  • The Cynic searches in vain

    As someone who was (but no longer is) a registered Republican for more years than Cliff Rosenberger has been alive, I can assure you that the questions raised by Mr. Zawistowski deserve answers from elected officials. I can further assure you that no answers will be forthcoming. Trust me.

  • An early winter, an old Mocha, and the next great K-9, er, canine
    “I can’t carry my gun, my wild game bag and you,” I told Mocha. “You move at about the same pace as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest – and that’s probably unfair to the one-legged man. Besides, you’re gun-shy and have been since the day you were brought to Adams County 17.143857 years ago and dropped off on our kitchen floor.”

  • 'Deadline Artists'
    Of course, the awards aren’t really important, etc., etc. It’s all about the service, blah, blah, blah. By the way, HCP staff are under orders to report anyone who commits a multiple ax murder naked in our building.

  • The heavy hand of government
    Funny, a few years ago while campaigning for office, the present “mayor” railed against what he called the heavy hand of government. He railed against the EPA, RCAP, PUCO and any other alphabetical abbreviations he could conjure. Today, he IS the heavy hand of government.

  • Why hasn't city warned of 'dangerous' property?
    If, indeed, this property is a danger to society, why, pray tell, haven’t the city, county and state of Ohio advised us of such dangers?

  • News, thieves, sausage and ham
    Fox News embarrasses itself and insults its viewers each time it airs this “B Roll” footage. Stop it, already. If the United States Armed Forces cannot defeat such a ragtag group of terrorists, we are in serious trouble.

  • Power, absolute power, and the Ohio GOP
    From a perspective acquired from more than 30 years of reading and watching the political machinations of both major parties – to neither of which I belong – I can only offer that the Ohio Republican Party has successfully outmaneuvered its rivals in the Democratic Party to the dead-center of all potentially contentious issues.

  • You can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds
    Too many in the media want the luxury of being on all sides of every issue. And then they wonder why they have absolutely zero relevance.
