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.

The TRUTH Why Modern Music Is Awful

The Musket V-Twin - Jay Leno's Garage

I met this guy on at a bike night in late July. He's just like he is on this video. Humble, smart, funny, open and fun to talk to. I originally just wanted to say hello to him because I'd seen part of this video and the next thing I know almost an hour had gone by and we were the last 2 bikes still there. (mine is restored as original 82 Honda Magna V-45). I think what he did here is astounding. You don't meet someone every day who made their own engine. You read that correct ly. He made the engine. He didn't assemble an engine out of parts manufactured by others. He carved molds out of wood and took the molds to a foundry that cast the parts out of aluminum. And then he did it again but made the engine bigger. One has 13,000 miles on it, the other has more. Reliable, clean and leak free, and the sound is just as remarkable as he describes it here. I'd love to see him make a living at this but he says to many people that say they are exited to have ...

Outraging the outrageous outrageousness with the outraged Republicans and Tea Partiers. Redux.

Below is how I described things 7 long years ago. I couldn't then have thought things could get much worse. I guess I was wrong. No one was paying attention. Do I have your attention now? Or better put, do these facts and conclusions have your attention now. I wrote this at a time when I thought if you explained things to people you could change their minds. I turned out to be so completely wrong about that. Confronting people with the facts and Truth makes them feel cornered. For far more people than I would have believed have their opinions ruled by their emotions. Especially the ones that are, can I say, have less gifted brains than others. Often you can't explain things to them that they can understand. Conspiracy becomes their fall back. Once somebody's headed down the road to thinking that facts themselves are corrupted by conspiracy, well what can you do? They think it makes them smarter than you because that they figured out this conspiracy that everybody in...
