We would have to get D-Ray a gift basket. I'll donate a good bottle of California vino.

I could send him some Chesapeake Bay blue crabs, but that landlubber wouldn't know what to do with them.

Just send a tin of Old Bay Seasoning along. IIRC there's a recipe on the can.

Kansas is just loony under Brownback.
Kobach the Kansas Sec. Of State is on the Roberts election team I heard and if so, it's a conflict. Yet he is the one ordering a replacement candidate. Just to piss him off I would pick someone out of state.

Yeah, maybe one of Roberts' neighbors.

In Ohio the GOP economic policy seems to be successful.

Oh and the Dem challenger to the Governor just had the police union yank their endorsement. Not that it mattered anyway.

Well he drove for a year on a suspended license or something. The cops have to look like they care about something like that....

Apparently no one who was actually a viable candidate wanted the loss to Kasich on their resume.

GOP disdain for the unemployed

"Those Lazy Jobless" NYTimes
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/22/op...less.html?_r=0

"Last week John Boehner, the speaker of the House, explained to an audience at the American Enterprise Institute what’s holding back employment in America: laziness. People, he said, have “this idea” that “I really don’t have to work. I don’t really want to do this. I think I’d rather just sit around.” Holy 47 percent, Batman!"

"It’s hardly the first time a prominent conservative has said something along these lines. Ever since a financial crisis plunged us into recession it has been a nonstop refrain on the right that the unemployed aren’t trying hard enough, that they are taking it easy thanks to generous unemployment benefits, which are constantly characterized as “paying people not to work.” And the urge to blame the victims of a depressed economy has proved impervious to logic and evidence."

"But it’s still amazing — and revealing — to hear this line being repeated now. For the blame-the-victim crowd has gotten everything it wanted: Benefits, especially for the long-term unemployed, have been slashed or eliminated. So now we have rants against the bums on welfare when they aren’t bums — they never were — and there’s no welfare. Why?"...
