And when the smoke cleared...

...the score was Ohio State 42, Michigan 7. God's in his heaven. All's right with the world.

I don't know

Should Hillary be Secretary of State? I don’t know. Is bailing out GM the right thing to do, or just what I’d like to see happen? I don’t know. Is Hank Paulson doing yeoman’s work in an impossible situation, or just greasing all his Wall Street pals? I don’t know the answer to that question either. What I do know is that in order for there to be harmony in the universe for the next twelve months, Ohio State must beat Michigan tomorrow. And that is a fact, Jack.

Our first black President


Not so fast all you Obamamaniacs. Perhaps you are not aware that many historians believe that this honor was already won by our 29th President, Warren G. Harding. According to a recent New York Times article, President Harding may well have had an African-American great-grandmother.

While probably best know for the Teapot Dome scandal, I've always admired him for having several high school pals either in his cabinet or as close advisers. One of them rented a house near the White House where they regularly played poker, drank, and may possibly have entertained some ladies.

The evidence is inconclusive, but as a proud graduate of Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Ohio, I hope it is true. Ohio gave flight and light to the world, but the last couple of decades have been tough for the Buckeye state. This is an honor that can bring the spotlight home again.
