Rooster in Review: Taking next week off to focus on those bums up north
Rooster in Review: Taking next week off to focus on those bums up north
Not hitting the sandy beaches of Titty Island just yet, though.
I realized the other day that I grant myself 14 days of annual vacation aside from banking holidays. (If the bankers ain’t working, nobody else should either!) I’ve not taken anywhere close to that number this year.
As such, I’m pausing publication next week—barring the FBI arresting a Columbus elected official or a state legislator.
The Rooster will resume service on Monday, November 28th, at 4:33 a.m.
I wish this meant I was spending the week on Titty Island. But that day has not yet come.
I will instead be focusing my literary labors over at my college football venture, Meet at Midfield. As you might have heard, Ohio State and Michigan play a pretty big football game next week.
I’m proud of the space we have built in such a short time over at Meet at Midfield, and this week could be the busiest week of business for our young endeavor. There has never been a better month to join the chaos.
I simply won’t have the time needed to work on The Rooster, and frankly, I need the break after another debilitating result in the recent statewide elections.
Normal service will resume on Monday, November 28th, at 4:33 a.m.
This week in Ohio Man…
Always bad news when you appear in a headline mentioning you’ve been banned from area hotel lobbies.
From Chelsea Simeon of wtrf.com:
LIBERTY, Ohio (WKBN) – A Boardman man was convicted of charges after police say he was found naked in the middle of a Liberty motel lobby.
Police said 47-year-old Robert Cherry was completely nude when they confronted him at a motel on Motor Inn Drive last Thursday.
When questioned, Cherry told police that he “got bugs on me” and was washing his clothes, according to a police report.
This is what happens in a country that’s flooded with narcotics and lacks proper mental health services. I hope Mr. Cherry gets the help he needs.
This week in The Rooster…
Please stop saying Tim Ryan ran a “smart” campaign. Tim Ryan lost to a bum. There’s nothing “smart” about that.
Them crypto cowboys skedaddled. Bitcoin was always a nerd currency favored by pedophiles and other sordid online criminals. But a lot of public officials tried to legitimize the scam before the crash.
Sore winners. Democrats won a majority on the State School Board. The election wasn’t even certified before Republicans moved to strip the board of its powers and hand them to unelected hobgoblins in the governor’s office.
Who’s this legislative dipshit? Meet Derek Merrin (R-Monclova Township) the next Speaker of the Ohio House. Merrin is a Christian nationalist and anvowed enemy of public schools. He’s also a landlord fighting for the rights of lead paint in the legislature. “Stone cold freak” does not even begin to describe this guy.
The knockout blow. Voting, which was always the least anybody could do in the face of the unrepentant march to fascism, won’t even meet that threshold if Republicans successfully gut citizen-led ballot initiatives.
As always, be sure to follow The Rooster on Twitter for all of Ohio’s depravity, all the time.
The Rooster will resume normal service on Monday, November 28th, at 4:33 a.m.
THOSE WMDs. Turning right on red is not your birthright… Uncleared sidewalks endanger pedestrians… Some of the year’s best nature photographs… Bicycling’s greatest uphill achievement… 12 incredibly niche podcasts.
Hey DJ. I've given up on Twitter, and I've found a home at Counter.Social. CoSo doesn't sell your info and isn't funded by ads. It's a great community that is actively opposed to trolling. The prevailing ethos is consistent with the values you espouse here on the Rooster. I'd love to follow your work there. Please consider making the switch.
