Must. Resist. Happy dance.

Update: If you weren't here for the earlier thread, please check out what I said there about the Squidoo page, and let me know if you have any suggestions. (You can also set up a "lens" of your own, if you like.)

I've already posted this in the comments, but I think it deserves front page status. Plus, another Open Thread just seemed desperately lacking in creativity.

I found the following newsy nuggets at Buckeye State Blog:


The Ohio Fraternal Order Of Police endorsed Democrat Ted Strickland for governor today, turning away from a Republican gubernatorial candidate for the first time in more than 10 years.

The organization, which represents 24,000 police officers, had little to say about why it likes Strickland more than Republican Ken Blackwell.
and...
"Blacks against Blackwell" has formed and begun distributing a pejorative flyer that groups Blackwell with President Bush and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

"Our color -- but not our kind" reads the flyer, complete with photos. "Joined at the hips and lips. The bad bunch. This trio has worked hard to suppress votes, erase civil rights and kill public education. In November, vote Ted Strickland for Governor of Ohio."
