Rooster in Review: #WEXIT hits Ohio State
Plus, three unanswered questions from the February Mailbag. Tap in before the weekend!
If you’re looking for something productive to do outside on this beautiful day in Columbus, The Rooster recommends the walkout on Ohio State’s campus in protest of the notorious thong salesman Leslie Wexner:
I will be in attendance barring a calamity on my bicycle en route to campus, so feel free to say hello if you’re a fellow patriot in the field.
On a lighter note, here are three extra questions from the readership that didn’t appear in the February Mailbag, which hit inboxes on Thursday.
Questions are in bold, with my responses in standard text. Some questions have been lightly edited for clarity, grammar or syntax.
Should Aston Villa push to try and win the Premier League or put all of our eggs into winning Europa League? UTV!!!!
First of all—God bless you. You are like one in five people in the world who genuinely care about my opinions on Aston Villa, which, as you know, is the only team worthy of support on the second most famous Pedophile Island in the world.
But why not both? Winning the Premier League would mean a lot more, though I wouldn’t be mad at Unai Emery, the most handsome man in Europe, leading us to victory in the Europa League.
Are you watching the Max Miller faux road rage saga in Cleveland?
Oh yes, I noted my suspicions about Music Man’s little incident almost as soon as he posted that bizarre video claiming he almost got “run off the road.”
I also saw the other day that Cleveland-area lawyer Peter Pattakos is suing Music Man on behalf of the doctor involved in that case.
If you know anything about Mr. Pattakos, you’ll know he’s about the last person you want to be sued by in Ohio.
Have fun out there, Music Man! Can’t say that I’ll be cheering for you.
When will you announce critical support for Jay Edwards in his people’s struggle against shackle-owning union-busting Roegner?
That goes without saying.
However, I would argue that my trumpeting of Edwards’ campaign would probably be detrimental to him in the Republican primary.
We appreciate a sizable Republican readership at Rooster Worldwide LLC, but those who consume our work aren’t the types that comprise a majority of Republican hog voters.
Business is booming at Rooster Worldwide LLC. We might owe Wexner a Christmas card by the end of the year, kind of like the one he used to receive from Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries, who faces his own sex abuse scandal in New York.
If you enjoy the social media presence, the on-the-ground videography, or even the occasional dispatch—that’s all supported by a brave and noble cabal that subscribes to The Rooster.
With Trump-loving corporate media consolidating every day, there has never been a better time to subscribe to an independent publication that doesn’t owe its relevancy to corporate sponsors or leatherly benefactors.
We’re only getting started at Rooster Worldwide LLC. And it’s a great time to lock in for the year, given the statewide elections coming in November.
This week in Ohio Man…
Generally speaking, it’s probably a bad idea as a mayor of any municipality to be engulfed in an “underwear-smelling” scandal.
But that’s exactly what happened to Butler’s Republican mayor, Wesley Dingus, who tendered his resignation earlier this week after being slapped with voyeurism charges.
From Lou Whitmire of the Akron Beacon-Journal:
After a months-long saga where he was arrested for running over a man who fled from police, then was charged with voyeurism for smelling a girl’s underwear, Butler Mayor Wesley Dingus resigned from his position Tuesday, Feb. 24.
Butler Village Council had called for a special meeting for Feb. 24, citing personnel reasons.
Dingus submitted a resignation letter that was read at the meeting.
“Effective immediately I Wesley Dingus resigns as Village of Butler Mayor not under stress but under duress,” he wrote in his resignation letter.
The most shocking thing about this scandal, other than the obvious, is that Mr. Dingus had the decency to resign from the position rather than taking the more MAGA-ified stance of claiming to be a victim of a political witch hunt.
But that’s the power of video, folks. It’s one thing to read about a pervert sniffing a child’s underwear, but it’s another thing entirely to see him caught twice on camera.
This week in The Rooster…
It wasn’t another record-breaking week in traffic, but it was a brisk week of business at Rooster Worldwide LLC.
Here’s what you missed if you don’t subscribe to The Rooster:
Ohio State: Wexner Medical Center ‘honorific’ with no contract in place. The news puts new light on Wexner’s machinations to create the Medical Center Board and let his lackeys ensure he could sit as chairman indefinitely.
The Cleveland conundrum. Ohio Democrats haven’t shown an ability to win statewide without robust voter turnout in Cleveland. The recent data doesn’t offer much hope, either.
The Rooster’s February Mailbag. Answering the readership’s most burning questions: Like which political nickname am I proudest to crown upon my vast array of enemies?
With Democrats like these. With “anti-voting activists” circulating a draft executive order begging Donald Trump to nationalize elections, State Senator Bill DeMora joined with his Republican colleagues to stick his thumb in the eye of the Democratic base.
We’ll do it again next week at the same time and place.
Until then, stay frosty, my friends!
THOSE WMDs. The French civil servant who forced “more than 200” women to wet themselves… Tech’s new generation and the end of thinking… The FDA’s lax generic drug rules put her life at risk… When politics comes to the parenting groupchat… Do America’s carmakers have a plan for survival?
"Wesley Dingus"? Are you sure you didn't make up that name? It's too good!
American carmakers are absolutely toast. When people in Canada and Mexico pay half of what Americans do for cars (Chinese and non-Chinese as well), the dam will eventually break.
