* Have you wondered why Jon Kasich has to have his running mate, Mary Taylor, with him at all times? Is this Kasich's way of exerting complete control?
* Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist, has an absolutely stupid campaign ad running in central Ohio. The ad starts out with an ominous voice with quotes from the right wing Wall Street Journal and then shows a picture of Mary Jo Kilroy. At the end of the ad, Stivers is shown in living color, and with a voice that sounds like he is reading a storybook to children.
* Oh, no! Sen. Jim "Waterloo" DeMint has some additional crazy ideas and this time he put them in writing at
Politico. In the article, DeMint and his pal from the Heritage Foundation had this little bit of information:
...It’s no surprise that pollsters Scott Rasmussen and Doug Schoen found that more than “half of the electorate now say they favor the tea party movement, around 35 percent say they support the movement, 20 [percent] to 25 percent self-identify as members of the movement and 2 [percent] to 7 percent say they are activists.”
ROFLOL: “...half of the electorate now say they favor the tea party movement..." ??? Where did they get their people for this survey --- -- down the hall at the Heritage Foundation???
Jim DeMint wants to end public education. Wow. This idea is terrific if you want to promote stupidity. I guess DeMint would like to return us to the Dark Ages when only the rich and powerful could afford to learn to read and write. I have a name for DeMint's plan:
Jim DeMint's Plan to Promote Ignorance:
End Public Education.
I think that Jim DeMint is a complete moron. How the hell did anyone vote for him?
