Step Right Up Folks - Congressman for Sale!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends...we're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside...as the song goes.

Hurry up get your piece before...well it's doubtful the pieces will run out because Congressman John Boehner, Speaker of the House, has some pretty creative backers. I'm sure the securities and investment backers will help him create his own political derivative system. Then if he fails he can vote to bail himself out.

In a front page Enquirer story dated Feb.7, 2011 titled "Powerful Boehner a money magnet" Boehner is touted as a "prolific fundraiser." His millions in donations (over 15 mil this past election) come from some of the biggest special interest "bigs" out there. He's got 'em all. Big Pharm, Big Bank, Big Tobacco, Big Health Insurance and Big Coal.

So step right up folks! Come one, come all! You too can buy a piece of Congressman Boehner.

Ya got Big Pharm advertising new diseases every hour on TV sending millions to the doctor convinced they have a new disease, which of course requires a new prescription. Ya got Big Tobacco legally killing millions of Americans. And ya got Big Health Insurance making a profit from people getting sick. Ya got Big Bank killing off the middle class while Big Coal sacrifices lives in the name of outdated energy production as they continue to pollute the environment.

Change? Nah. The song remains the same...

Who the Hell is Cincy Cher?

Hey there Cincinnati! Cincy Cher here. An homegrown perspective. Yep, been here all my life living in the eastern burbs of Greater Cincinnati. 

Love the river. Love boating. Love the rambling hills of Cincinnati. Love Skyline, White Castle, Big Boy and Sunny Moorman. Love live music all over town. Love the arts and local artists. Love local dives, especially those on the river. Love to write. Love playing with anything digital (we'll leave that to your imagination). Champion for the little guy. Voice for the oppressed majority.

What I don't like is a bumbling city council, corrupt government, greed, paying outrageous amounts for parking downtown and the sucky Bengals. Hate too many cops on the river, on the road and working for every level of government in our system. Hate lousy drivers who don't use their turn signals. Hate bureaucracy.

But a wise man once said, "When you love something or someone, you love 'em warts and all." And I love Cincinnati...warts and all.
