WMD Blast: Political Leftovers Edition

Like a holiday with the family, the day after is always filled with leftovers; and so it is with today's WMD Blast... Here are a few things left over from yesterday's fundraising frenzy...

OH-07: In March of 2007, Sharen's husband contributed to Marc Dann's campaign.

Now in her latest filing, Sharen paid Joe Stanford a healthy sum of $18K. Joe Stanford is the guy Marc Dann hired after all his buddies were fired. Joe Stanford is the guy who called the press conference, and Marc Dann didn't show up.

Good to know that Sharen Neuhardt is taking care of Marc Dann's former employees.

OH-16: Recently, Freedom's Watch ran some robocalls against John Boccieri which struck a nerve with the tough guy. But apparently, Youngstown John's Dee Cee supporters aren't to fond of his chances because when they launched an anti-Freedom's Watch campaign in some of those same districts, they didn't include OH-16...

Vets for Freedom releases another ad. This one highlights the success of the Surge and exposes the detractors of the policy. Watch that ad here.

Lileks is reporting from the Land of Inversion on oil:

Another day in the Land of Inversion, where the obvious is not an option. I heard more interviews with learned politicians informing me that “drilling for oil” will not affect anything, least of all the quantity of oil. We must apparently wait until 2015, when a magic engine that runs on unicorn flatulence is invented. I have to ask: why is anyone investing in unicorn flatulence today, when it won’t make any difference for several years? The answer’s simple: the engine will Appear at the chosen moment, borne from the clouds by starlings, but only if we have repented of our foul ways, and the last of the sinners has left the cul-de-sac to reside in a home located a sustainable distance from his or her place of employment. When the last suburban outlying development is empty, when the homes of whose size we disapprove has been abandoned, when the last citizen has been gathered unto the bosom of the urban center, where his profligate ways are sneered upon and the measure of his yard shall be no greater than the standard lot size decreed in 1902, then shall the magic engine appear. Until then, the wind and the sun will bear us onward.

Honestly, it’s like FDR coming into power promising “bold, persistent experimentation – except for any sort of government involvement in the economy. That’s off the table.”

Sounds about right to me...

A few weeks ago, a reader asked if I had an update on Kay Rogers' sentencing. Intrepid reporter Josh Sweigart confirms what I told that reader: no sentencing date yet. But he also has an update on what Kay is doing these days...she found an actual job! And there is travel invovled... Why did the Court approve travel to Canada? I don't know...

BRAVO! Judge Niehaus is absolutely in the right on this one...

John Kasich has $171,000 in his Kasich2000 account. Justin Miller from PolitickerOH lays out what he could do with that cash.

Just another 527 media idiot... Nothing to see here. Move along!
