The Blower’s Week in Review
=
What=
a busy
week it’s been for The Blower. And as usual, we have our top three
stories:
Our number one story this week w=
as
Obama’s Silly Surge & Withdrawal Strategery for Afghanistan. No wonder =
our
allies are confused.
Our Commander-in-Chief Wannabe's
Afghanistan war speech contained 4,582 words and not one of them was “victo=
ry.”
So The Blower explained Obama’s Afghan Plan was
like doing the Hokey Pokey: “You put your right foot in, you take your right
foot out, you put your right foot in and you shake it all about, you do the
Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around, and that’s what’s it’s all about.=
”
A cheering crowd greeted former Republican vice
presidential candidate Sarah Palin at Fort Hood in Texas on Friday. Imagine=
her
welcome if she’d showed up at West Point during Obama’s Surrender Speech.
&n=
bsp;
Our Second Biggest Story this we=
ek was
about Obama’s “historic” and “unprecedented” Jobs Summit at the White
House.
We thought we’d be finding out where all those jobs a=
re
Obama’s been claiming his Stimulus Boondoggle created.
But what a joke that event was. This guy couldn’t even
hold a meeting with hand-picked attendees without a teleprompter.
How pitiful was it when he said, “I really don’t know
what to do, so if anybody out there has any ideas, please let us know.”
=
;
=
And our Third Biggest Story this=
week
was the Trials and Tribulations of Tiger Woods.
All those Tiger Woods jokes just=
keep
on coming, like “Elin found out he’s not a Tiger, he’s a Cheetah.”
And what would all our dumbed-down, self-absorbed, media-influenced,
celebrity-obsessed, politically-correct uninformed short-attention-span vie=
wers
do without their latest Celebrity Cheating Scandal?
We’re still trying to figure out what it is about all
those Political Philanderers and Celebrity Cheaters. Whistleblower Gossip
Columnist Linda Libel says peccadilloes in politics and the media have kept=
The
Blower in business for the past 18 years. And just wait till you hear t=
he
identity of Linda’s next “Political Philanderer.” Quisling Charlie says, “I=
t’s
not me this time. Honest.”

MONDAY<=
span
style=3D'font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> in our “Below
the Beltway” E-dition, we presented “Views from the Right,” along with =
our
Eight Point Plan to Fix Congress, the “Cash for Codgers Program,” and we
offered some helpful advice on the best way t=
o help
the U.S. economy by spending your stimulus payments wisely. We also
announced The Blower was incurring no expense whatsoever on Wednesday, the
day before Obama’s hand-job summit, by inviting Newt Gingrich to Cincinnati=
to
take part in a town hall meeting at the Netherland Plaza Hotel to help us
promote real solutions for job creation and economic growth.
And if that wasn’t enough, we published a special “Holiday
Confusion” E-dition, where we wished everybody a “Merry Chrismukkah” an=
d a &=
quot;Happy
RamaHanuKwanzMas.”

/span>TUESDAY
Disingenuous DemocRATS in the U.S. Senate said they w=
ere
already debating Harry Reid’s bogus “Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act’’ (that hides a $1.8 Trillion price =
tag
by not accounting for actual costs, features major reductions in Medicare ben=
efits
to seniors, =
and
major tax increases on every American to pay for it all with an increased
Medicare payroll tax.)
Devious DemocRAT Hamilton County Commissi=
oner
David A. Pepper said, “Please don’t remind people about my promise on a sta=
ck
of Bibles to
vote against any future property tax rollbacks, especially next year during=
my
full-time campaign for Ohio Auditor.”
And Cincinnati City Mangler Milton Dohoney begged us not to remind people how he’d announced=
that to balance the budget, 315 =
City
of Cincinnati employees were scheduled to get the axe, just in time for the
holidays.
=
; WEDNESDAY in our “Tale
of Two Crashers” E-dition, we featured Obama’s Tabloid TV Wannabe Party Crasher=
s.
How was it that only few days after that Murdering Mu=
slim
Madman shouted “Allahu Akbar!” (Arabic for “God is great!”) and opened fire,
killing 13 American soldiers and wounding 30 others during Fort Hood’s 9/11=
did
an uninvited couple with names like “Tareq and Michaele Salahi” get past the
Secret Service on their way to meet the president?
Hereabouts, everybody was still talking about our Deluded DemocRATS’ “Knockout Party” on Monday night, where the Oh= io DemocRAT Party explained its delusional “winning strategy for 2010.” <= o:p>
Many people were surprised that Anti-Ta=
xers
at the Cincinnati 9/12 Project were actually following The Blower’s
advice and putting up their own candidates in key local races, like Matt Burke, their candidate in O=
hio’s
21st Congressional District.
Meanwhile, down at the Plum Street Playpen, over-taxed
payers paid for Dainty DemocRAT Mayor Mark Mallory and our Nine Fine Clowns=
to
spent the entire day congratulating themselves on being elected. It’s not a=
s if
they had anything else important to do.

THURSDAY,<=

Reaganomics 101 says reduced taxes spur jobs and
investment.
Controlled government spending favors entrepreneurs o=

Reduced regulation and litigation produce jobs and cr=

wealth.
And if the goal is more “jobs,” both history and the
opinions of American business people couldn't be more clear: More economic
freedom works, more government doesn't.

wondered when’s the last time our two-time “Turkey of the Year A=
ward”
Winner Alex T., Mall Cop GOP at “all-Blue” Hamilton County RINO Party
Headquarters invited John Kasich for a visit? You all remember John Kasich
folks, he’s the guy running for governor as a Republican in 2010.
Not only that, everybody who rea=
lized
local Republicans got exactly what they deserved on Election Day in 2006, 2=
007,
2008, and 2009, but were not quite sure how they could ever correct their
mistakes before the 2010 and 2012 elections, e-mailed an entry to the
Whistleblower Limerick Contest.
Is there help for the old GOP?

; SATURDAY
But if part-time workers who want full-time jobs and
laid-off workers who have given up looking for jobs were included, the
“underemployment rate” would now be 17.2 percent.
No wonder House Republican Leader John Boehner, said
anyone who celebrates today's report "is out of touch with the American
people."
Several people e-mailed The Blower to complain
about the “Wh=
istleblower
Snowball Fight Video,” where Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Fo=
ster
Kane and Newt are teamed up against the local RINOs. They just couldn’t bel=
ieve
that as cold as it is during a snowball fight, Party Boss Alex T., Mall Cop
GOP’s face wasn’t “Blue.”
Then, of course, there was that little bit of hype ab=
out
UC Football Coach Brian Kelly going to Notre Dame after the fifth-rated
Bearcats wound up with a perfect 12-0 season, after winning the Big East Ti=
tle
outright and then going on to win the BCS national championship. And that w=
as
before their dramatic comeback win in Pittsburgh in spite of three
interceptions, a missed field goal and a missed extra point. Maybe Brian Ke=
lly
can coach both UC and Notre Dame next year.
In Northern Kentucky, Bluegrass =
Bureau
Chief Ken CamBoo said hot topics at Graydon Head and Ritchey’s annual holid=
ay
party at the Fort Mitchell Country Club Wednesday night was not what was be=
ing
said about people who were there as much as what was being said about people
who weren’t.
We missed seeing Patsy Crowley and Jay Faucet passing=
out
their patented Cougar Rating Buttons. It’s too bad they just didn’t make the
cut.
The Whistleblower Web Poll said people you most often see at Politician=
s'
Christmas parties are really drunk freeloaders.
Eric “Call Me Crazy” Deters was the butt of many joke=
s,
and so was the fact that the Deters-owned Drawbridge Hotel and now it’s in
receivership.
Long-time Whistleblower favorite Senator “BeanBall Jim” Bunning m=
issed
this year’s party for the first time since anybody can remember, but one of=
the
guys wanting his job showed up. Trey Grayson stood mostly alone in the midd=
le
of the room for several hours expecting everybody to come up and kiss his a=
ss.
Don’t candidates know how to work a room anymore?
We’re sure Grayson’s opponent Rand Paul didn’t make t=
he
same mistake at his events on Friday and Saturday. Maybe that’s why Rand sa=
ys
he believes he can beat Secretary of State Trey Grayson in the May primary,
even on his home turf in Boondoggle County.
And several people complained they couldn’t find the
30-feet Shrimp Buffet they’d seen advertised in The Blower, but our
Charles Foster Kane didn’t seem to have any trouble finding it. “It was on =
the
same table as the lobster,” our Beloved Publisher explained.
<=
span
style=3D'mso-tab-count:1'> And as we wrap up another soap o=
pera
kind of week in Washington, our Quote for Today Committee can only summarize
the week's events by quoting James Madison from Letter #10 of "The Fed=
eralist
Papers," when he said, "Enlightened statesman will not always be =
at
the helm." Come to think of it this would make a great theme to focus =
on
the need to make changes for the 2010 elections.

At yesterday’s meeting of the
Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were asking Beloved Whistleblower
Publisher Charles Foster Kane about
Saturday’s E-dition, when we reported our good friend
Jerry Dowling would be signing copies of both of his books “Drawing Pete” and “Drawing Super Wars” at
Findlay Market, and we asked what was Jerry’s most famous illustration (in
terms of the number of times it’s been published or the total number of peo=
ple
who’ve see it).
Well, back in October of 1990, our recently dearly
departed buddy Jim Knippenberg needed an illustration for another feature s=
tory
about his all-time favorite publication and fellow former Fishwrapper Jerry
Dowling came up with this classic, which of course we swiped and used for o=
ur
“Mr. Whistle” that has appeared at the top of each and every one of our
millions of Whistleblowers seen ever since.
That would make our “Mr. Whistle”
Jerry’s most seen illustration, that is unless he sold an awful lot of his =

Rose books at Findlay Market yesterday. =
