Sleepy Hollow...What?



So we received a postcard offering a photo session with a company called, "Sleepy Hollow Studios" Does that mean they cut the heads off in all of the pictures?

Carl in the 'Shoe




Carl got to see his very first Ohio State football game yesterday. I think he enjoyed himself, don't you? (and GREAT seats courtesy of my father-in-law -- thanks, Bob!)

See more of 'em here.

EDIT: Okay, yeah, the more I think about it, the more Jake is totally right -- so, fixed.

This can't be good

It's Good to be the King, I Guess

Since it appeared that the Ohio gubernatorial race wasn't going to be as hotly contested as I originally believed earlier this year, I haven't been paying quite as much attention to the minutiae of that particular race for a while. And it's not like I've had my head in the sand -- I've been reading the paper and watching the news, and I'm generally up on what's happening with the election. So how in the WORLD do I miss something like this?

Voters in Ohio can be forgiven if they feel they have been beamed out of the Midwest and dropped into a third-world autocracy. The latest news from the state’s governor’s race is that the Republican nominee, Kenneth Blackwell, who is also the Ohio secretary of state, could rule that his opponent is ineligible to run because of a technicality. We’d like to think that his office would not ultimately do that, or that if it did, such a ruling would not be allowed to stand. But the mere fact that an elected official and political candidate has the authority to toss his opponent out of a race is further evidence of a serious flaw in our democracy.


In the New. York. Times.

Seriously, when did this happen, and where the hell have I been?

Mike Embraces Ted


Thanks to a generous invitation from the Roofers Local 86, I had the opportunity to attend Mayor Mike Coleman's fundraising event for Ted Strickland at Nationwide Arena this evening. And the best part - special guest speaker Barack Obama!

Goldwater

Two things of note, in something of a tangential followup to the discussion ongoing under the Brown/DeWine/torture bill post and on past bloggery during elections here on the dc -- Andrew Sullivan muses briefly about the notion of Goldwater Democrats (!) here, riffing off of Markos Moulitsas's essay on the libertarian Democrat at the Cato Institute's (!) online magazine CATO UNBOUND.

An interesting notion, although my first thought was "leaving aside the personal peccadilloes, doesn't this pretty much describe the last administration?" Anyway, bears some thinking about...
