Great Lakes News that has Nothing to do With Beer, Boring

A set of laws about the use of water from the Great Lakes, which is being organized by all the Great Lakes states as well as parts of Canada, is being opposed by one Ohio legislator. State Sen. Tim Grendell (insert Beowulf jokes here) thinks the new laws will hurt privately owned wells, ponds, and other water sources. Of course other people just think he is crazy. Noble or wack? You decide.

Juve Holiday Party Gets Country Bar

Let me start this off by saying take full advantage of holiday parties, people. Get free drinks, get free food, and then maybe get some more free drinks. Hopefully the result will be a party as interesting as the one thrown for those involved in Cuyahoga County’s Juvenile Court where the head cheese and other members of the staff rode a mechanical bull to raise money. Michael McIntyre’s fake nicknames may not get you laughing, but some of this article’s quotes will. I made it through a Plain Dealer column without even mentioning the photo! Three cheers for me.

Last Hoorah

With Democrats soon to take over as Governor, attorney general, secretary of state, and treasurer, Republicans are making a mad dash to pass laws. Among the issues are one to override a gun-concealment veto (remember guns hidden in cars and carried in parks is A OK) and one to cut government spending on abortion. In case it needed to be stated, Dems are not to happy. Sneaky, sneaky.
