Hurley the Historian says today’s the historic date (March 15, 44 BCE) when Roman Emperor Julius Caesar ignored his soothsayer's warning and went to work that day anyway, whereupon all of his closest cronies stabbed him in the back, and the front, and just about every other place on his body.

Today, the Ides of March is Political Backstabbers Day, celebrated as a national holiday by Political Backstabbers and Backstabees (most elected officials are both), as well as people who knife you in the back just to get ahead and people in politics you once thought were your friends. We know who all of you are, and more importantly, you all know that we know who all of you are. Maybe that’s why Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane always sits with his back to the wall at lunch with a big backstabber on March 15.

This year Former Hamilton County Party Boss George Vincent (who resigned in disgrace) and local Demo-Labor Party Boss Tim Burka made a deal for their candidates not to stab each other in the back, but at the Green Township Republican Club meeting on Wednesday night, incoming local GOP Party Boss Judge Alex Triantafilou’s (pronounced Alex) neither criticized nor defended the deal, and said he shouldn't break a deal cut by a former Chairman who’d chosen him as his successor.

In Northern Kentucky , everybody’s wondering why Miss Vicki is having an Ides of March Party tonight, instead of her customary more traditional St. Patrick's Day Party on Monday. Don’t forget, it’s BYOK (Bring Your Own Knives).

Flashlight Theater head writer and producer Mischievous Mike Sadouskas says they’ll be featuring “Backstabbers from Outer Space” Saturday night at midnight on Insight Channel 22.

And what’s the best part about the Ides of March on March 15? Bobby Leach says it’s because it means BB&BJ Day on March 20 is only five days away.

Now it’s time for Our Beloved Whistleblower Motto (Let’s all say it together). Because wherever there's corruption, we'll be there. Wherever there's injustice, we'll be there. And wherever there's a bunch of big guys beating up on a little guy, we'll be there too...holding the little guy down so you can stab him in the back.

Some of our subscribers, especially those on our Special Insiders List, say that despite the protestations of the Blower Editorial Board that today’s edition exemplifies the very best of subtle journalism, that the publisher either tied one on last night or just got a great case of the lazys this morning. Et tu, you bastards!
