image003One of the Most Fun Things For Persons of Consequence these days is reviewing the current week’s thirty-two-year-old 1991 Edition of the Whistleblower (the award-winning printed version that was hand-delivered all over town) to see if any people pictured on those pages might be still fogging a mirror these days.

For Example, In This Week’s “All The News That Fits We Print” Edition

We See Bill Cunningham When He Was Only A 43-Year-Old Draft Dodger

Jim Cissell, Who Is Currently One Of Our BFFs On Facebook

Jeff Ruby Was Exploiting The War In 1991

Landslide Charlie Luken Was On His Way To Washington

John Quichwarmer Was Always Looking At Boobs On The Tube

Norma Rashid’s Picture Was In The Whistleblower, Too.

Ken Blackwell Was Inaugurating The Whistleblower Wire Service

Jerry Springer Was Paying Prostitutes By Check

And Our Good Friend Hamilton County Sheriff Si Leis, Who Was Always Trying To Bust Jerry Springer, Is Now Sheriff Of Geezervilleimage003

JAN 20 THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYSNEARLY THIRTY-TWO YEARS AGO TODAY…

Edition #35 (published on January 29, 1991) of the original printed edition of The Whistleblower (not the Newswire) was delivered to Persons of Consequence all over town. That Week’s “Really Big Story” was all about that “Patriot Missile Protecting Cincinnati” during the Gulf War. The Top Ten List was the Top Ten Reasons most Americans had gotten tired of the war in only 13 days, the Pentagon said Borgman’s cartoon was treason, and WLW Radio Trash Talkers Bill Cunningham was claiming he was NOT a Draft Dodger.image004

 There was a Real Editorial by Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane (before he became “Beloved”), more “Real Facts,” and The Whistleblower was offering a FREE Gas Mask with every new subscription.

And we took “Cheap Shots” at Rev. Morris McCracken, Dr. Floyd Poore, , Jeff Ruby, and Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce President John Williams; and in “Another Real Guest Editorial by Bunky Tadwell,” the Bunkmeister was complaining about the war.image008

We Featured “Real Letters From Real Readers” and “an Item by Congressman Landslide Charlie Luken .”image010

Page Five Featured Bluegrass Holler by Ken CamBoo, Phil Samp sportscasting the bombing in Baghdad, Sexual Preferences by Connie Lingus, and Traffic Tie-Ups by John Phillips Sousa.image012

And on Page Six, John Quichwarmer’s “Boobs on the Tube” included Pat Barry, Norma Rashid, and Jerry Springer; Hamilton County Treasurer Wayne F. Wilke had a special message for troops serving in the Persian Gulf, and our ad for the Scud Bowl.image015

Maybe By Next Week We’ll Find A Way To Make These Pages Straight.
