Guess everything depends on John Boy’s “budget reveal” tomorrow. However, if he is a plannin’ to leech off those he has crossed off his list with a Sharpie, he needs to balance the budget by being ALL-INCLUSIVE — top, down would be a good place to start John; top, down. Either do right by ALL Ohioans or resign. We’re not as stoopid as you have been led to believe. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 14, 2011 @ 5:32 pm Actually bito it’s worse, I heard it on the drive home, but need a few to find the reference. I didn’t vote for him, but, OMG, I’m so sorry OH-IO has nothing even close to the WI recall option. However, I’m a firm believer in “what goes around, comes around” and John Boy will sorely disappoint those who voted for him, because they didn’t do their homework. As I’ve written before, today’s John Kasich is NOT the same individual I voted for and sent to represent me in Washington. He is a totally reinvented man. IMHO, his Lehman connection, selling junk assets to the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) and other Ohio public retirement systems will ultimately be his demise. He watched while thousands of Ohioans lost everything when Wall Street tanked. Yet, he was laughing his ass off all the way to the bank. As I said and said before, John Kasich is no longer the man who represented me in Washington. He has been overcome by greed and power; moreover, he sold his “Christian” soul to “Corporate” devils. Shame on him, shame on him! ***EDIT*** Kasich has the worst approval rating (at this point in time) than the LAST 3 Governors; Taft (R), Voinovich (R), and Strickland (D). Seriously, Taft, Voinovich, and Kasich; are Ohioans really that, and I know it isn’t a word, naively led? Honest to goodness, sometimes I’m embarrassed to admit I live in this state. Although, many of the seduced remind me of my parents, grandparents, brothers, aunts, uncles and cousins. Yet, I was the “baa, baa, black sheep.” All of them despised me because I thought outside the box. Must be why my mother told me once, “you think you’re better than the rest of us.” Jeeze, who would say that to their kid? Seriously, who? » Posted By boomer1949 On March 14, 2011 @ 5:14 pm The daughter says “he” is all about privatization and “his” kids go to a private “Christian School.” My question…did he “find Jesus” to fund his election? » Posted By boomer1949 On March 14, 2011 @ 4:44 pm well, while you were out… via WOSU.org… seems John Boy is whistling a different tune: Kasich Reverses, Allows Broadcast of Budget Announcement The Kasich administration has reversed itself and now will allow reporters to broadcast sound and images from the Tuesday release of Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s budget plan. Reporters were been told they would not be allowed to broadcast sound and images from the Tuesday release of Gov. John Kasich’s budget plan. Journalists were told they could bring only pens, notepads and tape recorders to the afternoon briefing, where Kasich is to announce the first details of his state spending blueprint for the next two years. WOSU and members of the Statehouse press corps registered complaints with the governor’s office on the matter. They noted a lack of precedent for such limits on their ability to cover a governor’s budget release. Monday afternoon Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols told The Ohio Legislative Correspondents Association that cameras and radio recorders will be allowed at the briefing. An invitation-only town hall meeting later Tuesday will be broadcast on government television. http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wosu/news.newsmain/article/0/1/1775245/WOSU.News/Kasich.Reverses..Allows.Broadcast.of.Budget.Announcement IMHO — he is still an asshole and NOT the individual I sent to DC as my Congressional Representative. Seriously, something happened to this guy and he sold his soul to the devil. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 14, 2011 @ 4:37 pm @kes… Are you surprised? I’m not. Oh, and of course this comes from the Right-leaning Columbus Dispatch Kasich restricts media coverage of budget announcement Reporters have been told they will not be allowed to broadcast sound and images from the Tuesday release of Gov. John Kasich’s budget plan. Spokeswoman Connie Wehrkamp says journalists can bring only pens, notepads and tape recorders to the afternoon briefing, where Kasich is to announce the first details of his state spending blueprint for the next two years. She says videos and photos will be prohibited and the audio may not be used for anything but checking accuracy. Members of the Statehouse press corps registered complaints with the governor’s office on the matter. They noted a lack of precedent for such limits on their ability to cover a governor’s budget release. An invitation-only town hall meeting later Tuesday will be broadcast on government television.

I have 3 cats and 4 litter boxes!! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 13, 2011 @ 4:55 pm Well, it looks like Ohio is next on the Republican slash and burn list. ***Note*** When John Kasich was with Lehman Brothers, he sold junk crap to the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) and other public pension plans. Then when Wall Street tanked, thousands of Ohioans pretty much lost everything, yet John Boy laughed all the way to the bank. http://rethinkecon.org/2011/03/07/john-kasich-and-the-temple-of-state-pension-funds/ http://motherjones.com/mojo/2010/04/john-kasich-and-lehman Kasich budget will include cuts, cuts, more cuts The salad days are over. Ohio is in the poorhouse. There is a projected $8 billion hole in the next two-year state budget, and Kasich won’t fill it with tax increases. He will cut, cut and then cut some more. Services will be consolidated and privatized. Some user fees probably will be raised. Mandates will be lifted. “This is going to be a budget that is easy to hate,” said state Rep. Ron Amstutz, R-Wooster, chairman of the House Finance Committee. “But the problem is, we have to govern.” Far more than previous state budgets, Kasich’s will include significant policy changes with the usual taxing and spending decisions. “I can promise you the budget will be reform-oriented,” Kasich said on Thursday. Details have been hard to come by; Kasich’s staff has reduced the usual gusher of budget leaks to droplets. There were reports last week that Kasich may lease the Ohio Turnpike, privatize the Ohio Lottery and sell five prisons to private entities. One source told The Dispatch that three prisons could be sold and operated privately.

Left Coaster friends, when was the last time you were on Tsunami alert? Stay safe!!! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 11, 2011 @ 8:41 am So, for whatever reason, I’m annoyed and appalled that NPR/PBS continue to suck up to those they believe more credible than us regular people. So…with the PBS Newshour in my ear, I am beyond pissed off “they” are facing extreme cuts in funding from the GOP House, yet continue to have “semi-annual pledge drives” for my dollars and yours. Sorryee, can’t have it both ways. Just sent this to NPR/PBS: I am so tired of the sound of Mitch McConnell’s voice, just hearing him makes me want to throw up. Mr. McConnell, Mr. Boehner, and Mr. Cantor perceive PBS as a threat. Gee, I wonder why? The PBS/NPR organizations make every attempt to present both sides of a story – unbiased – fair. However, if PBS/NPR would look deeper – to the motivation behind – the efforts of McConnell, Boehner, and Cantor to silence you, you just might find the influence of the Koch brothers. Go figure, the Koch Foundation; what a joke. The Kochs do not want anything, other than their philanthropy, to fly above the radar. The Kochs are, and have been, playing both sides against the middle. Most of us in the “middle” class have figured it out – when will you do the same? The Koch brother’s and Koch Foundation money is not only dirty money, but hypocritical money as well. If PBS and NPR do not do something to address this hypocrisy, then I will refuse to contribute to any and all future pledge drives. Moreover, I will encourage family, friends, and colleagues, to do the same. Please do not sell your credibility for the money. Should NPR and PBS refuse the likes of the Koch brothers, both organizations would find more support than either could ever imagine. All you need to do is stand up for and represent your mission statement. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 8, 2011 @ 4:55 pm Okay, I got it. Now, let’s start those Intertube rumors. Redirect the energy of the Lohan ambulance/rehab chasers to the billionaire Koch and a possible coke habit. ps…trust your observations…seriously. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 7, 2011 @ 3:33 pm Well fer sure…why? Because real journalism died with Walter, Chet, David, Frank, and Peter. However, there is still hope for NPR and PBS; both organizations need to realize they can survive without the likes of the Koch Foundation and the two-faced, hypocritical Koch brothers. BTW bito — so relieved to “see” you!! Puhleese stop messin’ with my blood pressure; the doc refuses to increase the meds. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 7, 2011 @ 3:22 pm Okay, I give up. How can you tell and what do you see that I don’t? ***EDIT*** Oh, other than Scott lost the gray. Is Grecian Formula a Koch product? 😉 » Posted By boomer1949 On March 7, 2011 @ 3:08 pm Little did he know, eh?

Something tells me a Federal Law, or Laws, is being broken and Mr. Judge is flying under the radar. Seriously, what can I do to help? AdLib has my thumbs up to give you my email address… » Posted By boomer1949 On March 6, 2011 @ 3:17 pm Good for them!!! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 6, 2011 @ 3:07 pm Abby, Many people never developed a conscience. Unfortunately, it appears “she” falls into this category; I would also venture to say (which you already know, I’m sure), “she” is vindictive and has used her position to put the screws to Dad. Why? Because she can and the court has allowed it to happen. Look at the SCOTUS, specifically Thomas and Alito, and the fine example they’ve displayed. Is there a new attorney? What about a change of venue because “she” has used her position to manipulate the legal process? » Posted By boomer1949 On March 6, 2011 @ 1:39 pm @bito, Here for you — what can I do sweetie — what can I(WE) do to reach out, lend a hand? Don’t fall prey to self-sacrifice, martyrdom, and/or stubbornness. Personally? I’m no Saint. However, I KNOW good people when I “meet” them. You, my friend, are GOOD people. Whatever I can do, please don’t hesitate to ask the “Fearless Leader Guy” to contact me. I, and the majority of us, am less than an email away. » Posted By boomer1949 On March 5, 2011 @ 2:46 pm {{{waves to bito}}}!!! Honest to goodness, it’s beyond excellent to “see” you. This old heart can only stand so much pressure my dear. Seriously, quit messin’ with my mind and blood pressure. The doc refuses to increase my meds. Jeeze! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 5, 2011 @ 1:08 pm Abby, Maybe we need to demand they suck it up, make the sacrifice, and refuse to pay anything above minimum wage. None of them could last 30 days — even if that long. Personally, I’ll be the first in line to cut off Crispy Critter’s tanning bed membership. Of course, if he has some sort of deal with P&G for “a glowing tan” via skin conditioner, then we might have a problem. However, I’m only a couple of hours from Cincinnati, and would be more than happy to make the trip for a “serious discussion” with those who think JB is a true representation of their clientele. Heh! » Posted By boomer1949 On March 5, 2011 @ 12:56 pm As the Mom of a dedicated, hard-working, care-about-her-kids-OHIO-Kindergarten-Teacher-Daughter…Stewart and The Daily Show put MSM to shame.

Same story, different state, yet the RW GOP message is the same. ***Double EDIT***Thank you soooo much again AdLib, this is beyond amazing, and I sent it to the teacher-daughter.

Gov. John Kasich’s first budget will roil the Ohio landscape on Tuesday, especially the public, nonprofit and private entities that count on the state’s largesse.
