Special “The Week That Was” E-dition

The Blower’s Week in Review

  • image006OUR NUMBER STORY THIS WEEK was when Obama’s State of Dis-Union speech audience plummeted by double digits and Republicans said his agenda was DOA, so Obama and The Mooch went on separate over-taxed payer funded vacations this weekend.
  • OUR NUMBER TWO STORY THIS WEEK was when the House overrode Obama and voted to freeze Federal pay for another year.
  • AND OUR NUMBER THREE STORY THIS WEEK was Obama’s Sequester tsunami is still scheduled to hit the Economy on March 1, so the House and Senate voted to recess for another week.

  • image010MONDAY in our Annual “Lincoln’s Birthday” E-dition, The Blower explained that you can fool some of the Republicans all of the time!

Hurley the Historian said tomorrow will be Lincoln’s real birthday, and to celebrate the occasion on that date in 1999, the U.S. Senate voted to acquit Pants-Dropper-in-Chief Bill Clinton on his impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.

And although not necessarily agreeing in the case of Bill Clinton, our Quote for Today Committee chose Lincoln’s “It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.”

In today’s Racial Healing Moment, Buckwheat Blackwell and Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane (finalists for the Ebony and Ivory Racial Healing Awards during Black History Month (now called Half-Black History Month in honor Obama), want to remind everybody that not only was Martin Luther King a Republican, but so was our birthday boy, you know— the guy who actually freed the slaves, you Affirmative Action ingrates!

image011But what’ll make this Tuesday all the more historic will be when Obama tries to fool all of the people one more time with his annual partisan State of Dis-Union Campaign Speech on Lincoln’s Birthday, so Obama Supporters in the Press can spin favorable comparisons for Obama and wonder aloud when Obama’s likeness will be added to Mount Rushmore.

Whistleblower Senior National Political Affairs Analyst Britt Humus predicts tomorrow night Obama will continue his narcissistic overexposure and as our $16.5 Trillion national debt continues to grow by billions of over-taxed payers dollars while Obama’s speaking to his divided America during the remainder of the 1,438 days of Obama’s Second Term. The Blower wonders just how much smaller this year’s audience will be.

  • image012TUESDAY in our Special “State of Disunion” E-dition,The Blower asked, if you remembered four years ago when Obama promised he’d unite us” and “Real E-Mails from Real Subscribers” included:

A sizable number of voters in Divided America plan to follow Obama’s State of Dis-Union speech on Lincoln’s Birthday tonight, but those same voters acknowledge that presidents generally don’t accomplish most of what they promise in their annual addresses to the nation. —Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen

Maybe that’s why we chose Dick Gregory’s, “Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten.” —Your Quote for Today Committee

At tonight’s State of Dis-Union Speech on Lincoln’s Birthday, we’ll be watching Obama’s State of Dis-Union Speech tonight to find out more about all that free stuff Obama promised during the campaign. —Dumbed-Down, Self-Absorbed, Media-Influenced, Celebrity-Obsessed, Politically-Correct, Uninformed, Short-Attention-Span Obama Voters

Do you think Obama will be mentioning that on this date in 1999, the U.S. Senate voted to acquit Pants-Dropper-in-Chief Bill Clinton on his impeachment charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Hurley the Historian

  • image015WEDNESDAY in our Special “Ash Wednesday” E-dition,The Blower asked what you were giving up for Lent:

Eucharist Tadwell said today Catholics traditionally have ashes sprinkled on their foreheads to mark repentance, so try not to make cruel jokes about somebody with a dirty brow ordering a crispy fish fillet with lettuce and a tangy tartar sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun, because Mackerel Snappers also fast and abstain from eating meat. No only that, Poor Penitent Papists will be without a Pope until Obama makes his recess appointment.

Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane’s next door neighbor in Anderson, Archbishop Dennis M. Schnurr (shown marking parishioners with his dirty thumb), who was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI, said the resignation reflected an unselfish attitude by the Pope.

Hurley the Historian said on this date in 1633 Italian philosopher, astronomer and mathematician Galileo arrived in Rome to face charges of heresy for advocating Copernican theory. Galileo officially faced the Roman Inquisition in April of that same year and agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence. It’s a shame there’s no inquisition for RINO Senators.

  • image016THURSDAY, in our Special “Rudolph Valentino’s Birthday” E-dition, The Blower said, “Obama’s still blaming Bush for the high price of Valentines!”

About this time of year, people who earn their ill-gotten gains in the public relations business are so busy patting themselves on the back that they’re not getting much work done.

After all, if you’d just laid the 2013 Valentine’s Day guilt trip on all those dumbed-down, self-absorbed, media-influenced, celebrity-obsessed, politically-correct uninformed short-attention-span consumers, you’d be busting your buttons too.

Valentine’s Day used to be just for kids. They just said “To My Valentine.” Every second-grader could buy enough cards for the entire school for about a quarter.

Now, adults and adulteresses have about a million different “special cards.” Besides cards for fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sweethearts-male, and sweethearts-female, Valentines for mistresses past, present, and future are also available.

  • FRIDAY in our Special “Esposito’s Return” E-dition, The Blower said, “Welcome back, Mickey!”:

Top Ten List

image018Today, it’s the Top Ten Reasons Mick the Quick gave when he was arrested for stealing all that stuff from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Property Room:
10. I forgot
9. The dog ate it
8. She told me she loved me
7. I did it to help the homeless
6. The Devil made me do it
5. I just wanted to be loved–is there anything wrong with that?
4. I’m still a Republican
3. I was framed
2. This whole thing is just one big terrible mistake
…and the Number One Reason Mick the Quick gave when he was arrested for stealing all that stuff from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Property Room is… the guys at Hamilton County Republican Headquarters said nobody would ever find out.

  • SATURDAY in our Special “Sorry I Forgot Valentine’s Day” E-dition, The Blower said, “Did Al Capone know how to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day or what!”

image019Remember when you went to grade school and you used to come on Valentine’s Day with a big bag full of Valentine’s from all of your little classmates? Remember how good you felt? Maybe that’s why we’re feeling a little low this morning when we think of all those people who didn’t send us a Valentine this year.

  • PRESIDENT OBAMA, who’s spending a undeserved over-taxed payer funded vacation weekend golfing in Florida while The Mooch doubles the cost with her separate over-taxed payer funded holiday in Aspen, didn’t send us a Valentine.
  • OBAMA SUPPORTERS IN THE PRESS, who were all too busy promoting the myth that Obama is cutting spending, didn’t send us a Valentine.
  • DUMBED-DOWN, SELF-ABSORBED, MEDIA-INFLUENCED, CELEBRITY-OBSESSED, POLITICALLY-CORRECT UNINFORMED SHORT-ATTENTION-SPAN OBAMA, who were still waiting for jobs and more free stuff, didn’t send us a Valentine.
  • GOP SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE JOHN BOEHNER, who’s getting ready for his next cave in, didn’t send us a Valentine.
  • SENATOR ROB “FIGHTING FOR FILIBUSTERS” PORTMAN, who actually voted with Senate Republican on a matter of principle this week, didn’t send us a Valentine.

Seediest Kids of All

The Whistleblower’s 63nd Annual Seediest Kids of All Campaign (not associated with the Failed United Way) began continues throughout the year.

We’ve featuring some truly inspirational stories about the waifs and urchins we claim to have helped in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, just so you’ll believe we actually give a big rat’s ass.

Why don’t we have a more traditional holiday guilt campaign like the rest of the news media? No charity made our publisher its president in exchange for free publicity and our endorsement, we don’t have a fat weatherman turned radio talk-show host who was never actually convicted of beating up his girlfriend, and all the really good dead celebrities other than Harriet Beecher Stowe, “Clean Gene” Ruehlmann, and “BeanBall Jim” Bunning have already been taken.

More Politics Unusual

  • image022RECOVERING REPUBLICANS: RINOs in Congress actually did a couple of things right this week. First, in the Senate, they actually filibustered one of Obama’s unacceptable nominees, for the first time ever. Then in the House, Speaker John Boehner’s new Senate First Policy means would force Obama and the DemocRAT-Controlled Senate to act first on all legislation. Why didn’t they think of that two-years ago?
  • DISHONEST DEMOCRATS: The DemocRAT Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) promised House Dems Obama’s so called “Organizing For Action Committee” (aka Obama’s Third Term Re-election Campaign) would work to help D-RATS retake the House in 2014, even though the IRS forbids 501(c)’s from engaging in “partisan political activity.”
  • MEDIA MENDACITY: The Dissociated Press was horrified at Obama-Hating Utah where unyielding GOP Politicians do what voters ask, but all three network morning shows on Friday ignored the fact that the ex-San Diego mayor who gambled away an astonishing $1 billion is a DemocRAT.
  • OUR LATE NIGHT JOKEWATCHER liked Jay Leno’s: “According to a leaked report from an upcoming U.N. study on climate change, solar activity may play a greater role in global warming than previously thought. The sun may be involved in global warming. It’s always the last place you’d think, isn’t it?”
  • THE LATEST POLLS: Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen says Voters must sometimes wonder what part of the phrase “spending cuts” their elected officials don’t seem to understand.
  • CLOWNS IN CONGRESS: It’s less than two weeks until “Obamaquester” (Boehner’s new word for Obama’s “Sequestration”) kicks in as Republicans continue trying to pin the blame on Obama for the upcoming automatic spending cuts.
  • HURLEY THE HISTORIAN says on this date in 1801 after one tie vote in the Electoral College and 35 indecisive ballot votes in the House of Representatives, Vice President Thomas Jefferson was finally elected the third president of the United States over his vice-presidential running mate, Aaron Burr.

Whistleblower Presidential Scholar Patrick Maloney says what happened in 1801 was nothing less than miraculous. It was the first time in recorded history that one faction willingly and peaceably ceded power to another. What’s even more remarkable was Jefferson’s response. He could have used his power to attack his political rivals, but rather than this, he delivered one of the most conciliatory speeches in political history. March 4, 1801 just after noon, TJ delivered this famous line in his inaugural address, “We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists, we are all Americans.”

Ever since, we have accepted this as commonplace, but it really is nothing short of a miracle. It happens this way every four years, but look at the rest of the world and it’s not the rule but the exception. What happened with the election of 1800 was a revolution with ballots, not bullets. It validated our experiment in self-government by showing that a people could rule themselves without resorting to force. It shows that while a majority rules in a democratic commercial republic, there is a corresponding respect for the rights of the political minority.


Obama’s Economy

  • image024OBAMANOMICS 101: Whistleblower Senior National Political Affairs Analyst Britt Humus says in the time it takes you to read this single item, the Federal Government will have borrowed and spent another $346,000.
  • WALL STREET WEAK: Whistleblower Business Editor Merrill Forbes says stocks ended the week about where they started. Maybe next week, there will be something interesting to report.
  • ROMNEYDAMUS WAS RIGHT: This week’s State of Dis-Union Speech this week was just like any of the hundreds of speeches Obama’s given since he’s been in office, and the biggest problem was trying to distinguish Obama’s factual errors from his bold face lies, like when he said all that new free stuff he was planning to give all those Dumbed-Down, Self-Absorbed, Media-Influenced, Celebrity-Obsessed, Politically-Correct, Uninformed, Short-Attention-Span Obama Supporters won’t cost a dime.

More Unresolved  Issues

  • image025G-UNCONTROL: Bluegrass Rifle Association Spokesman Billy Bob Carbine says a recent poll says only 32% believe more gun-control laws will reduce violence, and in another survey, Americans rank Gun Control 18th out of 21 Issues the Government should make a priority, coming in ahead of Improving the Infrastructure and dealing with Global Warming.
  • ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant and former reporter, scolded a congressional panel on Wednesday, saying that he should not be called illegal, and saying it is an insult to his family who brought him here illegally.
  • RACIAL HEALING: Monday’s Fishwrap had a front-page Black History Month story you won’t forget, whining about why there are no black candidates in Cincinnati’s Mayoral contest this year. What do you think we’ve had for the past eight years, and you can see what that’s gotten us! Not only have two of the past four mayor’s been black, two’ve been Same Sex Fanatics and one was a Disgraced Philanderer. And if that’s not DemocRAT Diversity, we don’t know what is. Down at The Fishwrap, Metro Mole wonders why reporters Mark Curnutte and Jan Prendergast didn’t get to use their well-deserved “embellished bylines” on the story.
  • GAY NEWS UPDATE: On Thursday, The Blower featured this “Totally Gay Valentine’s Day Poem” by Whistleblower Alternative Life-Style Contributors Ben Dover and Phil McKrevis:

I thought that I could love no other,
Until, that is, I had sex with your brother.


Buckeye Blues

  • image028IN OHIO: Conservative Curmudgeon Stu Mahlin still can’t understand why Ohio RINO Party Boss Boob Bennett hasn’t had anything bad to say about Ohio Governor John Kasich’s cave in on ObamaCare like Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel did.
  • VOTER FRAUD IN OHIO: The Voter Fraud That “Never Happens” is suddenly happening at the Hamilton County Board of Elections, with 19 possible cases of alleged voter fraud that occurred when Ohio was a focal point of the 2012 presidential election. Hamilton County RINO Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop GOP is even scheduled to appear LIVE on a national Fox News broadcast on Sunday, February 17, at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the ongoing DemocRAT voter fraud investigation.
  • REPTILE REPORT: Peter Stautberg (the best State Rep-Tile Money Can Buy) still hasn’t reacted to the Anderson GOP’s resolution for him to introduce legislation in the Ohio House that would allow Anderson Township citizens to recall an elected official, just like cities and villages like Newtown can do.
  • image031CALLING CAPTAIN CHAOS: Last week, Ohio DemocRATS unleashed their latest offensive against John Kasich, Captain Chaos, Arnol Elam. The soon to be former Superintendent of Franklin City Schools (wherever the hell that is) sent a letter home to parents asking them to help defeat Kasich and his allies in 2014. Naturally, Ohio DemocRAT Chairman Chris Redfern is using this as an opportunity to attack Republican Governor John Kasich.
  • UNION BLUES: Obama’s National Labor Relations Board’s three-DemocRAT panel of board members declared SEIU Healthcare Michigan violated the labor rights of a member of its union staff on Friday. Will wonders never cease?
  • SHAMELESS SOLICITING: We didn’t see a single fund-raising e-mail all week. How wonderful was that?

‘Round Downtown

  • image030THE CINCINNATI MESS (You’ll only read about in The Blower): Foxy Roxy Qualls has been is trying to look like she actually cares how many more millions of over-taxed payer dollars Girly Mayor Mark Mallory’s Trolley Folly will really cost ever since that report stating the City had really low-balled the costs of that Billion Dollar Boondoggle.

There’s no telling how Foxy now feels after Duke Energy filed that lawsuit in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court seeking to shift that estimated $15 million cost back to relocate utility lines for the streetcar project is unconstitutional and that City over-taxed payers should bear the burden, instead of all those Duke ratepayers.

  • LOONY LIBERTARIANS: Cincinnati Mayoral Candidate Jim Berns his opponents to donate a pint of blood each week from now until Election Day on September 10. Wait until you see what he plans to challenge the other candidates to donate next week.
  • PUTTING THE SIN IN CINCINNATI: Queen City Steetwalkers must have city licenses to be on the stroll outside the Horseshoe Casino when it opens on March 4.
  • LIBRARY LOITERERS: One of our new sheriff’s deputies arrested Steven Roberts, 31, and Shlischa Martin, 42, for bumping uglies in the “No Fucking Zone” at the downtown branch of the Hamilton County Pubic Library on Monday. Had they waited until Thursday on Valentine’s Day, it would’ve been OK.
  • HAMILTON COUNTY RINOS: Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop GOP is still looking for a few good candidates to complete his ticket. All he needs now is somebody to run for Cincinnati Mayor, one of the Nine Fine Clowns on Clown-cil, and the Board of Education for the Failed Cincinnati Public Schools.
  • INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST FEARLESS FERRETT says maybe he should looking into stories about other people who might’ve been taken advantage of by that woman who was recently accused of having six felonies in Ohio, since she’s been active in Hamilton County RINO Party politics for several years.
  • REPUBLICANS FOR HIGHER TAXES endorse Pamula Thomas to take the Cincinnati City Clowncil seat being vacated by her husband Cecil Thomas. They say Pam possesses the most important qualification possible – she’s married to Cecil Thomas. It’s another Winkler-Triantafilou all in the family scheme.
  • FOOLS IN SCHOOLS: If the State Auditor thinks there’s something fishy with Mary “Money Bags” Ronen and company scrubbing the attendance data, they should have been here when Delhi Mike was Superintendent. That’s why he’s no longer employed by Newport Public Schools. When Bored Member Evil Bolton was asked about the “scrubbing” incident she replied, “I just hope they scrub the breakfast bar at Frisch’s on Central Parkway.”
  • WHISTEBLOWER GOSSIP COLUMNIST LINDA LIBEL says when Defense Attorney Greg Cohen was accused of bribing a murder witness this week, even the Feckless Fishwrappers remembered that Cohen was a two-time loser DemocRAT, but Local 12 and the DemocRAT Cheerleaders at Channel 9’s “Substantially True” News could not be bothered to include that. WLWT (whose letters stand for We Loathe W Totally) didn’t have the story at press time and the unbalanced goofs at Channel 19 could recall his defense of Liz Carroll in 2006, but not his failed DemocRAT political campaigns. Somehow, all of these news outlets had no problem identifying Anderson Township’s Masturbating Trustee Kevin “Big Spanky” O’Brien as a Republican, even though he has never been endorsed by the GOP for anything at any level.
  • CH SNITCH AT 1000 MAIN STREET wonders why Forgetful Fishwrappers haven’t already dashed over to interview Hamilton County Auditor Dusty Rhodes after The Blower provided some much-needed additional background to the story after Mickey “The Human Avalanche of Entertainment” was arrested for stealing all that stuff from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Property Room. That Double-Dipping Disingenuous DemocRAT has been dancing on Esposito’s grave ever since Republican scandals in the 1990s helped get him elected.

image033The new Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office didn’t seem to be up to date on Mickey’s long history of problems as a former county employee. After all, Jim Neil’s only been in office long enough to replace Semper Si’s name on all his county vehicles, give his deputies a much-needed raise, catch a couple of people screwing in the stairwell at the Downtown Public Library, and get himself listed as a one of Charles Foster Kane’s Faux Facebook Friends.


Soreheads in the Suburbs

  • image034IN ANDERSON: Why was there no mention of the Forest Gump School District’s Secret Tax Hike in this week’s edition of the Forest Hills Urinal? Maybe it’s because Tax Raisers don’t want you to know about their “stealth election,” and they don’t want you to know how much their “Special Election” on the May ballot will be costing over-taxed payers in Anderson. Not to worry, Overpaid Teachers will still get to indoctrinate their students and campaign on over-taxpayers’ time.

Meanwhile in MILF-ord, The Blower is sure that school board is telling its voters when they can expect the money to cover Obama’s Joke Vice President Joe Biden’s visit last fall.

image036And don’t worry if branch library in Anderson doesn’t have its IRS 1040 Tax Forms for all those patriotic people who just can’t wait to work on their own taxes. You can always pick up whatever you need at Ohio’s Second District Congressional Office, at 7954 Beechmont Avenue, directly across the street from the Anderson Tea Party Headquarters.

  • OUR CLERMONT COUNTY CRONY says only a day after Patty Brisben’s picture ran in The Blower this week, the Dildo World CEO got a big write up with the same color picture on the front of the Business Page in The Fishwrap.
  • DRONES OVER DELHI: West Siders have been painfully accustomed to all that CVG air traffic for many years, but not they’re searching the skies for Killer Drones. 
  • FROM THE GREAT WHITE NORTH: NoTaxJack says Republican Linda Oda, who holds two Warren County elected offices at once, will earn more than $93,000 this year as the Warren County recorder and Clearcreek Twp. fiscal officer. Maybe she’s worth it, if she can do two full time jobs at once.

Meanwhile on the South Shore

  • image039IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY: Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says The latest and greatest e-dition of Our Good Friend Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney E Rob Sanders poetic e-newsletter is on cyber news stands now. This week’s This Week In Kenton Circuit Court is busting at the seams with ugly mugs depicting the usual druggies, thugs, thieves and scum bags but none as despicable as these two sick perverts. Randall Creech and William Smith were both busted for using electronic devices to solicit minors for sex. Unfortunately for them, their underage “girlfriends” turned out to be cops. Hopefully they find new, of-age, “girlfriends” in the pokie, if you know what we mean!
  • BLUEGRASS BLOWBACK: The day after Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul voted to block Chuck Hagel’s nomination for secretary of defense, did antiwar conservatives and libertarian supporters of Rand’s father Ron Paul really come after him?
  • UTENSIL BAN: Did Kenton County Sheriff Charles Korzenborn really write a letter to Obama’s Joke VP Joe Biden to question the Obama Administration’s ban on cutlery, since a fork can be used to assault another human being?
  • LEGAL UPDATE: That Cabal of NoKY Attorneys Still Out to Destroy Eric “Call Me Crazy” Deters (including the Lisa Wells WLW Fan Club) listened intently when “Crazy Eric” Deters had “Precious” on WLW Hate Radio and made her out to be angelic… a nurse wif 4 or 5 kids, who works for nuns 60 hours a week. Her daughter was being bullied and she just went to Wiff Row to move her daughter to another skool. She wanted her to go to Seton, but the mama’s daddy went to public skools and didn’t want to spend big bucks for Catholic skools.

More Political Insight Today

  • image039FECKLESS FISHWRAPPERS: The Blower could hardly forgive our Feckless Fishwrappers for their positively dreadful coverage of Mickey Esposito’s past alleged criminalities in Jennifer Edward’s Baker’s so-called news item on Thursday (“Sheriff’s property room supervisor arrested”). Kimball Perry, whose embellished byline claims “I cover the administration of justice and work to ensure that courts do business in the open,” would have been all over a story about Convicted Former Hamilton County Auditor Joe DeCourcy’s lounge lizard son-in-law’s previous crimes and misdemeanors that happened during the Golden Age of Sleaze and Corruption in Hamilton County.
  • MAYBE THAT’S WHY OUR QUOTE FOR TODAY COMMITTEE chose Thomas Sowell’s “If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.”
  • GOING GALT means recognizing that the needs of others do not give them a claim to your time, effort, and achievements.
  • LIBERAL LUNACY: In Human Events’ “365 Ways to Drive a Liberal Crazy,” it says during Black History Month (formerly known as February), always refer to it as “Fake History Month.” Then explain that you refuse to support a racist event which essentially demeans African Americans by subtly implying that they are too bigoted and dumb to relate to any historical event which doesn’t involve people with the right skin tone.
  • image040NOW HERE’S THE LATEST FROM BUNKY TADWELL (THE ODIOUS OCTOGENARIAN): This poem appears in his “Sentimental Poems of Presidential Birthdays,” found in better bookstores everywhere, except in Cleves.

Ode to Presidents’ Days
George Washington, your day is through.
Abe Lincoln, you are done.
Instead of honoring your birthdays,
We just have retail fun.

  • image042FINALLY, AT YESTERDAY’S MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVE AGENDA: With news that Ohio Republican Governor Kasich was sucking up to the Black Caucus in Columbus, Political Insiders were asking Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane about this year’s Ebony and Ivory Racial Healing Awards during Black History Month, now called Half-Black History Month in honor Obama). Kane and Buckwheat Blackwell are finalists, and Award-winning Photo Illustrator Artis Conception thinks those guys have a pretty good chance.
  • image043AND COMING UP IN “THE WEEK THAT WILL BE”:

Monday we’ll be celebrating Presidents’ Day, and we’ll already counting down the 1,433 days until Obama’s “historic” Third Term begins.

Tuesday we’ll be experiencing Post President’s Day Depression and don’t be surprised if all those “Real E-Mails from Real Subscribers” are really patriotic.

Wednesday will be “Cherry Pie Day,” because it comes just a couple of days before Washington’s Birthday, when we retell the story about young George chopping down the cherry tree.

Thursday it’s be just one more week until Black History Month will be half over, and we’ll all be checking to see how The Fishwrap commemorates the occasion.

And the first line of Friday’s limerick is: “A sheriff’s employee we’ll call Mickey.”
