You'd think we would've stopped being surprised by the sociopathic mindset of the teabag-waving element of the GOP, but every so often somebody like Ohio's John Kasich reminds us how much lower it's possible to sink.
I live near downtown Cincinnati, and as you've know doubt seen on the news, our region was devastated by a severe tornado outbreak yesterday afternoon. Cincinnati itself was spared the brunt of the storm, but neighboring counties in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio were particularly hard-hit. The storms were so strong that tornadoes a hundred miles away in Indiana were causing leaves and small debris to drift down from the clouds here in Cincinnati. As of this writing, the death toll from the disaster is has surpassed 36 people.
