Gov. Bob Taft became the first Ohio governor found guilty of a crime Thursday as he pleaded no contest to charges that he broke state ethics law by failing to report golf outings and other gifts.And let's not forget that all of this came to light because something around half a billion dollars of the state's pension fund was being invested in shady stuff like rare coins.
The common element throughout all of this? A major Republican donor named Tom Noe who had his tendrils in every Republican in the state, it seemed, and who doled out and received favors, legal and otherwise, like it was his birthright. And now that he's been exposed, and we've had a follow-on scandal that seriously weakened and embarrassed the state's governor, do you really believe that's all there is to know? I don't want to sound all conspiracy-minded here, but where there's smoke, there's graft. Just look at Connecticut's governor if you're still skeptical.
Beware the party that obtains total control of anywhere. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Always.

Hi,
I want to tell you something about making money.
Today I decided that enough is enough. I wanted to get past the scams. Not only for myself, but for anyone who is like me.
Can you make money on the Internet....... Yes, but it won't be easy.
If I say make money I mean enough money to live a comfortable life, I don't mean millions. It is true that people make millions on the internet but do you think after reading one eBook you can too? I'm sorry but that is not going to happen.
If you think my site will show you how to make a million in one month, sorry I can't help you there. If you think ANY web site can show you how to make a million in one month, believe me it's better to take your money to a casino. You WILL have better luck there.
I will tell you what my site is about. My site is about making money together.
I it is easier to make money with a group of people than to do it on your own.
Why? Because you can't know everything. Imagine a group of 100 people with knowledge of the Internet helping you to make money on Internet! Don't you think you have a better chance of making money? If you decide not too join, you will miss out on the best opportunity you had for a long time and for a long time to come.

Remote Control Hurricane Hovercraft gadget You've seen hovercrafts rushing over land and sea in big budget action movies and you've seen images of the U.S. Marines storming beaches in spectacular maneuvers. Now you can finally give the incredible hovercraft a test drive for yourself. Best of all you can finally see for yourself how a real working hovercraft defies gravity. The aerodynamic silver design of the Hurricane is like no other RC vehicle on earth. And unlike most remote control vehicles with one motor the HH3 Hurricane is powered by 3 independent power generators. Just like real life hovercrafts, an air thruster fills the rubber air bladder beneath the craft with pressurized air allowing it to hover above ground or water. Dual Turbo props power it across nearly any level, smooth surface - ice, snow, cement, dirt and water with ease. And you don't have to flip it over and unscrew bolts to access the battery compartment like most standard RC vehicles. gadget Simply pop the cockpit hatch to access the rechargeable battery with ease. If you're searching for something unique and exciting look no further than the Hurricane. Hovercraft includes one 9.6V Ni-Cd rechargeable battery and charger w/ AC adapter. Remote control includes one standard 9V battery.
