It's Porno Time

Funny how the word "porno" is such an attention grabber. If I wrote 'carrots" or 'snow shovel' I doubt it would elicit a response. I am, however, holding off on the erotica for awhile. There are a couple of observations I made from one of my favorite venues; the Dublin rec center. I wanted to get on a treadmill today; no problem. The man next to me was already using one and the TV directly in front of him had CNN on it. Understand, I hate CNN but only because of Ted Turner, his former wife, Jane Fonda, Larry King and the puff pieces they do on liberals all around the world. "Running Man" wasn't really watching anything but, being as polite as possible, I asked if I could switch channels. He gave me the okay---until I switched to Fox News. He then had a hissy fit and made me turn back to the original channel but did say I could turn to MSNBC. I'd stick 3,000 degree heated needles in my eyes before this'd happen. Sweet revenge, though. Just as it went back to CNN George Bush came on for an interview that lasted twenty minutes. In adition, There was another TV off to the side that was carrying the Eric Holder hearings. You remember Holder. He's up for Attorney General. He was Assistant Attorney General in the Clinton administration who signed off on the Marc Rich pardon, the FALN Puerto Rican pardons along with giving the okay to make a midnight grab of five year old Elian Gonzalez while the kid was looking down the barrel of a gun.
I wish just once, the pain in the rear Republicans would 'bork' someone, even if he's a White house janitor. One thought I had on Mr. Holder is: someone must have hit him in both eyes with a bag of nickels or he's part raccoon. I'm trying not to be petty but he needs a make-up artist--and fast.
Betcha thought I forgot about the porn thing. Uh-uh! I live in beautiful Dublin, Ohio. It's a quaint place; downtown Dublin is old and has maintained it's charm even though the population has grown rather quickly in the last twenty years. There are many shops constructed of stone, just like you'd find in an Irish Village. Dublin is a suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Big secret coming up: Columbus is the fifteenth largest city in the US, directly behind San Antonio. Or, it might be the other way around. Anyway, Dublin became famous when Jack Nicklaus built a terrific golf course at Muirfield Village and has his Memorial Golf Tournament there every year. I happen to live a softball throw away from the course. Don't get the wrong idea. If I sold my condo I still couldn't afford the initiation fee. The only way I can get into this complex is to put on camouflage gear and crawl on my belly at night.
Porn? Relax, I'm getting to it.
There was a very interesting article in the Columbus Dispatch this morning and it was above the fold. We had a sex sting operation in Dublin last night. Arrested was, Robert Eric McFadden. He promoted himself, allegedly, on the internet as the King of Porn. He had some other kinky names for himself but it's all to familiar a situation. Furthermore, he fashions himself as the leader of a prostitution ring that advertised on Craig's List. He might have made a mistake when one of his for sale trinkets turned out to be a 17-year old and she's blabbing to the Feds. This sting has been going on for a couple of months. It's already snared a couple of folks, one of them being an academic adviser at The Ohio State University, a real-estate agent and a sex-abuse case worker at the Franklin County Children Services. Oh, did I mention that McFadden was hired in February of 2007 to serve as Governor Ted Strickland's Religious Outreach Director? Guys, it gets worse, a lot worse. Prior to the position with our governor he served as a Catholic(here we go again) Outreach Director for the Kerry and Hillary campaigns in Ohio. His official title was: Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good. In other words, he never went to Mass, tithed, went to communion or did charity work. What he did do was take a check. Specifically, he's another one of those Catholics who work for Abortion Rights. How is it I never hear about Southern Baptists getting caught in these sex webs? It's getting to be embarrassing telling people my religion. It's like the old days when people went into a drug store and whispered, "a pack of condoms, please". Will I have to whisper someday, "I'm a Catholic"? I haven't read or heard about the Kerry/Clinton relationship from our local media but I do have a message into the Dispatch. My source for this was, guess who, the Laura Ingraham Radio Show.
I'm sorta excited about the whole affair. McFadden is, ahem, a neighbor of mine; six degrees of separation and all that. When he gets out on bail and depending on how big a story this gets I may decide to get his autograph. If he's a great golfer I'll have to take a pass on him being a playing partner. Even I have my standards.
