Blue State

Well, thanks in small part to yours truly, Ohio is a Blue State. We have a new Democratic Governor and Senator. In the House of Representatives, however, the incumbent Republican won. We also won an increase in the minimum wage, rejected slot machines and now can go into any restaurant, bar, or bowling alley and not reek of smoke. Triumph of the good guys. Also, I was unfortunately rejected as dog-catcher this time around. I have, however, been appointed to a lesser position by the winner, in a show of solidarity: I am now the Wood County Marmoset, Vole, and Yak catcher. Laugh all you want, but Yak's are a tricky, wily breed. -M.D.S.
