O-H I-O!!!! (Apparently spelling really IS a challenge for them!)


You probably have heard about this news story from Westlake Ohio (taken from MGoBlog):

A Cleveland-area principal says he's embarrassed his students got proof of their "educaiton" on their high school diplomas.

Westlake High School officials misspelled "education" on the diplomas distributed last weekend. It's been the subject of mockery on local radio.

Now, it is no secret, or shouldn't be, that this blog is no friend of the "state" of Ohio. The reasons why are too numerous to list here. But suffice it to say, this Michigander has not gotten past the Toledo War or, The Ten Year War for that matter.

Stories like the one above make me feel vindicated in my irrational hatred of all things Ohio, Columbus, the community college in Columbus they have the balls to call a "state" university and the football team from the aforementioned community college that functions far more similarly to a halfway house from high school to the state pen, than as a beacon of amateur athletics and intercollegiate competition. (See, Maurice Clarett, Exhibit 1)

I think Illinoisans feel similarly toward "Michiganders" as you feel toward Ohio. Yeah...people from Michigan suck almost as much as Two Stickney.
