BROKEN NEWS!!!!!
Maureen Dowd, she of the "liberal" media, has become the New York Times' Op-ed version of Michele Bachmann. Forever full of herself, she's been obsessing against President Obama, most recently likening him to a "sad sack". She's even gone so far as to say that Hillary might have to run in 2016 to "restore honor" in the White House. Wow! It all leads me to speculate on whether she might not have been included on the A-list of a White House dinner.

A long piece in the Plain Dealer about the life and times of crusading Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine quoted his soaring reason for wanting to hold office. "I ran for attorney general not just to hold office, " he asserted. "I ran for attorney general because I wanted to do things." Noble. Still shouldn't the story also have included at least one word that among the biggest things that he's wanted to do was to slap down Obamacare and company insurance coverage of contraceptives as the lawyer for all Ohioans? Even women.

There they go again: The Beacon Journal ran another op-ed piece by Richard Vedder, the conservative Ohio University economics professor emeritus who is being paid $150,000 a year to write his slants by an outfit named Donors Trust. It is sort of a laundering operation that channels huge amounts of contributions to ideologically compatible "liberty-minded" charities. Fine. But shouldn't the reader be told that? Vedder did disclose in his most recent column that a Forbes magazine ranking of college president salaries that he used for resource material was compiled by his own think tank.
I've long believed that if you want a strong college degree, become a conservative economist. There's money in it.
