Kilroy Campaign Sends Cease and Desist Letters to
Columbus TV Stations on Stivers Ad
Lawyers for the Kilroy for Congress campaign sent a letter to Columbus area TV Stations and cable providers asking for them to stop airing a new television ad paid for by Steve Stivers which contains false statements, about which we wrote earlier today....
...As we noted earlier today, the ad claims that Congresswoman Kilroy voted to use taxpayer funds to create and grow jobs in China.
It "questions Congresswoman Kilroy’s loyalty to her country,” the letter says....
Shame on Steve Stivers and his entire campaign staff.

John Kasich, Republican candidate for Ohio governor, has been on a personal crusade to anger and disenfranchise public school teachers, union workers, health care workers, hospital administrators, and now members of the State Medical Board of Ohio. In an interview with WSAZ, Kasich reviews how he'd "fix" the state:
...To fight the public outcry from the southern Ohio pain pill epidemic - the overdose deaths - the crime - the candidate said to shut down dirty doctors offices, perhaps the Ohio medical board was the doctors policing doctor’s problem.
"If the medical board doesn't want to do it, maybe we need new members, or get rid of the board all together," Kasich says...
Despite what Kasich thinks, he cannot just get rid of the State Medical Board of Ohio. This isn't Lehman Brothers! Kasich, who seems to be completely ignorant about how the state government works, is unaware that members of the State Medical Board of Ohio, are appointed by the governor for five year terms. The board members have terms that expire in the following years:
1 board member's term expires in 2011
4 board members have terms that expire in 2012
4 board members have terms that expire in 2013
2 board members have terms that expire in 2014
1 board member's term expires in 2015

Louie Gohmert of Texas is today's "Worst Person in the World" on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. I think Gohmert should be the "Worst Person in the World" for more than one day. Gohmert is the originator of the stupidest conspiracy theory in recent history, "terrorist babies." Science blogs has the video, the text, and some interesting comments from readers.YouTube
The people in the first district in Texas should hang their heads in shame to have elected such an ignorant person.
