Whatever "scare quotes" you want to put around it, readers have access to the extensive evidence I've shared. And although Issue 2 went down in a landslide thanks to, yes, a >$30 million smear campaign, 61% is not 70%.

Nice try...

It's spelled correctly, but that's not entirely clear due to weird handwriting and the photo being scaled down. "Honor the dignity of work" is a dumb slogan regardless of spelling, considering the modest reforms being protested against!

Ah yes, it turns out "end" and "enter" aren't the same word! Point well taken.

Wow - that glimmering Jimmy Carter argument that Israel = South Africa under apartheid. Such a bulletproof comparison.

Rest easy, everyone! Israel's neighboring countries are really only dangerous because Israel says so. So sayeth David_Brent.

I gather that your strategy would be to throw Israel to the wolves so their Muslim neighbors might hate us a little less? I'm sure all those nations would be docile and non-threatening if Israel didn't exist!

As to "Who cares," the answer is a huge number of American voters, Jewish and otherwise.

There's speculation that, starting in January, the General Assembly may pass some of the more popular aspects of the bill piecemeal. Unfortunately, there are a number of Republicans in that body without a backbone in theirs.

Courtesy of We Are Ohio, play money will soon be all our local governments have left!

Yes, I'm sure; the numbers are from October 2010 district forecasts and mean exactly what they say. 458 districts projected deficits amounting to more than $100 / resident, which includes 260 districts projecting deficits greater than $500, and so on.

I'd wager that WLW has lost a lot of southwest Ohio listeners with Cunningham's whining on Issue 2 - and it's not like a bunch of NPR folks are going to suddenly turn the dial in droves. That anyone even vaguely conservative would support public unions with more power than elected officials makes no sense.

It's disappointing to hear people like Cunningham hand talking points to far-left union bosses who will happily scream for higher taxes on Willie and everyone else!
