READ MORESo reads a headline in this weekend’s Canton Repository: http://www.cantonrep.com/topstories/x1446675959/Ohio-Treasurer-Mandel-kn… No, don’t get all excited and think that The Empty Suit has actually come up with a substantive economic plan that will work. In fact, those of you with even a smidgen of political sophistication have probably already figured out what this so-called “way to […]
READ MOREI’ve been following the steady stream of revelations about Mitt RMoney’s financial dealings and his desperate, flailing efforts to continue to conceal them and to brand demands for more transparency on his part as somehow below-the-belt, or “disgusting” as one of his spokespersons said. Considering that the electorate is supposedly up in arms about the […]
READ MOREBack in 2004, Ohio voters favored John Kerry over George Bush for the presidency. Very likely, they currently favor President Obama over secretive, contemptuous rich guy Mitt Romney, who believes rules don’t apply to him and government should serve only the ultra-wealthy.

READ MORELast weekend, we posted about Jon Husted’s decision to limit in-person early voting to weekday business hours — when many working people cannot get there. Jon Husted: Enemy of Democracy Although it’s the legislature and not Husted that pulled the dirty trick that repealed HB 194 yet kept in place the blackout of early voting […]
READ MORE“You people.” Is there any phrase that sounds quite as superior and condescending? Remember the flap when our governor told state Senator Nina Turner “We don’t need your people”? It dismissively sweeps aside a swath of people as being inferior, unimportant and irrelevant, being “other.” And remember when breathless pundits proclaimed that Ann Romney was […]
