Another busy political week here in Ohio and in the Nation, while it's probably not likely, at least with Ohio's present political climate to see same sex marriage allowed here in Ohio, in New York -- it's now a reality. There's also the budget to talk about, Rep. Randy Gardner managed to keep his amendment in the state budget that will allow for [...]

May 5 Open Thread
There's lots to talk about this week, if you didn't watch President Obama at the White House Correspondents Dinner ... it's a recommended video to watch. There's also the discussion concerning the death of Osama bin Laden, though there was a post on that. Here in Toledo, there's the recent election, rumors of a Chinese pharmaceutics [...]
