Where is the unemployment rate?

Ohio's unemployment rate for January 2006 will not be released until March 7, 2006. This is highly unusual because unemployment rates are generally released three weeks into the next month. What kind of game are they playing here?

The crash of two Marine Corps helicopters resulted in the loss of 10 Marines, including Senior Airman Alecia S. Good of Broadview Heights, Ohio.

The State of Ohio has no money to help with the destruction of trees caused by the ash borer. Cities and individuals are left with no help. Ohio Gov. Taft had asked for $50 million dollars from the federal government but will get far less.

Rush Limpbaugh, former oxycontin addict and source of hot air, said the following on his show, according to the Enquirer:

...When Iraq war veteran Paul Hackett was forced out of the Democratic primary in the U.S. Senate race in Ohio, the conservative commentator criticized the New York Times for not saying that the Democrats' preferred candidate is black.

Limbaugh later found out from e-mails to his nationally syndicated radio show that the candidate, U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown, is, in fact, white....

I don't think that Limpbaugh actually does research for his program. He just makes it up as he goes along.
