According to his blog, Ken Blackwell wants to lease the Ohio Turnpike so he can "make Ohio the 'Middle East of America'".

Given the recent violence - oh, and the thousands of years of historical violence- in the area, I'm not so sure our state should strive to be the "Middle East" of anything.

Will Blackwell's Job Creation plan aim to make Ohio the "Nazi Germany of America"? Hey- there was NO unemployement under Hitler...
