IVY League Gets Millions while shunning Americas Best.

Using "don't ask don't tell" as false justification, many Ivy league colleges have banned ROTC programs, while still collecting taxpayer dollars. A violation of the Solomon Act.

The amount of our money these "elite"s schools collect, despite having billion dollar endowments, is obscene.

"Enforcement of the Solomon Act means a lot of money is on the line for universities. For example, in the fiscal year 2010, Harvard received $621 million in federal funding; Yale received $510.4 million; and Stanford received approximately $880 million. Brown University and the University of Chicago also risk losing federal funding by banning the ROTC."

ROTC issue aside - why are these colleges getting a dime of tax payer money to operate, while indoctrinating students of America?

Cut the funding all together -- return all Federal Education dollars to the states, and let us keep more of our money for our own children's education. Mine is going earn his help from the taxpayer by serving as an enlisted man, or through ROTC.

Run from the Taxes.

New study shows Ohio #3 in the nation for expected population loss.



Though specific conditions are pushing people out of some states, economists say more people moving around would be a positive sign for the economy. "Mobility makes it easier to respond to economic cycles," says Karp. "People are still living in places where there are no jobs. That's one of [the] reasons why the unemployment rate remains really high."

Top 5 States People Are Fleeing

No. 1: New York


Projected Loss: 49,000 people


Population: 19.7 million


Percentage Change: -0.25%


The Big Apple may lose more people than it gains in 2010 because of the depressed job market, high cost of living and an ongoing trend of retirees and job-seekers heading to the South and Southwest.

No. 2: Illinois

Projected Loss: 27,000 people

Population: 13 million

Percentage Change: -0.21%

Economist Nathaniel Karp says Illinois' tax structure and loss of manufacturing jobs may be pushing people out of the state this year.

No. 3: Ohio

Projected Loss: 8,900 people

Population: 11.6 million

Percentage Change: -0.08%

Over the last five years Ohio has lost an average of about 30,000 people per year. This year its losses are projected to slow, but remain significant enough to put the state at No. 3.

Democrat Supporters Stoop to Theft

Several large Steve Yarbrough campaign signs have been stolen, removed from private property recently. This is nothing new of course, but remains pathetic.

Nice job Dems, or Dem supporters. Why stand on experience, record, judicial principle and philosophy, when you can just try and keep the opponent from the public eye.

They Waste Time - and Our Money

So the Toledo City Counsel has spend time, effort, rhetoric and resources == Our Money, debating whether to pass an ineffective, wasteful, irrelevant Resolution calling for "comprehensive national immigration reform."

At least the Mayor voted no and put such silliness to rest. Accept of course, the Blade continues to write on this non-issue.

City counsel -- keep your eye on the ball and focused on issues you could actually control.

Pandering such as this is shame full.

Wasted Resources for Pandering Rhetoric.

The Lucas County Commissioners issued a proclamation, or passed a resolution, denouncing the State of Arizona's new immigration enforcement law. What a waste of our tax dollars. How much county time, paper, ink, and other resources were used to issue this irrelevant, pandering statement that has no bearing on AZ? What a great example to set -- a written resolution that supports the lawlessness of illegal immigration.

Remember this action in the voting booth and remove them all.
