One of the best parts about publishing The Whistleblower Newswire is checking our e-mail first thing each morning to see some of those politically insightful items we’ve received from our equally politically insightful subscribers. Our readers’ comments are extremely helpful for our analysis and interpretation of today’s important top stories.

Where Are The Cuts?
- Whistleblower Senior National Political Affairs Analyst Britt Humus says reaction to Obama’s $3.8 Trillion 2013 Lame Duck Budget Proposal in the national press was politically predictable.
Monday, The Blower predicted Obama’s DOA 2013 Budget would be just more taxes and spending wrapped up in his customary Class Warfare package. Tuesday, American Enterprise said “Obama’s ‘rosy’ budget scenario doubles down on class warfare.” And over at Lucianne.com, their comment was “Pretty much all you need to know about Obamanomics.” For the next “264” days until the 2012 Presidential Elections.
- Right-wing wag William F. Wisniewski is mildly surprised that there is almost no one in the media or in the nation’s capitol who takes Barack Obama’s budget proposal seriously. Granted, the budget is a cynical joke. But Obama still seems to have a reservoir of cover-up and deceit in the progressive mainstream media.
- Meanwhile, in the Republican Primaries, with only 20 more days until March 6 Ohio, watching Romney and Gingrich argue is a lot like watching Abbott and Costello’s Classic “Who’s on first” Routine. [YOU CAN SEE THAT HERE]
- In Washington, our DC Newsbreaker says now from the Sipsey Street Irregulars, we have Operation Cojones to send John Boehner some balls. Maybe they’re watching our GOP House Speaker caving in to Obama on all kinds of taxing and spending programs. Word is Boehner’s Buffoons are already planning to support Obama’s latest Stimulus Plan. \
- Hurley the Historian says according to the History Channel, on this date in 1898, a massive explosion of unknown origin sunk the battleship USS Maine in Cuba’s Havana harbor, killing 260 of the fewer than 400 American crew members aboard. An official U.S. government inquiry has still not affixed the blame.
Back in the Heart of It All
- In Columbus, Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says everybody’s getting ready to celebrate the anniversary of John Glenn’s flight next Monday. 50 years ago he was the first American in space, but it wasn’t until later that he became really spaced out as a Liberal Senator from Ohio. By the way, how much of his old campaign debts does he still owe? And, of course, everybody but The Blower forgets the good old days when John Glenn was involved in an Ethics Committee investigation of the “Keating Five.”
- Whistleblower Pollster Ron Rasmussen says participants in the Quinnipiac Poll (50% to 36%) say the Buckeye State should join Indiana in making it more difficult to mandate union membership. That poll comes less than four months after Ohio voters crushed Senate Bill 5 by 23 points in a referendum on slashing public employee union rights.
- Yesterday at this year’s Ebony and Ivory Racial Healing Awards during Black History Month, now called Half-Black History Month in honor Obama), organizers announced Buckwheat Blackwell and Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane had reached the semi-finals, and we know all those Persons of Consequence who subscribe to The Blower wish them luck.
- In Ohio’s Second District Congressional Race, The Blower says there’s no way we told that “Alliance for Self Governance” Super PAC that’s targeting Ohio’s Second District Congresswoman with all those negative ads during Ohio’s Primary Campaign about her, or else, they’d be calling Old Wrinkle-Puss That Corrupt Evicted Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Bought-and-paid-For Tax-and-Spend RINO Bitch-in-a-Ditch.
And would you believe, one of three Republican opponents actually got himself on TV Monday night? No kidding! And whatever did Doctor/ Lieutenant Colonel Brad Wenstrup mean when he said he would “return honesty and integrity to Washington?” [SEE THAT INTERVIEW HERE] Was TV5’s Jack Atherton trying to get our Political Podiatrist to stick his foot in his own mouth? Maybe he might like that.
More Local Impact
- Down at the City Hall Circus, where groundbreaking for Girly Mayor Mark Mallory’s Trolley Folly is only days away, our Political Prognosticator remembers all those wild projections about the economic impact that Stupid Purple People Bridge Climb was supposed to bring. They make our Trolley Folliers look like amateurs. And by the way, does anybody have any of those rosy projections for the Empty Uppity Oprah Winfrey Campaigning for Obama, Under-funded, Ugly-ass Poorly-Planned Unnagraown Rayroe Museum Not-so-Free-dom Center.
- The Cincinnati Museum Center is owned by the City of Cincinnati. Why do they expect Hamilton County over-taxed payers to support a $150 million property tax increase to maintain Cincinnati’s buildings? You don’t see Cincinnati raising their taxes to maintain Hamilton County’s buildings.
- Elmwood Place seems to be one big mess. Back in 2007, Elmwood Place Police Chief William Peskin caused the Hartwell Wendy’s to be closed for a time after he imagined a fast food worker there might have poisoned his French fries. No evidence was found that his fries were tainted in any way.
More recently, the small village on Vine Street has had two lawsuits filed in the Hamilton County court system against the village and chief Peskin, charging misconduct on the part of the chief and Mayor Stephanie Morgan. The separate lawsuits were filed by two of the village’s police officers, Gary Darty and David Asher. Before filing his lawsuit, one of the plaintiffs, Sergeant Gary Darty, sent a letter this past summer to Mayor Morgan, charging Chief Peskin with mishandling evidence, mistreating criminal suspects and other immoral and unlawful acts. Sgt. Darty asked the mayor to conduct an investigation of the police chief, which the mayor declined to do. Darty has also reported bullets being removed from his service weapon which he left in a locked office and acts of retaliation against him by the chief.
Chief Peskin took office following the resignation of the previous Elmwood Place police chief, who served just eleven days. Maybe it is now time for Chief William Peskin to resign and let Elmwood Place concentrate on its economic and rampant crime troubles.
Meanwhile Award Winning Photo Illustrator Artis Conception offers us this Elmwood Place Commemorative, suitable for framing. This illustration is also available at Page Two of his Gallery on The Whistleblower Web Page.
- Was it Bring Your Baby to Work Day for an Avondale burglar at Wal-mart in Fairfax when he loaded up the pumpkin seat with two computers and the diaper bag with X-Box controls? Does the baby go directly to 2020 Auburn Ave so we can skip spending money on pre-school and child support?
- In the battle for 27th District State Rep-tile, the Columbus insiders and lobbyists badly want to elect yes-man Peter $tautberg instead of “Taxkiller Tom” Brinkman because $tautberg carries their water. Republicans for Higher Taxes report that the insiders have dispatched one of their servants Shawn Kasych to Cincinnati for the rest of the campaign to make sure the 27th District voters do as they are told. We wonder if $tate Rep for $ale $tautberg’s big donor, Bungal Owner “Millionaire Mike” Brown is paying for this.
- And was every child in the Forrest Gump School District FORCED to take home a “Vote for the Tax Hike Sign” so township property owners of $200,000 houses could pay $2,000-a-year to support the greedy teachers and administrators? If so, maybe our Tea Party Patriots could tell all their members. The featured post on their web site is “Know the Facts.” Voters sure in hell won’t hear about it from the Forest Hills Urinal or the Anderson Chamber of Commerce.
Speaking of web sites, at press time on the Anderson Township Republican Club web page, the January 18 meeting was still listed as an upcoming event.
- Finally, at yesterday’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were asking Charles Foster Kane about that public access TV programming Anderson’s own Whistleblower Newswire was developing right there in Anderson Township. “Several projects are already in development,” our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher explained. People who want to be celebrities on TV have already begun sending us their creative concepts and YouTube auditions at [email protected],” and some of the folks on the CFK-TV Production Crew had an idea for our very own station I.D., although we could always use more.
Bluegrass Bailments
- Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo had some breaking news Tuesday for mothers of trailer park tramps in Clermont County, who should keep their over-sexed offspring on a short leash on Valentines Day, now that Resigned-in-Disgrace Former Clermont County Commissioner Archie Wilson is on the loose again and free to run the streets of Batavia looking for skanks after his brief arraignment at the Kenton County Court House, pleading not guilty for trading drugs for sex at a bed-bug-infested motel in Northern Kentucky.
- Judge Ann Ruttle set the next court hearing for March 15 on the Ides of March. How’s that for an omen, Archie? And as always, when The Blower filches Patrick Reddy’s photos from The Fishwrap, we always give him appropriate credit.
- Meanwhile, all the cronies can’t wait to see who wins The Whistleblower Limerick Contest on Friday where the first line is “A woman we’ll call Amanda Lay.”
- And most surprising in the Adventures of Archie and Amanda is the fact that neither degenerate druggie was represented in court on Tuesday by Eric ‘Call Me Crazy, Big Mouth, Most Sanctioned, Ambulance Chaser, No Count of a Radio Host, Shameless Self Promoter, Willie Wannabe, Why Haven’t I Been Disbarred, Who Likes Bulldogs and Failed Roadhouse Operator’ Deters.
“I would’ve already filed three frivolous lawsuits in Archie’s defense,” Crazy Eric said, “not to mention all that great publicity Archie and Amanda would be getting on my radio show.” “Crazy Eric” then blaming Judge Ruttle and Kenton County Attorney Scarry Garry Edmondson for all of his problems.”
- In a related item, Ken CamBoo says now that we have drugs and prostitution going pretty well in Northern Kentucky, all we need is that vote on gambling.
- Finally, a frequent flyer out of CVG said we must have the fear of terrorists entering the country through the gates at CVG under control, if the airport police now have time to chase bank robbers through parts of Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana.
