Sigh. Ohio.

Let’s just say I’m a bit disappointed with you, Ohio.  After the past two elections I thought maybe you were getting the hang of things.  Vote down Casinos.  Vote in a Governor that isn’t obviously crooked.  Ban Smoking.  You even did a decent job not being racist in the presidential elections last year.  But what happened?  I thought we had an understanding here. Remember 2007?  We said no casinos, right? And here you go changing your constitution to let in casinos and you don’t even get a decent tax rate?!?  Did they really take you in by saying they’d give you 34,000 jobs? Do you actually believe for a minute that those are lasting permanent jobs instead of fluffy pink fairy-like jobs that soon go flitting off to the next state in need of casinos?  Well I guess the respite is over, I’ll go back to a cold ambivalence towards you, Ohio.  Please don’t take it personally, you just don’t know what’s good for you.
