Yeah, but when he loses, he’s coming back here.

Knowing Kasich as I do (I’m a reporter in Ohio), I think he knows all about it and doesn’t want to say a word.

Lucky.

I know someone who I think is pretty normal and rational. But she’s been married for nearly 20 years and has never taken her wedding ring off. NEVER. Not when she was pregnant, when painting or doing other dirty jobs, NEVER. She says she’ll never take it off because her husband put it on her finger and that’s where it…

Am I horrible because I had a passing thought that this scam could have been done by the parents to get a second game system for free and lots of attention? (I don’t have one so I have no idea - maybe not.)

Here in Ohio, where 10 bills banning or restricting abortion in some way have been proposed in the last year, a bill was proposed two years ago that would have banned minors from indoor tanning. But the same Republican lawmakers who want to limit abortion as far as possible watered down the ban to a law that requires…

My mother is the biggest Star Wars fan ever. We went to all the movies, and she’s a huge collector of memorabilia. It’s damn near embarassing. My dad had no interest and bitches about all the Star Wars crap in their house.

A purple mic. That’s the kind of attention to detail I watch Fox News for.

This is all part of the work of the most effective lobbying group in Ohio - Ohio Right to Life. And they get a lot of their power from the man who claims to be a moderate in the GOP presidential field, Gov. John Kasich.

FYI - the marketing geniuses who came up with that got $2 million for it.

I have a liberal but still very hardcore Christian friend who is lecturing all her very conservative Christian friends on Facebook about how this is exactly the opposite of what Jesus said to do - and throwing Bible verses at them to prove it. The panicked hypocrisy and overt racism it’s uncovering is epic. It’s…

A bill to ban discrimination against LGBT Ohioans has been proposed a FIFTH time in the state legislature. And I hate to tell you - but I’m sure you know - it has possibly less of a chance of passing this time than in previous years, because the state legislature is more conservative than at almost any time in state…

One-income living isn’t for everyone, because it’s just not fair in some circumstances. In my house, it would have been not whether we could live on one income (we do - we’ve been saving almost our entire second income so we can retire early). It would be - who gets to give up a challenging, rewarding career? Because…

Yep. My (only) child’s daycare probably cost more than his college tuition will. AND we had to keep paying for a half-day of daycare when he was in kindergarten, because our idiotic district didn’t see the necessity to offer full-day K. It’s insane.

I took my kid out at Christmastime last year to our favorite diner, and left the server a huge tip - more than 100% on a small tab, since it was just me and a kid for lunch. It didn’t feel like much to me, but it obviously did something for the server, because he hugged me. I want to do the $100+ tip on a tiny bill…

We have 28 days of early voting - by mail and in person on weekdays and the weekend before the election. And the state sends out absentee ballot applications to ALL registered voters for presidential and gubernatorial elections. FOR NOW. Republicans are gradually chipping away at early voting because they’re terrified…

I honestly think Kasich doesn’t realize these comments are offensive. He’s talked about his hot wife and that she’s at home doing the laundry. He’s imitated a Parkinson’s patient in a major speech. And he called a cop an “idiot” in a speech about being a good public servant. He knows people think he’s a jerk, and he…

No - this is just how he is. I’m in Ohio and am very familiar with his work. He often makes comments like this, and just as often seems to have no idea why they’re offensive. I think it’s because he’s always surrounded himself with people who think anyone who would be offended is just overly sensitive.

It took us a long time of trying before we had our kid. A particularly nosy and gross family friend inquired of us at the rehearsal dinner before his daughter’s wedding why we hadn’t gotten pregnant yet - “You just need to have sex more. Surely you’ve practiced enough that you know how to do it, right?” OH GOD MAKE IT…

Breastfeeding questions/comments from people you hardly know are also awesome and totally appropriate.
