 Don’t Mess With Meddel
 This week, Judge Meddel said he would do "whatever it takes" to keep Black people from swimming in Wyoming's new pool, and he even pulled a gun on a Black man in his court room just to show he meant business.
This weekend the Whistleblower Legal Dream Team will be planning last minute strategy for Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane's Landmark Hearing at the always fair, open, and honest Hamilton County Auditor's Board of Revulsion on July 13. The hearing was made necessary after Family Friendly Fascist Chris Finney filed a complaint because Jeff Nieman, our Disingenuous DemocrAT Auditor's certifiable" appraiser got caught by Resourceful Realtor Jason Gloyd with his contrived bureaucratic attempt to justify the Auditor's 41% computer-generated increase.
Finney is wondering how many people to call as witnesses to testify about the Auditor's bias and personal animus after they witnessed his disgraceful performance at the annual dinner for Citizens Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes, when he was given five minutes to introduce Follically Challenged Steve Chabothead, but spent the entire time telling lies about our Beloved Publisher and whining about how unfair the Blower was to allow people to complain about how the Auditor's "certifiable" appraisers conducted drive-by reappraisals at 45 m.p.h. with their eyes closed. If the Auditor thinks TLB Mean Jean Schmidt was outraged after "TaxKiller Tom" Brinkman cut her head off the Marie Antionette "Let Them Eat Cake," wait till you hear how COAST plans to dismember the Auditor's effigy at their next event.
With Fourth of July Parade watchers amazed at how oftenthey saw Mean Jean booed, most Real Republicans are wondering why they didn't see revered Congressman Beechmont Bob McEwen as grand marshal of the big Fourth of July Parade in Anderson. Maybe this is the reason.
Did you ever wonder why Cincinnati lacks the funding resources for projects? wonder no more. Just check out the 2004 Empowerment Zone budget. Note $630K for salaries to "manage" giving federal dollars to the "poor" neighborhoods:
Health insurance for the Empowerment zone employees $115K
Auto allowance $6K
Office lease 60K
Legal fees $66K
It's our understanding that guy running the Empowerment zone was drawing $95K plus a $6k car allowance. How much of the millions of dollars in this fund has ever made it to our community?

While we're on the subject of the Morning Fishwrap, a comment might need to be made concerning the paper's charging for junk circulation! One Blower reader just received a bill and discovered that they were double-billing him for two weeks' coverage of the Sunday paper. His old subscription was for Sunday papers through 7/23, but the renewal billing started with 7/16. Our reader called them for an explanation and it turned out that they were giving him junk issues that he didn't request for holidays and then billing me for them. The customer service representative referred to them as "bonus" issues. Some bonus! This billing practice is evidently happening with all of their customers, but only the ones who are analyzing their bills closely are catching the deceit. The only reason our reader was getting the Sunday Fishwrap was for ads and coupons. He says the editorial content doesn't interest him in the least. And, having been in advertising and promotions, he knows full well that the reason some of these junk issues are being distributed is that the paper has to over-distribute the paper on certain days in order to guarantee a promised circulation figure to certain advertisers. Providing and billing for unnecessary services used to be something attributed to bad mechanics, sleazy office-supply salesmen and gypsy home repair outfits, but it now seems to be ethically okay to do it on a smaller, incremental scale by the local press monopoly.
Another Whistleblower subscriber says whoever wrote that rant about the deplorable conditions at Clark Montessori School doesn't know what he's are talking about. Our subscriber's kids have gone to FCPS's Montessori schools since the 1980s and in that time the district has NEVER done basic maintenance on any of the Montessori schools. Instead, the parent organizations have always carried that ball, with the school district perfectly willing to let them have as much of that work as the parents will take on. The school district claims there is no money and the parents are guilted into doing the work that we are paying taxes to be done. "Work parties" are organized and parents are expected to donate time, equipment, and materials to clean up, fix up, weed, patch, paint, etc, etc, etc, in the name of "parent involvement." In addition, the Clark parents whose kids play sports at Wiffrow are "expected" to do clean up and do maintenance over there, because the "uninvolved" Wiffrow parents won't do it. When the Failed Cincinnati Public $kool$ managed to get voters to approve the outrageous $1 billion building program (necessary only because they had completely and utterly neglected to maintain the magnificent old buildings of the district) our subscriber finally decided he'd had enough of that crap. His guess is, the other montessori parents are feeling the same way, which is why the grounds of Clark are returning to their "natural state" = neglected. By the way, why isn't anyone outraged that, despite significant scaling back of the capital improvements program, the spending is planned to be the same $1 billion! And where is the freaking maintenance plan for the new buildings? 50 years from now these new buildings will have gone to crap too. But don't worry, by then no one will live in Cincinnati anyway.
Our Paul Reveres on Motorcycles on their way directly from Denver to warn us next week about the illegal alien invasion will be in Springfield, Illinois today. Their schedule calls for them to arrive in Cincinnati on Friday.
Speaking of Springfield, Cubby reporter Eileen Wright interviewed Blue Chip heartthrob Crista Criddle about the upcoming Corn Hole Tournament in Springfield Township. Though never directly answering the question about Log Cabin sponsorship, Criddle said "Registration for everyone will run from 10:15 to 11 and NO BACKDOOR ENTRIES will be accepted." When asked advice on playing the game, Crista replied, "I recommend keeping your arm STRAIGHT and not allowing your wrist to go too limp."
Some members of the Forrest Gump High School Class of 1956 planning their 50th Reunion in only 76 more days used to cornhole, but that was when cornholing was performed under the original rules.
 Bluegrass Belles
Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says Miss Vicki may be busy taping TV shows on the ICRC Network in Greater Cincinnati these days, but the Blower's NoKY gossip columnist still finds time to contribute some of the best human interest stories the NoKY ComPost is running these days. Like the ones about Harlan Hubbard's hidden gift and Italians in Northern Kentucky.
Remember the other day when we were wondering how log it would take before we heard a response to the "Mainstrasse Moderates?" Wonder no more.
They said they would've responded sooner, but they just now stopped laughing. It appears as though our MainStrasse source is getting under someone's skin...mission accomplished!
They say it does, however, appear that the Village Idiots do have a semi-intelligent Neanderthal amongst them. Hmm, we don't have much to choose from, do we? Who could this irate comrade be? Words to the wiseless:
Get over it! The Bamboozer is a public official. If he can't take the heat, leave the kitchen.
Agreed that The Bamboozer is "the most visible," he is the largest; "most reachable," he is the shortest; but "plain talking?" Come on, you can only understand four out of every ten words that come out of his mouth.
The Village does look GREAT! But that's over-taxed payers' dollars being spent. Public Works is doing all of improvements. What about the other areas of Covington that need help? The Bamboozer's district? West Covington? General Infrastructure? Need we continue?
Here's a question? Why would those six individuals (thought it was five) even care about being in POWER? Everyone knows the MainStrasse Village Idiots are just an extended Bar Association --- pass the bourbon please. We think those unpopular specks should be lucky to now be disassociated with the Mainstrasse Village Idiots--- kudos to those losers, do they really matter anyway? I doubt anyone even knows the majority of them.
Agreed? If you have a garage, for the sake of the damned --- USE IT --- Personal opinion here for more parking. Tear down a bar or two (*wink* Zazoo) -- turn that into resident parking. If nothing else, they won't be marred with serving the high school crowd....shame on you.
Finally, if you don't like what's being said, then don't read it. How hard is that to get through a skull? The outstanding Whistleblower sources are here to spread the word. Our scurrilous reports will continue until this public corruption is weeded out.
After all, we have the Whistleblower Motto to uphold.
For those new folks on the South Shore who don't know the Whistleblower Motto by heart, let's all say it aloud:
"Wherever there's corruption, well be there.
"Wherever there's injustice, well be there.
"And wherever there's a bunch of big guys beating up on a little guy, well be there too... holding the little guy down."
