| ClayNation: The tao of Applebee's football
Watching a football game at the Applebee's bar is sort of like playing secondary for the Tennessee defense. You know you're going to get burned, you're just not sure how. Several people have written in wanting to know where I was during the second half of South Carolina-UT and why I haven't commented on that game. For the record, I was at Applebee's. The reason I haven't written anything about this was twofold: Because it was so painful to describe and because I'd already written 3k words on the Cocktail Party that same day. So I've decided to go back in time and tell you why you never, under any circumstances, want to watch a football game at Applebee's. Not that you needed to hear this from me but even still, a truer statement has never been made in this column. So here we go with my evening at Applebee's.

Groups oppose widening of turnpike, parkway
We cannot support the asset monetization plan until these projects are removed and sent back to the drawing board," said Kate Slevin, executive director of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign. "These road projects are a gigantic waste of money and a leap backwards for a state that's become nationally recognized for its smart growth-oriented transportation plan." Corzine has said his toll plan, which would raise tolls eight-fold by 2022 in order to halve state debt and pay for decades of transportation projects, would help pay for the road widenings. He has cited the promised projects, and the lack of money available to pay for them, as a reason tolls will have to rise, with or without his plan. The turnpike expansion would widen the road between exits 6 in Burlington County and 8A in Middlesex County.
Moyer to lawyers: Fight foreclosure for free
Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas Moyer, a Sandusky native, knows home foreclosures are a big problem back home in Erie County and across Ohio. Moyer is asking the courts and Ohio attorneys to reach out and help as many homeowners as they can. The chief justice has asked judges who handle foreclosure cases to use mediation to resolve as many cases as possible. And he's asked Ohio lawyers to volunteer in foreclosure cases to help families who can't otherwise afford a lawyer. A record number of foreclosure cases in 2007 have helped contribute to the growing workload in the Erie County courts, said the clerk of courts, Barbara Johnson. .
