Epic Fail

Image
     Pennsylvania state Rep. Mario Scavello was so very proud of the job he did by helping his state pass a voter ID law that he said he would take anyone who needed to get an ID a ride to the DMV to get one. He wanted to show his electorate how easy the new ID could be obtained. Alice Carlson took him up on it. Alice is 105 years old and first voted in the 1932 election but now the state said she had to have proof of her eligibility to vote.     The first Epic Fail in this blog was put on display by state Rep. Mike Turzai. Maybe it wasn't so much as a Fail but an oops moment. Notice Mike didn't say the voter ID law was going to prevent the vast voter fraud in his state, he couldn't because there is none. Pennsylvania has admitted in court that there are no current or past investigations of in-person voter fraud in their state and they know of no other investigations or prosecutions in any other state. In fact since 2000 there have been 9...

Thanks, but No Thanks John

    Our Governor loves to tout HIS job creation in Ohio, but some, no a lot, of HIS jobs can be traced back to central Ohio and the policies our local government put in place well before he became Governor. Make no mistake our state unemployment has fallen during his tenure but so has the nation and two of our border states, Indiana and Michigan, have done even better.     Our current state unemployment stands at 4.9%, not too shabby and it mirrors the national rate, but at the county level the numbers seem a bit skewed. There are 88 counties in Ohio but only 19 are below that 4.9% threshold. Some basic math would say there's no way you can have 69 counties out of 88 over the average to arrive at that number. To make it even more interesting there are 5 counties with over 10% unemployment and 35 of our 88 counties have an unemployment rate over 7%. It sure helps even the numbers when the county with the largest work force stands at 4.4% with job creation so str...

Disgusting

    I got a little "hope your happy now" message today regarding Kim Davis the county clerk found in contempt of court and placed in jail. No, I'm not happy. I don't want to see this women jailed, I want to see her do her job, and besides, even with her jailed there were no licenses issued today.     Not once, but twice this woman has placed her hand the bible, and knowing this woman it was probably her family bible, and swore to uphold the constitution of the United States. If you're not able to do this, walk away. This country is not a theocracy and Rowan county is not your little kingdom. (It was brought out in court today that the other clerks have no problem issuing licenses but were in fear of their jobs if they crossed Kim)     Theocracy according to Websters is defined as "government of a state by divine guidance  or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided". We as a country have sent our loved ones to fight, and die, b...
