Last week, the campaign to recall Republican Governor Rick Snyder in Michigan, Fire Rick Snyder, passed 50% of the 806,522 signatures required to trigger a new election. In retrospect, maybe Snyder's latest "jobs plan" should have involved more than kicking 30,000 children off of food assistance. Panicked by Snyder's unpopularity, Michigan Republicans are making robocalls claiming the recall petitions are a form of identity theft. While that's pretty bad, just imagine their hysteria when we gather 100% of the signatures required to force a recall election.

Representative Eric Cantor skipped an invitation from Republican Governor Bob McDonnell to tour hurricane damage to Cantor's own 7th District. Instead, McDonnell was accompanied by two other Virginia Representatives, Democrat Bobby Scott and Republican Rob Wittman. Bon Air, the neighborhood mentioned in Governor McDonnell tweet, is in Cantor's district, some where was Cantor? Eric Cantor has vowed to block hurricane relief funds from his own constituents unless funds are cut somewhere else, a position that is seen by most as exceptionally mean and vicious even for Eric Cantor. How ridiculous. Why would Mr. Cantor go on a hurricane tour of his district and be forced to answer unpleasant questions re. his position on disaster relief? Besides.............he's already told them........eat cake!
