Text of the page (random words):
me shows this bend exeter in blue to be the no vote on the ballot issue which was to alter the percentage of votes necessary to enact an amendment to the state of ohio constitution from a simple majority to a 60 margin this result meant that 57 of ohio s voters defeated the proposed legislation it is of interest to note that 70 of ohio s legislature s house and senate seats are filled by republicans when votes are tallied in general elections this same party gets only 54 of the total still a majority but not by nearly 20 with 57 voting to defeat an obvious power grab one hopes a message has been sent the explanation for this discrepancy is called gerrymandering the name derives from governor gerry of massachusetts delineating a phony voting district around boston in the 1812 election this drawing of voting districts to artificially favor one party is done by both republicans and democrats who value their re election far above one man one vote when you look at the map from governor gerry s time the outline of the district is said to resemble a mythical salamander hence the new verb to gerrymander and its gerundive gerrymandering august elections in ohio are unusual and expensive and are notorious low turn out the political hacks who pushed this waste of time and money counted on that low turn out to have their barely defensible position govern the course of the state of ohio into the future of course the issue of the right to an abortion was the veil behind which this wicked witch of the west lurked in dwarfed disguise try as it could and it did try with plans and campaign ads to obfuscate the issue the republican party just could not manage to make work the strategy when afraid of losing try confusing so on august 8 2023 in ohio the shield of the real majority heralded victory over the mythical salamander of the power hungry republicans the issue of the right to personal health care the right of a woman to be solely responsible for her own health decisions the right to an abortion will be decided by a simple majority of ohio voters if that issue happens to appear before the voting public victories over salamanders even mythical ones at this point in our common life deserves a bend dexter that will stand out in our memories 3 comments filed under uncategorized november 9 2020 12 05 pm a rhyme i think it was mark twain who suggested that while history may not repeat itself it seems to rhyme today an administration is sowing handfuls of seeds of doubt about the legitimacy of our election it seems not to matter whether these seeds are fertile they may be cracked outdated or in some other way had their germ rendered ineffective their fertility though their effectiveness in growing into real proof of election fraud has not been their purpose the purpose of president trump and his lawyers has really been to stir up and reinforce his base of support otherwise why would they be talking about campaign like rallies to muster large crowds their hope is to enrage americans into believing that core values and institutions are corrupted truth is not the goal propaganda is a rhyme on this day in 1938 a spontaneous popular riot was fomented in protest of the killing of a german diplomat by a polish jew the nazi government did not officially endorse the popular response of smashing windows of jewish businesses and the burning of premises but police and firemen were restrained from responding this night of breaking glass kristallnacht is considered to have initiated the massive persecution of jews propaganda minister goebbels had launched the holocaust have we forgotten probably we did not even know that nazi is an abbreviation for the german word nationalsozialist and is short for nationalsozialistische deutsche arbeiterpartei nsdap national socialist german worker s party here the word socialist is proudly proclaimed as a fascist identity meaning popular there is no corresponding alliteration or rhythm in this rhyme but an analogy is hard to miss 3 comments filed under uncategorized november 1 2020 12 19 pm irreparable damage when our across the street neighbors filled their front yard with blue lives matter flags and one sided trump banners aimed across the street we decided we wouldn t ask their adolescent boys to tend our plants in our absence these neighbors i ll call them kim and mark have been our friends for a decade that relationship has survived by an absence of any political conversation since we all knew we stood on opposite sides of the street kim and morgan apparently took offense at our asking another neighbor to water the flowers instead of their sons they have signaled their sentiment by ceasing even a semblance of communication not so much as a wave or a grin has floated across the street since september this section of west state street is polarized it might as well be the dmz at korea s 38th parallel no loud speakers though it is a wall of silence an impenetrable barrier from both sides since neither jane nor i can imagine how anyone with even a modicum of intelligence or a smattering of morality can be supportive of a trump second term we do not intend to attempt to re establish any fellowship ours is a microcosm of the alienation that plagues our country combine this political chasm with a covid 19 pandemic and isolation is as confining and claustrophobic as i can imagine contemporary life can be i would guess that except perhaps in border states our civil war did not cause such a reign of rancor between neighbors has the social fabric of our nation been so ripped apart that it cannot likely be mended soon having been born under fdr in 1940 i do not have all that long to ponder that question i fear though that it shall take a newer deal than any proposed to patch the fabric have you even a thimble full of hope 10 comments filed under uncategorized july 11 2020 11 47 am freedom maga freedumb covid19 is a hoax freedumb open schools now freedumb no snowflake mask for me freedumb 13 comments filed under uncategorized june 14 2020 2 19 pm milestone or tipping point our daughter once said dad you are like like forrest gump you keep showing up where history happens that was in the summer of 2008 after we had been interviewed by then senator barak obama and his wife michelle it was a stop in columbus ohio on his campaign my wife jane and i were legislative advocate volunteers for aarp and the obama campaign contacted aarp wanting a retired couple of modest means to chat with senator obama about his tax policies after being vetted by the campaign staff we met with the obamas at an assisted living facility on karl road in columbus where for about a half an hour we chatted with the obamas and then governor strickland then we sat on the dais behind the senator during his press conference needles to say we were impressed that he had really listened to us and even quoted from our conversation in what he said jennifer had known that as a young seminarian i had participated in the selma to montgomery march in 1965 so she identified me as gump like she knew that these milestones marked meaningful stops along our life s journey today we are all showing up where history happens the trump administration by its fascist white nationalist bent is turning america back to its liberal past the recent deaths at police hands of african american men most notably george floyd has our country gazing over its left shoulder milestones pop up regularly for individuals and even families as life s journey extends this time though is not a mere milestone we have happened upon a tipping point in our nation s history to change the metaphor we are at a major crossroad baseball catcher and philosopher yogi berra advised if you come to a fork in the road take it if we do not take this left fork we shall be citizens of a failed state diminishing in status effect and the commonweal 5 comments filed under uncategorized june 2 2020 10 00 am is anyone paying attention the language of our declaration of independence sounds afresh in news casts and social networks the history of the present king of great britain echoes the behavior of the potus he has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good the potus insists that making it easier for our population to vote will open flood gates of fraud although there is no evidence for such an assertion he has endeavored to prevent the population of these states for that purpose obstructing the laws for the naturalization of foreigners refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither the potus obsession with preventing access to our borders has just such an effect he has affected to render the military independent of and superior to civil power conference calls to governors of states rose garden rants and bible waving photo ops by the potus do threaten martial law great britain s king was held responsible for cutting trade with all parts of the world today s newspaper reports that china will cease imports of us pork and soy beans in its trade war with the potus thus threatening us agriculture he has excited domestic insurrections amongst us in every state in cities large and small the voices of the unheard have irrupted from demonstrations to destruction and the potus can only demand tougher responses when in the course of human events such has been the patient sufferance it is their right it is their duty to oust such loathsome administration is anyone paying attention 12 comments filed under uncategorized april 9 2020 8 06 am release prisoners we in ohio have a far sighted effective governor it pains me to acknowledge that a republican governor can have those adjectives attributed to him but he puts the welfare of people ahead of his party winning dewine s decisions to put our state on lock down in contrast to other leaders in other states puts him way out in front as a leader governor dewine has another good idea early release of some of ohio s prisoners to lessen the threat of prison wide virus infestation the suggestion is to release some of those convicted for non violent crimes that makes sense ethically and politically a pause though before that action is taken a pause long enough to sanitize the empty cells and dorm spaces then fill those prison spaces with those who are responsible for the spread of covid 19 resulting in close to 15 000 deaths in the usa begin with the denier in chief who insisted that warm weather would put an end to this mild chest discomfort this administration has enough sycophantic cabinet and staff members hanging around to fill all the beds thus vacated and sanitized include as well those who have exploited the supply chain for masks gowns and other personal protective equipment for their own personal or corporate gains my best guess is that releasing murderers would not turn back into society criminals responsible 15 000 homicides and it is certainly true if they were elderly prisoners of course this will not occur as we are no longer a nation of law 5 comments filed under uncategorized february 8 2020 10 17 am noise i was awakened this saturday morning by noises coming from our kitchen noises like a dishwasher being emptied by a woman disturbed somewhat fearful that my sleeping in might be the occasion i tossed on my white terrycloth robe the one that makes me look like a polar bear cub and tip toed into her view she was in a rage even tears swelling in her eyes through those tears her endearing greeting assured me that i was not the problem she had turned on msnbc to hear again that the vindman brothers had been fired by potus our criminal in chief and that the mob boss had recalled ambassador sondland for many of us living out here in fly over country tear stained rage is about our only response yes we could contribute to one of the endless solicitations for money to elect a replacement for potus or to fund a cause that will bring sanity back to our country but we ve already given to our senior pension social security limits any suggestions for the likes of us trump is a very sophisticated sociopath politician he has no capacity for empathy knows only his own stunted adolescent desires and is an expert at gaining followers from among half of our neighbors who somehow feel themselves threatened by the other half of us shades of heinrich himmler and josef goebbles when i wrote that paragraph on a scrap of paper after breakfast she said post that just reading it gives me a way to articulate my rage ok i ve published it now what do we just wait around for a 21st century version of the reichstag fire can we expect soon to see people who have been adjudged to have opposed potus wearing emoji patches on their clothing identifying them as enemies of the state the man in the white house is either a deliberate criminal or a very high functioning mentally ill individual either way i came into this world under fdr and i sure as hell do not want to go out under djt 12 comments filed under uncategorized february 7 2020 7 51 am the fault dear brutus when shakespeare has cassius say the fault dear brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings cassius wanted to prevent julius caesar from becoming the roman monarch monarchy has already been asserted in the usa and the fault is not in our fate but in ourselves as if it were not sufficiently ironic that a state sponsored prayer breakfast is held in a country founded upon principles of separation of church and state the president in that event mocks and defies the very fundamentals of religious tradition as the pundits on morning joe opined this morning when half of our neighbors support this president the soul of our nation is at risk i am afraid dear brutus that the answer is not to attempt a revival of religion across the nation to recover that soul it is a perversion of religion that has brought us to this moral miasma the evangelicalism of the 18 th century colonies has been perverted from a nature s god equalitarianism to what at the time of the revolution was a british loyalist insistence upon oligarchical authoritarianism that predominated from establishment anglican pulpits today s evangelicalism has lost almost all touch with the teachings of the jesus whom they pretend to follow after a bit over two hundred years desenters have lost the war what needs to be recovered is not a recovery of faith but a renewal of the philosophical bases of american republicanism 10 comments filed under
