Go Ahead, Have A Laugh At Someone Else’s Expense

The Old Teenage Son Excuse Won’t Work This Time

Back in October we passed on a story about Ohio Rep. Matthew Barrett showing a picture of a topless woman during a presentation to a high school government class. At the time Barrett was “shocked” and claimed that he didn’t know how the photo hadn’t gotten on his flash drive. Since then, Barrett has referred to the situation as a “family affair” and House Minority Leader Joyce Beatty has said that the problem is between Barrett his wife and his teenage son. Well, turns out it’s not. Barrett may have seemed like he was in the clear by blaming his horny son for downloading some porn, but the truth of the matter is that the two topless women on the flash drive actually live in Barrett’s district and the man has now resigned. You’d think they would have suspected this guy was a perv sooner, just look at the photo that accompanies this article. That stare could make dogs whimper.

Bush Still Late on the Whole Emergency Thing

President Bush recently declared a state of emergency for 17 counties in Ohio. What for, you ask? The snow that hit between March 7th and March 9th. The counties involved sure must be happy to get funding over a month after they need it. It’s good to see the President’s memory is as sharp as always. Wait, I’m not supposed to send emergency aid well after the emergency?

If Your Coworker is Not in Today, He May Have Been Busted for Prostitution

Last night Cleveland police had themselves a prostitution crackdown. In an area “known for prostitution” the cops busted a number of men and women. Is it really that smart for the cops to admit that there was any area they knew was involved in crime and yet they didn’t do anything about it until now? The police also wanted us all to know that 90 percent of the men arrested during these crackdowns are from the suburbs. One man arrested told police that the woman asked him to “hang out” so he said okay. What he failed to tell the officers was that she asked this question while unzipping his pants. Unfortunately you can’t have a good laugh at your neighbors yet because the names of the men arrested have not been released. The lurid details here.

Another Crazy Cat Lady Story

Sheffield Lake has a law in place that allows residents to own only four cats per home. After reports of a strong odor and possible unhealthy living conditions came in about a 77-year-old woman’s home, authorities investigated to find that the woman was living among 60-90 cats. Needless to say that just kind of, sort of, barely goes past the limit. Council members must now decide whether to enforce the law, which carries a fine of $150 a day, or to change the law. Meanwhile the woman says that if the law is enforced she will simply move to a place where her and her cats can live, you know, like Ohio City. I sort of want her to move just to see the car ride.
