“Aloha” translated… and Elvis was gay

In Hawaiian, “aloha” means “go @#$% yourself Ohio’s 10th District.”

From yesterday’s Openers:
Touting his presidential campagn in Hawaii over the weekend, Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich called himself the “Aloha candidate” during a Hawaiian television interview in which he wore a white lei over his dark suit.
As the people of Cleveland’s west side wonder what the […]

Pay no attention…

…to the looming giant budgetary crisis behind the curtain.
Excellent piece yesterday from Roger Bundy at Cleveland Equnimous Philosopher about the Medical Mart, er… CONvention Center, er… General Fund Sales Tax Increase.
Here’s one of the worthy money quotes:
As is clear from the following excerpts of the Midyear Financial Report, the county is already hinting that it will need the […]

Wanna piss off the intelligensia?

Vote no on extending the Cuyahoga County Port Authority’s funding…
According to the CuyCo Board of Elections, the following issue ballot language will be associated with the port’s tax renewal levy:
CLEVELAND-CUYAHOGA COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY (1436 Precincts)
PROPOSED TAX LEVY (RENEWAL)
A renewal of an existing levy to constitute a tax for the benefit of the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County
Port Authority […]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight

… Oh Lord.
So said Phil Collins back in the day when Sussudio was something that we thought made sense.  But just like Sussudio was just gibberish leading nowhere, so is the current state of the local CuyCo GOP leadership and today Ralph King has hit it on the head.  Here’s an excerpt from today’s worthy post talking […]

You’ve gotta love PhotoShop

This pic of a poster hanging in a downtown establishment came in an email from Mike Pelsozy today about the effort that Fred the Fixer and the gang at the Cleveland Intelligensia are putting up in hope of denying you a chance to vote on the Medical Mart err… CONvention Center err…GENERAL FUND SALES TAX […]

Dumb, Dumber and the Hot Chick on parade

And the Kucinich laughtrack just keeps on chugging along…
 Dumb
  Dumber and…
 The Hot Chick
This from today’s Opener’s:

Kucinich and Sheehan to march to Bush compound
Posted by Stephen Koff August 24, 2007 13:26PM
At noon tomorrow, presidential peace candidate Dennis Kucinich and his wife, Elizabeth (whom the TV cameras can’t seem to get enough of, as Jon Stewart notes), will […]

CuyCo elected officials never met a taxed dollar they didn’t like

I’m a firm believer in the idea that we live in a representative democracy - we (the people) elect folks that we (the people) believe are best-suited (or at least the best of those on the ballot) for their jobs.  A basic tenet of our system of government is that along with our proxy comes the burden […]

Shocking! The conman hates soldiers

In another blatant display of the obvious, Conman Kucinich is called out for his failure to support men and women who have worn the uniform (look out Josh Mandel)…
From today’s Openers:
Iraq war veteran and former political candidate Paul Hackett said that when he won a primary election in 2005 to run for Congress against Jean […]

“Grasp ankles and tuck”

The new slogan for the Cleveland CONvention Center.
At least that’s what the Cuyahoga County Commissioners decided to tell county resisdents today in a 2-1 (Dimora and Hagen yes, Jones no) absolutely expected vote after the second of two “public” hearings on the issue of raising the county sales tax by .25% to support a CONvention […]

The more things don’t change

Tonight I should be at the RPCC platform meeting/convention, but given the limited value placed on input from the party’s rank and file members, I figured it might make more sense to work a little bit later and hit the keyboard when I got home.  If somebody has an update on tonight’s RPCC meeting, please […]
