~~ And if you think that’s outrageous, the League of Women Vipers unceremoniously cancelled the Congressional Forum that had been advertised for Thursday’s event because of Mean Jean’s AWOL status. “TaxKiller Tom” Brinkman and Icky Vicky Wulsin both showed up after having been promised time to speak, but all they got for their time and trouble was their names mentioned. Is the League of Women Vipers a bunch of totally worthless biased bitches or what!

Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1825 the U.S. House of Representatives voted to elect John Quincy Adams (who won fewer votes than Andrew Jackson in the popular election) as president of the United States . In Washington , our DC Newsbreaker says Congressional approval rates now equal their all time low of 22%. Who says Congressional elections aren’t important!

~~ Our Quote for Today Committee chose Lewis Black’s “A Republican stands up in Congress and says 'I GOT A REALLY BAD IDEA!!' and the DemocRAT stands up after him and says 'AND I CAN MAKE IT SHITTIER!!'”

~~ Our Wulsin Watcher says Ditzy DemocRAT Icky Vicky Wulsin (Millionaire-Indian Hill) has given herself several name changes during the last few years, as the wind blows. Before she decided to dabble in politics she always called herself and signed documents as "Victoria Wells" through 2004. During her first losing run for office in 2005, she began calling herself "Victoria Wells Wulsin." Beginning in 2006, she now calls herself “Vic Wulsin.” Whichever name she calls herself, she's still a perennial political loser and has never held any elected political office whatsoever. It doesn't matter whether she loses by two votes or by 2,000, she's still a loser.

~~ Yesterday The Blower got the notice that Republican-turned-DemocRAT Steve Black had suspended his campaign for six days because of the death of his father and we respectfully decided to discontinue any mention of the candidate during that period out of consideration for the family. Not so for Feckless Fishwrapper Maya Ruin. Her big story had a photo of the candidate on the front page of Friday’s local section. There was no respect for the dead there. Have they no decency? At long last, have they no sense of decency?

~~ With only 24 more days till Ohio’s Congressional Primary Elections on March 4, in that snoozer campaign for “TaxKiller Tom” Brinkman’s term-limited 34th District Ohio House Seat, the good news is we finally saw one of Anderson Trustee “In Russ We Trust” Jackson’s yard signs. The bad news is it was placed in front of the Cunningham Funeral Home on Beechmont. The Russler hopes that’s not an omen.

~~ Our Angry Andersonian says a number of employees at one Forrest Gump elementary school are so fed-up with the principal and how that person treats the staff, that they are considering a job action. Some teachers have a lot of sick time built up and it is the flu season. Cough, cough, some are feeling ill already. This principal is not doing their job, since most of the work is being performed by other senior staff members. Apparently this principal is taking out their frustration on the staff because they did not get a promotion to some other cake-walk administration job. If Stuperintendent Putzwald does not take care of the problem, or if this principal does not retire soon, many of the staff are considering leaving over the summer for other positions outside the district. Parents are also starting to complain to the teachers about how this principal talks down to them. You don't want to upset the staff and the parents before you ask for some big monster new tax levy. Putzwald has a big decision: one principal who lives outside the district or the loyalty of the staff and parents when it comes to the big tax levy. What will it be, the principal or the people? Oh, since the principal is not doing the job, getting rid of that person would save the over-taxed payers a lot of money.

~~ Also in Anderson with today’s Black History Moment, yesterday’s Whistleblower Limerick Contest winner Wigger Whiteass wonders why the Forest Hills Super Duper Kroger store have a huge photo of MLK on a stand in the meat department? Am we supposed to be having a "Dream" of chitins for dinner or fried chicken?

~~ We wonder if Ben Fischer of the Fishwrap will tell us the true story of what happens at the Failed Cincinnati Public $chools retreat which takes place Friday and Saturday. After the Blower publicized the plans of the Bored of Education to hold the retreat at a plush resort, it was thereafter re-scheduled instead to the Bored offices and the masseuses and lavish caterers with their trays of caviar and shrimp were rerouted there. Over-taxed payers want to know why the Bored feels a need to hold a "retreat," anyway. Haven't they retreated from the public enough as it is? Is it just an excuse for more gaiety and frivolity on their part, as usual? Will Ben Fischer be one of the boy toys at the retreat?

~~ Failed Cincinnati Public $chools Treasurer Jonathan L. Boyd likes to misrepresent and withhold information. On a resume he submitted, he claimed an Associate two-year certificate in "Accounting" from Clark Technical College in Springfield OH . His certificate was in "Applied Business," not accounting. He finally got a four-year college degree at the age of 40. But the degree was in business administration, not in school finance, from a school with just 900 students. He is not even a certified public accountant. And this is the crack head financial person the FCPS hired at $150,000 a year? Why didn't reporters at the Fishwrap bother to check Boyd's information? Whistleblower Truth Squad Investigative Reporter Fearless Ferrett did.

~~ In Columbus, Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says according to the Tribune Chronicle (Mahoning Valley’s First Online Newspaper) Republican Ohio House Speaker Jon Husted questioned Thursday whether the state can borrow its way to prosperity after the Gayvenor proposed borrowing $1.7 billion for an economic stimulus package.

~~ Local Kneepad Liberals are whining that Cincinnati’s Dainty DemocRAT Mayor Mark Mallory’s State of the City blather didn’t include finding a way to piss away more over-taxed payers’ money to the arts. How could somebody whose family has benefited so greatly by their so-called “public service” have forgotten that?

~~ Word has it that groups that are asking for State Funds from the Regional Chamber of Commerce will all be turned down. The "leaders" want to use all the state funds, earmarked for SW OHIO projects, for a J~A~I~L.

~~ Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken Camboo says a Northern Kentucky sixth grader wrote the Blower to ask if she gets more sick time and vacation then a first grader does. She said she wanted the clarification after reading in the Fishwrap on Thursday that according to the top man in the Department of Education who is also from Northern Kentucky , that what appears to be most important in the Department of Education is how many days you have off and not how many days you actually attend school.

~~ The longer the new Governor serves the Commonwealth, the better the former Governor Ernest looks. In Thursday’s Fishwrap it was reported that one of Ernest’s office staffers was fired because he went to serve his country in the U.S. Air National Guard. Governor Ernest never fired a person who went to serve his country and would never have done something like that. It appears more and more like the only people the new Governor is interested in securing jobs for are prostitutes and Black Jack Dealers.

~~ Somebody who has it in for Columbia-Sussex says owner Bill Yung should clean up his own yard before starting to mess in another town. Ask all the Union workers at the Tropicana in Atlantic City . He came in there and brought the casino and hotel, and after promising the Union workers that they would be keeping their jobs, he turned around and laid off 300 plus Union workers to save money. Is that why the Commission didn’t renew their license, and why Columbia Sussex now has to sell the casino there?

~~ Our C-S Critic also says the Sheraton Airport is running in the red too. He turned his back on Delta while they were having their problems and told the employees not to accept any passengers from Delta who were in need of a room after their flights had canceled. That’s why our snitch is urging people to get all Columbia Sussex ’s promises in writing.

~~ An Irish resident in Boone County wrote the Blower to ask how come in October when we have Oktoberfest everyone wants to be German, but we don’t get that same feeling in February.

~~ Ken CamBoo said now that Mitt Romney has dropped out of the race and we’re pretty sure Ron Paul’s three votes still leaves him 1189 short, it looks like the people at GOPAC have decided to open their arms up to Senator McCain. Ken said he isn’t falling for that speech McCain gave again. The people in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky have heard speeches like that since the mid 90s, and look what we got with it. We have three Judge Executives who are willing to give our State and Federal gas taxes away and ask the people of Northern Kentucky to accept taxes imposed on us by unelected officials because our elected officials do not have the balls to place that tax on us. We have legislators who want to pass laws that force over-taxed payers to build trails for people on bicycles and horses along side any new road built. We see them appropriate money for skating parks and dog parks with the money that should have been set aside for State and Local Employees Pension and salt to put on the highway when we get an inch of snow instead of canceling school. We see representatives give a pass to the President’s State of the Union Speech to a DemocRAT instead of having a Disabled Veteran represent her State. Ken said it is time to sit back and let those Damn DemocRAT see if they can straighten up the mess they and the RINOs have created. Then we will do like we did in the 90s and find Republicans who are conservative and will stand up to the Clintons except this time. Somewhere there must be a few Republicans who will stick to their principles.

~~ Ken CamBoo said after reading in the morning newspaper that now gets blown around the neighborhood because it only contains about three pages, that the Judge Defective from Campbell County does not understand why he is not getting any money from the new Governor. Ken said it could be a matter of loyalty. The new Governor saw how you threw Ernest under the bus and he isn’t going to let that happen to him. Ken said let’s face it, the only way Northern Kentucky is going to get anything is to get rid of all those so called Republicans.

~~ Finally, there has been a bill filed in the Legislature that would ban editorial writers from the legislative chambers. Our Frankfort Bureau Chief said he can’t wait to see which Northern Kentucky Legislators vote for that one.
