— Official “Bastille Day” E-dition —

Fighting for Face Time

  • Finally, Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1789, people in France got a holiday when revolutionaries stormed the Bastille, and since our French boycott is no longer still in effect for all patriotic Americans, Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo will once again be joining Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane and Terry “The Smiling Jailer” Carl at what used to be one of Camboo’s pre-boycott favorite fine-dining establishments in Northern Kentucky, Chez Bastille, located at 3000 Decker Crane Lane in Covington, Kentucky. The food was so good, it wasn’t surprising Chez Bastille was so hard to get into. And folks who used to eat there all the time say, “Once you were there, you probably would’ve found it even more difficult to leave.”

Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose “I went to a fancy French restaurant called ‘Deja Vu.’ The headwaiter said, ‘Don’t I know you?’” The Blower really liked George Carlin’s, “The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going.”

  • The Fishwrap is reporting that the Obama campaign is trying to put together an over-taxed payer funded campaign appearance in Cincinnati on Monday. That gives you the “Who.” At press time, we still didn’t know “What,” “Where,” “When,” and most importantly “Why.” The Romney Campaign tends not to let Obama’s Ohio visits go unchallenged. It would be fun to see Romney or some of his high-profile surrogates dropping by the Queen City on or around Monday. VP Wannabe Rob “Fighting for Face Time” Portman says he hopes it won’t be Condi Rice.
  • And did you notice how all that controversy about Mitt Romney getting booed at the NAALCP Convention stopped as soon as Drudge floated the rumor that Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was leading in the Romney Veepstakes. Still, Edward Cropper shows us how that went when Romney tried to get Black Americans off the DemocRAT Plantation, and Joe Biden shucked and jived for the black folks.
  • In Washington, our DC Newsbreaker says just about everybody was upset about those really gay looking Ralph Lauren U.S. Olympians’ uniforms being made in China. Distraught DemocRAT Harry Reid says, “I think the Olympic Committee should be ashamed of themselves. I think they should be embarrassed. I think they should take all the uniforms and put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again. If they have to wear nothing but a singlet saying ‘USA’ on it painted by hand, that’s what they should do.” Hey, Harry—what in the hell is a “singlet?”
  • Thursday, after Obama gutted Welfare Reform, Romney said, “Obama now wants to strip the established work requirements from welfare. The success of bipartisan welfare reform, passed under President Clinton, has rested on the obligation of work. The president’s action is completely misdirected. Work is a dignified endeavor, and the linkage of work and welfare is essential to prevent welfare from becoming a way of life.”

Think how much money we could save if we just got rid of Congress and let Obama make up his own laws or stop enforcing all the ones he doesn’t like.

  • And did Obama really tell Charlie Rose at CBS the biggest mistake he’s made as president is “not being a good storyteller?” No wonder Romney said, “President Obama believes that millions of Americans have lost their homes, their jobs and their livelihood because he failed to tell a good story. Being president is not about telling stories. Being president is about leading, and President Obama has failed to lead. No wonder Americans are losing faith in his presidency.”
  • And have you been watching those House Energy and Commerce Committee hearings on the “No More Solyndras Act,” designed to prevent repeat performances of President Obama’s horrendously expensive “green energy” failures? Obama’s Energy Department guy actually testified that the program was a tremendous success. Sure. Maybe that’s because 80% of the loans have gone to Obama donors.
  • Republicans for Higher Taxes applaud “Junketing Jean” Schmidt for voting with the DemocRATS to protect the food stamp program from further cuts. Under Obama, the food stamp rolls have increased 44%, and Schmidt wants to keep a good thing going. There is such thing as a free lunch, and it’s you the over-taxed payer who is providing it.
  • And our Lame Duck Bitch’s News Flack Barrett Brunsman asked us to remind all the farmers and grocers who ultimately get first dibs on the money from the food stamp program, that while her campaign isn’t currently accepting donations, checks can still be written to the Jean Schmidt Legal Expense Trust to pay off those murderous Muslim Turks who were paying her lawyers illegally for years without Jean’s knowledge.
  • Meanwhile in Ohio’s Second Congressional District, Disgruntled DemocRATS are still complaining that “Bronze Star Brad” Wenstrup is getting a free ride. So what did Paul Hackett say when the Dems asked him if he’d like to run?
  • CH Snitch at 1000 Main Street says don’t forget six years ago today when Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane’s won his landmark hearing at the Hamilton County Board of Revulsion after the Disingenuous DemocRAT County Auditor’s “certifiable” appraiser got caught trying to justify the Auditor’s bogus 41% computer-generated appraisal. It was our Disingenuous DemocRAT’s Disastrous Debacle, but our local Kneepad Liberals in the Press still don’t give a big rat’s ass about victims of drive-by reappraisals, or victims of drive-by shootings for that matter.
  • CH Snitch also says every four years, political cicada Hamilton County Treasurer Rob Goering comes up from the ground to beg the voters of Hamilton County for their votes and then, like clockwork right after the election, goes back underground to a place deep in the bowels of the earth.

If you spot this elusive political creature, The Blower wants to know. Snap a photo, send a report and help us better define this rare species of RINO in the wild.

  • In Anderson, Saturday morning’s Farmers’ Market is featuring a “Zucchini Festival,” and Township Trustee Kevin will be the Grand Marshall of the Zucchini Parade, where he’ll be proudly waving his little zucchini, if you know what we mean.
  • Word is there are still more terminations at Cincinnati Legal. How else will $tan and Joe get any share of the profits?
  • Many have asked why Attorney and Schmidt Apologist Joe Braun’s name showed up in an article in The Fishwrap about the ongoing dispute between Time Warner and Hearst Communications. Braun was quoted as saying that he was upset about local programming being interrupted, but we’re told the real reason is that big class action lawsuit he plans to file against Time Warner on behalf of consumers. Or perhaps he really does miss watching Sheree Paolello.
  • What does it mean when the Chairman of the Clermont Cronies has to write a column in the Community Press begging for money to help keep the lights on at party headquarters? Perhaps Tim Rudd should ask the Tea Party Patriots running the Clermont GOP to fill the void left by all the contentious primaries that threw out the incumbent officeholders and drove away the party’s key benefactors.
  • At yesterday’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were asking Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane about Obama’s announced visit to Cincinnati on Monday. “Remember last September when Obama came here, supposedly pushing for “shovel ready jobs” with the Brent Spence Bridge in the background?” Kane asked. “How’s that big construction job coming anyway? Anyone see a surveyor on the banks of the Ohio or any workers digging piers, or any Chinese steel working making supports.”
  • Finally, Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo got thrown out of the Chez Bastille restaurant the other night for telling French restaurant jokes like “How do you get a French waiter’s attention? Answer: Start ordering in German.” And Our Good Friend Pierre Leach got thrown out instantly afterwards when he came up with the rest of “The French they are a funny race…”

This is the Official Bastille Day E-dition. Any other publication claiming Official Bastille Day status is surely a fake.
