On September 1st , two of the judges of the 6th District Court of Appeals rendered a poor decision in the city of Toledo's case against Bruce Beatty. Judges Arlene Singer and Peter Handwork, with Judge Dennis Parrish dissenting, in short have said the Concealed Carry law passed in 2004 by the state legislature is not general law because the statute allows private property owners to restrict firearms on their property. The effect of their decision is to say that every municipality in the state can manipulate this law to mean what they want, even rendering it null by prohibiting firearms from being carried in places the law clearly indicates you can. It is amazing the legal mine field they created in rendering this decision.

To illustrate the ruling's absurdity, let me suggest this scenario:

Imagine some city in Ohio, let us say Kent, decides to ban Sport Utility Vehicles in the city for "environmental reasons". Now picture some poor motorist from Zanesville is driving through and he is arrested and prosecuted for violating this ordinance, one which he has never even heard of... This is the same sort of "twilight zone" legal nightmare the 6th District has created for the law abiding citizen who has a concealed carry license in Ohio. This court has represented itself as being as loopy the 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco, California, which is infamous for wanting to strike "God" from the Pledge of Allegiance...among other things.

The lamestream media told you:
Giant exotic oysters have been found in San Francisco bay, according to a story with no byline from the Associated Press. This has caused grave concerns among environmentalists who fear the invasive species could have adverse effects on native oyster species and upset the natural ecological balance in the bay. Up to nine inches long, divers have removed 256 of the exotic mollusks so far. It's unclear how they got there, or how many are left.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
Migration and survival of the fittest are basic features of the theory of evolution, but as soon as a hardy species of anything shows up at someone's doorstep, envirophiles get overcooked about "invasive species." Hey, you either accept nature with all its warts, or need to admit that this branch of environmentalism is a corrupt system of affirmative action for favored organisms, driven by junk science and an illogical misguided sympathy for one animal over another animal.
The lamestream media told you:
Senator John McCain, in hot water for bashing President Bush then quickly retracting his remarks, could not be reached for comment because he was traveling in Europe.
Ombudsman notes however that:
The idea that a U.S Senator can't be reached because he's traveling in Europe insults the intelligence of news consumers, and we know it. Your grandmother can be reached while she's traveling in Europe, and a U.S. Senator can be reached anywhere, even the toilet, which is where "news" media credibility is heading with stories like this.
