Moron Editors

What kind of totally moronic Enquirer editors would allow this article to appear and not mention celebrity politicians like Reagan and Arnold? Oh, right, a Republican editor would do such a thing.

He Loves Bigots!

Tim at "Blurredbrain" seems to be a bit upset that I and other liberals are pissed off at his loved ones for voting for a bigot and either voting for the oppression of human beings (gay marriage ban) or accepting the support of those people in their quest to kill more Muslims before Saddam's grandchildren can build WMD and put them in a missile and launch it at the lower 48.

Scared by democrats
The fact is that small-d democrats have begun to worry me. I remember in the lead up to the 1992 election, I was in High School and a friend of mine, who was a staunch democrat, and I would go round and round about the various candidates. But though we would take cheap shots at each other the level of rivalry never approached hatred. Now when I look at various democratic outlets I see nothing but hatred for my friends, family, neighbors, and yes me. These democrats scare me. They call people I love and enjoy hanging around the most despicable of names. They legitimately believe 51% of the country are monsters. I don't want anyone these people support to be elected. And so I vote, and cheer Republican.

Sorry if the truth scares you Tim. If you voted for Issue 1 in Ohio, yes I think you are a bigot, and obviously you would be. If you don't think so, frankly I don't care, you can live in denial all you wish. Fact is fact, and bigotry is not hidden in Issue one. If you did not vote for said issue, then you surely voted for a man (Bush and maybe other Republicans) who supports that issue and more ideas like it. You put greed and your lust to kill Muslims over protecting human rights. What a great choice that was.

If it scares you that I point out your personal flaws, then I can only say GOOD! Maybe you will change your ways and stop pretending that it is ok to put human rights on the back burner and stop thinking killing Muslims will quell the PTSS you and many others on the surface illustrate with your irrational notion that going after Iraq has anything to do with fighting terrorism. Two things come to mind: Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. If you want to get rid of terrorism, you might want to invade those countries instead of Iraq. If you don't like that people are pissed at you for your voting choice, then I suggest you do not tell anyone who you voted for and refrain from talking about politics. Also, please tell me what really scares you about anything I said? I have said nothing that should scare anyone, maybe shamed people with a conscience, but that is about it.

This is Now A Mainsteam Republican

Here we have the poster child for Bush's GOP, a thumpin' and a thump' his way with his twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one pointing out that Satan has stuck his hand into the world in the form of liberals. We must Kill, Kill, Kill for the Lord!

Damn, I feel like littering.

For the culturally ignorant, you can read this and understand what the hell I am referencing. Not that the reference makes any sense if you got what I was talking about, but at least you won't be so lost or won't at least think your are lost for not getting the references.

Can We Now All Agree?

Can we please all now agree that any electronic voting machines must have a paper back-up or is this just a myth created to undermine the GOP on it way to establishing their theocracy?

Will Ghiz Get It?

Will Leslie Ghiz replace Pat DeWine on City Council?

Hiding Something?

What was Warren County hiding from when they bared all reporters from watching the ballot count? What kind of nutcase thinks Warren County is going to be a place for terror attack? Someone is either delusion or just lying. Will anyone investigate this? No, they will not. The GOP will prevent it and the media are too damn lazy to do anything more than this article. It took two days for it to appear, what is up with that? Why was it not in yesterday's paper and made the front of the Metro Section?

A Uniter, My Fat Ass

Republicans wonder why I hate this asshole?

A day after he pledged to reach out to Kerry voters, Bush turns around says, "fuck you!!!!"

Ah, I guess we can trust him, trust him to act like he won some huge majority and the 55 Million of us Kerry supporters just don't exist. A uniter my fat ass. Bush is going to run on like schmuck he is, as the guy who cares nothing, I repeat nothing, about those who did not vote for him.

Gloating and Closed Minds

Why was this article run? Why would this women care? Why do we need a propaganda article that I guess could not fit into Tuesday's paper, run today?

What this does illustrate is how impossible it will be for anyone to come together. This is tame, but wait until someone if fired for the way they voted.

GOP Pat on Back; Bigotry Works!

Bronson can praise praise the work of his fellow bigots, but we can't get any liberal voices in the Enquirer to refute him? That would displease "Dear Leader," so I guess it will have to wait. When will the "W" arm bands be available for purchase?

By the way, those phone calls were mostly recorded ones. I got about 20 of those 100,000 and they were not live people. They were Robocalls from people like Mike Reagan scaring you over Gay Marriage.

What a "Great" Jobs Market

Cincinnati Bell plans to cut up to 400 jobs.

Under/Over Votes in Hamilton County

Less Votes For Badnarik  = 1,006
Less Votes For Peroutka  = 637
Under/Over Votes  = 9,763

Lt. Gov. Jennette Bradley to Take Treasurer's Post?

An AP report speculates that Jennete Bradley will take over Joe Deter's post as Treasurer in January. This is not new speculation and is likely a done deal. What is not a done deal is who will then become Lt. Governor.

Comedian's Dream

Sledge points out another silver lining resulting from the election, the comedy will be better. The Daily Show will have a field day over the next four years. If SNL had any courage they would do the same thing, but SNL tries to be evenhanded nowadays, and all to often just not funny.

MIAMI 23, Toledo 16

Love and honor to Miami,
Our college old and grand,
Proudly we shall ever hail thee,
Over all the land.

Alma mater now we praise thee,
Sing joyfully this lay,
Love and honor to Miami,
Forever and a day.

Details here and here.

Got to back to the important things!

Cincinnati's Silver Lining

One of the few good bits of news that came from last night was passage of Issue Three, removing the anti-homosexual Article XII of the City Charter.

UPDATE: Nick Spencer has more.

Fear and the Stockholm Syndrome

Well, it ends, and it ends badly. Fear won over hope. Hate will be viewed as a strength. A bully is what people think they want, because a bully has captured them and holds their egos hostage. People’s egos were damaged and vulnerable and ripe for attack. BushCo made that attack and won. They have grown to worship their dear leader, their captor with a kind of blind faith that one can only described as delusional.

We are headed into what history I believe will call the American Dark Age. The world will hate us more, which believe it or not is actually possible. The poor will be forgotten. The wealthy will be rewarded for just being wealthy. Science will be devalued and in some cases be outlawed. Freedom to conform will replace the freedom to be an individual. We are now under the thumb of theocratic George who will succeed in taking away the rights of Americans (especially women, non-Christians, and the poor).

What people should be prepared for is WAR.

WAR, WAR, and WAR.

We will have war for the next four years. We will have thousands of Americans killed and tens of thousands of innocents killed. Iran, Syria, North Korea, and even the West Bank.

The right-wing fascists are out for revenge and they will be taking it. I don’t just mean the few commenters on here who will, and have, gleefully gloated about their dictator winning. If I were to be snippy I would call this 1934 Germany, but I am not that extreme, it's just the venom speaking.

Cincinnati Results

For "real time" results this pdf file has the most current information. Refresh it for more current results.

I am heading downtown soon, so I don't plan on posting until much later on or even until tomorrow.

These results are so far very slow to come in, which concerns me. I hope it is just because of the flurry of write-ins.

Enquirer Quasi-Blogging the Elections

Korte, Siegel, and Kemme are giving frontline reports from around town on the election. Korte includes Ethan Hahn's voting adventure (your welcome on that Greg) and other good anecdotes from the precincts. Is Ethan a Democratic blogger? What is odd however is that some wrote in the intro to the page that they are in "Columbus." That does not make much sense with notes on where they are reporting from. Now, they might not actual be where they report on, like me. I am sitting in a Hyde Park coffee shop right now, so go figure.

College Students Denied the Vote

Some Parents in the 34th district are very upset because their kids who attend OSU and OU did not receiving their absentee ballots. A judge has ruled that anyone who did not receive their absentee ballot, but should have, is entitled to vote with a provisional ballot. The problem is that the kids away at college can't do that unless they drive home. Few if any can do so, therefore they have been denied the vote. Is this another result of the lack of staff at the BOE to handle the level of voter participation this year? More lawsuits may be filed on this issue.

Deters Supporters Get Careless

Some Colerain Township Deters fans "left" there pencils in the voting booths. These pencils had "Write In Deters" printed on them. This is a violation of the law, but arguably an inadvertent. Well, it can be claimed inadvertent, but when two booth in one polling location have them, which equals all of the booths in that precinct, then that claim starts to crumble.

Reports also were reported in Mariemont and other places around the county. Details on that were not listed in the WLWT article.

To be fair, Fanon Rucker himself allegedly came into vote while wearing a hat covered in Rucker stickers.
