Rooster in Review: Tim Misny won't run for governor
Misny is right when he says he'd "win big" if he ran.
This dispatch is too long for email. Please open your browser to view in full.
Renowned Cleveland-area personal injury lawyer Tim Misny is currently recruiting for a role to play a young Misny in an upcoming biographical movie.
A benefit of being a moderately renowned blogger is that I can obtain almost any Ohioan’s phone number. In this case, I didn’t even have to ask. A high-ranking member of the Patriots Caucus supplied Misny’s number after I asked him to bang my line on Twitter to discuss a potential Oscar-worthy role.
Having nothing better to do, I shot my shot on Thursday afternoon:
A piece of advice to any aspiring blogger: Say things like “I run The Rooster,” as if everyone, regardless of their station in life, is supposed to know what that means.
About 45 minutes later, while riding my bike down Sullivant Avenue, I received a call from Mr. Misny.
It’s with a heavy heart I report the dream of spurring him to run for governor in 2026 is officially dead. Misny said he’d “win big” if he ran, and I agree.
Some might not like his style, but you must be loud in the personal injury game. And that Misny has made a name for himself in that industry in a city as cutthroat as Cleveland is the exact skillset that would make him a formidable candidate as a likely left-leaning independent. His motto of “making them pay” is already baked into our political moment, too.
Unfortunately for Ohio, Misny is also the ultimate family man, which is why he won’t seek the governorship at this time.
During our conversation, he relayed that he was picking up his son from school to take him to the gym and said he’d rather be cooking him dinner tonight than begging for money from the kind of people who fund gubernatorial campaigns.
On a lighter note, I’ve officially entered the race to play a young Misny in the upcoming film. Even if I don’t land the title role, Misny seemed amenable to featuring me in the movie, hopefully as some nefarious henchman or dastardly rogue.

Josh Williams defends his handout to the Cleveland Browns
The hapless Cleveland Browns issued a statement earlier this week saying they would move to Brook Park with or without the help of public money from Cleveland or Cuyahoga County.
To which I say… good? The Browns are free to move their clown show wherever they want. I only have a problem when billionaire crooks (repetitive, I know) like Browns owner Jimmy Haslam try to fleece public coffers to finance their private pipe dreams.
The Super Bowl is a lot like hosting the Olympics, which is to say it’s a scam entirely beneficial to the organizers of the event, not the host city.
There is plenty of academic research showing that hosting the Super Bowl is not worth the cost, and that’s for premier American cities that aren’t broke and people want to visit in the middle of February.
And I don’t mean to disrespect Cleveland with those statement of facts. I love Cleveland, but it’s not rich, and it’s not a fun place to visit in February.
So, it’s fitting that our self-styled legislative kings are licking Commisioner Goodell’s boots, begging for a Super Bowl that they can peddle as “proof” that this racket is good for Ohio at whole and not just Jabroni Jimmy’s pockets.
And in typical Ohio fashion, they couldn’t even earn a commitment, because again, why would you send the Super Bowl to Cleveland when cities like Miami, New Orleans, Atlanta, Los Angeles or even cold-weather ones like Chicago exist?
I am a man who largely runs on spite. I’m not ashamed to admit that, either. And I swear to all Gods old and new, that I will haunt every legislator who enables this scam until they die.
This week in Ohio Man…
Here’s a good look at the type of people enabled by the anti-LGBTQ, anti-DEI, anti-woke death march at the Ohio Statehouse.
From Jordan Unger of newsnation.com:
BEACHWOOD, Ohio (WJW) — A man who checked out dozens of books from a public library in Ohio burned them in a social media video, local authorities said.
According to the Beachwood Police Department, the man entered the Beachwood Public Library on April 2 and applied for a library card.
Investigators said he then checked out 50 books “on topics including Jewish history, African American history and LGBTQ education,” the police report said.
A library official told police she was later contacted by Princeton University’s Bridging Divides Initiative, a group that reports suspected hate crimes online.
If I go into Kroger and get caught stealing $100 in groceries, I would be arrested and charged with a crime.
I fail to see how checking out 50 books from a library with the sole intent of burning them for social media clout is any different? Somehow, I doubt this will be treated the same by local police and prosecutors.
Because it surely won’t be mentioned by any of our reactionary state legislators pushing the same agenda on Capitol Square.
