I'm kinda of sad Strickland won the Democratic primary for governorship of 
Ohio and not Michael Coleman, but he seems to be good for Columbus. While 
I love Pittsburgh I have to admit the lures of Columbus continue to be 
attractive, and I formulated some thoughts on why Columbus is flourishing 
while Pittsburgh stagnates. At some point I should write them down.

As to Cincinnati pulling it off, I hoipe they do, but proposals have come 
and gone for years.

And as far as the Cato Institute, it's like asking the opposite of a Yes 
Man. The answer's always the same. I stopped listening. Maybe they have a 
point but it's like the boy who cried wolf. My fingers are in my ears. 
Don't care.
