Shake It for a Do Over!

Okay, I know you all played with Etch A Sketches when you were kids. I loved Etch A Sketch. Kids today would scoff. They all have I-pads and such. But now the awesomeness of the Ohio Art product has been knocked down by the former one term Governor of the great state of Massachusetts. Well, people are actually buying them this week, but I'd think again about doing that.

As if it isn't bad enough to think of his campaign manager wiping the slate clean after the primary season by just shaking the screen...Hey, let's start fresh! No flip flops allowed! But THIS is just too juicy. We can't make this stuff up.

For 40 years the Etch a Sketch was produced in Bryan Ohio by the Ohio Art Company. But in 2003 production was moved to China – putting 100 employees out of work in this small town of about 8,000 who had for decades billed itself as the home of the Etch a Sketch.

But WAIT, there's MORE!

There is no evidence Romney’s work at Bain Capital impacted the decisions at the Ohio Art Company, but as Bill Sloat reports, Bain Capital, the buy-out firm founded by Mitt Romney, has sent hundreds of other Ohio jobs to China in similar moves.

Now, it's all just appearances...but you gotta admit...it's quite an amusing coinkydink!
