Just asking....

* Thank you, Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15) for voting for health care reform to help her constituents.

Why are Republicans against health care?


* The Discovery Channel has hired Caribou Barbie for a TV show. If you'd like to lodge a complaint, see the Discovery Channel contact page: http://dsc.discovery.com/utilities/about/viewer-relations.html Rumor has it that she will be paid
$1 million/episode. I find that obscene for a person who has promoted killing animals from airplanes.


* Central Ohioans are hoping that Steve Stivers will obey more traffic laws as he drives through various counties in the state. To quote Bill O'Reilly, "I'm just saying." Exactly how many points does one need to lose a driver's license?


* What was the conflict of interest that forced John Kasich to leave Borland?

You must check out the website aboutlawsuits.com to read about a class action suit filed against Lehman Brothers, Kasich's employer (BE SURE TO READ THE COMMENT SECTION!):

A Lehman Brothers class action suit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Lehman Preferred Series “J” stock shares issued between February 5, 2008 and September 15, 2008.

The lawsuit was filed against several Lehman executives, as well as firms that underwrote the offering, claiming that false and misleading statements were made about the financial strength of the investment bank.

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, causing substantial losses for investors. The collapse began in 2007 when the mortgage market crisis unfolded, as Lehman was heavily invested in subprime mortgages......


Would this involve Kasich? What about the other lawsuit mentioned in Forbes? Were there any other lawsuits filed against Lehman Brothers that involve Kasich?
