Did ghiz really say "bull poppie" the other day? I swear she has the IQ of a third grader. If a grown woman of her age (42 maybe 45) can't figure out a way to express herself with words that don't make her sound like a child, then maybe she should think of a different line of work. It's no wonder her role models are jean schmidt and karl rove.

Why is Steve Chabot running for reelection in violation of his term limits pledge? In 1994 Chabot signed a term limits pledge to serve only six terms in the House. He is now seeking his seventh term.

Chabot claims that he never signed a pledge. If that is true, why doesn't he authorize US Term Limits and Americans for Term Limits to release any and all documents related to his term limit pledge. Of course he won't do that because it would just prove that he is a liar.

Its time to kick Steve Chabot and his dirty Abromoff money out.

Cincinnatians must be proud that the ever articulate Republicrat Councilwoman Leslie Ghiz coined the Ghizm "bull poopie" in the Enquirer to describe Mayor Mallory's hiring of a bodyguard. She should worry more about how SHE is causing a delay in the Banks project and SHE is voting to create special "disadvantaged business enterprises". Basically, if your business wants to work on the Banks, the sign reads "White European Males and Jews Need Not Apply".

Is it too late for not soon enough to be lame duck Congresswoman Jean Schmidt to hire another bus to take her supporters with her to D.C.?

As if supporting Jean isn't tough enough, being in the district when Mr. McEwen wins 55% -45% while the queen bee is hiding in D.C. just doesn't seem right.

Exactly what are you referring to in today's newspaper or blog that you consider biased. Quit complaining unless you can cite specifics.

specific--

How about listing duel residences for McEwen? Does no other candidate own more than one piece of property? I think not! It's a cheap shot.

Rulon's two articles on the front page of the Sunday Local section two weeks ago have never been matched with any articles on Shmidt's lies and reprimands by the OEC in the last three Sunday papers. A lot of people only get the Sunday paper, so this is VERY biased coverage! They should've put a retraction out on what Rulon wrote about Bob, too. But, this paper is obviously on the Schmidt campaign of deceit.

Also, Saturday's paper shows a pic of Jean at the podium, with Bob seated beside her looking uninterested. They've taken other nice pics of her to publish as well, but not so of Bob

3 Days until McEwen returns to DC.

No one can argue this point, win or lose he returns to DC. Either with his tail tucked between his legs or as a candidate to face a democrat this fall.
Either way I'm sure he will be scoping out his next political office or appointment.
I wonder if he is so wonderful, why he hasn't been appointed as ambassador or some other cabinet appointment???

Blossoms of Cincinnati
By: Peter A. Deane

You have that is which,
firm muscles and soft lips,
kisses always fresh,
love always true,
you're oh so blessed,
others wish they were you.

Enjoy the warm days and the warm nights.
Enjoy the music chiming romantic rhymes.
Enjoy the lovers tipsy with rainy day wines.
Enjoy the freedom of being naked and bare.
Enjoy the perfumes that fill the Cincinnati air.
Enjoy the summer singing with laughter and dares.

May your dreams remain grander then just a dream.
May your failures stay tiny and few and unknown to all but you.
May your faithful hearts remain dancing to the drumming rhythm of peace.
May your sacred seeds flow tranquil within the mighty wind of determined hope.
May love’s splendor find you as simply as the sun shines gleaming beautifully upon your face.

Rejoicing by a river’s edge,
Rejoicing in a garden’s bed,
Rejoicing through a sidewalk crack,
Rejoicing from a window ledge,
Rejoicing in a flower pot,
Rejoicing in a corner lot,
Rejoicing in a back yard,
Rejoicing in a front yard,
Rejoicing in a woodland,
Rejoicing in a hollow,
Rejoicing in a thicket,
Rejoicing on a hill.

Of all the flowers in the entire world,
Cincinnati blossoms are by far the most creative.

Concerning Leslie Ghiz:
Not that it matters....but on-line sources say that Leslie Ghiz is 36 years old... that her DOB is June 7, 1969.

Does it really matter? So she should have just said it was mere "Bull" that Mallory hired a bodyguard

Also...is the bodyguard "cute?" I think his name is Scott Johnson or something...a hard name to research

The Mexican government in Support of May 1st boycott for Illegals.
April 28, 2006, 12:50 AM EDT

MEXICO CITY -- Mexican lawmakers issued a declaration of support for immigrant protests planned in the United States on Monday and said they will send a delegation to Los Angeles to show their solidarity

Friday, February 3, 2006

Press Release | Los Pinos
President Fox told representatives of Hispanic communities in various parts of the United States that You can rest assured that on the Mexican side, we will not permit any distancing. We are going to continue working very closely with a country that is one of Mexicos partners, with which we get on very well and for which we feel a great deal of affection.

He urged them to pay attention to the migratory issue in the United States, specifically to the possibility of a migratory agreement that will protect the rights of those that work there and permit an orderly, legal and safe flow for the benefit of both countries.

And we will all have to work for this and not allow anyone to divide us, we must keep together to ensure that in the end, we have that migratory agreement, he added.

At the same time, representatives of this group told President Fox that LULAC will continue working with his administration to implement this issue.
http://presidencia.gob.mx/en/activities/order/?contenido=23309&pagina=1

Then why with these couple of things. Is Mike Dewine in Support of Illegals. Instead of American Citizens.
Don't let Mike Dewine tell you he is for Immigrants or at least Legal Immigrants. My wife is an Immigrant. Which to them, we couldn't even get them to write a letter to help? But Dewine will sponsor the Dream act to take money from Kids of Citizens and give it to illegals. Why is the Corporations that have the Biggest problems about them hiring Illegals? Are Dewines supporter. Add it up.

Vote Dewine out in the Primaries

I can't believe Leslie Ghiz has been acting so immature. It is like she tries to act like an airhead and people will think it is cute. Her performance this week on 700 WLW was embarassing. News flash... in high school dumb blond act may be cute. As a Councilwoman... it is a disgrace.

For the folks in the 2nd district, we need to make a decision....McEwen (experienced, polished, but a TRUE politician) or Kraus, (inexperienced, but a quick learner and willing to go the extra mile for the district) and certainly NOT Schmidt. She has embarrassed us in the district, has proven she really does not know WHAT her people need or want (and btw has everyone forgotten how she "crashed" the Reds opening day parade). We need to decide if we want the slick former politician back in Congress, or the newbie, who is willing to give it her all to work FOR the district. I see a choice to be made, 1) NO Schmidt, and 2) Kraus or McEwen. My vote is for one of the latter candidates...Certainly NOT for Schmidt

Mr. Weiser and Enquirer blogs webmaster:

Suggestion box - Why not have a regular Sunday open thread with no moderator approval of posts? An open thread free for all keeps things livelier and easier for posters to engage in real time back and forth.

I can appreciate why the Enq's regular blogs are moderated, but the Sunday open thread could be a reasonable exception.

Here we are, less than 36 hours before the polls open, and Mrs. Schmidt and her backers have no argument but to continuously try to smear Bob McEwen. There are no straight answers as to why she voted to raise taxes in Columbus; why she slandered Congressman Murtha in Washington; why she wants to send America's young women into combat; why she won't give straight answers at Forums; why she would hire Bill Clinton's biggest booster in Southern Ohio--a lawyer whose ethics are beyond merely controversial--to file frivoulous publicity seeking law suits to divert attention from the real issues?

While Bob McEwen was one of the leading Conservative Congressmen during the Reagan days, Mrs. Schmidt made Saturday Night Live as a Continental Joke. While Bob McEwen is not afraid to criticize Republican mistakes, Mrs. Schmidt treads water, careful not to offend those who, frankly, need criticism. Do we want a "yes" girl, who cannot articulate, or a statesman?

Bob McEwen knows his way around the Beltway--he can get things done--but he puts traditional American principles above partisan politics. As a lifelong Conservative, I can hardly wait to have his brand of traditional American values, again in Washington. I am proud that he is a fellow Ohioan. Thank God--and I write it with the utmost reverence--that we still have men in Ohio like Bob, willing to come forward and serve!

Kudos the Enquirer for printing a letter to the editor attacking Congresswoman Schmidt penned by McEwen campaign staffer Kevin Pick.

Nothing like a little astroturfing by the McEwen folks to gin up a few more fraudulent votes. Right now, no one knows how few people in the second district will vote for McEwen, but we do know that he has at least one vote from Virginia.

O.K. "anonymous," sign your name when you charge someone with fraud, so that we can hold you accountable. Otherwise peddle your smears among those in mental wards, who might find them convincing.

If you had an argument, you might try to make it. Having no legitmate argument, all you can do is rehash disproven lies.

In this, you put your self in the moral camp of Mrs. Schmidt's Clinton boosting attorney, who passed out his card in the makeshift morgue after the Beverly Hills fire.

"a few more fraudulent votes"

Give it a rest I am voting and so are alot of people so don't call my vote and others a "fraudulent vote" Lets see the OEC came back 4-0 in 10 minutes saying that the complaint about Bob's residency was not even worth the time of the full commission. Then the democratic lawyer files a bogus lawsuit as a political stunt. Funny that lawsuit was gone a few hours after it was filed. If Jean really felt she had something with "fraudulent voting" she could have filed something with the Hamilton County Board of Elections. She did not. Why because there is not fraud. This is just a ploy and a political stunt by the Schmidt people. They yell "fraud" and "residency" when the OEC and the courts have said it is not an issue.
Bob is the man for this job. He has the experience and will not go off like a crazy person on the house floor. Jean not only does not have the knowledge or respect of those in DC to get the job done but she also does not have her emotions in check. We say where her emotions and lack of thought got her and the 2nd district with her cut and run comments that were delievered by someone who looked like they were losing it.

She is a tax raiser. She lied about too many things to list and above all she is just not a good congresswoman. We can settle for sub par or we can put Bob in there to restore our place in congress. And above all have someone there that can get things done for this district and not make us look like fools.

And once again to call my vote "fraudulent" is an insult to me and all of the McEwen voters. You can vote fo whichever canidate you want but don't put down a group of people like that. Typical Schmidt tactics.

Hey Miami Shores...

Perhaps Mallory has been getting other threats we don't know about, so I have no problem with his body guard. If Ghiz or any other councilmember felt the need for bodyguards, I would be fine with that.
As far as one individual doing the job instead of rotating, it makes more sense to have one person do the job. He would become familiar with who should be there or not and the routine of the mayor and therefore do a better job.
I prefer to give the benefit of the doubt to the Mayor until I hear otherwise. Jumping to conclusions without details is "bull poopie".

Anonymous--still without the basic guts or decency to sign his name to his personal attacks on the McEwens, and now on my self--suggests that I would operate on the same level as Chesley or Schmidt.

Sir, you find any place in my career as a lawyer, where I ever chased an ambulance, much less raced the hearses out of the State; anytime, when I ever filed a spurious suit, which I withdrew mere hours later; anytime, when I accepted employment from an individual client, and then converted that client's case into a Class Action spectacle!

Tomorrow, honor and truth are going to be vindicated in the 2nd District, and all the anonymous smears, will be rebuked.

I have a recommendation that will remove the entire Bush cabal from office sooner than January 2009.

Everyone must demand from their media outlets and their Congress and Senate members a NEW, COMPHREHENSIVE and PUBLIC investigation into the 9-11 attacks. Word of mouth is what will bring about change.

For more information...

On the morning of 9-11, CNN’s reporter Jamie McIntyre reports from in front of the Pentagon and states “From my close-up inspection, there’s no evidence of a plane having crashed any where near the Pentagon”.
Video Source: http://thewebfairy.com/911/pentagon/index.html

According to FOX News at the crash site of Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA, the reporter states that “It looks like there’s nothing there except for a whole in the ground”.
Video Source: http://thewebfairy.com/911/93/hole.htm

CBS News' Dan Rather showed the collapse of World Trade Center building #7 live at around 5:30 p.m. on 9-11-01 and immediately remarked "This is reminiscent of when a building is deliberately destroyed by well-paced dyamite to knock it down"".

"The Truthiness Hurts"

Stephen Colbert's brilliant performance unplugged the Bush myth machine -- and left the clueless D.C. press corps gaping.

By Michael Scherer

May. 01, 2006 | Make no mistake, Stephen Colbert is a dangerous man -- a bomb thrower, an assassin, a terrorist with boring hair and rimless glasses. It's a wonder the Secret Service let him so close to the president of the United States.

But there he was Saturday night, keynoting the year's most fawning celebration of the self-importance of the D.C. press corps, the White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Before he took the podium, the master of ceremonies ominously announced, "Tonight, no one is safe."

Colbert is not just another comedian with barbed punch lines and a racy vocabulary. He is a guerrilla fighter, a master of the old-world art of irony. For Colbert, the punch line is just the addendum. The joke is in the setup. The meat of his act is not in his barbs but his character -- the dry idiot, "Stephen Colbert," God-fearing pitchman, patriotic American, red-blooded pundit and champion of "truthiness." "I'm a simple man with a simple mind," the deadpan Colbert announced at the dinner. "I hold a simple set of beliefs that I live by. Number one, I believe in America. I believe it exists. My gut tells me I live there."

Then he turned to the president of the United States, who sat tight-lipped just a few feet away. "I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound -- with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world."

It was Colbert's crowning moment. His imitation of the quintessential GOP talking head -- Bill O'Reilly meets Scott McClellan -- uncovered the inner workings of the ever-cheapening discourse that passes for political debate. He reversed and flattened the meaning of the words he spoke. It's a tactic that cultural critic Greil Marcus once called the "critical negation that would make it self-evident to everyone that the world is not as it seems." Colbert's jokes attacked not just Bush's policies, but the whole drama and language of American politics, the phony demonstration of strength, unity and vision. "The greatest thing about this man is he's steady," Colbert continued, in a nod to George W. Bush. "You know where he stands. He believes the same thing Wednesday that he believed on Monday, no matter what happened Tuesday."

It's not just that Colbert's jokes were hitting their mark. We already know that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that the generals hate Rumsfeld or that Fox News lists to the right. Those cracks are old and boring. What Colbert did was expose the whole official, patriotic, right-wing, press-bashing discourse as a sham, as more "truthiness" than truth.

Obviously, Colbert is not the first ironic warrior to train his sights on the powerful. What the insurgent culture jammers at Adbusters did for Madison Avenue, and the Barbie Liberation Organization did for children's toys, and Seinfeld did for the sitcom, and the Onion did for the small-town newspaper, Jon Stewart discovered he could do for television news. Now Colbert, Stewart's spawn, has taken on the right-wing message machine.

In the late 1960s, the Situationists in France called such ironic mockery "détournement," a word that roughly translates to "abduction" or "embezzlement." It was considered a revolutionary act, helping to channel the frustration of the Paris student riots of 1968. They co-opted and altered famous paintings, newspapers, books and documentary films, seeking subversive ideas in the found objects of popular culture. "Plagiarism is necessary," wrote Guy Debord, the famed Situationist, referring to his strategy of mockery and semiotic inversion. "Progress demands it. Staying close to an author's phrasing, plagiarism exploits his expressions, erases false ideas, replaces them with correct ideas."

But nearly half a century later, the ideas of the French, as evidenced by our "freedom fries," have not found a welcome reception in Washington. The city is still not ready for Colbert. The depth of his attack caused bewilderment on the face of the president and some of the press, who, like myopic fish, are used to ignoring the water that sustains them. Laura Bush did not shake his hand.

Political Washington is accustomed to more direct attacks that follow the rules. We tend to like the bland buffoonery of Jay Leno or insider jokes that drop lots of names and enforce everyone's clubby self-satisfaction. (Did you hear the one about John Boehner at the tanning salon or Duke Cunningham playing poker at the Watergate?) Similarly, White House spinmeisters are used to frontal assaults on their policies, which can be rebutted with a similar set of talking points. But there is no easy answer for the ironist. "Irony, entertaining as it is, serves an almost exclusively negative function," wrote David Foster Wallace, in his seminal 1993 essay "E Unibus Pluram." "It's critical and destructive, a ground clearing."

So it's no wonder that those journalists at the dinner seemed so uneasy in their seats. They had put on their tuxes to rub shoulders with the president. They were looking forward to spotting Valerie Plame and "American Idol's" Ace Young at the Bloomberg party. They invited Colbert to speak for levity, not because they wanted to be criticized. As a tribe, we journalists are all, at heart, creatures of this silly conversation. We trade in talking points and consultant-speak. We too often depend on empty language for our daily bread, and -- worse -- we sometimes mistake it for reality. Colbert was attacking us as well.

A day after he exploded his bomb at the correspondents dinner, Colbert appeared on CBS's "60 Minutes," this time as himself, an actor, a suburban dad, a man without a red and blue tie. The real Colbert admitted that he does not let his children watch his Comedy Central show. "Kids can't understand irony or sarcasm, and I don't want them to perceive me as insincere," Colbert explained. "Because one night, I'll be putting them to bed and I'll say ... 'I love you, honey.' And they'll say, 'I get it. Very dry, Dad. That's good stuff.'"

His point was spot-on. Irony is dangerous and must be handled with care. But America can rest assured that for the moment its powers are in good hands. Stephen Colbert, the current grandmaster of the art, knows exactly what he was doing.

Just don't expect him to be invited back to the correspondents dinner

Hello,
I am having trouble with my Internet explorer.It is doing some very odd things.Sometimes it will completely close the page i am visiting for no reason or it will be very slow loading pages and when i say slow i mean very very very slow for eg i tried to google something and after 10 minutes of the page trying to load i gave up.I thought that it was perhaps the topic i was searching so i tried putting in random things to see if that made any difference but it didn't.Another problem i had was when i was on a forum and clicked on a link and nothing happened i tried to open a new tab and that wouldn't work either and it would let me access any options that are in my tools menu.i had to restart my computer.Just to let you know i have high speed Internet connection.Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me with this problem.
