Obama has just won the election in Ohio. Well, he won AN election in Ohio. We held our mock election at my junior high school this week. Since it was built in 1973, the junior high where I teach has correctly picked the winner of the POPULAR vote for president in every election, including Carter in '76, Clinton in '92 and '96, and gave Gore the edge in '00. The amazing part is that it is in a dead red part of Ohio. The county is overwhelmingly Reepublican. Bush has visited a number of times. Palin was just here last week speaking in our local hockey arena. It's in the district of Minority Leader Boehner. So, how close was the race this year? Follow and find out!

Yes, the local Ohio Department of Transportation has removed my Obama signs again. They are placed on our property that is also part of the state access right of way on a stretch of limited access road. The signs are on a steep embankment where the highway department doesn't even mow. The signs do not obstruct the view or create a driving hazard. When my mother-in-law called, the head of the garage told her it was because the signs are located on the state access land of a limited acces section of a state highway.

My friend just purchased new property and made an interesting discovery. There was a house built on the property in 1912. During excavation for the basement the artifact pictured below was found. It is currently owned by the grandson of the man who built the house. I won't give the exact location of the property because my friend does not want treasure hunters in his yard. It is along the Stillwater River, a tributary of the Great Miami River, in Ohio. It is not far from some famous mound structures left by the Fort Ancients, Adenas and Hopewells. A local archaeology professor believes it may be a hoax. I am hoping that someone here with archaeology experience could help with identification of this unique item. It is very bulky and heavy. It's hard to imagine what kind of tool this is. Please help!!!!!!

I just want to share a few things with you that I am thankful for this year. We are currently in the hospital with my oldest daughter, age 7, who is having some complications with her bone marrow transplant. We have been through a long journey starting with my youngest, age 5, getting a transplant last summer. Both girls have an immune deficiency that will hopefully be cured by the transplant. I have really gained a greater appreciation of everything through all this, and I want to share a little with you all. I originally posted this on a website for sick people called CarePages, so the format may seem a little odd, but there are space and style limitations on the site. I'm just too tired and lazy to do much more than copy and paste.

For those of you ignorant about "push polling" like I was until reading about it in Wikipedia , this is a form of telemarketing designed to "push" voters away from one candidate or party and toward another. The call is disguised as a poll, but laced with misleading information designed to sway your opinion about a person or party. I was recntly the victim of this kind of poll. While it is legal in some states, other states have made this type of telemarketing illegal as in the case of push polling in Indiana designed to influence voters of IN-09 against voting for Barron Hill. Follow below the fold to see how it is working in Ohio with the NRA. Read More

I stumbled across this essay in an e-mail from my county Democrat Chairperson. It initially intersted me because the writer lives in my town. It kept me reading because the content is so moving. It deals with what it is like to be poor in America. I'd be willing to bet a great many "progressives" here at DKos are still oblivious to the fact that these conditions exist right here in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Read More

Well, the Coward In Chief has done it again. He has managed to have his Kool-Aid guzzling, taint licking supporters shelter him from the big, bad public- especially the big, bad public that sees him for the true asshat he is.

See here how the county commissioners in whichever FUBAR county Crawford is in are trying to insulate their "leader" from dissent. Out of sight, out of mind right? Of course, this is not a First Amendment issue. Asshat, assclown, fucktards- all! (Props to all those who invented these clever names! I enjoy creative profanity.)

This is my first diary, so cut me some slack. I am horrified by what is happening in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama as I'm sure you all are. I want to help there so badly, but personal circumstances prevent me from actually going there myself. I just saw a news conference with Governor Rick Perry in which he said the state of Texas was going to start accepting the refugees from the area to help ease the burden on NO and the gulf area. he also mentioned that the Texas schools would absorb the students so the kids can get back to learning.

Let's think about that for a second. There are going to be thousands of students added to the already strained (I can only imagine it is like every other urban school district in America) Houston Public School System. It is a noble offer, but one that will tax the building capacity, student/teacher ratio, school cafeteria system via the free/reduced lunch program, and supplies of the district, i.e. textbooks, copy paper, etc. There has to be a way to ease that burden.
