Actual headline: "Ohio to fight gypsy moths by disrupting mating"

ModernEsquire — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 23:00:05 +0000

Sometimes, when you browse the Google that John Kasich invented while ending special interests influence in Washington forever, you come across a headline like this that if you’re like me gets your imagination running wild with possibilities Like how exactly does one disrupt mating? By patrolling Moth Makeout Point? Calling them randomly?

But despite dreaming up six impossible things by breakfast, I never imagined that Ohio would fight a gypsy moth infestation with a chemical that turns the male moths gay, which sounds like a weird plot line from a political satire [...]

[UPDATE]: OH-15: Steve Stivers: Don’t believe anything I say…

ModernEsquire — Sat, 01 May 2010 17:23:35 +0000

So, remember just a few days ago we were talking about how bank lobbyist Steve Stivers told a 9/12/Tea Party group that he supported repealing the 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that calls for the direct election of U.S. Senators?

Well, Stivers is now claiming to the Columbus Dispatch, he apparently is just too incompetent to check the right box, even with a campaign office of seasoned hired Republican campaign operatives helping him in what is supposed to be one of the most important races for the Republicans nationally this year.? This, of course, makes him a [...]

Ohio GOP attacks Corday’s $9 million AIG victory for using private lawyers; Cordray didn’t use private lawyers…

Earlier this week, Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray announced a $9 million settlement with AIG for conspiring with rivals to jack up insurance premiums.

The Ohio Republican Party thought they smelled a political winner by claiming that the lawsuit was actually a winner for private lawyers who handled the case after donating money to Cordray’s campaign.

So, being Republicans, Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine attacked Cordray by claiming that he and Marc Dann (who had filed the suit) used the suit to reward their campaign donors by steering the work to them.

The Ohio GOP message machine felt [...]

Great moment in subliminal advertising by the Kasich-Taylor ticket

ModernEsquire — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:07:09 +0000

After reading my live blog of the Kasich-PalinTaylor press conference today where I noticed ads by employers looking to hire Ohioans popped up every time one of them said jobs, a fan of the site sent me this even better screen capture:

I bet Ohio GOP Chairman Kevin DeWine clicked it to see if it applies to political marriages.

Funniest damned thing to come along since Naugle took a driver to a Bob Taft bobblehead.

Hillary in the White House!

Notice how he says “we need a woman to clean it up”. Is that sexist?

It will be interesting to see if this one gets pulled. Already 78k views. No worries though. Eric has a PlunderArchive!

Sinbad has some fun with Hillary

Eric — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 20:46:38 +0000

Great stuff. Worth a full read.

Hillary says:
Sinbad, along with singer Sheryl Crow, was on that 1996 trip to Bosnia that Clinton has described as a harrowing international experience that makes her tested and ready to answer a 3 a.m. phone call at the White House on day one, a claim for which she’s taking much grief on the campaign trail.

Sinbad says:
Harrowing? Not that Sinbad recalls. He just remembers it being a USO tour to buck up the troops amid a much worse situation than he had imagined between the Bosnians and Serbs.

Hillary On Day One

Eric — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 04:55:24 +0000

- from Mike Peters

Please note: Before anyone loses their mind and claims I’m being sexist or misogynist, please know the intent behind the cartoon is simply this: Barack will be our nominee and not Hillary. It is not intended to imply that all women must serve their husbands pop-tarts in the morning. Nor is it intended to imply that all women wear silly hair rollers. Nor is it meant to imply that Hillary is barefoot in this cartoon but you just can’t see her feet. Etc., etc.

John McCain as Casey Kasem? (Video)

Eric — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 06:33:59 +0000

My wife says McCain sounds like Casey Kasem. I think that’s kinda funny. Not as funny as this, though. I only really mention the McCain thing as an excuse to post this video. Warning: Parental Advisory. Strong language. Don’t play this in an office setting without headphones.

You. Will. Die. Laughing.

NAMBLA and Concrete Blocks

Eric — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:56:15 +0000

As soon as I saw this I began looking for an excuse to post it. I cried I laughed so hard. Funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks! Then I got an out. A perfect reason to HAVE to post this. NAMBLA. Ya’ll remember NAMBLA right? Blackwell’s last stand?

Well, we haven’t posted anything NAMBLA related here at PB in quite a while so I thought I’d share this (be prepared to LYAO):
