Attention, Please!

*  Republican candidate, Steve Stivers, will be have a big fundraising party with bank lobbyists today.  "Birds of a feather stick together."  If Stivers makes it to Congress, bankers in the country will be happy.  I dislike happy, greedy bankers.

*  Is it possible that some people/organizations/bloggers on the right might be trying to target the NAACP like they went after ACORN?  Do these attacks on the NAACP involve the usual suspects??????  Why do right wingers hate NAACP?

*  Do you know why the Ohio Republicans are against the building of the new Ohio rail system?  There are two reasons: (1) the Republicans are trying to create a depression and blame President Obama, (2) they do not want 8,000+ jobs to be created during the administration of Democrat Ted Strickland.

* Republican candidate for Ohio governor, John Kasich, has often targeted college students by trying to have them pay more interest rates on college loans, eliminating college grant programs, and  cutting work-study programs (see NYTimes).  President Bill Clinton stopped Kasich from destroying college aid programs.  Heaven forbid if Kasich wins election in Ohio!  Kasich has already expressed interest in restructuring the programs at state universities.
