Yesterday, Ohio Republicans announced that because their party is so obviously possessed of superior intelligence, warm-heartedness, and farts that smell like Chanel No. 5, they'll henceforth be using a new logo (shown at right) which they feel captures their approach to governance.
Also happening yesterday:
The state legislature rammed through HB 319 -- the GOP-drawn, GOP-skewed new map of congressional districts that guarantees a solid Republican majority for at least a decade. The R's even threw some money into the bill, so that it's effective immediately, with no referendum possibility. When reporters asked if this was perhaps a bit heavy-handed, party officials referred them to the new logo.
Janine Migden-Ostrander, head of the Ohio Consumers Council, resigned in disgust. The Kasich administration, she said, has shown "profound disinterest and disrespect [for the public], blatant disregard for facts, and abandonment of simple fairness. I don't want to get on his bus because I don't like where it's going." When asked for his reaction, Gov. Kasich said, "You people need to see our new logo."
State Treasurer Josh Mandel (R) is running for U.S. Senator, trying to unseat Sherrod Brown (D). Yesterday Mandel acknowledged he's more than four months late in filing certain required financial disclosures because he's still trying to calculate just exactly how filthy rich his wife and her family really are. When asked when his disclosures might finally be ready, Mandel said, "Check the new logo."
