~~ In Columbus, Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says everybody’s talking about that federal judge who ordered Rep. Dishonest DemocRAT Congressman “Bagdad Jim” McDermott to pay House Minority Leader John Boehner more than $1 million in legal fees in a decade-long dispute over an illegally taped telephone cal involving Boehner and other GOP leaders.

~~ Speaking of legal fees, attorneys for local anti-taxers got a $10,00 payday when that lawsuit was settled against Devious DemocRAT Hamilton County Commissioners Odd Todd Opportune and David A. Pepper for their Super-sized $900 million Feel-Good-Social Programs Jail Tax Scam that would also include the GOP Sheriff Simon E. Leis Memorial Hoosegow. Family Friend Fascist Attorney Chris Finney, called the monetary award settlement a “victory for at least one of the over-taxed payers.” Commissioner Pepper, as you might expect, disagreed.

~~ “I don’t think paying $10,000 of taxpayer money is a victory,” he said, adding that the issues could have been resolved without court action. “I think most taxpayers would rather the money go elsewhere,” he said.

~~ Opponents of the CityLink project (who just won’t go away) tell us Finney was the lawyer who incorporated Citylink, with the help of his good friend Schnozzy Heimlich. They say in short Family Friendly wants CityLink, but doesn’t want a jail, claiming he’s the only one who made out in this deal, as soon as he cashed his $10,000 check for filing a law suit against the Sheriff.

~~ Mallory Bashers are talking about Cincinnati’s Dainty DemocRAT Mayor Mark Mallory’s annual birthday party he throws for himself to fill his campaign war chest, where you can contribute $1,000 to honor the wimp. We doubt that any of Mayor's former West End neighbors will be attending, especially after Mallory sold out to CityLink. Dayton Street , the historic "Millionaire's Row" will now become Cincinnati 's Skid Row.

~~ With only 215 more days till the November Elections, our Clermont County Cronies say The Blower really hit the nail on the head when we exclusively reported that local politicians would be trying to outdo each other to see who gets credit for caring the most about fallen hero Matt Maupin and That Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Tax-and-Spend RINO Bitch Mean Jean “Hoffman” Schmidt is once again attempting to advance her campaign agenda through the death of a fallen soldier, not to mention all those pictures of her roughing it in Iraq.

A couple of years ago Rob “Furiously Fighting for Failed Legacies” Portman’s protégé placed her campaign signs along the funeral procession route in Milford for Marine Bryan Taylor. The signs 'mysteriously' disappeared shortly afterwards when certain unnamed cops and sheriff deputies saw what she had done. Reportedly the top cop in Clermont County personally thanked those who were involved in removing her garbage from sacred ground. Prior to that audacious act Shameless Schmidt showed up at the Taylor residence the same day the family received word their son had been killed in action. Before this, the family didn't like or respect Mean Jean, and her intrusion even deepened their distaste for her. Word has it the Maupins are also turned off by her. Cronies say she has done virtually nothing for them in the past four years except exploit their misery to her political advantage. They have openly stated to others that they are willing to tolerate her in order to avoid further grief but they wish she'd disappear. Bobblehead Commissioner Bob Proud fits into the same category. Each time a Clermont County soldier or Marine has been killed in action, he has brazenly intruded upon the privacy of the families involved to orchestrate the funeral proceedings and memorial events afterwards. Even one of his fellow commissioners has dubbed him as a phony. It’s probably just a coincidence, but he’s running for re-election this year. These antics are precisely why Clermont County politics is regarded as a cesspool by many, both citizens and outsiders. How Pathetic! The worse, however is yet to come. Keep an eye out for how the political frenzy and headline grabbing will overflow when Matt 's remains are returned home.

~~ Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose William Randolph’s “A politician will do anything to keep his job - even become a patriot”

~~ On this date in 1882 Jesse James was shot in the back by Bob Ford, a member of his gang who hoped to collect the bounty on Jesse's head. That’s one funeral Mean Jean missed.

~~ It was a real surprise at Mediocre American Ball Park , when Stanley Stickershock took his I son to the Reds opener. He says he didn't mind the parking or ticket costs, but his son got two regular hot dogs and he got one regular dog. They split one large soda. The cost was $17.00 dollars. He even thought the attendant had made a mistake. Next time, if there is a next time, Stanley says he’ll will bring in a cooler with his own goodies. On top of that it was a lousy game.

~~ Alternative Life-styles Columnists Ben Dover and Phil McKrevis wonder if on April 25, when Happy Homo Day is being celebrated at select Hamilton County high Schools (Anderson, Cincinnati Country Day, Finneytown, Indian Hill, Loveland, Oak Hills, St. Xavier, Walnut Hills, Western Hills, and Wyoming), will McDonald’s be sponsoring the event. McDonald's has signed on to a nationwide effort to promote "gay" and "lesbian" business ventures. According to McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner, McDonald’s will be aggressively promoting the homosexual agenda.

~~ Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says now that Kentucky has pretty much shown the nation that you can run a state without a governor, is it time to think locally of doing away with Judge Executives and Mayors?

~~ Now that the Kentucky Legislature has a two-year budget without tax increases and they have solved the pension problem, does this mean that the insurance and the payroll tax will not be going up in Florence this year?

~~ For those students at NKU who are dreading the increased fees and tuition cost because your president does not understand the word “cut,” you may think about committing a Federal crime and going to jail. It was reported this week that more and more people in prison are taking advantage of the opportunity to get a college degree at the expense of the over-taxed payers. Just think, you may be able to build a home like Obama’s pastor with the education you receive and the savings of not having the obligation of repaying your student loan.

~~ The Airport Police at CVG wrote the Blower to ask if it is true that they will be replaced by Muslim Cowboys patrolling the new trails around the Airport. Moises, Alfredo, Julio and Jose said to tell the cops to ask the construction workers who used to work for Fischer and Drees if they are also worried about being replaced by Muslims

~~ A Reds fan wrote to say he knew the old lefthander was known to have a few beers at the ballpark, but he never thought his absence would cause the price to go to $7.

~~ In Tuesday’s Fishwrap, we saw an ad where somebody was already trying to sell his Reds season tickets. What took him so long?

~~ Finally, there are 47 more days till the Bluegrass Primary Elections on May 20. Time sure flies when you’re having fun.
