~~ TV 19 Weather guessers say “Although we do not believe Man's actions have any thing to do with global warming, let's keep an open mind. Could global warming be caused by all the extra sunlight due to daylight saving time?” It’s no wonder our Quote for Today Committee chose George Carlin’s: “Weather forecast for tonight: dark.”

~~ Friday at 6 AM, a West side couple left their home headed for Good Samaritan Hospital where the lady had an appointment for tests. The streets in their neighborhood had been well cleared overnight by city salt trucks. The Western Hills Viaduct and McMillan Street hill were perfection. But then they came to Straight Street , and both Clifton and Dixmyth Avenues. All of those streets were ice rinks, not having been touched by city salt crews.

Arriving safely at Good Sam, the couple received much personal attention from the continuously arriving staff. No other patients had kept their appointments for tests. The lady was escorted into the hospital's nether regions to be put through her paces. Her husband, alone in the large waiting area, was included in the conversation of the not-busy staff. They told him that the City of Cincinnati NEVER clears any of the streets in the U.C. and hospital neighborhoods. Tens of thousands of people are employed by these organizations in the Clifton , University Heights , Avondale, Fairview , Mt. Auburn , and Clifton Heights areas, but all of them risk their safety to get to their jobs. In addition, thousands more Cincinnatians live in those neighborhoods and drive those snowy, icy streets to get to their jobs in other places.

After the lady's tests were completed, the couple, out of curiosity, slowly maneuvered around streets mentioned by the hospital staff. Martin Luther King Drive was an icy mess, as was Riddle Road . On that latter street is one of Cincinnati 's largest homes for the elderly. If one of the residents there had a medical appointment or emergency, a transport vehicle driver would risk his all to access the place.

What is the purpose of the City's policy never to clean icy, snowy streets in the hospitals and university areas?

~~ Our good friend Frank Weikel just e-mailed us to say eat your heart out ---or eat any thing that blows up your skirt....it was 82 in Punta Gorda , Florida on Saturday...and the area has just a few DemocRAT rats...

~~ In the Whistleblower’s War on the Whitehouse, Senior National Political Analyst Britt Humus says the New York Times has proven once again that the liberal mainstream media will do whatever it takes to put Senator Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in the White House as both Liberal Bush-Bashers visit Cincinnati this weekend— Hillary on Saturday and Obama at UC on Monday. Meanwhile, John McCain will be in Cincinnati on Tuesday. McCainiacs call his campaign bus “The Straight Talk Express,” but after all that gossip about the GOP front-runner and that luscious lady lobbyist, one of our Snitchettes at Hamilton County RINO Party Headquarters wonders if it shouldn’t now be called the “Strayed Cock Express.” Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1868, President Andrew Johnson was impeached, and amazingly, it was not for lying about getting BJs in the Oval Office.

~~ Did you notice whenever you see a video clip of McCain that Mike Dewhine is often in the background. Our Conservative Strategist, Published Again! hopes that McCain is not stupid enough to think that our Disgraced Former Sniveling Senator could help him carry Ohio.

~~ With only nine more days till Ohio’s Primary Elections on March 4, many people at the Hamilton County Farm Bureau lunch on Friday weren’t a bit surprised to see That Lying Plagiarizing Meddling Overblown Tax-and-Spend RINO Bitch Mean Jean “Hoffman” Schmidt and her fellow tax-and-spender David A. Pepper cuddling together. After all, didn’t Mean Jean give the Devious DemocRAT her guest pass to last month’s State of the Union Address in Washington? How many Republicans would’ve liked to have been asked?

~~ Meanwhile, Rob “Fighting for Failed Legacies” Portman, the guy who handed Mean Jean his 70+% Republican District on a silver platter, says forget all that buzz he’s trying to create about being McCain’s vice presidential pick. He’s too busy making it rain for the Cincinnati law office of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey. The Robster says he hasn’t had this much fun since he first went to Washington and got his first Patton, Boggs and Blow job.

~~ And when Mean Jean’s campaign manager Sara M. Dreier e-mailed Schmidtheads saying Mother Nature seemed to have plans for Thursday tonight, and it looks like they did not include phone banking. Did that mean God was trying to send a message that He does not want The Bitch back in office?

~~ Speaking of phony banks, folks at the Cincinnatus Society, who never met a tax increase they couldn’t fully support, voted to help out the Failed Cincinnati Public $chool tax levy with a phone bank, but their efforts were a total bust, because not a single left-wing-loony volunteered. They were all waiting for somebody else to do it, just like when they try to get you to pay higher taxes.

~~ Mrs. Buckwheat is counting on you suckas to vote for her Failed Cincinnati Public $chools levy on March 4. Her teechers done made they reservations for their big trips this summer and she don't want to leave then hanging. God forbid, they may have to stay home and work this summer like most of us. But don't worry, she only allocated $150,000for they fun in the sun. As she would say, "Ya can't do nuffin with dat!"

~~ Covering the state rep-tile campaigns, in the 30th House District, our Delhi Republican has a question for Dour Dick. At this point the sole premise of his campaign is that voters should pick the person NOT selected through the party process in Hamilton County and by the House in Columbus , because that process is corrupt. OK, fair enough, but inquiring minds want to know why Dour Dick participated in that very same process. Would he be crying foul had he been selected instead? Would the traditional process be suddenly legitimate? That certainly sounds like sour grapes to us.

~~ A Dour Dick supporter says the "Borg" is rattled. He’s trying to get anyone who can say something good about him (including the husband and wife combo-The Kelleys), to write letters for him in the The Press. He just can't believe that justice might prevail with the election of Hammersmith. What goes around comes around and the Borg is going down. Maybe the Borg would be honored to swear in Dour Dick in January.

~~ Westside Workers couldn't stop laughing at RINO Roberto Mecklenborg's claim that his Vote for Me in Three Weeks Bill is completely different from every other bill introduced that does the same thing. Only a slick lawyer (or Bill Clinton) would re-introduce an old, failed piece of legislation right before an election and claim he's come up with something different. Don't be surprised to see RINO Robert vote for another Sales Tax increase in 2008 just like he did in 2007. He'd probably claim that proposal would be a new idea too.

~~ And in yet another Whistleblower exclusive, Borg Sr. was sworn in 10/9/07 and Borg Jr.’s LOBBYIST Form was received 10/18/07 and entered on 10/23/07. Coincidence? Have they no shame?

~~ On the East Side in the 34th House Distinct, did the Whistleblower actually cover “In Russ We Trust” Jackson ’s big fund-raiser at the soon-to-be-opened $21 Gazillion Anderson Center ? You bet! As the publication of record for all the political scrambling, speculation, mud-slinging, and back-stabbing in Southwest Ohio , our readers know to expect nothing less. And did 317 ravenous Republicans really show up the sumptuous repast, as Duffy “The Shrimp” Slayer” Beischel reported? You’re right about that, too. Neither snow nor rain nor winter mix nor icy drizzle could stay all those political parasites from their freeloading frenzy. The shrimp, by the way, was delicious.

~~ And how about that phony-baloney debate between The Russler’s two no-name opponents (“TaxKiller Tom’s” pussy opponent who lost in the 2004 GOP Primary and that guy with same last name as a judge) which was supposed to be put on at the exact same time by Jackson’s spoiled sport nemesis, Whacky Jackie O’Brien’s illegitimate son Kevin? We understand not a single person showed up.

~~ Shouldn’t someone be taking a look those state rep-tile candidates’ finance reports? We thought all $10,000 PAC contributions had to be from PACs registered with the Secretary of State, even if they are noted to be at the same address as a candidate’s law office. Has anyone ever seen a candidate put in $50,000 of his own money, and then refund $35,000 of it before the end of the year? Is he trying to make his numbers look big or what? Is that media company he paid $45,000 to affiliated with Stan Aronoff's State Street firm after he misspelled his not-yet-incarcerated-lobbyist endorser’s name as “Aranoff” on that slick mail piece he sent out?

~~ The Board of Elections is paying people $155-175 to work as election officials and judges during the upcoming March 4 primary. Anyone interested must be registered to vote in Hamilton County and be available for a training class on Monday, March 3, the night before Election Day. With those big bucks being offered, the Geezer Center will likely be closed that day.

~~ Friday we talked about the threesome of newly elected Failed Cincinnati Public $chool$ Bored members. Let's examine some other members and see what they are doing to help the Schools, which is nothing, by the way. There's the Widow Bates, who always seems stoned out of her mind, looking around vacantly with glazed eyes, wearing that long hair from the 70s. There's silly Susan Cranley with her hair pulled back into a bun. She speaks in baby talk and is always wringing her hands and whining, "It's not for me, it's for the chiiiildren." Goofy "consultant" (read unemployed) Eileen Reed who thinks she's the plantation owner's wife, pontificating on her long years of experience ruining the school system and proud of it. Can't we get better people on the Board instead of these unaware clowns?

~~ In a related story, the Fishwrap and reporter Michael D. Clark hit new depths on Friday with their article poorly titled, "Board Member Disruptive," a slanted and biased “inciteful” article about yet another bizarre Mason Board of Education meeting. Jennifer Miller is a minority member on the board, standing under five feet tall and weighing less than a hundred pounds, not much of an intimidation or threat to anyone. The other four members of the Board represent the old guard, the worst of Old Mason politics and smoke-filled rooms. At every meeting, the Board majority takes a sick delight in constantly insulting and taunting Miller. This rudeness makes Mason look like someplace deep in crazy land. Isn't it time those four backroom politicians learned some basic manners?

~~ A commenter at the Fishwrap Friday wrote about the Failed Cincinnati Public Schools huge tax proposal: "How about all those sorority sisters of Rosa Blackwell who are highly paid but do very little or nothing? Get rid of them and the schools would do a lot better." Another wrote: "The Cincinnati Public Schools could balance their budget if they'd stop paying and fire all the non-productive non-working employees like John Robert Carlisle, the SCPA principal accused of rape, who sits at home drawing his huge salary every day.” It appears the Fishwrap's readers know a lot more than their reporters.

~~ Turner Construction Company just gave $10,000 to promote and support the huge tax proposal of the Failed Cincinnati Public Schools on the March 4 ballot. Turner isn't just a civic-minded business donating, oh no. Turner has a major business connection to the Schools and is building most of their new schools. Turner's contribution reeks of kickback and bribery to continue their lucrative business with the Schools. How shameful is that!

~~ In today’s Black History Moment, our Mallory Masher says we should add Joe Mallory to our group of Mendacious Mallorys Huggable Howard at the Fishwrap whitewashed. Word is Joe’s “public service” as an “Administrator at Hamilton County Board of Elections” is costing over-taxed payers a paltry $78,808/year. It’s totally a made-up patronage job to pay Joe and put him in a place to help control election results. This guy is in the right place to tilt votes in the Mallory family’s favor.

He breaks the law every time he campaigns. So does Great Living Cincinnatian William Senior who reviews election law violations on the Ohio Elections Commission. How convenient!

~~ Remember the wonderful idea Covington City leaders came up with to appoint an uneducated, untrained police chief as City Mangler? We’re still suffering from that bone head decision. (Wonder if he still pretends he's a Delta pilot to pick up chicks?) Anyway, now we have a police officer (but not much of one) running parks department, firemen running general services, both at almost double the salary the previous department heads were paid. And the city commission approved this. We are wondering if they may have had a collective stroke? (Megerle, that's a medical condition, not what you’re thinking)

~~ Since Bill Moller is leaving, why don't they appoint Bamberger as the assistant city manager? Then he wouldn't have to send all those e-mails. Enough madness! Combine those two departments and hire one person at a reasonable salary to run them both. Save the over-taxed payers some money.

~~ Our Concerned Citizen makes much the same point: If the Covington Police and Fire Departments can spare its assistant chiefs to run the park and public works departments, are these two positions really needed? Is it true that Lee “the Raven” Russo was glad to get rid of Mike “Krafty” Kraft? He said that all he ever did was walk the halls at the PD drinking coffee and smiling.

~~ Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane reminds all Northern Kentucky sci-fi and horror (pronounced "horr-or") fans to tune into Flashlight Theater on Insight Channel 22 Saturday night at the witching hour. Flashlight Theater is premiering the 1950's classic movie Flash Gordon and the Brain Mac hine. Kane also wants everyone to know that the episodes he stars in will start airing in the schedule within a couple of weeks. "The show is already a blockbuster . . . but my joining the cast elevates it to the status of C-L-A-S-S-I-C! blockbuster" Be sure to tune in!

~~ Speaking of our Beloved Publisher, he jumped on his Gulfstream G550 to jet to Naples, Florida yesterday to meet with “Mischievous Mike” Sadouskas and iconic actor and musician Jack Voet as soon as the beloved publisher of the Whistleblower Newswire received the news Foo Fighters' lead guitarist Dave Grohl joined them to contribute a rockin' tune to Flashlight Theater - The Musical titled 'lightin' To Fly. Stay tuned.

~~ Our Vanilla Hills Civic Club snitch we call “Longneck” reports that the knuckle-dragging barflies are buzzing at the good old Lodge on Lake Nutini . Rumor has it that the plea-bargaining embezzler “Sticky Fingers” Sparks has cooked up a great scheme with his papa. It seems the trillionaire Daddy Warsparks has convinced his son to perjure himself to keep outgoing civic club president Ed Nutini's corrupt ass out of the slammer. In exchange for lying under oath, Daddy Warsparks will shower his son with cash and prizes . . . once young Sticky Fingers finishes his sentence in the penitentiary, of course.

~~ Seems like Representative Dennis Keene from Wilder has hit a really sore nerve with his bill to freeze tuition and fee increases at Kentucky Colleges. One little known blog in Northern Kentucky had 59 responses and they were not praising Dr. Vortruba for the job he is doing. You Republican Legislators better get in line to co-sponsor this bill, or you may be replaced if you have a conservative Democrat like Mr. Keene running against you this year.

~~ Representative Dennis Keene is asking all the Conservative Republicans in Northern Kentucky to join with his elated Conservative DemocRAT constituents in asking the tax-and-spend Republicans in the House and Senate to join with him in legislation supporting a freeze on tuition and fee increases at that Hyper Inflation House known as KKU. Dennis said it is time the rich people of Kenton and Boone County join with the underclass of Campbell County in making it possible for an NKU student to pay off his student loans before their 90th birthday.

~~ Word has it that a very angry Northern Kentucky over-taxed payer plans on attending the open meeting to be held by the Northern Kentucky Legislative Caucus March 1 at the Erlanger City Building, with the intention of yelling out as the meeting begins that all persons in attendance that are on the public doll should exit so the over-taxed payers outside can come in and express that they believe the cuts in government should be equal to whatever our increase is in our water and sanitation bill. This should give us cuts of about 60%.

~~ It appears that Franklin County also has laid off some janitors that also filled in as snow plow drivers as the legislature had to take a snow day Thursday so they could get out of Frankfort before it closed down. It appears that this year’s salt budget has gone into the retirement and healthcare fund.

~~ The Blower has learned why most politicians in Kentucky are reluctant to do anything about the illegal immigration problem in Kentucky . It appears from recently released statistics that one in three people in the State either work for the State or rely on the State for their upkeep. If we deport the illegal residents, that number could jump to half.

~~ One of the uptight bitches in Ft. Mitchell wrote to our Kentucky Bureau Chief to ask if we get casino gambling in Kentucky, would that really mean we will have prostitution also? Ken’s answer was, “Lady when you pull that lever and three cherries come up, you don’t know what you will get.”

~~ An over-taxed payer from Belleview Bottoms (where the water quality of the Ohio River only has a few more good years) wrote The Blower to say he believes we need a new law to require all teachers, city, county and state employees to have snow tires on their cars so they can get to work. It’s bad enough that you have to get up early to get to work, but when you get a call that you have to come back to get your kids to one of your relative’s for the day, we have no sympathy for people after we’ve made two trips on the same roads they say are “impassable.”

~~ Senator Bitch McConnell says there’s no money in Washington to replace the Brent Spence Bridge . The voters of Kentucky should say there is a replacement in Kentucky to send to Washington to get that job done, if Bitch can’t.

~~ Dr. James Vortruba’s remedial math instructor will be holding a seminar for incoming freshman’s parents on how a 3 % decrease in funding can lead to a 30 % increase in tuition and fees and parking fees. A second class will be offered on how to live with a 1.5 % cost of living increase and still be able to pay tuition and fee increases of 350% over the five or six years it will take your child to graduate from NKU. The cost of each session will be $200.

~~ Ken CamBoo said he is amazed when he sees Barrack Obama stroll on stag and all those honkies start fainting whenever he says “We Believe.” Ken said they are really going to faint when on Inauguration he finishes that sentence by saying, “We Believe 13 % of the population can enslave the other 87%.”

~~ The CamBoozler says the reason so many people are overcome by the Obama phenomena is that most people do not attend church and have not experienced the feeling of being saved. Just wait until they go to the front of church and Obama tells them to bend over instead of bow down.

~~ Kentucky Senate President David Williams said Friday that it looks like the only way the House and Senate will agree to casino gambling is if all nine casinos are located in Northern Kentucky and all proceeds go the Frankfort . Mr. Williams said the people of Northern Kentucky will have to pay a toll to enter the casinos, to which the three Republican Judge Defectives of Northern said that seemed fair to them.

~~ An over-taxed payer from Northern Kentucky whose name appeared in the Fishwrap for non payment of taxes asked if the paper had seven pages of people listed for not paying their taxes, how thick will that Fiswrap be when their houses all go up for sale at the courthouse door?

~~ Several NKU senior students wrote the Blower to say they are sorry they made the trip to Frankfort this week to protest the cuts made in higher education. They said they didn’t realize that if there are tax increases to pay for the needs at the college they will be in the working world this year and will be paying those taxes. One student noted, it is one thing when Dr. Vatruba teaches you to beg as a freshman but as a senior it has consequences.

~~ In case anyone missed the letter in the Boone County Recorder last week from Steve Stevens of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce encouraging the legislature to vote to place additional taxes on their employees so more roads and bridges can be built and they can get to work on time, Steve submitted the same letter to the Fishwrap this week. Moises, Alfredo, Julio, and Jose said they will vote for that, as long as they can keep working for cash.

~~ The Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce YP group (formerly Legacy) is slipping from relevance these days. First, it increased the membership to a bloated and dysfunctional number, and then all the lady-killing studs that helped form and drive the female membership base (such as E> Rob Sanders, Ouday Edmondson, Shane “Smooth” Sidebottom, Derek “The Hammer” Humfleet, Matt “The Snake Charmer” Dietz, Chad “Nail ‘em AllL Dietz, and Darren “Blitzkrieg” Smith) all got married and quit showing up at the meetings.

~~ Local legal eagles are wondering when Eric “Call Me Crazy” Deters is going to lose his law license. First he calls Grant County Judge Steve “Hang ‘em High” Bates, who just happened to sanction him for $6,000, a “corrupt bastard” on his WLW Radio show (a violation of the Bar rules), he still has an appeal pending from Judge Stine in Campbell County for a $21,000 sanction for filing a frivolous lawsuit, and then he challenged Scarry Garry Edmondson to an official pistol duel on the radio to end their blood feud. And speaking of frivolous, don’t forget Eric’s recently filed attention-getting lawsuit against the New England Patriots over “Spygate.”

~~ The Crescent Springs-Vanilla Hills Fire Department Chief wants to assure City residents that even though the department cooks the fish for their annual fish fry in the ambulance garages, this is not the real reason the back of the ambulance always smells like fish.

~~ Patsy Crowley reported in his blog that one-third of all Kentuckians either work for the state, collect a pension form the state or are on welfare, to which the Commissioner of Education said, “Don’t forget me, four times.”
