The league itself is a real, real bad idea. The amateur comedians trying to have a little fun with it is worse.

"The donation -- and the deduction -- have been common for at least two decades for Upper Arlington residents who wanted to build new homes on property where old homes resided. Firefighters have used the old houses for training and burn-down exercises." And just to clarify, it's not that the...

$3 for the Sunday paper? Are you freakin' kidding me?

I'm not going to put a number on it because, frankly, I'm not the one doing the hiring and I'm not going to put words in the company's mouth. And I'm not going to disclose what I was paid the last four years, other than to say it was more than fair. Also, consider this: Of the 14 on staff...

Personal reasons. The job itself is great.

This is Columbus. The cost of living isn't that high. That said, the pay is good. And I'm the one who has had this job for the last four years and been with the company the last 11.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone. Pay is good. Columbus is a great place to live/raise a family. Hours are good. Lee is great to work for. Photog staff is excellent. The other in-office people, both in sports and on the news side, are excellent. Several of the reporters have been...

I'm all for people praying to play to the best of their ability or that no one gets hurt ... But it's a well-known rule where I work that if you try to quote someone saying Jesus helped them win or anything along those lines, it's coming right out, and quickly. Jesus doesn't care who wins and...

If you or anyone close to you has been affected by cancer, you know this much: Mr. Kennedy and his family are in the midst of a horrible time, and it sounds like there's not really a good reason for optimism. I pray for remission or cure, or at the very least, comfort for him and his. My...

Sure as heck ain't Columbus. I agree with Athens and Columbia.

Merits of Gore's interpretation of global warming aside, how did his work fall under the category of peace? I'm not tying to be a smart-ass and I'm not embarking on some political game of gotcha, but I just don't get the relevance of this to peace.

My knowledge of the paper today is limited, but my wife is from that town and her parents still live there. I know the former ME pretty well and I know a few people who used to work there before moving on to bigger and better things. I don't know the current SE at all, but in my visits there the...
