Happy Washington’s Birthday, Everybody!
Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1732, George Washington, the Father of our Country was born. Shouldn’t we have a National Holiday to celebrate the occasion?
That’s why our Quote for Today Committee selected Washington’s “Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder.” Do you think the Father of Our Country had Obama in mind?
- Whistleblower Presidential Historian Dorian Grady says today would’ve been Washington’s 280th birthday, but on “President’s Day” George Washington was disrespected once again. According to Freedom Warrior host Radio Greg Halvorson (“Failure to Honor Washington: a Triumph of the Left”) it’s “The equivalent of ‘every leader gets a prize,’ it mocks history, inspires no one, and displays the lengths to which fools go to be foolish. There is no equality between George Washington and James Polk, between Thomas Jefferson and Millard Fillmore, and to assert otherwise says: 1) that no president is different from any other; 2) that individuals must bow to the Collective; and 3) that history is a dull, generic ride.
“This, of course, derives from the Left, which spreads tales – even a few false ones – of racism amongst the Founders, and which recently had members of the NAALCP hide General Washington from view. Indeed, they covered the statue of George Washington with a black box (shown at right), even as they praised the author of the line, “Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”
Maybe that’s why Conservative Curmudgeon Stu Mahlin said, “Hey! Maybe someday when the Right is back on top, MLK Day can be changed to Protesters’ Day.
- One of the scholars at The Conservative Agenda’s Institute of Higher Learning pointed out that The Blower has long referred to the Presidents Bush as 41 and 43, and wonders if we should not now number Adams 2 and 6, Harrison 9 and 23, Johnson 17 and 35, and Roosevelt 25 and 31. Our “Question of the Week” could be: Which are related and how closely?
In Washington, our DC Newsbreaker asks with only 1,428 more days remaining during the Dark Ages of America’s Second Term, would this nation ever have been founded if our Mendacious Mainstream Media had been around?
Tuesday, all three network TV newscasts parroted Obama’s latest Sequester Threat, along with the same White House talking points to warn about Obama’s Sequester coming next Friday, and not one of those Obama Supporters in the Press noted it was Obama’s stupid idea in the first place, not that it would make the slightest difference to all those Dumbed-Down, Self-Absorbed, Media-Influenced, Celebrity-Obsessed, Politically-Correct, Uninformed, Short-Attention-Span Obama Supporters who voted for Sequester Madness.
Meanwhile, on the Cable News Channels, PMSNBC’s Obama Sycophant Chris Matthews, who previously whined about too much “Hate” in Politics, compared the GOP to Hamas, and on Fox News, Charles Krauthammer said Obama’s Sequester was “the most ridiculously hyped Armageddon since the Mayan Calendar.”
Is it any wonder The Father of Our Country is spinning in his grave tonight?

Whistleblower Web Poll
This week, here’s how the first 17,648 Whistleblower Web Poll respondents said was the best Obama’s Sequester Threat they’ve heard so far:
(A) It’ll end Government as we know it: 2%
(B) Union employees will lose their jobs: 1%
(C) The Consequences would indeed be dire: 1%
(D) More Obama Sequester Cut Threat Speeches: 94%
Note: Everything we write doesn’t have to be so damn cynical and mean-spirited, it’s just so much more fun that way!
Mickey Mugged
This week, everybody who was surprised when Mickey Esposito was actually working in the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Property Room so he could steal stuff, especially after his previous criminal trial cost Over-Taxed Payers more than $1 million, County e-mailed an entry to the Whistleblower Limerick Contest.
The winner is retired noted newspaper columnist Frank Weikel, who says watching The Blower cover this story will take him back to the good old days of local journalism when his “Talk of the Town” column appeared six days a week in what was then a respected morning newspaper we’ll call the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Frank wins a long-overdue Lifetime Achievement Award from the Greater Cincinnati Society of Professional Journalists (if there is such a thing), a gift package from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Property Room, and for his Bucket List, the opportunity to revive his news reporting career every once in a while in the Tri-State’s finest example of journalism today, The Whistleblower Newswire. His winning limerick is:
A sheriff’s employee we’ll call Mickey
Had fingers O’ so sticky.
He thought he was sly,
When stealing from Si,
Soon his cellmate will be calling him Vicki.
And from our Anderson Laureate, whose poetic license has been renewed for another week:
A sheriff’s employee we’ll call Mickey
Had fingers that were awfully sticky,
He snatched stuff that was impounded
So now he is grounded
Watch out for this guy, he is tricky.
But wait, maybe I’m being judgmental.
This guy’s problems might be purely mental.
He first plead insanity
(Without a trace of vanity)
But with a lying crook, it’s really hard to be gentle.
Our world’s full of all kinds of species,
Nasty folks, and those sweet as Reese’s Pieces.
But never forget
Some people we’ve met
Are worse than a dog’s stinky feces.
The first line of next week’s limerick is:
“This month we study Black History.”
