This is how dictators act.
“Honestly, I don’t think it did” make a difference, he said of the ACLU’s threat of a lawsuit if officials did not open all meetings to the public. “They may have jumped the gun a bit.”
The PD’s Henry Gomez, who has been all over this since the laughable WCPN appearance which started it, notes yet another perfection of irony.
But feedback from the transition group’s public engagement committee, which has been meeting in private, ultimately convinced leaders to open the meetings, Zanotti said.
Who is Martin Zanotti, unelected by anyone, to decide how, [...]
Full Story... →After the disastrous WCPN appearance of unelected co-czars of Cuyahoga County, Martin Zanotti and Jim McCafferty on Tuesday, Ken Lanci jumped into the fray. ?Lanci claims to be an independent candidate for Cuyahoga County executive, but gave $10,000 to McCain-Palin in the last week of the 2008 election, which makes him a Republican. ?Lanci demanded to be included in the transition process.
“It is a waste of time and resouces to develop a plan that has had no input from the candidates.?In order for the recommendation of the executive committee’s plan to have any chance, there needs to be [...]
Full Story... →Good.
The ambiguity is enough for the ACLU to seek clarifications from a judge if transition leaders do not voluntarily open up, said Link, who added that a lawsuit is possible. She warned that legal action would bring the transition process to a halt.
“It will take forever,” Link said. “We hope public officials get on the right track and further action won’t be necessary.”
There is plenty in this new charter that can be litigated and challenged in court. ?Plenty. ?As a candidate for the new county council, I would support any lawsuit or other effort that [...]
Full Story... →I turned on 90.3 in the car, and there was good ol’ Dan Moulthrop with 2010′s unelected czar of Cuyahoga County Martin Zanotti, identified as recently as this past Sunday by the PD as a potential candidate for county executive, and his fellow unelected co-czar ?Jim McCafferty to discuss county reform! ?Awesome! ?So I decided to call in and ask a question.
Since everyone on the air was all about transparency, I identified myself to call screener Susan as a candidate for county council, and said I wanted to follow up on a question from a listener, who asked where [...]
Full Story... →Sarah Palin’s last visit to Ohio for a book signing turned out to be a great video opportunity for Tim and Eric in front of the Dublin Border’s book store.
I expect nothing less from Palin’s next visit on March 5th.
According to the website for the event: “Purchasing a ticket (for $40) guarantees you a comfortable seat and a great view of Sarah Palin as she shares her experiences related to the Pro Life Movement. Refreshments will be available for purchase prior to the event.”
Mmmm…. refreshments for purchase. And a comfortable seat.
That really beats sleeping [...]
Full Story... →Congressman John P. Murtha (PA-12) passed away peacefully this afternoon at 1:18 p.m. at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, VA. He was 77.
Full Story... →Again, apparently completely unaware of the concept of irony, Sarah Palin gives a speech in which she criticizes President Obama for using a teleprompter and reads crib notes off her hand! LOL
So.
Great.
Sarah Palin is a blogging gift that keeps on giving. I can’t wait to get to interview more supporters. My guess is the next craze will be to get Sarah to sign the palms of supporter’s hands. They, like her, are completely and totally unaware in general.
PS: My other choice for headline was “Sarah Palin gives Nashville a handjob”
Full Story... →Top of the rec list. ?It’s happening, just as I said it would back in July.
At some point, the dollar signs which Lee incessantly throws in everyone?s face will start to dwindle. ?Lee came out with a bang, and in the next quarter, his numbers dropped. ?Next quarter, they?ll drop some more. ?And then the next. ?By the end of 2009, Lee will be on a precipitous glide path. ?The proverbial wad has been shot.
Brunner, however, because of her performance in 2008, has a message that has already taken hold in the national blogosphere. ?She is [...]
Full Story... →I plan to blog throughout my run for Cuyahoga County Council District 7. ?Of course, the regularity will be spotty, but I find that blogging clears a lot of cobwebs out of my head, and that value increases as I get further into being an actual candidate. ?I also plan to be totally transparent during this campaign, and blogging will be a part of that.
Full Story... →The Who as we’d like to remember them. Not whatever it was we saw during the Super Bowl:
Full Story... →Rahm Emanuel calls liberal groups “fucking retards” and Sarah Palin wants him fired. Rush Limbaugh calls same groups “retards” (he can’t say fuck on the radio like Howard can) and Sarah at first calls it “crude and demeaning” only to later defend Rush by agreeing with him and calling it “satire” and claiming the source of the crude and demeaning quote got it wrong.
This is, of course, not really news. We’ve long known Sarah is a vapid, hypocritical, fake ass bitch. Now we know she’s also a fucking retard who employs double standard like Rush [...]
