OK Scott, you broke on of your golden rules!
That said, don't forget the Black Cat who is running for Governor the next election. I'm sure he will get top support from the higher up for shorting voting machines in more democratic areas in the state.
I heard this news on Sunday morning about Ohio wanting sellers to buy auctioneers licenses to sell on Ebay. I thought right away I should sell my ebay stock, because if one state gets away with this, then others will follow. Then I got to think, they legally can't make this law stick, because ebay is technically is the auctioneer, not the sellers. If you think about it, it's no different than somebody selling at any auction, including Sotheby's, Christies, or even Vintage auction. As long as you have to pay a fee to ebay & a percent, that makes ebay the auctioneer.
I think this is going to be like Ohio wanting people to pay sales tax at the end of the year on your on line purchases.
Don't forget the Invisible Man wanting to cut taxes when our state is loosing millions every week!
Doug Ball Also stuck in the middle!

I really hate this state....
With all the serious problems we face here in Ohio (the exodus of the young, inadequate school financing, huge pending budget cuts), leave it to our dumb-ass legislature to continue its track record of sticking its nose into non-issues.
Not to offend any Republicans out there, but this is what happens when a legislature is dominated by a single party with a bizarre agenda. They'd rather deal with changing out state constitution to deny legal rights to unmarried people, authorize the sale of anti-abortion license plates and create an Ohio version of the Patriot Act. How an inadequately researched law dealing with eBay can come to the top of the priority list and even be signed by our impotent Governor Taft (AKA The Invisible Man)--well its just mind boggling.
I really hate this state.
