If Kasich and the state legislature are looking for easy targets – and they’ve got to be, given the fiscal cliff we’re facing courtesy of Taft, Strickland, and the national economic downturn – public unions seem a perfect place to start. The premise that government desk jockeys who are nigh-impervious to firing need union representation is laughable. Enthusiasm for handsomely compensating public employees is hardly at an all-time high among the public.

Partisan Hackery Mea Culpa
To recap, no one should vote for Maryellen O’Shaughnessy. Unless you’re a public union member, in which case go for it – after all, you’ve already funded her campaign with your union dues! If possible, even fewer than zero people should vote for Mary Jo Kilroy, a socialist who has no business telling businesses what to do.
History’s Most Powerful Whiner?
Since I disagree with basically everything the man does, there’s a lot about President Obama that I find annoying. One of the president’s worst attributes – maybe even worse than the way he views himself as God’s gift to a horribly flawed America – is the fact that he’s a giant whiny baby: “It may… Continue reading History’s Most Powerful Whiner?
Letting Lying Kilroys Lie
This isn’t a minor typo or a case of questionable wording that takes liberties with the facts. Kilroy’s ads from the Ohio Democratic Party are consistently, prominently bragging about something that did not happen.
Mary Jo Kilroy Lies Like a Dog
The only fun thing about receiving campaign mailers is that brief second when your brain is processing whether it’s a promotional or a smear piece. So, I hope Chris Redfern won’t hold it against me that I smirked when I opened my mailbox to an ad featuring this graphic: Reading from left to right, I… Continue reading Mary Jo Kilroy Lies Like a Dog
Hypocrisy, Ably Demonstrated
Think of the hypocrisy you get when a socially conservative Republican is caught in an affair, except with taxpayers as the saps getting screwed.
In-Kind Support for Bob Etheridge
Have you watched the video of Congressman Bob Etheridge (D-NC) calmly and patiently responding to a question from a presumed conservative activist? [youtube v60oNUoHBYM] In response to an ambush question on a Washington sidewalk, an elected representative of the United States slaps the camera out of a citizen’s hand, grabs his wrist and holds it… Continue reading In-Kind Support for Bob Etheridge
Your Tax Dollars at Waste
Back in April, I submitted a public records request to the Franklin County Auditor and looked at recent raises given to County administrators. Most of what I saw was only remarkable in that it revealed bureaucratic restraint during a recession. But, as a past employee of the Clerk of Courts, I was disappointed to find… Continue reading Your Tax Dollars at Waste
In case you forgot…
The past two election cycles, we’ve put some heavy-duty hippies in Ohio congressional seats. Senator Brown and Representative Kilroy wanted to remind us of that, so they gave a fun Obamacare pep rally to a union group on Thursday. I personally find myself taking the lazy, jaded, “I prefer conservatives, but a politician’s a politician”… Continue reading In case you forgot…
Working for (Several Percent of) You
If I put my ear down to the rail I think I hear a senator giddy about blowing taxpayer funds on something 95% of Ohioans won’t use. I’m sure it will create enough jobs to be worth $17,000,000 a year in subsidies, because liberals always carefully justify every expenditure.
