'To the horizon and beyond...'

Gov. Ted Strickland's inaugural speech included an unintended play on Buzz Lightyear's line from the movie Toy Story. He pointed out that former astronaut and U.S. Sen. John Glenn - his inauguration co-chairman - knows about where the dreams of Ohioans have taken us before "to the horizon and beyond."

Afterward, reporters were calling the new governor "Buzz Strickland," after the variation on Lightyear's "to infinity and beyond." The first Democratic governor in 16 years even pointed to the sky to punctuate the line.

Asked about the Lightyear line, Strickland spokesman Keith Dailey just laughed out loud. It was not intentional, Dailey said. "There were a number of allusions, but most were to leaders of the past. He was obviously referring to Ohio's leadership of flight."
