Rep Down!

Just as we were culling yesterday's dross for the daily award, the Repository site went down. Emails are also bouncing. Perhaps the return of Octopup over the last few days, and the personal attack on Don Cirelli (below) made Editor Jeff pack up his newspaper and go home. We wouldn't blame him. It sounds like the Rep is having serious problems, and we wish its techies well.

We are not sure which thread the offending comment was posted under as it was sent to us privately without a reference. It may be the "Tea Party" story. We have paragraphed it for reading ease.

SourdoughSal
Don, I guess the childish homosexual reference leads me to believe you are not really comfortable with your sexuality! Anyhow, I do not know what you people wish to call yourselves-democrats, liberals, progressives, prolitariat? Remember the last 8 years? The protests? The rage? The indignation? Well, hold onto your hat but we are not willing to let our freedoms be taken away by your regime without OUR voices being heard!

By the way, I just wondered-if you B.O. followers want handouts, and everything down to your lightbulb choice decided for you,,,,,why don't you go to Cuba or Venezuela? The woman from the Democratic black caucus decided that Communism was not so bad because in her words 'they have ice cream!' So, instead of ruining the lives of 300 million people and dooming my child to a life of utter servitude, why don't you just hurry on down there. OK? bye bye now!

Just remember--no one has ever died on a boat trying to escape the US for Cuba!

We don't know if our gal Sal is an OP entity. Except for the first sentence (typical OP juvenela) he/she/it sounds too "intelligent," but a seeming lack of intelligence is an OC trick to throw us off the track. No matter! We are glad that Sal, who was given the June 22, 2009 Village Idiot award for declaring Hitler a leftie, is back splatting herself in the muck.

If Sal is reading this, be assured your child is welcome to serve his or her servitude under the strong hand of I Hate Canton. We'll give our little dishwasher every other Wednesday afternoon off to visit you in the crazy people's home.

Update: The Rep is up and running. We can't believe, however, that Sourdough Sal's disgraceful comment still stands. Where are the Rep moderators who are oh-so quick to remove inoffensive comments or comments from those who seek to defend themselves from vicious posters ? The comment is under Let's Get Specific About Lost Freedoms

Village Idiot of the Day, July 8, 2009: dlarson, catangel, nini1, missamym, mjfan62509, Windsor

Misogyny.

We all knew it would follow the Escola/England story. Next to blacks, "liberals" and (in political season) the mentally retarded, no class of uppities deserve comeuppance more than women. Why, only a few weeks ago, Marcia Mammone got exactly what she deserved when her ex-husband murdered her two small children and her mother. Just ask "Braxton." Well, to be fair Braxton"posited that Mammone should have just killed his ex and let her family sort it out later.

To celebrate the removal of evil temptress Janine England from the Perry police we find the following comments posted under Trustees Fire Janine England During Special Meeting

catangel
SHE GOT EXACTLY WHAT SHE DESERVED!!!! PLAY WITH FIRE YOU GET BURNED..... SO BURN YOU HOME WRECKER OH DON'T WORRY YOUR UGLY FACE YOUR REAL JUDGMENT WILL HAPPEN IN YOUR DISMAL FUTURE YOU MADE FOR YOUR SELF BECAUSE YOU WERE JUST BEING A HORNY LITTLE SLUT.

nini1
Yuck!!! Not even resembling anything worth risking your job for!! What is he--100? She must be a real hum-dinger!!! How'd she even get that job?? Pull her app from sluts r us or 'kiss up' for it too?? She that hard up? or just a gold-digger? Glad she wasn't responsible for my area's safety!! Bye-bye-bye kiddo!

missamyn
Thank God! Now the male officers working for Perry can go to work, do their jobs and not worry about her causing more problems... wives/girlfriends of the Perry cops can relax now!

dlarson
Why are women doing police work anyway? The women are doing mens jobs, Working on the street department, why can't they get a job doing what women are suppose to do? They look like they are working caring that little flag around directing traffice . Its sickening! Who hires these women? Here we are , men out of work and the women are doing our job, Nothing against women, but they should be home with there kids and taking care of the house etc. If they have to work, well, maybe they need to cut back and stop living beyond their means. Thank God someone at Perry came to their right mind. Good thing she is off of that department, I wouldn't want her stopping my son.

mjfan62509
She looks like trouble

Windsor
A women cannot perform as well as a man in many instances.you know it's true.

We guess Sampson....er we mean, Tim Escola...just couldn't help himself. We know if we were an upright law enforcement patriarch as Escola was, even we would find it impossible to escape the web of Ms. Hot Cop's charms. Of course, we have our own suspicions. It would appear from the picture at the right that Deputy England has actually removed Chief Escola's revolver from its holster and is pointing it at his...well, you know... in order to safely force her kisses on him, unmolested. Whatever. Think of it this way: Tim Escola played so we won't have to.

In celebration of Stark County Misogyny, we award "nothing against women" dlarson the grand prize Village Idiot of the Day Award, July 8, 2009. Moreoever, we share his or hers relief that Deputy England never pulled dlarson fils over. God knows what horrors he may have been forced to endure at the depraved lips of Delilah.

Our second place award is shared by nini1, windsor, and catangel.

We believe that catangel articulates the rightful anger of MRS. Escola at the moment, but since the poster made no suggestion that other women pay for the sins of Ms England we have granted catangel secondary status. If catangel wishes to be considered for a Grand Prize in the future on the subject of Janine England we recommend that an amended comment be posted condemning all women everywhere for Deputy England's actions. It's what women deserve.

Honorable mentions go to missamyn and mjfan62509.

In addition to receiving Wednesday's award, all of our winners receive a complementary viewing of "The Trouble with Women," in the hope that they will change their attitudes toward women, especially women in the workforce. At the end of the film our winners are expected to write a 500 word essay, submitted to I Hate Canton: "What's the Trouble with Me." The essays will be posted here.

The Trouble with Women:

Exclusive! I Hate Canton Catches Carnal Cops on Video

I Hate Canton is proud to present this exclusive video of Perry's most famous law enforcement power couple: Tim Escola and Janine England. The couple was caught on I Hate Canton's hidden CopCam an hour after Officer England was dismissed from the Perry Police Department on the grounds of “inexcusable” actions unbecoming an officer.

Remember! You saw it here first!

Repository: watch it and weep. Journalism at it's finest!

Village Idiot of the Day, July 7,2009" ohiodude

I Hate Canton needed a butterfly net to catch all the idiots scampering through the Rep yesterday. Obama. Taxes. Tea Parties, Republicans. Democrats. Socialists. Liberals. Sarah Palin. Perry Heights. Gangbangers.

Nothing though, tops the comments about Michael Jackson, specifically the comments posted by ohiodude about MJ. It takes a special kind of person to write these things.

Read for yourself

Television Networks Planning Jackson Coverage (comment removed)
ohiodude

PS: You'll find ohiodude here also, where he ridiculed the mentally retarded. What a winner!

Update: Something Had to Give: Village Idiot Janine England Fired by Village Idiot Perry Trustees

Our Village Idiot was hardly off the press when word came down that Janine England has been fired by the Perry Township trustees. According to the Rep, Perry trustees refused to accept her resignation turned in shortly before their meeting today, and booted her instead. Deputy England's letter of resignation read in part:

It is with great regret that I announce my resignation effective today the 7th of July 2009. Even though my work history with the police department was exemplary, due to the recent media attention to this matter I firmly believe this would be in the best interest of the Perry Police Department. I sincerely hope this matter can be put to rest from now on and all parties can move forward.

Exemplary?

England started working for the Perry police on April 13 and commenced her relationship with Escola on May 18 which lasted "officially" until June 25 the day they were clandestinely popped. Dates apparently determined by emails confiscated by the trustees. Who knows what they're doing now. I Hate Canton did not run into them on our summer expedition into the wilds of Ohio, but that doesn't mean that they weren't nesting in some comfy car wash or a cozy cove near Sippo Lake.

We sympathize with England and Escola. As Frank Sinatra sang Somethin's Gotta Give (and he should know!). What were they to do? Go home to their respective spouses?

When an irresistible force such as you
Meets an old immovable object like me
You can bet just as sure as you live
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give
Somethin's gotta give




England's firing does not invalidate anyone's recent award. Village Idiots all!

Village Idiot of the Week, July 2-July 7, 2009: Tim Escola, Janine England, Charles Hall, Perry Township Trustees

For most of the time I Hate Canton was summering on the edges of Ohio's frontier and was hence, offline, hell bubbled over in Perry Heights. To whit: the romantic antics of (now former) Perry Police Chief Tim Escola and his probationary Deputy Dawg, Janine England:

She tugs at his shirt sleeve with her teeth. He caresses her right cheek.

They smile.

Officer Janine England rests her head on the shoulder of her boss, then-Police Chief Tim Escola, as they travel together in the front seat of a police cruiser June 2. They went to the Cincinnati area to bring a burglary suspect back to Stark County.


Due to the time that's gone by since this story broke, I Hate Canton will not reiterate the unappetizing and salacious details. You know them anyway. Just go to the Rep's search engine and type in "Escola." Here, though, is the video of the frontseat event that was released to the Rep. (so far, it has over 75,000 hits!) It's only 2 minutes long. Being salacious ourselves, I Hate Canton would love to see the rest of the 7 hour tape to confirm our feeling that Chief Escola is indeed THAT boring at the wheel or anyplace else.





Back in the old days this tryst wouldn't have been news except around election time. Canton and Stark County cops hung out in brothels, blind pigs, gin joints, and gambling dens. If you needed a cop, you went to Cherry Street or Rex Avenue, not the doughnut shop.

Back in the old days, a reprobate cop would have been busted by a reformist do-gooder with a Bible or a Guide to Good Government in hand.

Today our constabulary is forced to take vice where it can...from its own ranks... in the front seat of a police cruiser...on a road trip... with Ms Hottie Cop.

Today, the reprobate busts himself by technology gone awry.

I Hate Canton loves the idea of the "on" button being pushed inadvertently by the passionate bump of a stray knee, hand, or forehead during that ride up from Cinci. We expect, though, it's not that clumsy or fun.

There has been much speculation that Escola was straight up set up by Perry Heights professional Escola haters, though how this might be accomplished is a bit fantastical. Last night's Stark County Political Report, gives a more plausible explanation of how the smoochies were caught on CopCam. Martin Olson, summarizing one of his unnamed sources,writes of what he has dubbed Perrygate:

As a parenthetical, an area law official tells the SCPR that this is an unusual arrangement. First, chief very rarely go pick up prisoners, and, second rookie officers are not normally chosen for the task either.

Obviously, with the publication of a video on line showing Escola and England kissing, someone had turned on the camera recording inside the police car activities. The Report's source believes that the person was Ms. England. However, the turn-on is not thought to be purposeful, but inadvertently (she did not understand exactly how to operate the camera).

From there the tape, upon routine review, made its murky way to Perry Township Trustee Anna Capaldi, who had a "problem" with the chief. As quick as you can say Marion Berry, Escola proffered his resignation.

This makes a lot more sense to us than a merceneary Deputy Dawg England surreptitiously taping herself and her boss making whoopee driving down the road in a police cruiser with a prisoner snug in the backseat. A confusing career move to the top of the cop heap in Perry, especially after her sexual harassment and racial discrimination suit against the Montville Township (Medina County) police where she was employed previously.

We cannot let this go without commendation. We were first tempted to award Officer Escola the Blue Ribbon he so justly deserves, but the prize really needs to be shared with Deputy Janine England, Perry Law Director Charles Hall, and the Perry Township Board of Trustees, who for their own eccentric reasons haven't removed England from her job:

Law Director Charles Hall said Wednesday afternoon that England was “under direct command” of her boss. And, he said, both officers were engaged in similar behavior.. “I don’t think I can reprimand her for a department violation when he’s there and engaging in the same activity,” Hall said....Unless new and compelling information surfaces, Hall said he sees “no reason to continue” with the investigation...Hall said England remains an officer in “good standing” despite her actions, and continues to serve her one-year probationary period that is standard for new Perry officers.

In other words:
  • It's OK to monkey around on the taxpayer dime if the other monkey is your boss.
  • It's OK to monkey around on the tax payer dime if both monkeys are agreeable
  • It's OK to monkey around on the taxpayer dime if one of the monkeys resigns
  • It's OK to monkey around om the taxpayer dime if we say it's OK
We, therefore, grant Officer Timothy Escola, Deputy Janine England, Charles Hall, and the entire Perry Township Board of Trustees the Village Idiot of the WEEK award, July 2-7, 2009

We also issue our warmest congratulations to now former prisoner Matthew Ruble (he was released upon return to Stark County and all charges dropped) for remaining calm during what must have been a cruel and unusual punishment experience.

July 5th Canton Tea Party 2

It's taking longer to get caught up than we anticipated, so I Hate Canton will make a couple sweeping observations (in separate blogs) and then get back to the day-to-day humdrum that is Canton.

Sunday, July 5 marked Canton's second "Tea Party" Depending on who's talking, it was a resounding success (1000 people crowded in and around the downtown "Kresge lot") or a resounding failure (a few hundred crowded in and around the downtown "Kresge lot"). The Beacon Journal has better coverage, btw.

What actually happened at the "Kresge lot" was not exactly "revolutionary." A bunch of people carrying signs and dim-witted wannabe politicos pimping themselves out as tax cutters, something that is (small c)onstitutionally impossible for them, as members of the professional lying class, to be. Innocent-minded Canton teabaggers apparently didn't boo their speakers as they did in Texas and South Carolina. When's the next tea party?

Judging from pictures we've seen, innocence carried over to signbytes: "Socialism Kills Creativity, Productivity, and Freedom." The over 200-year- old American individualist socialist tradition was anti-government, mutuialist, and self-reliant. It posited that socialism would separate "man" from state through voluntary association; thus, giving time and energy for creativity, productivity, and freedom for those who refused to bow to flag and boss; their labor and fruits thereof, shared amongst them.

These historical socialists were a frightfully unmaterial lot. Think Brook Farm, Oneida (below right) New Harmony, the Rappites, the Shakers, the Moravians, The Christian Commonwealth of Georgia, Amana, Ephrata, Nashoba. Ohio was home to dozens of religious and secular socialist experiments including Kendal (Massillon), Marlborough Association (Alliance) and nearby Zoar and Gnattenhuten, (both in Tusc. County), Teutonia and Spirit Fruit Society ( both in Columbiana County) and the early Mormon community in Kirtland.

If Marx and those damned French hadn't politicized and regimented socialism we could now be spending our time sipping lemonade on the porch, reading Nathaniel Hawthorne and Emerson, drawing pastels, and practicing civil discourse, instead of carping on the pages of the Rep.

I Hate Canton, after deep contemplation, has concluded, though, that neither capitalism nor socialism is fertile soil for creativity, productivity and freedom. Both are anomalies. In the words of that old commie, Bertholt Brecht, "The world is poor and man's a shit/And that is all there is to it!"

I Hate Canton is amused at the number of locals who still don't understand why the term "teabagging" emits guffaws from the rest of us.

Since this is a family friendly blog, go wiki to see what real teabagging is. Frankly, we prefer the Whiskey Rebellion.

I Hate Canton Back Online

In case you've been wondering (and you probably haven't) I Hate Canton has been summering for the past few days. Internet access was so bad that even dial-up couldn't get through. We were forced to spend our vacation reading a 600 page book and watching the interminable Wimbleton followed by an even more interminable volleyball tournament. At least it wasn't golf.

We have returned to our lair buried deep benneath the McKinley Monument and should return tomorrow.

Repository Beefs Up Security

This afternoon Jeff Gauger announced a beef-up of comment security, and in so many words, de-tentacle and isolate our Octopuppet. We are astounded that a newspaper has to go to these lengths to protect the integrity of readers, advertisers, and the paper itself. You'd think people of a certain age would know how to act in public.

Several new procedures, including real-person net nannying, are stop-gap measures until the promised new registration system is in place, which may be a few months from now.

Here are some of the new procedures. Go over to Gauger's blog to read them all.

Starting today, any new registered user will automatically be set to require editor review before publication. Until now, all new users’ comments have published immediately.

We’ll move new users to “trusted” status when we’re persuaded they can be, well, trusted, and only then will their comments publish immediately. Users who register under obviously fake names (Bugs Bunny, Canton Commenter, I M Smart, etc.) and provide a free e-mail address (@yahoo.com, @gmail.com, @live.com) will have a higher bar to cross to persuade us they can be trusted.

We can't decide if Octopuppet and its entities are laughing or fuming. A day without posting must be like a day without arsenic for it. Has Editor Gauger reduced Octopup's days to watching reruns of Deal or No Deal or dusting its CDs? We can't imagine that its taking this assault lying down, though a good long rest, preferably in a padded cell, is warranted. More likely, it's reading Trolling 4 Dummies to figure how to subvert decency.

The I Hate Canton SWAT team will be on the lookout for escapees.

Thanks, Jeff!

Village Idiot of the Day, July 1, 2009: Anti-Bilderberg, ottetrk1

It was only a matter of time until someone calling him/herself "Anti-Bilderberger" showed up on the pages of the Rep to warn of the impending demise of American sovereignty and the establishment of One World Government at the hands of the filthy rich.

If you've never heard of the Bilderbergers don't worry. The only people who have are the John Birch Society, conspiracy theorists, Phyllis Schlafly, and I Hate Canton and its close associates who follow wingnuts (Bilderbergers have been IHC's personal favorites since 1961).

Th BilderbergGroup/Bilderberg Club was organized and promoted in 1954 by prominent American and Western European figures including well-known revolutionary Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, radical wealth re-distributor and deadbeat commie Paul Rijkens, at the time head of the multinational Unilever Corp. (For a list of Unilever's current brands go here. (It's nearly everything you've got in your kitchen and bathroom that's not nailed down); and Eisenhower psych-ops head, C D. Jackson. Steeped in Cold War politics and mythology, its purpose was to discuss how the US and Western Europe could cross the cultural divide and address their common enemy: communism. It's first meeting was funded in part by the CIA and the Ford Foundation and later by the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Endowment. Depending on where you stand on the political spectrum, the Bilderbergers are either evil rich one-worlders (right) or evil rich power brokers (left). Most people don't care.

Over the years the Bilderberg cabal of lounge lizards, rich playboys and partygirls, anarchists, communists, rioters and bomb tossers have included the Great Satans David Rockefeller, former NATO Secretary-General Lord Peter Carrington, British Prime Minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home, King Juan Carlos of Spain, Henry Kissinger, Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Condi Rice, World Bank President Robert Zoellick, European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso, board members from IBM, Xerox, Royal Dutch Shell, Nokia, and Daimler, and most recently Karen Sibelius. (No word if Osama bin Laden has been extended an invitation).

The Bilderbergers hold a yearly conference in fancy schmancy places like St. Simons Island, Ottawa, Athens and the Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia, where they map out their nefarious strategy to overthrow the US government (or hold on to it, depending on how you see things). After all, why do a video conference on your lunch break when you can dance the night away with Queens Sophia and Beatrix, Bill Moyers, and sexy Don Rumsfeld, and control the world while doing it?

Nobody knows exactly what the Bilderbergers do , though they seem to talk a lot about things like nuclear war and terrorism. They are so elite and arrogant they don't even have a webpage. (Don't be fooled by the tacky www. bilderberg.org). IHC hasn't gone through the Yahoo Group list to see if they're there, but somehow we bet not.

The press is barred from the Bilderberger yearly confab, and the group (double gasp!) doesn't issue any statements. Since it's all secret, they must be up to no good. Unlike the rightwing Council on National Policy here in the US that bars the press, doesn't issue any statements, and includes on its membership roster, Howard Phllips, Grover Norquist, Oliver North, Holland Coors, Richard DeVos, Sarah Palin, Heritage Foundation bigwigs...and Phyllis Schflaly.

We were thrilled yesterday, then, to learn through the superduper research of Anti-Bilderberger that the filthy rich are behind Cap and Trade.

Anti-Bilderberger
Questions and Answers about the US Climate Bill
This money will be used to fund a world government this money will go to the new bank of the world. Remember Obama is just a puppet like the past 6 presidents were. We must look past Obama and realize who the real power structure of the planet is The Bilderberg group, trilateral commision, and the Council on Foreign Relations run the world. Which include members of the Rothchild family David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger who gave Barack Obama his first job out of college 30 years ago. And of course the Private Federal Reserve. Call congress to help the pass bill HR 1207 which will Audit the Federal Reserve who I believe causes all our problems.

Fortutiously dropped under this same thread is otterk1's call for REVOLUTION! While I Hate Canton supports revolution (and, in fact suggests we start by gobbling up some stray Bilderbergers), we are curious as to how Mr. or Ms. Otter intends to orchestrate this particular revolution from a Barcalounger in Canton, Ohio. We are also concerned that his/her one party--the AMERICAN PARTY-- government proposal sounds a bit, hmmm....communistic. What happens if one prefers coffee over tea?

ottertk1
The time for Tea Parties is over. It's now time for the Revolution to begin. All those people who were buying guns and stock piling ammunition were not doing it because they feared Obama would take away their guns. They were preparing for the Revolution that they knew was coming. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights will be restored and all these power and money hungry politicians will be out of office. We will have only one party, the AMERICAN Party.

Despite some minor misgivings, I Hate Canton is so excited about this pairing. We suggest that Anti-Bilderberger and otterk1 hook up. I Hate Canton is more than happy to facilitate this meeting of great minds, and who knows what else. We, therefore, name Anti-Bilderberger and ottertk1 co-recepients of the June 30 Village Idiot award. We hope your introduction to each other on IHC will bring forth mutual and bountiful fruit.
