~~ You think people don’t pay attention to The Blower? For years we’ve been explaining how to pronounce the name of Judge Alex Triantafilou. Now on His Honor’s very own re-election committee e-mail, we see:

How doe the Judge pronounce his name?

Judge gets that question quite often. Here's a little help:

~~ Whistleblower Senior National Political Analyst Britt Humus says before the Florida Primary all the talking heads said if Romney didn’t win, it didn’t matter since he had plenty of money to keep on with his campaign, but McCain had to win or else his campaign was history. So now that McCain barely breaks a third of the Republican voters (that means almost 2/3 s of those voting voted against him), winning his first-ever triumph in a primary open only to Republicans, how in the world does that make him the anointed Republican nominee? Unless someone is trying to sell someone a pig in a poke! And by the way, why in hell would Republicans think the New York Times should choose the Republican nominee, or even have the interest of Republicans at heart in their selection or recommendation?

~~ Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1790, February 1, 1790, the U.S. Supreme Court met for the first time with Chief Justice John Jay presiding, and instantly afterward, DemocRATS began whining that the election had been stolen.

~~ In Columbus, Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says according to the Toledo Blade, on the night of March 4, the eyes of the nation will be trained on Ohio's primary election, but because of a requirement that paper ballots be offered to voters as an alternative to the touch-screen machines, those eyes could be red and bleary, or closed in sleep, by the time the votes are counted.

~~ Also, according to the Ohio RINO Party, winning Ohio in 2008 will take an all-out effort in every one of our 88 counties. That’s why they’re asking you to contribute $88 ($1 for each county in Ohio ).

~~ Channel 9’s John Matarese says those $600 tax rebate checks could also be going to illegal immigrants. This possible loophole has many over-taxed payers and talk radio hosts up in arms

They say it’s criminal that some illegal immigrants could pocket checks...While many retirees on Social Security won't get a penny!

~~ Also in Ohio ’s Second Congressional District, one of our Wulsin Watchers says from August to December, four years ago, Ditzy DemocRAT Icky Vicky Wulsin (Millionaire-Indian Hill) was employed at the Heimlich Institute in Cincinnati . At the time, the Institute was performing experiments on AIDS victims, injecting them with tuberculosis bacteria and the malaria parasite. Tuberculosis and malaria are deadly and infectious diseases. Wulsin was fully aware of the nature of the experiments. Some say she was actively campaigning to become the head of the Heimlich Institute. Her employment occurred at the same time she was alleged to be helping AIDS victims in Kenya , through her Soteni Inc. group. And now Icky Vicky conveniently forgets her active participation and whole-hearted enthusiasm for the project. Wulsin wants us to believe she purportedly wrote a report while at the Institute, but maybe she just made up a “report” after she became a political candidate?

~~ Down at the Hamilton County Engineer’s Office, Chief Deputy Ted Hubbard is the odds-on favorite to be the “Employee of the Month.” And at our unopposed Disingenuous DemocRAT County Auditor’s Office, they hope you got your jacked-up property tax payment postmarked by January 31, or your name will appear in those deadbeat lists in Fishwrap.

~~ Speaking of public service (the kind mentioned in Huggable Howard’s whitewash of the Mendacious Mallory Family), along with our Dainty DemocRAT Mayor Mark Mallory’s $120,000 stipend and Judge William Mallory, Jr. is only accepting an annual salary of $121,350, Municipal Court Judge D wayne Mallory is being paid (not the same as earning) over $111,000 per year. We’re up top $350,000 per year, folks. Somebody needs to look up the definition of “Public Service.”

~~ Our Quote for Today Committee chose former vice president Dan Quayle’s: “I just don't believe in the basic concept that someone should make their whole career in public service.”

~~ The 10-year-old, who got preggie and had a baby, lived in Lockland. That must be a relief to Failed Cincinnati Public $chool$ Board. At least, da baby's baby mama didn't fail their health classes.

~~ Was that SCPA principal John Robert Carlisle driving the SPCA vehicle in Colerain after the steer escaped from Stehlin's Meat Mark et? Maybe Carlisle heard the escaped animal was a young heifer and he wanted to be the one to give it the shot of tranquilizer, if you know what we mean. After all, bovines can't file lawsuits against him. And Carlisle likes meat markets.

~~ A group of North Avondale disgruntled parents put up a good web site called SaveCPS.org. But now the web site is gone, with an "under construction" notation. Did Mrs. Buckwheat threaten them? Is this another case of lame duck Rosa bulldozing anything that gets in her way, including schools, children, and parent groups?

~~ Our Clermont Crusader says The Blower really hit the mark with yesterday’s item about that Clermont County Commissioner’s Race. Crusader says Ed Humphrey is very desperate for votes and has almost no support outside of his own township. He lost the endorsement at the Clermont County Republican Party endorsement meeting. Although none of the candidates got enough votes for the endorsement, Archie Wilson got more than Ed did. After that Ed was heard repeatedly insulting the Republicans for being so stupid for not endorsing him over a dumb country bumpkin like Archie. Then to fix his loss, Ed rigged a meeting of the Miami Township Republican Committee (where he had home field advantage) so he could at least get their endorsement and save face. Guess who was behind that move? His fellow trustee Mary M. Wolff and his long lost pal Mean Jean Schmidt and her Eviler Twin Jennifer Black. But don’t expect the Feckless Fishwrap to pick up on this scam anytime soon.

~~ Our Grinch from Green Township says Bill “The Ethnic Cleanser” may have voted for TaxKiller Tom Brinkman at Temporary Hamilton County RINO Party Boss George Vincent’s so-called Executive Committee Meeting, but all the other Green Township members of the Executive Committee voted for Heimlich. None of them voted for Schmidt. The Green Township Republican Club and Green Township GOP Executive Committee voted twice— once to support Bob Mecklenborg, and once to reject "Dour" Dickie. By the way, isn't "Dour Dick" a venereal disease?

Our Grinch thanks The Blower for noticing that the Green Township Republican leadership often disagrees with the Hamilton County Republican leadership, and has the backbone to say so. We don't have splinters in our asses from sitting on fences.

~~ Our Colerain Crony tells us that if you are looking for a quiet place to read, study, or figure out how much you owe the government in taxes, the last place in the world you should go is the over-taxed payer-supported Groesbeck Public Library. Should you be sitting there minding your own business, you’ll find it hard to concentrate with all the cell-phone chatter going on around you. If you ask someone to tone it down, they will ignore you, or laugh at you. If you ask a teacher to use an empty table (rather than the one you are using) to tutor a student, she will lecture you about good manners. If you ask a staff member for help, they will pretend they can’t hear you. If you ask loudly for help, they will ask YOU to leave, since “you are the only one making any noise.” If you ask for an associate’s name, they will not give it to you. If you get the manager on the phone, he will apologize but in no way do anything to make his library quieter. The inmates are definitely running that over-taxed payer-supported asylum. If our state rep-tiles are looking for fat in the state budget, perhaps the over-taxed payer-funded cell-phone and chat-room centers known as “public libraries” would be a good place to start trimming.

~~ We heard a story the other day about a six-year-old in the McMason Schools who painstakingly wrote out Christmas cards for every kid in his class. He spent the whole weekend doing it and proudly brought them to school where the teacher took them away from him. At the end of the day, she gave him the cards back in a big envelope and told him to take those and the note home to his mother. Mom not only had to tell him that the big envelope was NOT a present from teacher (whom he liked a lot) but the note said he was NOT ALLOWED to do these politically incorrect things and this would not be tolerated.

~~ Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says when three NoKY judge defectives, who all claim to be Republicans, show up in Frankfort advocating higher taxes, the few real Republicans left in Frankfort must be wondering "With Republicans like Boone County's Gary Moore, Kenton County's Ralph Drees, and Steve Pendery of Campbell County, who needs DemocRATS?!"

~~ Things are much better in Kenton Circuit Court....John (dough boy) Middleton has only been having three meetings a day now, instead of six. He’s decided to make everyone a supervisor or a trainer. Maybe if they all have a title they will stay. The rumor in the office is that his two chief deputies are getting tired of doing his work.

~~ Since Patsy Crowley's been beaten over the head about his tasteless remarks in his Sunday column about the DemocRAT Dominatrix's thin skin, he posted this statement on his Fishwrap blog yesterday: “I regret any picture I might have painted of Kathy Groob showing any skin to anyone anywhere. It was not just because she's a crying girl that I slammed her with my disgusting thin skin remarks, it was because I was severely hung over when I wrote the column.”

~~ During last night's televised budget address by KY governor Steve Beshear, it seems our little Mrs. Robinson might have slipped behind one of the large pillars with her young beau. Their interlocking fingers could be seen on the KET camera when they panned the House floor.

"Hide in the hiding place where no one ever goes.

Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.

It's a little secret just the Robinsons' affair.

Most of all you've got to hide it from the legislators."

~~ Even the Kenton County Republican Women’s Club is sticking to poor Will Terwort, getting involved and officially assisting Trooper Babe in her campaign.

~~ A Green enthusiast from Hebron wrote to ask how many trees could have been saved if the Fishwrap would have stopped the deliveries of all those papers laying in driveways and stacked in corners of grocery stores in Boone County when the people called and said they did not want that rag anymore.

~~ Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane was supposed to have lunch with a Northern Kentucky political insider at the Behle Street Café on Thursday, but yesterday was a little chilly to drive all the way to Covington with his car’s electric window on the driver’s side unable to close.

~~ Obama ranked most Liberal Senator in 2007

(A) Freezing their asses off: 2%

(B) Enjoying some of that great Groundhog Stew: 1%

(C) Visiting the Empty Uppity Oprah Winfrey Campaigning for Obama, Under-funded, Ugly-ass Unnagraown Ray roe Museum Freedom Center : 1%

~~ This week, everybody who would like to see Ditzy DemocRAT Icky Vicky Wulsin (Millionaire-Indian Hill) in naked mud-wrestling matching with That Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Tax-and-Spend RINO Bitch Mean Jean “Hoffman” Schmidt, e-mailed entries to the Whistleblower Limerick Contest.

~~ The winner, of course, was her Republican-turned-DemocRAT Primary Opponent Steve Black, who swears on a stack of Bibles he’s definitely not the one who’s been sending all that unsubstantiated gossip to The Blower.

As first prize, Soteni Inc. (which is not Icky Vicky’s personal private charity) is donating a roundtrip plane ticket to visit a Kenya AIDS site. Second prize is spending the night in Icky's mansion, on her 15-acre estate on a private lane in Indian Hill. Other prizes: Steve will get to make a video inside her house, produced by his campaign, but the campaign won't have to admit to it. Steve will also get to meet Icky’s Vicky’s counsel Charles F. Hollis III and her Muslim apologist neighbor Inayat K. Malik. His winning entry is:

Why older women like younger guys

Should come as no great big surprise;

They're all eager to please,

With no risk of disease,

Smile sweet, and they'll be droppin' their flies.

There once was a doctor named Vicky

Whose IRS filings were sticky.

When defending her non-profit

She would unfailingly scoff at

Those who claimed that, like Dick, she was tricky.

There once was a doctor named Vicky

Who acquired the nickname of "Icky."

Her daughter's guitar

Won't get her too far,

We suggest to her day job she stick-y.

The first line of next week's Limerick Contest:

"There once was a doctor named Vicky”
