Politics Extra: Report from Blue Ash
In the above link, you'll see Enquirer reporter Howard Wilkinson's report in which he noted about 100 folks at the rainy, cold rally for Blackwell. Well, I'm here to tell the truth, the whole truth. Howard's post was at 5:54. H owever, I believe that he wrote it earlier. Since the report was posted by Carl Weiser, it stands to reason that Wilkinson emailed it to Weiser, who then posted it. Given that this stuff takes time, we'll give a five minute spread. Heck, let's call it 5:50 when Howard wrote his report.
At that time, Howard Wilkinson was correct. There were about 120 folks there. So, Howard was close enough. However, he should have posted later with more correct numbers. The event really got rolling at about 6:15. By that time, WTF counted about 215 in attendence. By 6:30, WTF noted 275 or more...probably more than 300. So, WTF cannot fault Wilkinson's earlier reporting, but notes that an update should have been given.
Impressions:
Anthony Munoz is a great asset to the party.
Congresswoman Schmidt was on her "A Game" and really connected.
Commissioner Phil Heimlich did a fine job, but strained himself on his jokes.
Commander Bill Cunningham worked the crowd the best.
Sean Hannity looks different in person, and doesn't do as good a job at whipping a crowd up as Cunningham.

Schmidt opens up lead on Wulsin. Likely GOP retention.
In a poll released today, SurveyUSA has Congresswoman Jean Schmidt expanding her lead over left-wing challenger Victoria Wells/Victoria Wulsin. The poll was paid for by WCPO, a TV station in Cincinnati. When asked the question:
Likely voters selected Schmidt over Wulsin by 8 points. SurveyUSA noted:
Also interesting to note is that the percentage of likely voters who self-identify as Republicans has increased by 4%.
The information is clear. Congresswoman Jean Schmidt will continue to represent the 2nd District of Ohio. This seat will be retained by the GOP.
If the election for U.S. House of Representatives were today, and you were standing in the voting booth right now, who would you vote for? Republican Jean Schmidt? Democrat Victoria Wulsin? Or some other candidate?
Likely voters selected Schmidt over Wulsin by 8 points. SurveyUSA noted:
Schmidt Edges Wulsin, Keeps OH2 House Seat for GOP:In an election for US House of Representatives in Ohio's 2nd Congressional District today, 10/17/06, Republican Congresswoman Jean Schmidt edges Democrat Victoria Wulsin by 8 points, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WCPO-TV Cincinnati. 3 weeks to the 11/7/06 election, Schmidt gets 48%. Wulsin gets 40%. Since an identical SurveyUSA poll released 9/20/06, Schmidt has gained 3 points and Wulsin has lost 2 points. Schmidt had led by 3, now leads by 8. Schmidt leads by 10 points among voters under 35. 4 weeks ago, Wulsin led this group by 6, a 16-point swing. Schmidt leads by 24 points among voters age 35-49, an 18-point improvement. Voters over 50 are evenly split. Schmidt leads by 15 points among men and by 3 points among women. Republicans support Schmidt 6:1. Democrats support Wulsin 12:1. Independents break 4:3 for Wulsin. Schmidt leads by 16 points among voters with household income over $80K, a 15-point improvement. Of those who approve of President George W. Bush's job performance, 82% support Schmidt. Of those who disapprove of Bush's performance, 77% support Wulsin. President Bush's approval rating among likely voters in Ohio's 2nd CD is 51%. In the past month, voter enthusiasm has increased in this district. The percentage of "likely voters" in SurveyUSA's turnout model has increased from 62% to 69% of registered voters. 4 weeks ago, 49% of likely voters identified themselves as Republican, today 53%. 4 weeks ago, 31% of likely voters identified themselves as Democrat; today 29%. Schmidt was first elected to Congress in a special election in 2005.
Also interesting to note is that the percentage of likely voters who self-identify as Republicans has increased by 4%.
The information is clear. Congresswoman Jean Schmidt will continue to represent the 2nd District of Ohio. This seat will be retained by the GOP.

Today at the Forum: Opening round of endorsements
Check the above link for the Cincinnati Enquirer's endorsements in the race for 1st District Court of Appeals and for County Commissioner. First off, they blew it in the race for Court of Appeals. Jim O'Reilly is not the kind of guy who should be serving on a court. WTF hears that O'Reilly once stated that since none of us were alive when the Ohio or US Constitutions were written, we can't know what they mean. Therefore we need to make the Constitutions mean whatever we need them to mean whenever we need them to mean it. O'Reilly is clearly NOT QUALIFIED.
Pepper? Good choice. Heimlich and his crony Chris Finney need to go. I can't wait until Chris Finney no longer holds any position of influence in this county. The man is awful, uncouth, and a detriment to our county.

Exploding tree hugging heads and DeWine's correspondence.
A friend of mine figured out the best way to explode an "eco-liberal's" head. He thinks that an electric or hybrid HUMMER with a .50 calibre machine gun mounted on top and a peace symbol painted on the hood would cause brain overload as the bunny brigade decided whether to love it or to hate it.
We have a test run scheduled in Yellow Springs just before Thanksgiving.
In other news, the following letter was recently sent to Senator Mike DeWine, by another friend.
The Honorable Michael Dewine
Senate Office Building
309 Hart
WashingtonDC , 20510
Dear Senator Dewine,
As a native Ohioan and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.
My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stem from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.
Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.
Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year. Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as well as "in-state" tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.
Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car.
If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for your assistance.
Your Loyal Constituent,

Moonbat: Sheehan plays fido with her uterus.
Cindy Sheehan continues to disgrace the memory of her son, Specialist Casey Sheehan, United States Army, deceased. For those who don't know, Specialist Sheehan is a true American hero. He was a soldier and mechanic in the Army's Charlie Batter, 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillary Regiment, First Cavalry Division. On April 4, 2004, Specialist Sheehan volunteered as part of a quick reaction force to rescue fellow warfighters in need of aid. For his heroic actions, Specialist Sheehan was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, with the Valor device. This combination is awarded for heroic or meritorious achievement or service with combat heroism.
Specialist Sheehan was killed in action that day.
Since his death, his mother has disgraced his name. Now it only gets worse. Hot Air blog has a recording of Sheehan discussing the burial of her uterus in Crawford , TX.
Perhaps "Mother" Sheehan is mentally ill. Maybe her son's death put her over the edge. Either way, she needs help.

Christianity Causes Violence.
Australia's Courier-Mail newspaper has a story today about how a Muslim father attempted to kill his daughter because she wanted to convert to Christianity. He ended up killing his wife when she tried to intervene and hurt himself critically in the process. Obviously, this is the fault of Christianity. If Christianity hadn't been involved, this Muslim family would still be ok.

Today lunch was at Arthurs, in Hyde Park. Great burgers. If you haven't been there, they are on Edwards right off Hyde Park Square. Another great lunch spot, a Cincinnati Legend is on Mt. Lookout Square...who know's the place? Here's a clue...they have a train.

Other Takes on Finney's Ample Ass.
The Dean of Cincinnati at the Cincinnati Beacon writes:
The Cincinnati Beacon has been writing about The Three Centurions and the Bill Gothard related stories for over a year. It looks now like the story has finally graduated to the next level. Things have tipped. Team Heimlich cannot ignore the blatant cronyism anymore, and other reporters are starting to ask more questions.
But let’s just pause and really think about this for a moment: Phil Heimlich’s friend, mentor, and business partner, actually lifted up his coat-tails and slapped his ass at Bridget Doherty!
What kind of a man does that?
What kind of man tells a woman to kiss his ass?
What kind of man points his posterior at a lady and slaps it in her general
Viking Spirit notes that Finney is widely believed to be the puppetmaster behind write in Hack Nate Noy and his frivolous complaints against Jean Schmidt.

Calling upon Finney to resign or Heimlich to fire him.
Due to his recent acts, detailed in a previous post, WTF is calling upon Chris Finney to resign from all government appointments. WTF also calls upon Phil Heimlich to publicy denounce his business partner's antics and for Heimlich to pledge that he will never support Finney for a position of public trust again.
So, I ask everybody who agrees to write Commissioner Heimlich, Commissioner Portune, and Commissioner DeWine at:
phil.heimlich@hamilton-co.org
todd.portune@hamilton-co.org
pat.dewine@hamilton-co.org
You should also write Finney at finney@gocoast.org
Finney is an embarassment. He needs to go!

Tasteless Joke time:
Warning: the following is sick.
Q: Why doesn't Congressman Foley like bookmarks?
A: He likes his Pages bent over!
Thanks...WTF is here all week.
So, I'm wondering if Foley should change his affiliation to Democrat to take the heat off himself. What he did wasn't that bad? Was it? It isn't like he shoved a cigar up the boy's ass and then smoked it.
Seriously, another thing to be pissed at this guy about is the fact that his attorney is now alleging that Foley was molested by a priest. I would like to be among the first to raise the red flag of BS. Don't forget that Foley has "alcohol problems", too. BS. Alcohol doesn't cause an allegedly straight guy to start chasing post pubescent teenagers.
Yes, WTF is angry. What happened to taking responsibility for your own actions. Congressman Foley, you should be ashamed. You shouldn't be blaming a nonexistent priest, or booze. You should blame yourself, and only yourself.

Enquirer Blog: Heimlich Crony melts down.
Politics Extra: Finney to Pepper: Kiss my (expletive)
Chris Finney is well known in Cincinnati Republican circles...as a snake. Finney is the business partner and sometimes companion of Hamilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich. Finney is also the cofounder of COAST with Tom Brinkman. Finney has also been appointed to numerous boards and commissions by Phil Heimlich.
Finney and Brinkman are the architects behind the constant attacks on their fellow Republican, Jean Schmidt. With Heimlich's ties as "best friends" with the two, there is no way that he is not involved. Finney and Brinkman are the puppetmasters of Nate Noy, the Pike County nut who filed the frivolous complaints against the Congresswoman.
Basically, it boils down to the fact that Phil Heimlich, Chris Finney, and Tom Brinkman are misogynists. They hate the fact that a WOMAN is representing them in Congress. They hate the fact that the woman is from Clermont County. They hate the fact that the woman is not Tom Brinkman, whom Jean Schmidt vanquished in the Special Primary some time ago.
Insider rumors indicate that the corrupt COAST cabal wants is trying to weaken Congresswoman Schimdt so that they can run their own corrupt candidate, Phil Heimlich against her in two years. I wouldn't put that past them.
Because of their corruption, this Republican stands opposed to the COAST cabal. Heimlich needs to go so that dignity can be restored and so that Finney loses his influence.
Chris Finney is an ass. He needs to realize that nobody wants to further see his ass, nor hear his opinions.

Politics Extra: Poll makes Pepper proud
I'm not at all surprised. A large number of Republicans are sick and tired of Heimlich's associates...and it is coming back to bite Heimlich in the ass. Heimlich appointed COAST leader Chris Finney to all sorts of county boards and commissions. Finney and Representative Tom Brinkman are the guys who founded COAST. Annoying Clown Nate Noy is a former Brinkman campaign volunteer who loves to file frivolous complaints against Jean Schmidt. It appears that Finney is behind him. What a mess. Phil is keeping poor company.

I just noticed that my blog is food intensive. Maybe that explains the extra 35 pounds that I've packed on. Getting old is a bitch.
The Great Chili wars.
For over twenty years, ever since I moved here, I've been a chili eater. Well, it is time to release the "Chili Rankings".
My favorite is Empress Chili, followed by Dixie. Gold Star is in 3rd Place, while Skyline brings up the rear. I really don't know what the fascination is with Skyline. It must be because of the name, because the quality is awful. Limp pasta, fatty meat, too spicy hot sauce, yuck. The cheese, however, is great.
