"Now serving #17..."

Ohio Gov. John Kasich will jump into the crowded Republican presidential field on July 21 at the student union at his alma mater, The Ohio State University, in Columbus...

Kasich, 63, who was overwhelmingly reelected in November, will aim to appear less scripted and guarded than the leading candidates. Advisers say he combines establishment appeal with a conservative record going back to his stint as House Budget Committee chairman, during his 18 years as a congressman from Ohio.

A car is way too small for all of them. Besides, not all of them are clowns. I mean, clowns are funny and entertaining. They make you smile and laugh. You can see the difference, right?

It called itself the "eater of worlds, and of children":

“I am eternal, child. I am the eater of worlds, and of children. And you are next!”

That fits the destructive actions and words of the current crop of Republican political officeholders and candidates. The oligarchs they serve are devouring our world, and the way the global economy is set up is not much different from eating the world's children today, and doing so much irreversible damage that the future and the children it should belong to are also being devoured by the agents of unrestrained greed.
