State Of Ohio May Build A Bar For State Lawmakers!

In a precedent setting move that will almost certainly start a wave of copy-cat behavior, the state of Ohio has announced that officials are debating whether they should build a bar in the basement of the statehouse!

Poor Bastard  lawmakers from around the state are rallying support for the move saying it would cut down on their entertainment expenses and help prevent embarrassing incidents involving drunken Poor Bastard politicians such as the recent arrest of Ohio Rep. Robert Mecklenborg, who was picked up for drunk driving while in the company of a teenage stripper. Blood tests performed on Poor Bastard Mecklenborg showed that he was not only loaded with alcohol but Viagra as well!

Poor Bastard Robert Mecklenborg, an Ohio state representative, is seen here after his recent arrest for drunk driving. Police reports indicate the Poor Bastard  was "loaded with alcohol and Viagra" after being found in the company of a young stripper...









If approved Ohio would become the first state to operate a statehouse bar. Opponents say the move would be inappropriate because schoolchildren frequent the facility for field trips and other events.

To which supporters have responded that Drunken Poor Bastards are already a fixture at state functions, where alcohol flows freely and elected officials are regularly seen staggering around as they work the room glad-handing and schmoozing with wealthy campaign donors and other Malingering Poor Bastards!...

And besides, what school-aged child in Ohio hasn't seen their own Poor Bastard parents stumbling around the house with an Old Milwaukee tall-boy clutched in their hand?

If approved the High Council of the Fraternal Order of the Poor Bastard is prepared to recognize the state of Ohio as nation's first Genuine Poor Bastard State of Affairs for its bold effort to navigate the uncharted waters of drunken statesmanship!

Poor Bastard Limerick of The Day

An anonymous reader recently contacted The Poor Bastard's Gazette suggesting that we post a Limerick of The Day as a way of providing general entertainment for Poor Bastards throughout The Kingdom.

Our concerned reader included the following diddy as a public service-

There was a young lady from Norway

Who hung by her heels in the doorway

She said to her beau,

Hey, look at me, Joe!

I think that I’ve just found one more way.

Another Political Pickle up For Grabs.....

Well, well, well.......what do we have here?

The IndyStar.com website is reporting that Phillip Hinkle, an Indiana Republican State Senator and soon to be True Poor Bastard who helped pass the state's law banning gay marriage, apparently spends his spare time there at the capital trolling the internet for gay teenage sex partners....

Not that the Grand Poo Ba spends all of his time sitting around here at the Poor Bastard World Headquarters looking for this kind of story, but when this one was brought to his attention by a faithful follower of The Poor Bastard's Gazette, the editorial staff felt it was imperative that we give equal time to Deviant Poor Bastard republicans, considering the recent rash of democratic politicians who have been caught flashing their political pickle in front of an adoring internet audience.....

Indiana Republican State Senator Phillip Hinkle and Degenerate Poor Bastard is seen here attempting to flag down a 16 year-old capital page during a session of the Indianan State Legislature....



The following excerpt from IndyStar.com provides a gruesome blow by blow description of one recent encounter that occurred after Hinkle responded to a post on the infamous website Craigslist....

The emails, sent from Hinkle’s publicly listed personal address, ask the young man for “a couple hours of your time tonight” and offer him cash up front, with a tip of up to $50 or $60 for “a really good time.”


The email exchange is in response to the Craigslist posting in which the young man — who lists his age as 20 in the ad but says he is 18 years old — says, “I need a sugga daddy.”


The young man told The Star that they met, but that he tried to leave after the man told him he was a state lawmaker. He said the lawmaker at first told him he could not leave, grabbed him in the rear, exposed himself to the young man and then later gave him an iPad, BlackBerry cellphone and $100 cash to keep quiet.

Since this story first broke on Friday of last week, fellow state lawmakers have publicly come forth encouraging the Poor Bastard to resign his post.....Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels adding that he was "sad about it" and called it "a personal family tragedy."

Yeah Governor......I'll be the whole state of Indiana is all choked up as well!
