More Sports Cliches

  • Whistleblower Senior Spoiled Sports Editor Andy FurBall says today is one of the biggest days ever for local basketball fans, what with six Tri-State teams making it to the Sweet 16 of the 2012 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament— UC, Xavier, Ohio State, Ohio University, Louisville, and Kentucky. Now let’s see how make it to the Elite Eight.

March Madness showcases the best of college sports. Unfortunately, this year’s installment of the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament also highlights the worst in wasteful government spending, according to the Taxpayers Protection Alliance. The $2.7 billion price tag associated with the arenas used during the NCAA tournament may give March Madness a maddening new meaning for over-taxed payers, whose March Madness Brackets look something like this.

  • In Washington, our DC Newsbreaker Obama Supporters in the Press are all wondering how our Bracketologist–In-Chief (make that Baracketologist) is doing with his predictions. Obama now ranks in the 98th percentile in ESPN’s “Tournament Challenge,” with 460 out of a possible 640 points. That’s good for a rank of No. 131,052 out of the millions submitted on the network’s website.
  • In Columbus, Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says it was just as The Blower predicted: the struggle for the soul of the Ohio RINO Party may be coming to a head soon. This week we saw brackets for the State Party Shootout, when GOP Chairmen from Ohio’s seven largest counties signed a letter to overthrow Ohio RINO Boss Kevin DeWhine, it’ll add up to 51% of the vote. The big problem after the 2010 Elections was (as we attempted to point out on numerous occasions), that at the time, our Tea Partiers and Social Conservatives just didn’t have enough votes.

Locally, Hamilton County RINO Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop GOP finally put down his electronic toys and waded into a political issue when joined he joined the other big-county chairmen.  Perhaps next month, after the Reds are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, he will actually finally criticize a DemocRAT!

When Chairman DeWine’s resignation was requested over a year ago he declined. Kasich did not press the issue.

And during the past year, DeWhine has been ruining any good will he acquired when he took over in a very good year for Republicans, 2010.

Following the 2010 success, he fired the complete staff of the Ohio Republican Party and brought in new people, from around the country, who had a business relationship with the Householder/ Schmidt/ Husted/ DeWhine consultant. It was the same group that replaced Ohio’s 1990s reputation as a place to do business with a place of high taxes, law suits, and corruption.

The two teams will expose themselves over the next few weeks. The bloggers who have been on the payroll of the Schmidt/ Che$ley/ Householder consultant will not be supportive of change to a less-RINO more-conservative State Party. A new state chairman will be good for our state, but injurious to their gravy train.

John Kasich tried to work quietly with that crowd, feeling that he had bigger fish to fry.  He has since found that rather than being supportive of the Ohio turnaround, the DeWine/ Husted alliance was consistently hostile.

The primary election this month, with the help of the TEA party, clearly revealed that it is time for openness, honesty, lower taxes, and more jobs.

The new Republican State Committee will force the change.


       The Cincinnati City Mess

  • When we think the continual mismanagement, malfeasance, and scandals created  by Cincinnati mayor Mark Mallory and his Kentucky butt boy Dough Boy Honey can’t sink to any lower depths, they manage to indeed sink even further.

Recently we saw blatant racism in their selection of the useless black police chief, Detroit fob James Craig, who can’t pass the state police qualifying exam because his is too dumb.  As a result, Craig has no police powers, can’t make an arrest and cannot enforce the law he swore to enforce.  And yet the useless guy is still police chief and the police department continues in its poor morale and corruption under his lack of leadership while he stays at home watching TV all day, talking about his sore testicle.

In the last month we saw the giveaway of a million dollars in city money to the Mayor’s cousin, black deadbeat Liz Rogers to open a soul food restaurant in the Banks area even though qualified people who aren’t tax dodgers or deadbeats had applied.

Now we have the corrupt and racist choice of black drifter Odis Jones, a former football player who can’t even spell his first name correctly. Jones has bounced around from one public feeding trough job to another.  He is now the highly paid Cincinnati economic development director. 

Four months ago, Jones applied to be city manager of Venice, Florida and was turned down flat because of his lack of ability of any kind. Just before that, he applied to be city manager of Lowell, Massachusetts and was quickly eliminated  by that city. Shortly before that, it was Huntington, West Virginia, which gave him the bum’s rush. And before that, it was Toledo, Ohio, which rejected him. Those cities were smart in shunning him.  Then he came across the criminal Cincinnati duo of Mallory and Dough Boy Honey and those two created a fat job for him as city economic development director. After job refusal after refusal, he finally scored big here.

Who are the losers? The people of Cincinnati.

  • Meanwhile at the Failed Cincinnati Public Schools, the forever gracious BOREDOM OF EDUCATION is allowing Mary Ronan to retire and come right back as the Superintendent reincarnated as former Superintendent Delhi Mike. This will put her at a salary around a quarter of a million dollars. The Blower wonders if the same opportunity will be given to all of the administrators and teachers she plans to bury.

When announced that 100 teaching positions potentially could be eliminated, failed CFT “president” Julie Murbarak SellYourSoul immediately rushed to the boat dock to watch her plane take off.  The teachers cheered her good riddance bon voyage. A cyclical pattern here: SellYourSoul told all the teachers to go to hell and enjoy the trip and Ronan opened up yet another checking account.

And now that FCPS school superintendent is officially the highest paid school superintendent ever to grace the cathedral of learning, teachers want to know where the union president is after she sold them out a year ago?  Well, then again, Julie Sellers presence adds no value to the educational process so her absence will not make a difference.  As Julie Sellers continues to incessantly bash Republicans, the 44 members (out of over 2,500) that actually showed up for the union meeting are beginning to think that Mrs. Sellers is John Kasich’s bitch.

    • In a related item, we saw this letter to the editor about The Rotary Club of Cincinnati’s award to Cincinnati Bell’s Jack Cassidy and former Taft High School’s former principal Anthony Smith helps to explain the deafening silence by our Feckless Fishwrappers regarding recent allegations of cheating at Taft High School.

  • Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Beer and Wine Revenue Act, setting the stage for repeal prohibition when states passed the 21st Amendment. No wonder FDR got re-elected so many times. Award Winning Photo Illustrator Artis Conception remembers to celebrate that occasion a couple of years ago, Cincinnati symphony conductor Paavo Jarvi was arrested after he passed out dead drunk on Columbia Parkway with his car still running.
  • Speaking of important things that happened today, we just got an e-mail from Vivacious Vicky Zwissler, Council-gal in Wyoming (the City not the State), reminding us that today is her birthday. Curiously, although our Virtual Redhead is still pretty much of a babe, her e-mail forgot to include her age.  

No wonder our Quote for Today Committee chose Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane’s, “Women improve with age. The older I get, the more I like them.”

  • Over-Taxed Payers of Anderson Township saved a lot of money on salt this year because of the mild weather during the winter. “We have a big pile of it left,” explained Trustee “In Russ We Trust” Jackson, and any time The Whistleblower would like to use a little to rub into Kevin O’Brien’s wounds, we could use as much as we’d like.
  • Anderson Tea Partier Suezilla Hardenbergh is arranging carpools for Patriots who want to attend Friday’s “Stand Up for Religious Freedom.” Rally at St. Peter and Chains Cathedral. The event is BYOB (Bring Your Own Beads).
  •  Also in Anderson, Wednesday night on Anderson Community Television’s Channel 18, CFK-TV presented Political Science Theater 2012 at 10:30 PM, and Miss Vicki’s award winning interview of Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane on ICRC at 11:00 PM.
  • Finally, in yesterday’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders asked Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane if he’d heard any more about those DemocRAT Opposition Researchers in town looking through old yearbooks at UC to see what kind of damaging information they could uncover about other  local Conservatives to use in this year’s elections.

“I don’t think they were looking to see if I was pledging the fraternity in 1956 that got kicked off campus for having a 15-year-old housemother,” Kane explained. “I’m sure these mudslingers were in town digging up dirt on Republican candidates, or why else would they have called us all those times?”


Bluegrass Brackets

  • Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo with only 61 more days until the big May 22 primary election to find a replacement for Goof Doofus’ seat in Congress, things would be a lot more interesting if they came up with brackets for all those candidates (like Thomas Massie, Judge Once Moore, Brian D. Oerther, Alecia Webb-Edgington, Tom Wurtz, Marcus Carey, and Walter C. Schumm) running for the job.

Right now we’re working on rankings, and we’ll see which candidate gets the first round bye.

  • And Ken CamBoo says his snitches are all officially on double secret probation after their utter failure to report on Will “The Thrill” Terwort’s alleged slugfest with his father over the weekend!  Even with this unacceptable tardiness, The Blower still has the story long before those six people who still subscribe to The Fishwrap will read about it!

Rumor has it Wee Willie even showed up to Ft. Mitchell City Council’s meeting with a split lip and hints of a black eye!  Apparently the Thriller got the worst of it after tangling with his elderly old man.  We wonder how well Will explains his battle wounds while going door-to-door in his doomed campaign for Jack Deadwood’s Senate seat!?!  Normally Bluegrass voters like their legislators to take a stand against elder abuse, not inflict it!
