– The PD’s Robert Schoenberger takes a look at what Michigan’s right-to-work legislative battle would look like in Ohio. In summary, it would be taken to the public. (Cue acid flashbacks to the S.B. 5 days.) “Because of (a 2011) court ruling, a push to make Ohio right to work would almost certainly lead to a union-backed recall effort,” Schoenberger writes.
– WEWS has a handy primer on McDonald’s plans to remain open throughout Christmas Day. That’s according to a leaked internal memo, which contradicts the company’s original promise to give employees time off for the holiday. One website commenter tidily responds, in full: “i am sure the polw drivers will be going there to have there coffee……………………lol.its a good thing………….” Hmm… Quite.
– Over at Lakewood Patch, local reporters are summing up Lakewood High School’s ban on hoodies. An online petition circulated among students and parents urges the administration to overturn the ban. No dice, despite the more than 500 signatures in support of the reversal.

Is it really a right to work movement or an anti union movement? I guess it is similar to ‘the right to life’ versus ‘the right to choose’. And as we are polarized on issues and see all things in today’s USA as either a republican idea or a liberal idea. We have learned from the election that nearly 1/2 of the country was against President Obama and would have given the votes Romney got to any of the inept candidates which were shown to us in the great republican primary debates. First the republicans wanted just about anyone BUT Romney and then they realized they have no ligitimate candidates so they just wanted someone who would do as the lobbyists and powers on the right wanted them to do. Mitt would do anything they said but he was not in tune enough to NOT say angry things about half of the population of the USA. Now the whole republican party has made their living hating the President of the USA and his supporters that they can not get out of the negative mind set which the GOP demanded from them. Because a negative sales approach does not really work as it does not look for how to solve problems but only how to gain (or gain back) the power and control. And because the new type of republican is all about ego and control of political power and (most important of all) money, they have failed and must change or be voted out altogether by 2014. Those who signed the Norquist Pledge will either de-sign or their political carreers are finished.
” I am sure the Plow drivers will be going there to have THEIR coffee”
The outlawing of hoodies? Are not hoodies just the hooded sweatshirts of the old days that everyone wore? Will they also outlaw Skittles? What are some of the people with the gun control issues saying around town? Are assult weapons and extended clips a good thing for people to have? Would the right to bear arms include nukie weapons if they were for sale at a gun show? I’d like to have a Fast Attack Sub to protect my neighbors and family in the Lake Erie area. LOL. Hey! If I don’t have at my access a Fast Attack Sub would I just find another weapon to blow up the world with? The only reason the world has not blown itself up by now is that the people at the red button have not been total fools and have only come close to pushing the button. But what if the president of the USA was an ego maniac like The Fucking Donald? I could see him getting his ego harmed and he would just start crying like Ralphy while he was beating up on the kid with the racoon hat and maybe just push the button out of ego-rage. Or what if Jerry Sandusky would have been at the button and then found out to be a child rapist? Or Anthony Sowell? Or Adam Lanza. I mean crazy is as crazy does and the more crazy a person becomes the more likely they are to use the available destruction devices to their potential.
Thanks for the link, just one note. My colleagues Alison Grant and Henry Gomez contributed major parts to that story. Unfortunately, our online credit system doesn’t allow for the co-bylines that we ran in the paper.
