Monday

* The whisper campaign against State Auditor Mary Taylor, Ohio Republican, has started, according to Ohio.com. The Ohio Republicans are continuing their efforts to dump Taylor because her fundraising efforts are below their expectations. Ohio.com has the story which leads us to believe that the GOP may pull Taylor out of her run for re-election. The Ohio GOP seems to be able to demonstrate that they only want white men in leadership positions in the state. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

* Some good news for Ohio---- Bloomberg:

Aug. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Honda Motor Co., Japan’s second- largest automaker, plans to boost production at factories in Alabama and Ohio helped by the U.S. government’s stimulus measures aimed at reviving the country’s worst vehicle market in three decades.

The carmaker will also start production on Saturdays in some areas, Honda spokesman Hiroyuki Horiuchi said in a telephone interview today. He didn’t say by how much output will be increased.....

Looks like the "Cash for Clunkers" will get more people working again.

Rachel Maddow was on NBC's Meet the Press yesterday. She did a great job exposing the truth about Dick Armey. Politico has more on Dick Armey:

While seniors across the country are worried about cuts to Medicare under health care reform, Dick Armey thinks that the popular program is "tyranny."

The former House Republican majority leader and current chairman of conservative group Freedom Works characterized Medicare as such on NBC's "Meet the Press" because seniors are forced to participate....

"This is important...The anti-health care reform lobby thinks that Medicare is tyranny," said an incredulous Rachel Maddow, the NBC weekday host who was seated next to Armey on the panel.

Dick Armey's true intentions are revealed.
