Mmmmm.... Cheetos

City Council candidate Sean Holbrook turned Tuesday's discussion at City Hall about punishments for pot usage into a commercial for Holbrook.

Or rather his campaign spokesman did.

Dave Rothfuss promised all campaign events would offer plenty of ice cream and Cheetos for any "potheads" in attendance.

This is the guy who also made a video in which he sings that all media questions about the Holbrook campaign will be answered in song. In the video, he wears a straw cowboy hat and a T-shirt that says Amateur Porn Star.

Is this the same Pothead that the wRong wingnut whacko party claimed to be unstable and shell-shocked ?

Now, Holbrook speaks for the fundamentalist fanatics Potheads when formally he condemned them ?

He has flip-flopped with the wRong wingnut whackos so much that he has become the poster-boy for the elimination of oats and cream !

PATHETIC !

HAD ENOUGH, VOTE DEMOCRAT 2007 !

I'm glad this was posted. I watched the meeting on cable and Holbrook's "manager" wasted time on the floor that could have been used by a speaker who wasn't trippin. He looked and sounded ridiculous. Holbrook claims on his website that he himself has a disability. He looked pretty able bodied when he spoke. I realize there are disabilities that aren't readily apparent but I'm still curious as to what Holbrook's referring to.

"Why on earth are you giving this guy any press?"

Why not, everytime I see Berding, get press it makes me sick. Like it or not, this is America and we have more choices than Republicans and Democrats.

Just because my style of politics doesn't ring your bell, doesn't mean I should get any kind of coverage good or bad. Hell, where were the other candidates at that meeting? I think 910-23 is a big deal and I am shocked I was the only one who showed up for the measure (unless Patton decides to run again). It goes far beyond pot, and is a terrible waste of resources.

When your dealing with someone like myself, who is working with the "Social Ironist Party" you might want to take yourselves a little less seriously. Im trying to poke fun and the spectacle modern politics have become, by embodying all the horrible characteristics most modern politicians try so hard to hide.

Im going to flip-flop often, im going to be a womanizer, illegal contributions? bring them on. Hell, I'll even walk through a poor community for a photo opportunity sporting a 2000 dollar suit, then have the nerve to say I know what the people of the community are going through.
Because that is what people have come to expect from their politicians. So i'll give it to them in sickeningly large doses... If sickeningly is even a word.

Also for the record, I don;t smoke pot, I hate it. It makes me panicky and paranoid.

Disability... why does it matter what it is? I have been through years of therapy for my disability to get back to the point i am at, so I take the lack-of-belief as a compliment and a true sign of recovery.

Ok I lied, it's not a disability, I'm just addicted to sniffing glue.

Thanks for the coverage, Jane, I'd love to buy some more sometime soon.

You forgot to mention in your post that we also called upon the Corporations of America to sponsor the Holbrook Campaign and the Social Ironist Party. We all know that politics in this country can be bought and sold, so why not be self-reflective about it?

And anonymous, I'd be sorry for wasting all that precious time at the meeting, but that would create a double negative by wasting time at a waste of time. Honestly, it's a real cute little facade of a democracy we have here - 50+ people show up to oppose the ordinance, no one argues in its favor, yet the council ignores everyone and passes it, even though statistics show that didn't work.

Read our blog. There you can find sponsorship information and learn the truth about Holbrook-mania, the revolution that's sweeping across the nation and making the American Dreamscape shinier for everyone. www.socialironist.cincinnatibeacon.com

A reality check for all of you one-dimensional "thinkers":

Do you honestly believe that seeing the world in black and white is progressive?

Do you actually know the true definition of irony?

Here's a Jessamyn West quote that I found at www.thinkexist.com

"A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor, for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself."

Perhaps that catchy little ditty by Alanis Morisette was more meaningful than you thought.

When was the last time you laughed?
More specifically, when was the last time you laughed at yourself, and not at the "Other"?

On a related note:
When was the last time you changed your mind?

Was it this morning, when you thought you wanted some coffee (freshly plucked from the bleeding hands of an honest Columbian), but made a cup of tea instead (freshly brewed in your brand name, state of the art microwave)?

Flip-flopper!!!

Personally, I don't trust or respect anyone who uses the term "flip-flopper" as an insult. Flip-flopping (aka thinking) means that you use your brain. But perhaps that's outside your current schema.

Never trust a Republican who uses the word, "freedom", or a Democrat who uses the word, "change".

We live in a nation created of Others, that claims accept them, and even goes so far as to say they have a voice. Please, spare me the pony-loaf.

America was "founded" by religious fanatics that raped, destroyed, and murdered everything that they didn't understand. Anyone who believes otherwise needs to take a step outside their gated community and spend some time with some real Americans - on a reservation, in a tar-paper shack.

I'm a proud American Citizen, flip-flopper, GLBT ally, Unitarian Universalist, and member of the Social Ironist Party.
