Okay seriously, what do we need the “first Warning” bit in there for? If its Ohio and sunny in November, maybe you should warn us, we’re not used to that. If we’re going to get a few inches in December, don’t act like its something amazing and sensational.

For about three days now, the weather people have made it sound like we’re about to get the snow storm of the century. Its going to be trecherous, cold, and just plain awful. Stay inside and wait by the tv for more info.

Yesterday it rained. It was cold. There were a lot of people out shopping and a lot of people driving home after the holidays. Quite a few of those people simply didn’t drive according to the conditions. They wrecked and the weather people said we should worry becuase more bad weather was coming. I was “First Warned” that there would be three inches of snow tonight.

Today, as of 4:00, I’m rather disappointed. The damn sensational weather people said the roads would be dangerous! There would be snow! There’s hardly a trace of snow on the ground. I checked the completely un-sensational National Weather Service. Here’s what they say:

Late Afternoon: Snow showers. High near 35. Breezy, with a west wind around 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total daytime snow accumulation of around an inch possible.

Tonight: Snow showers likely, mainly before 10pm. Cloudy, with a low around 24. West wind between 13 and 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Damn! All we  get is an inch and a half at the most?!? This sucks. Two weeks ago, the First Warning weather man told us “We’re going to be seeing the coldest weather in six months!” Um, really? Its going to be colder in November than it was in May? No shit. Thanks for the First Warning!

Are the TV news weather people like this everywhere? Or just here in Ohio?

According to the Dayton Daily News, Ohio gun dealers are busy selling guns to the crazy people who think the Democrats will violate their second amendment rights and outlaw the sale of guns. I guess this means Biden won’t shoot anyone on a hunting trip

Not surprisingly, Bill Goodman’s Gun and Knife Show has seen a drastic increase in attendance over the last few months.

From newsnet5.com:

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said many of the weapons were sold through gun shows. Some lawmakers said those shows are a huge source for illegal guns.

Under federal law, if someone buys a gun at a licensed dealer, a check is made on his or her background. But if someone buys the same gun at a gun show — or out of the back of someone’s car — there’s no background check required.

Critics of the so-called gun show loophole said 17 states have now acted to make such sales by unlicensed dealers illegal.

“You have to have some check done before you make that sale, which means this guy’s sales to criminals would have been stopped, but Ohio doesn’t have any restrictions like that, and that’s one of the reasons it was so easy for him to operate like this in Ohio,” said Elizabeth Haile with the Brady Center.

Gun control advocates said Mark Andrew Nelson’s case is unique because of the mind-boggling number of guns he put on the streets. They said it’s just one example of how traffickers get guns from legal dealers into the hands of criminals.

Even our own Republican Senator (who was not reelected during our tenure as a red state) Mike Dewine tried to support legislation to require SOME type of background check and end these illegal sales. Of course whacko republicans like Orrin Hatch say that these measures are just efforts by the liberals to take away your guns.

One of the pawn shop owners, who deals mostly in hunting guns and high end collectible guns has not seen his sales on the rise. Wonder what that means. Will there be more crazy dog shooting rednecks roaming the streets of Ohio?

No charges for former mayor who shot, killed 10-pound pooch

Mike Day said told deputies he feared for his life when Precious chased after him on his bike.

By Lauren Pack | Staff Writer | Tuesday, November 11, 2008

SEVEN MILE — Butler County Sheriff’s detectives are continuing an investigation to determine if any laws were broken last week when the former mayor of Seven Mile shot and killed a dog he said was attacking…
Deputies were called to the 100 block of Ritter Street at about 10:45 a.m. Nov. 3 on a report of shots fired and a dog running loose…

Mike Day, 55, said he and his wife were riding bicycles when a dog, a terrier mix named Precious, ran at the couple and caused Day to fall off his bike, according to the sheriff’s report.

Day said they were trying to ride away when the dog came back again and tried to attack them. That is when Day said he fired five shots from his .357 Magnum handgun, hitting the dog at least once. The13-year-old, 10-pound pooch died at the scene.

The dog’s owner, Linda Spencer, said Precious along with her canine sister, were both in cages on the back porch and she did not know how the dog got free.

Day told investigators it was not the first time the dog has run at him when he rode past the residence. Day also showed the deputies Seven Mile identification and badge and advised he worked for that village’s police department, according to the report.

Mayer said detectives still want to talk to another person before completing the investigation to determine, “what if any crime actually occurred.”

What the hell? How on earth are you in fear for your life when a 13 year old, 10 pound terrier is chasing you? And why in the hell do you have to have a loaded handgun to go for a bike ride with your wife? Is the little village of Seven Mile really like Eight Mile in Detroit?

My opinion is this guy is a whacko who needs to seek some therapy. I think I would have to wait until he ran out of bullets and then kick his butt for shooting my dog.

Does anybody else think that he planned to shoot the dog? He says it had chased him before, and lets be realistic, even Charlton Heston wouldn’t strap on a handgun for a bike ride.

On first glance, I thought they forgot to put Obama on the ballot at all. Right there in the top left corner was McCain/Palin, next to some guy running for the Constitution Party, next to him, Ralph Nader. Where the hell was Obama? Then I found it. Tucked down in the bottom right corner of the screen above the write-in option. That’s where they put Obama/Biden. WTF?

Surely the Rs will say they did this for our own good, so we wouldn’t accidentally select the wrong candidate like we would if McCain and Obama were placed next to each other. This wasn’t ordered alphabetically or in any other way I could figure out.

Really, I tend to think I’m pretty smart. I’m a good reader, and a fast reader. I scanned that page twice and didn’t see it. I had to actually slow down and read through every candidates name before I found Obama.

State of Ohio – I say this is super B.S. Just because the Republican party here lost their challenges of the new voters. Ken Blackwell and his relationship with Diebold live on in Ohio. Maybe we will be the next Florida.

Update: Apparently they hid him at the bottom of the list on the paper ballots too.

Is anybody else having any issues with voting today?

Michelle Allen of Middletown was arrested on one count of disorderly conduct for allegedly getting in the way of traffic on Wilbraham Road and chasing children in her cow suit.

She also urinated on a neighbor’s front porch, police say.

According to police, Allen talked back and threatened to cause problems in the jail if she was arrested.
Allen appeared in court Tuesday morning dressed in the suit.
It is not clear why she was wearing the costume.

And then I wonder why people always pick on Ohio. This actually made national news
