From yesterday’s Openers:
Touting his presidential campagn in Hawaii over the weekend, Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich called himself the “Aloha candidate” during a Hawaiian television interview in which he wore a white lei over his dark suit.

I used to like Alan Keyes. Even though I disagreed with some of his stances, I thought that among conservative voices out there he stayed true to his prinicipals and that was worthy of merit.
But enough is enough. Apparently he’s running for president - again. The guy has become a sensationalistic carpetbagger of the first […]

Many of you may know John from his posts on this page so I thought you might be interested in an email from John that came this morning:
I’ve been slowly but surely trying to become a photographer over the past year or so. Amazingly enough, in the past few weeks some […]

Excellent piece yesterday from Roger Bundy at Cleveland Equnimous Philosopher about the Medical Mart, er… CONvention Center, er… General Fund Sales Tax Increase.

It’s been six years, get over it.
Sorry that sounds cruel, I’ve never been very good with grief. It’s just the way I’ve been feeling lately when it comes to remembering 9/11, but not the way that it’s changed our world.
