Ohio residents, check the Ohio forum
There is a chance to get a recount if 5 people from a county request it. Details are on the Ohio form board.

4. Here's LIMBOsevic's Assault on Ohio (& all of us)
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 10:21 PM by UTUSN

First, as a supposed thanks to Ohio, he played the whole of his opening theme song. He's mentioned the lead singer before, saying she is a Leftie rocker who doesn't listen to him but who gave permission for her song to be used, saying that her parents listen to him. Today he said that she is from Ohio, had departed to do her career thing years ago, but when she came back on a visit years ago she found it totally developed and polluted and whatever, hence the lyrics of the song, which he said are "anti-development". So he played the lyrics version, rubbing salt in our wounds.

Then, when JK's speech was being aired, he talked over it in parts, mocking him (and us). As for the parts calling upon Shrub to "bring us together" or "heal" us--------hah.

Is the new Supreme Court going to let him off the hook on his drug charges? How much is Marta going to get? Will KAGAN leave CNN upon marrying him? Will she wait while he does time?

.... The punch line is that the very next song on the band's recent album, "The Brooklyn Side," contains a direct attack on Limbaugh. "Welfare Music" includes the lines "Angry fat man on the radio / Wants to keep his taxes way down low / Says there ought to be a law / Angriest man we ever saw."

Limbaugh's producer, Kit Carson, says his boss hasn't heard "Welfare Music" and, in fact, was unaware of whose music was being used until Pop Eye called to ask about it.

Limbaugh, of course, has been using the opening riff from the PRETENDERS' "My City Was Gone" as his main radio theme for years--with no complaints from CHRISSIE HYNDE, Carson says. But it wouldn't matter whether she, or the Bottle Rockets, complained, since radio stations and networks pay umbrella licensing fees to royalties collection agencies that allow them to use whatever music they choose.

6. Let's Get Chrissie to Ditch LIMBOsevic

Since the late '70s, singer/guitarist/songwriter Chrissie Hynde has been the leader of one of rock's most widely beloved bands, the Pretenders. Born on September 7, 1951 in Akron, OH, Hynde was turned on to rock the same way zillions of others did in the '60s -- via such British invasion bands as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, and the Kinks. After attending Kent State University in the early '70s (where she witnessed first hand the tragic Kent State Killings of 1970) and forming one of her first rock bands (with future members of Devo), Hynde became enamored with such proto-punk bands as the Stooges and the Velvet Underground. Fed up with the U.S. music scene, Hynde bought a one way ticket to London, England, where she became a rock critic. But more importantly, she found what she was looking for musically -- Great Britain was in the middle of a musical revolution, "punk rock." Hynde became friendly with such up and coming punk rockers as the Sex Pistols and the Clash (Hynde almost formed a group with members of the latter band), and its back-to-basics approach inspired her to form her own punk outfit. By the late '70s, Hynde had accomplished her goal, as the original Pretenders lineup was in place -- Hynde on vocals/guitar, bassist Pete Farndon, guitarist James Honeyman-Scott, and drummer Martin Chambers. Due to Hynde's vast rock & roll knowledge, the Pretenders were much more than just a punk band -- they were never afraid to let other styles seep into their own sound, making their 1980 self-titled debut one of rock's greatest all-time classics. Despite worldwide success and a hit sophomore album (1981's Pretenders II), tragedy was lurking around the corner -- both Scott and Farndon died from drug overdoses less than a year apart from each other

The Pretenders carried on despite the career-threatening misfortune, and scored another big hit with 1984's Learning to Crawl. Despite numerous lineup changes ever since, Hynde has kept the Pretenders going -- issuing solid albums and continuing to be a must-see live act to this day. She has also never been afraid to voice her opinions concerning some causes and topics she believes strongly about, such as PETA and ending animal cruelty.
