Republicans Out to Kill a Good Time Yet Again

Over a month ago we passed along the news that Gov. Strickland – a man opposed to gambling in Ohio – would propose a bill that would allow for Keno in bars. The plan came in reaction to Ohio’s complete lack of money, but left gaming companies seeing red because Strickland was only allowing gaming that would profit the state, not private businesses. Well, it looks like that Keno plan is about to get shot down thanks to some Ohio Republicans with itchy opposition figures. Yesterday Senate President Bill Harris made the Governor drop a request for funds that would purchase Keno equipment from next week’s Controlling Board meeting. Apparently Strickland wanted to take $17 million dollars from an already ailing Ohio economy to purchase gaming goods. Now multiple Republicans, who said they were opposed to any sort of gambling in the first place, are stating that they will vote against Strickland’s plan, while one, State Sen. Ron Amstutz, says he will introduce a bill to kill Keno. Yes, there is at least one bad gambling pun in this article.

Democrats Out to Hide the Truth Yet Again

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, whose name has graced MyFriendCleveland more than LeBron James, has been unable to remove herself from the world of Cleveland news. Maybe that whole voting machine thing is dying down now, but Brunner is now starting to look a bit shady thanks to her rejections and nomination for Summit County Board of Elections. An editorial in the PD explains how Brunner rejected recommendations from Republicans for two candidates, one who had held the position in question for 30 years, before turning in a last minute decision to appoint her own attorney, a man who was in complete opposition to the Republicans first nominee. Of course this mess was moved to the Ohio Supreme Court where Brunner refused to answer questions, then demanded that the hearing be closed to reporters and video cameras, and have its transcripts sealed. Unfortunately for Brunner that ain’t the way shit works and the public is now well aware that she got suggestive information on all three Election Board nominees from Democratic board member Wayne Jones, a man who put the extreme back into partisan. And well,shit just got a lot more complicated.

And The Number of Legally Insane People in Ohio Keeps Growing

I almost can’t even type this, because I sort of just want to yell it. A woman in Elyria recently dumped out some fish sticks to find that 3 pairs of them had been stuck together in cross shapes. Of course rather than break these up and feed her children the woman decided that the food looked like the scene of Jesus’ crucifixion. Don’t worry, it only gets better. Like a long line of face-in-toast opportunists before her, the woman is now selling the sticks on E-bay. Now, let’s think about this for a minute. Fish sticks are sticks. When two sticks overlap they form a cross. None of these sticks were oddly shaped or had any sort of bizarre or intricate detail to them, they fucking overlapped. This is not news, this is a common occurence in the world of frozen foods. Go ahead, go buy some frozen french fries right now, I will guarantee that you find at least one cross inside and that is not a miracle. I don’t know who I feel more sorry for, the woman or Channel 5 for lacking an substantial news coverage whatsoever.

Yes, a Bit Regarding Elections

Fox was kind enough to point out that today’s Ward 6 council seat primary may end up costing $100 per vote to count. Sound absurd? Well here are the details. The state had to pay $46,000 to set up this election after the seat was left vacant by a councilwoman who became clerk of the council. At last count, only 304 registered voters in the Ward had voted, meaning that 46 grand was spent on preparing machines for 304 people. Fox also points out however that this primary marked the first use of new second-chance optical scan machines that will give voters a new ballot if mistakes are found on the first one they place in the machine. That’s good, right?
