Village Idiot of the Day, June 7, 2011: kaleeb

We took Memorial Day weekend off to visit exotic Dayton, Ohio and the next thing we knew...more than a week had passed. Oh, the stories IHC could tell, but what happens in Dayton stays in Dayton. Let's suffice: Paris, it's not.

In the meantime, back at the Rep, things have been poppin.' The new pay to play starts today. It will be interesting to see how many Reppies will pay to read local news stories to kvetch over. (BTW, in case you're stressed, IHC guarantees that Village Idiots will never have to pay to appear here at I Hate Canton.) Of course, our Reppies will stick around for freebie obits, letters, and columnists. We know they won't miss a beat calling out Charita for being an uppity literate black woman or to continue to sprew their own racism in the public's eye at her expense. Naturally, IHC will stick around for the whole show. If we can afford a week in Dayton, we can surely afford a 'net sub to the Rep.

Catching up on the news tonight, we thought we'd check out the latest on Ohio State's newest drain on its ever-leaking gene pool, Terrelle Pryor and tripped over kaleeb pumpin' his/her/its own gene pool out into a great black hole. It was exciting!

Seldom, if ever, has it been our pleasure to see the 105 year old NCAA (National Collegiate Atheltic Association) so eloquently exposed and dismissed as the commie-leftist, Obama pre-Wilsonian shill it obviously is. And here we thought it was Republicanily paternalistic. We are forever grateful for the clarification!

Laying it all out so even a caveman could understand it, kaleeb's comment is surely in the running for the national I Hate Canton Village Idiot Championship of the Year scheduled for late December 2011.

Under OSU's Pryor Will Not Return for Senior Season, kaleeb wrote:

the ncaa are a bunch of jerkarshs. gee and smith are fine. the ncaa is nothing but a government like obama's, inept, stupid, overbearing, too much full of its own self and on and on.

the punks at the ncaa are faceless idiots that are comparable to the irs, the naacp, the leftist communists in the whitehouse and socialists like those that love to deny free enterprise to prosper.

now, let the union idiots post !!!

While we were considering some other nominations for Village Idiot of the Day, kaleeb blew us right out of the water with his/her/its unique talent for expressing what all of us feel.

The hunt for our June 7, 2011 Village Idiot stopped right there. Congratulations, kaleeb! You are not only a Village Idiot but a hero.

Experimental Writing v Posting While Drunk: A Short Observation

No Village Idiot today. Just a few comments about something we'd like to see more of at the Rep: experimental comment writing--not to be confused with posting while drunk.

But, first, does it seem to you as it does to I Hate Canton, that some of our Reppies tipple a bit before they hit their keys?

In real life, IHC has witnessed this phenomenon in the field in which we work. One regular poster to several forums and blogs we frequent, likes to hit the bottle on Friday nights--and you can always tell. Sometimes she returns in the morning and nukes her posts--especially when other posters remark about her oddities of logic, sense, and grammar. It's become rather a sport to archive her ravings to toss back at her at an appropriate moment.

IHC, though, really hadn't thought much about Reppies posting while drunk. They seem to be unbalanced enough without any outside influences. Of course, one could claim that Just S tom has been on a year-long bender, though we prefer to think of our resident millionaire (see entry directly below) as just plain dumb.

We were surprised then to see the following post from the usually sober bobg telling us in yesterday's Rep, just how he feels about Ron Paul, under the Ron Paul Stands for Preserving Liberty and Keeping Family Values thread. To the untrained eye it reads a little boozy:

bobg

He supports the nuts Waco Ruby Ridge he is mitlita go away he is a waste he is like the antiChrist

We don't remember bobg posting much, but he never struck us as some illiterate millionaire, and English doesn't seem to be his second language as we thought in our youth might be the case with kaleeb. Upon reading this comment, though, we initially thought Bob had joined the ranks of the comment tippling, (or was trying his hand at Haiku, and failing miserably). But as we read it out loud several times, we began to see what Bob was doing. He's writing a prose poem about 9/11 America. Or better yet, a song!

Remember the Beatles Come Together? Take any verse. This is the one IHC likes best:

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

There's a similarity in style and beat (spelling posted as posted). Or maybe we're drinking.

He supports the nuts

Waco Ruby Ridge

he is mitlita

go away

he is a waste

he is like the antiChrist

OK, it needs some work, and Bob's no John Lennon. IHC, however, would like to see more of Bob's experimental work. We don't want to see him limited to traditional American prose, such as this, which he also wrote yesterday in resonse to Kennth Floom's assertion that world peace can be brought about by outlawing abortion.

bobg

If Next Generation is to Know Peace ,We Should Stop Abortion Now

I would wish people would let women control there own bodies. With the morning after pill abortions should be down . These right to lifers want to save every serial killer Why do the prolifers get to make someone have a baby when they choose not to have a baby what gives them the right to tell a woman to not have a abortion. I don't see these prolifers picking up the bill to pay for all these unwanted kids.

A worthy sentiment for sure, but Bob, hype it up a little! You could have a whole new career ahead of you.

Congratulations to SARTA, Mary Cirelli!

A big blue ribbon for Stark Countians who yesterday voted a 66% margin to continue funding SARTA. Buses are not "welfare!"

Do those who oppose SARTA and the renewal of a minimal inclusive levy actually believe that any new business would move to the area without a public transportation system in place?

Silly us! The naysayers don't care. We may be I Hate Canton, but we have long been convinced that our Reppies are the ones who really hate Canton. Nothing more would please them than for the city to crumple into a big chuckhole never to be heard of again. We suspect that our Reppie haters are those who always wanted to leave town (doesn't everybody want to leave where they came from?) but didn't have the wherewithal or courage to do it, so now they take their self-hatred out on the city and the rest of us who don't see Canton as a the ultimate gulag.

The good news about SARTA passage, SARTA Crusies to Win, full of congratulations and good cheer from normal, logical people attracted the usual suspects (where's ocean? chopping down trees?) to lament the "loss" of their $2.50 per $1000 of taxable purchases. ($50.00 per $20,000 taxable purchases). Alas! They still won't be able to afford that extra carton of cigarettes next year.

So...Sarta can continue running its inept bus line with fares which don't support its operations. There's good business for you (not)

kaleeb

here is an example where voter ignorance costs us taxpayer money. a small activist group passes another burden on taxpayers.

a real flaw in the system that feeds an animal that knows no way to sustain itself.

dumb dumb and dumber !! dirty buses, empty buses and inefficient ! the supporters are typical liberal

Spendthrifts. now they can continue to ride to pick up welfare checks

taxedtoomuch
It is just so wonderful for the SARTA riders and bad news for the taxpayers. I followed an empty bus just this morning. Not a good use of taxpayer money. I have never seen more than three people on a large SARTA bus, even on Cleveland Ave.

I voted my absentee ballot against SARTA, since with working two jobs, I had no opportunity to show up to the poll. This system is broken and it isn't going to be any better until it is forced to improve.

And, I figured it would pass, but I still voted NO. Contrary to the attitude of some posters, those of us who voted no aren't necessarily bad people. Just people who are fed up with working to allow others to live off of our incomes

We have already named our May 3 VID winners (see previous entry), so we will just let these kvetchers stew for the day. As Scarlett so famously reminded us, "after all, tomorrow is another day."

We'd also like to congratulate Mary Cirelli for her win-- first in a 3 out of 5 race for council at large. Mary is a stalwart who loves Canton, and unlike Reppies and brain and gene drained politicians, has served Canton and Stark County with honesty and integrity for years. Her work against fraking has been outstanding. Read what the Rep wrote about Cirelli this morning:

I’m not a politician; I’m a public servant,” Cirelli said.

Believe it.

She may be a former state representative and county commissioner, but she didn’t spend any money on her re-election bid this year. Cirelli said she “campaigns” by doing her job as councilman.

I Hate Canton knows Miss Mary personally, and we are are thrilled at her knockout victory and re-election, for we cannot imagine her losing in November.

And no, kaleeb, Mary Cirelli is NOT a socialist!
