Kasich's version of who to take from and who to give to.

Along with stripping state workers of their right to fairly bargain wages, Kasich gave his chief of staff a $47,000 dollar a year raise for $122,990 to $170,000. That's more than the Attorney General, Speaker of the House, Auditor, Treasurer or Senate President.

The Communications Director will make $120,000, up from $89,003. That's more than some cabinet holders. A RAISE of nearly $31,000.

The Press Secretary will get $90,000, an increase from $69,992. A RAISE of over $20,000.

And Kasich has created a state job, that didn't exist, "special assistant", paying $145,000 for Jai Chabria who was person 2 in John Kasich’s “two person office” in Columbus when they both worked for Lehman Brothers. Remember Lehman Brothers? That company that help bring the economy down in '08, where he continued to work until they locked the doors behind him in bankruptcy?, In 2002 he made the introductions using his political connections which resulted in an investment of $480 million from the state pension fund and he was paid a bonus of $400,000 of his $587,175 '08 salary. What do you think became of that investment the state of Ohio made with Lehman through Kasich's contacts after the stock market crash?

I want to ask pro SB5 working class people why they aren't outraged about this, instead of trashing a union like OAPSE, who's workers average salary is $24,000 and whose average pension is less than $900 dollars a month?

My next topic will be outsourcing. 

I'll end this article and begin the next one with a reminder about his years as a member of the Board of Directors at Invacare  where our dear Governor Kasich personally signed off on a policy of outsourcing jobs from Ohio to China and Mexico.

It's possible to learn about what compainies are lobbing now state contracts. It's on the Office of the Legislative Inspector General website.

I also need to write about the role evangelical christianity is playing in this administration and how it is the underpinning to every thing Kasich and those he's bringing into government.

A perfect example is the uber christian oil and gas industry insider he hired to run the Department of Natural Resources.

Attached to the USS Handcock

I guess you could say I was attached in a way because my dad flew off the Hancock during this time. His jacket has that emblem on the back of it. Until recently I thought when he said he was among the first Pilots to take off with steam catapults that he was talking about World War II. But recently I discovered that the Randolph was the first carrier to use steam catapults. Maybe they use some different kind of catapult in late World War. But you can see in the footage here is of the Catapult test sleds. You also see that in some of the footage here the Skyraider being launched by the catapult off a different carrier and it's wheels are in the air before they hit in the end of the deck. There's footage from the Randolph that shows F9F cougars being catapult launched and tipping down towards the sea as they gained airspeed followed by an unassisted Skyraiders rumbling down the deck with its wheels in the air before it gets to the end. LOL  maybe you could let let a Skyraider Lum...

Objectivity, conformation bias, the stork and far left knee jerk reactions to fracking and the Canadian pipleline.

  I'm a 64 year old liberal. But what I also try not to be on the topic of energy production is a hypocrite. As I read the responses here I’m certain that about 99% of you drive cars to your home where you turn on you lights, put your cell (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) on the charger, cook or microwave (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) something to eat, which you get from your freezer/refrigerator, (made in an energy hog Chinese factory) boot up your computer (made in an energy hog Chinese factory), hit the net, turn on a TV (made in an energy hog Chinese factory).. And on and on, yet you’d think from what’s here that you haven’t got a clue what powers it all. You can NOT live a modern life and be AGAINST energy production that is scalable to hundreds of millions, indeed billions of people. Please notice it has to be scalable. You can’t get nearly enough of it from our favorite tree hugging sources, wind, solar, hydro (most tree huggers don’t like that one) or ...

Spanish Grand Prix 2016

The facts are.... Rosburg has always been a nervous type. He suffers anxiety and is not really comfortable in his own skin. I thought he’d pretty much outgrown this jitteriness, but he evidently still gets stress induced anxiety that sometimes makes his brain freeze. There’s actually a clinical condition called “stress induced amnesia” most people are familiar with when the run across someone they know, and suddenly can’t remember their name. It’s a kind of panic mode, and it explains how he could have screwed up his start setting, and then the “oh my god” full blown panic you see when he’s trying to race the car, find what’s wrong with the setting, fix it, steer the car look in the mirror all at the same time. It led him to make a really bad decision. I don’t know under whose rules you’re allowed to run someone off. His indecision was obvious, Lewis saw it, went for the gap with a huge overtake advantage and was driven off the track on the right hand side of the track with a r...
