Rooster in Review: Road rage is a helluva drug

An Ohio Man is facing nine criminal charges after following a woman home to trash her house and assault her husband after she had the audacity to honk at him.

One of the most frustrating things about Ohio politics is the small-mindedness of our Republican overlords.

I see government as the only entity that can deliver things like universal healthcare, mass transit, or check corporations intent on poisoning the environemnt to save a couple pennies on the expense sheet.

Others, like Jai Chabria, an advisor to the notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy, apparently spent their adult lives dreaming of throwing Elmo into the trashcan:

What a bizarre little man. But it’s one of those times when somebody only needs a couple sentences to offer searing insight into their worldview.

This policy will hurt rural areas the most. But it easily folds into the Republican playbook of killing independent media institutions to create a void that can easily be filled by their billionaire-funded network of propagandists.

Chabria, for his part, is a great example of the unscrupulous nature of Republican political consults. Not that long ago, Chabria earned a living by advising John “No. 1 Asshole” Kasich, which led to some gems like this:

Chabria, like a lot of Ohio Republicans, would rather make money than stick to their principles, which is why he’s now working for a charlatan whose only requirement to be governor is that pedophile Donald Trump wanted him out of Washington D.C.

It’s times like these that people can say what they want about me—but they can’t call me a flunkie. I’d rather wash dishes in anomynity than suffer that fate, even though I’d imagine it’s probably quite lucrative as long as you have the lack of a soul required to sleep soundly at night.

Anyway, it’d be great if former Senator Sherrod Brown decided to announce his candidacy next week. I’m growing tired of watching these losers treat Ramaswamy’s victory as an inevitability.

This week in Ohio Man…

A screencap from WLWT broadcast

Most Americans don’t realize that our unsustainable car-based culture is rewiring our brains to ignore all the horrible things inevitably attached to everyone driving 3,000-pound vehicles to the grocery store.

Road rage is one such aspect. And as a former driver myself, it’s not something I was above. If I ever made a mistake on the road, it was an unintended mistake that should be quickly forgiven. But if somebody made a mistake that interrupted my commute, that was an affront to God from a stranger that should be sentenced to the gulag at the next opportunity.

I can only shake my head at that past stupidity. And thankfully, it never led to me following a woman home to trash her house and assault her husband, all because she dared to honk at me on the open road.

From Cliff Pinckard of cleveland.com:

WAYNE TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A man involved in a reported road rage incident in southwest Ohio followed a female driver home, broke into and trashed her home, then assaulted her husband, reports say.

Clermont County court records show Seth Schlueter, 30, of Wayne Township, is facing nine criminal charges, including aggravated burglary, assault, aggravated menacing, operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, and endangering children.

I’d assume Mr. Schueter had some other things going on in his life that led him down that road, but nine criminal charges probably won’t help him out of that hole.

It was another brisk week of business at Rooster Worldwide LLC with a full slate of published blogs:

• No one man should have all that power. I requested public records of every email and text message to and from State Representatives that included the word “Rooster.” The results were hilariously insightful.

• Why is Jeff Epstein’s best friend still calling shots in Columbus? Ohio’s premier children’s lingerie enthusiast, Les Wexner, recently crawled out of his sewer to boast about “the largest AI investment in the world” coming to Columbus. He forgot to mention that he’s invested billions of dollars into the sham technology.

• So-called property tax relief on tilt mode. Speaker Matt Huffman wants the Ohio House to start the override process of overriding three of Governor DeWine’s vetoes on Monday. The result of that vote is far from guaranteed.

• The president is a pedophile. Donald Trump (and Les Wexner!) wrote deeply perverted, personal birthday cards to the world’s most infamous child rapist. The Democrats shouldn’t let the American people forget that.

We’ll do it again next week at the same time and place.

Until then… stay frosty, my friends!
