Today’s bit of nonsense comes to us from the dark, paranoid corners of Kevin’s “brain”. (Kev likes putting quotes around words inappropriately. Here, it fits.) Let’s take a look at the accusations he’s throwing out at President Obama in his 1,896th column slamming the Prez and health care reform.

Who can forget Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, in a tone fairly dripping with incredulity and impatience, asking a reporter: "Are you serious? Are you serious?"
I don’t know. Someone who’s anal retentive with a paranoid personality – like Kevin?
The question she found so outlandish in 2009, as congressional Democrats were calculating how best to ram through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act…
That’s right. Sixty votes in the Senate and a majority in the House voting “yea” is ramming.
…was this: "Madam Speaker, where, specifically, does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?"
The question put her in a tough position: She could tell the truth -- that the Constitution does not grant Congress such authority.
Kevin could tell the truth, but that would probably cause his death by choking. Check the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution.
She could tell the whole truth -- that the Constitution does not grant Congress such authority, but Congress was going to do it anyway.
Oh, if only Kevin could read and understand the Constitution! Maybe if we got him a Classics Comics Illustrated version.

A week before Issue 2 got clobbered at the polls…
“Clobbered” should tell Kevin something about how the real working people in Ohio feel. But I doubt it will.
…Ohio Tea Party activists and the libertarian 1851 Center for Constitutional Law announced that they were laying the groundwork for a constitutional amendment to make Ohio a right-to-work state.
There’s an axis of evil if I ever saw one. Clowns in funny hats without a clue and a libertarian think tank. Libertarian and think tank are oxymorons. The Tea Party is just plain morons.
The announcement wasn't trumpeted amid euphoric expectation that Ohioans would pass Issue 2, thereby affirming a perfectly sensible law to curb the power of public employee unions.
Oh, so a perfectly sensible law is one that curbs the power of one group of people, namely our working-class citizens. If so, why isn’t Kevin looking for a Constitutional amendment to sensibly curb the power of big money in politics? Oh, that’s right. Kevin believes that rich people should have more rights than poor people. You know, like in third-world countries and dictatorships.
Rather, it came amid a growing certainty that Issue 2 would be defeated.
That’s right. You see, for Kevin and the Right and his Tea Bagger buddies, if you can’t fuck the poor and middle class up the ass, then you should start looking for even worse ways to fuck them. They have a whole Kama Sutra filled with ideas for screwing you out of your rights.

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has embarked on a "dramatic updating" of child labor regulations that springs from "a commitment to bring parity between the rules for agricultural employment and the more stringent rules that apply to the employment of children in nonagricultural workplaces."
Let’s see. Last week Kevin didn’t care if kids got killed because people are texting while driving, but now he’s annoying us with another whine about the evils of child labor laws. What did you get your kids for Christmas when they were in diapers, Kev? Chainsaws?
In other words, a deep yearning to bureaucratically enforce parity between workplaces where little natural parity exists.
In other words, Kevin is about to tell us how government is taking away our children’s freedom to lose limbs. But later I’ll explain how Kevin is pulling his usual lying by omission strategy.
"Children employed in agriculture are some of the most vulnerable workers in America," Solis intones in a Labor Department press release. "The fatality rate for young agricultural workers is four times greater than that of their peers employed in nonagricultural workplaces."
A sobering statistic like that would make any rational person look into agricultural labor practices.
They're a lot less vulnerable than children who have to walk through a bad neighborhood after their shift at McDonald's, but those kids are off the clock, so they're not Labor's problem.
But obviously Kevin’s not sober or rational enough to keep himself from making light of children getting killed – whether on farms or in unsafe neighborhoods.

The case for human-caused global warming is melting at a rate that will surpass 2 million devastating emails by the beginning of the next decade.
The evidence is overwhelming.
If there’s one thing Kevin knows less about than government, it’s science. And I’m being generous saying only one thing.
Think about it:
Why? You never do, Kev.
In 2009, some anonymous hacker put before the world 1,000 emails purloined from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit. Let's just say they did nothing to improve the credibility of "scientists" leading the charge for radical government policies to combat "human-caused climate change."
Hey, look! Quotes around scientists! So, Kev, you don’t believe those emails are from scientists? If not, then it shouldn’t matter to you what’s in the emails. Then again, did you check on each person to see who they are? Read the emails? See a doctor about whether your delusions are organic or the result of head trauma?
Now, just as climate-change pushers and their government-supremacist enablers…
Government-supremacist enablers? What the fuck? Oh, his rant isn’t about science. It’s about government! Ah, how refreshing! Perhaps Kev thinks climate change is the result of government regulations!

(Short blog entry today. Mister G.)
Last week, I asked you to imagine what might happen if state Issue 2 passed and Ohio taxpayers reasserted control over the people they employ to do state and local government work.
Okay, let’s stop right here. On the online version of Kevin’s Kolumn, there’s a list of “previous columns on Issue 2 / Senate Bill 5”. That list includes April 7, April 28, August 11 (my sister’s birthday, you bastard!), August 18, September 8, October 20, October 27, and now today’s big pile of shit. That’s eight columns just on this one GOP cluster-fuck this year alone, after which almost everyone in Cleveland and my blog have tried to correct his lies.
Kev, I can’t keep repeating myself. So instead of going line-by-line this week, I’ll just leave in some of his main points – at least the ones he hasn’t repeated a hundred times – and give you/him the facts.
Advice to union bosses: Don't get too caught up in celebration, because any victory will be short-lived. And not because Republicans in the General Assembly will get right to work on passing laws that codify the many things in Senate Bill 5 that are widely considered sensible. Whatever the legislature does now is actually the least of unions' worries…
Okay, Kev. What are those other worries? Because the way I see it, if SB 5 is roundly defeated, any GOP Assembly members who go right to work undermining the will of the people will either be recalled or voted out in the next election.
Advice to GOP legislators: Tighten up those sphincters, because an angry electorate is going to start fucking you back.

…the chance for Ohioans to uphold a new state law that puts taxpayers and their elected representatives back in control of staffing and compensation decisions regarding the public's employees…

Less than three weeks to go, Ohio.
I was hoping Kevin meant until he retires, but once again my hopes were dashed upon the rocky shores of journalistic incompetence.
Issue 2
After a long spring and summer spent fighting over who should control local governments, Ohioans will have a result.
Senate Bill 5, now on the ballot as Issue 2, gives Ohio taxpayers the opportunity to re-establish control over local government spending.
No it doesn’t. It tramples on the rights of public employees, with a secondary purpose of depressing everyone’s wages even more than they are already. Who’s behind SB 5? Businesses and Gov. Kasich, who needs our money to reward other businesses with big contracts that will pay them more than what we currently spend using public employees.
It sets right the relationship between the people and their employees, after 28 years of unions having an unwarranted upper hand…
No it doesn’t. That argument is the same one used at the beginning of the labor movement a century or so ago: “If people unionize, they’ll bankrupt businesses!”

What the fuck? Are you talking about this country? The place where the term “robber baron” was invented? The nation where it took the Great Depression to awaken to unbridled capitalism and finally pass some regulations?
The problem is government's perversion of capitalism.
What the fuck, fuck? Without a level playing field, promoted and enforced by government, we wouldn’t have capitalism. We’d have a feudal system, which is where we’re going if the Conservatives have their way.
The problem isn't that Congress is in Wall Street's pocket.
Then why does every Republican congressperson have to spend three hours a day picking Wall Street’s lint out of each others hair?

Arguing religion is always a dicey affair -- especially when it's a state-sponsored religion.
Oh, come on, Kevin! A lot of your arguments have been dicey. Um, by dicey you mean totally stupid, right?
But give Republican state Rep. Kris Jordan credit for both courage and common sense as he takes on the Church of Environmentalism and the commandments it enacted into Ohio law during the administration of Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland.
My personal favorite is the Fifth Commandment: Thou shalt not dumpeth shit that can kill you into the environment and water supply. But Kevin encourages such sinful behavior.
The commandments are more formally known as the state's renewable portfolio standards, and they passed the Ohio General Assembly almost unanimously in 2008 as part of a gargantuan bill to settle just how regulated energy utilities should be.
Almost unanimously. Sounds rather bipartisan to me. Oops! I said something considered a dirty word by Kevin and his Tea Bagger friends. Read More...
