Mixed Messages at Local Tea-Party Meeting with Phil Heimlich as Guest Speaker
Wednesday, March 17, 2010

On Tuesday evening, the Eastern Hills Tea Party gathered at the Madeira City Hall to hold one of their periodic meetings and to discuss the national debt.  Just prior to 7pm, between thirty and forty people gathered outside the main meeting room looking through tea-party literature and eating some cake to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the founding of the Cincinnati Tea Party.  As seven-o-clock came around, citizens were ushered into the main chamber in order to hear from the night’s featured speaker, former Republican member of Cincinnati City Council and former Hamilton County Commissioner, Phil Heimlich.

More on the ailing Hamilton County sales tax
Friday, March 19, 2010

In my previous article I had a graph showing the trend in the 0.5-cent sales tax collected for the stadium fund along with the national trends in personal consumption, both goods and services.  One commenter, Bearman, asked why national data for sales tax weren’t included.  A good question, and the result only reinforces the conclusion that Hamilton County’s economy is ailing.

Corporate Democrats get more corporate dough than Republicans
Monday, April 07, 2008
 

They say, “He who pays the piper calls the tune”. The Wall Street Journal reports that Big business is bypassing McCain. The Center for Responsive Politics reports that of the 7 major industries that reliably support Republicans, all have given more to Clinton and Obama, except for 1. And even that 1 is a close call. The defense industry and the health industry have given much more to the Democrats.

NY Times confirms Obama never really cared about the public option
Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Black Box Voting on Chain of Custody
Sunday, March 16, 2008

Editor’s Note:  The material below is from Black Box voting.  The issue reminded us of an old video we captured with Stephan Skirtz.  He made waves in the 2004 blogosphere when he captured a photograph of a red pickup truck with a George W. Bush bumper sticker, and a guy handling uncounted ballots in a dark parking lot with no one around.
