Remains of the Day, 10/9 – 11/18/07, Part I


My force-quits closed the tab permanently on probably 100s of tabs since October 9, the last day I did a Remains of the Day post. But I upgraded the memory in my computer today and am feeling that burst of energy and need to clean out the remains before a final push to finish some writing work and prepare for Thanksgiving.

So here’s a feast of links:

1. Bill Callahan and the ultimate meta of foreclosure links

2. Thanks to women like Marian Harris, the GOP’s allegedly unintentional lack of success in getting its party’s women into the Ohio statehouse may never subside.

3. Charters in trouble again. This time it’s alleged that they accepted millions of dollars to set up schools, but never did.

4. An effort to help remind President Bush about the existence and contents of the U.S. Constitution. Hattip ProgressOhio.

5. Plain Dealer editorial on Gov. Strickland and the school funding issue.

6. Must be that social worker thing in me: when I read a headline like this, Local program takes aim at online sexual predators, I expect that the article is going to talk about programs to help prevent individuals from becoming or continuing to pursue sexual offender behavior. But no – the article is about after the fact and programs that target identifying offenders and preventing further perpetration – a good thing, but where are the articles about what’s being done to address the behavior? Doesn’t anyone else find it disturbing that our society is churning out so many people who commit or seek to commit these offenses? Doesn’t anyone want to unlock the solution to stopping that production?

7. Ohio Supreme Court is taking public comment on the matter of public access to court records.

8. I didn’t read the PD’s story yet, but age discrimination lawsuits apparently are trending toward more success.
