Speaking of sick in the head...

If you live in Ohio, you will have two less mental hospitals to go to thanks to Gov. Strickland.

He is cutting spending to deal with budget woes and I like how the cuts are coming from things like:

- mental health
- drugs and alcohol addiction services
- rehabilitation and corrections
- education
- jobs and family services
- argriculture (hello Ohio!)

and line items like these AREN'T getting cuts:

- budget and management
- elected officials
- administrative services
- old people
- young people

I cannot wait until crime rates and such go up so that I can kindly point to all the programs that got slashed that are designed to improve systemic problems.

Ugh.
