TOLEDO, Ohio, June 16 (UPI) -- The mayor of an Ohio city where people were ticketed for parking in their own unpaved driveways defended the move as a law enforcement measure.  Numerous Toledo residents living along Holland-Sylvania Rd. said they received $25 tickets for parking on an unpaved surface -- their own driveways, WTVG-TV, Toledo, Ohio, reported Tuesday.

What mayor won't be running for reelection?

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Charging that toys sold with meals in fast-food outlets can lead children to develop bad eating habits, a Brazilian prosecutor on Monday asked a judge to ban such sales nationally at chains including McDonald's and Burger King.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 15 (UPI) -- An Ohio college graduate said she had a good excuse for cutting in line from No. 749 to No. 1 at commencement: She was having labor pains.
Dawn Thompson Ester said she was bumped up on the schedule Friday and allowed to scurry across the stage at Columbus State University to accept her diploma with medics waiting at the other side of the stage after she began feeling labor pains right before graduation, WEWS-TV, Cleveland, reported Monday.

I wonder if the radical feminists will denounce her and claim that she represents the privileges of an oppressor class - mothers.
