Partisan Politics Aside for a Single Primary and Savings for the Tax Payer
This past week, I voted in favor of Sub House Bill 369, which created
one primary and settled the dispute over new congressional maps.
Every 10 years Ohio lawmakers gather to draw new congressional district

Assembly. I have been a part of this process twice before.
Never have I witnessed the minority party create as much havoc and
confusion at the drawing table as they did during this year.
However, Wednesday night we finally gained enough support from the
minority party to settle on a bill and hold only one primary. I
commend my colleagues who had the courage to stand against their party
and support the map that has fair... Read More. More Opinion. |

Tea Regime

Editor’s Note: In submitting this, Sam said: “I recently wrote this
piece comparing making a cup of tea to brutal war tactics. I couldn’t
think of two more opposite things to compare, but in the end I guess I
found a lot of similarities to their processes! Hope you enjoy it. Oh,
and I used a fictional name for a general in my piece. It is not a
subtly political move to speak out against any current warfare.” He... Read More. More Teen Scribes.

The Changing Political Landscape
Edited by Bob Robinson
According to the email that has been floating around the Internet for
the past few years, this is a real letter sent by an employer to his
employees. Read it, then see below for some links I found. This is just
another right-wing conservative email that may have some truth in it...
or it may not. So why add it to my expanding list of “right wing”
commentaries that I’ve chosen... Read More. More Blogs. |

ST. LOUIS — It sounded as if his teammates agreed with Bengals special
teams ace Brandon Johnson after wide receiver Brandon Tate broke opened

Dome. “He definitely gets my game ball,” Johnson said after Tate’s
56-yard punt return rustled the Bengals out of a 6-6 game late in the

A Democrat Reaches Across the Aisle on Medicare
by Michael Barone
It’s highly unusual in a presidential debate for two Republican
candidates -- the two leading in current national polls -- to heap
praise on a liberal Democratic senator. But in the Fox News debate in
Sioux City, Iowa, Thursday night, both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney
had very good words to say for Oregon’s Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden. The
subject was the Medicare... Read More. More Blogs. |
