Judge Michael Toomin: Another Political Pawn or Will He Do The Right Thing?

Judge Michael Toomin: Another Political Pawn or Will He Do The Right Thing?
The Chicago Machine may not be the dynamo it once was. But don’t kid yourselves – its influence is still very much alive in the fabric of Illinois Politics. As a matter of fact, the Machine has done very well in the fifty plus years I have followed it and no doubt will continue to... Read more »

New Black Panthers Bounty Understandable, But....

New Black Panthers Bounty Understandable, But....
“An eye for and eye. A tooth for a tooth” Those were the defiant words of New Black Panther Party leader Mikhail Muhammad when asked whether he was inciting violence when members offered a $10,000 reward for the capture of George Zimmerman, the Neighborhood Watch volunteer who shot an unarmed Trayvon Martin to death in...

Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse: Sugarland Attorneys Offer Strange Defense

Indiana State Fair Stage Collapse: Sugarland Attorneys Offer Strange Defense
Attorneys for the mega country duo act Sugarland may have unwittingly put a stake through the heart of their musical careers. Apparently attorneys feel that some of the blame for the carnage that occurred after the Sugarland stage collapsed is squarely on those who were killed or injured. I don’t know about anyone else, but... Read more »

Rahm Emanuel Proposes Handgun Registry and Police State With It

Rahm Emanuel Proposes Handgun Registry and Police State With It
First he wants cameras to blanket every corner of the city and now he is proposing a statewide handgun registry. Both, of course, involve the collection of fees and continuing his insatiable appetite for tapping the average citizen of every last nickel and dime. However, I think it goes beyond the money with this guy... Read more »

Anita Alvarez: A Walking Contradiction

Anita Alvarez: A Walking Contradiction
Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, in my opinion, is a walking contradiction. So much so that I seriously doubt she can be trusted when it comes to protecting the rights of “everyday citizens.” If, however, you are connected to say, the former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and his cluster of political cronies, well... Read more »

Politicians Resemble Costa Concordia's Francesco Schettino

Politicians Resemble Costa Concordia's Francesco Schettino
I have always found it amusing whenever spin doctors begin wagging the dog in favor of their ideological beliefs. However after a top Republican official, Reince Priebus, sparked a political uproar on Sunday by comparing President Barack Obama to disgraced Italian ship captain Francesco Schettino it got even more amusing. And sadder! You know, I... Read more »

Cook County Morgue And A Policeman's Act Of Kindness Long Ago

Cook County Morgue And A Policeman's Act Of Kindness Long Ago
It will be 29 years in April, but I still vividly remember the day my mother died. She hadn’t felt good for a week, but, on the day she died decided she was okay and even went out to run some errands and pick up a prescription nearby. After returning to her apartment she collapsed... Read more »

Mark Wahlberg: Grand Illusions of September 11th or Hyping A New Movie?

Mark Wahlberg: Grand Illusions of September 11th or Hyping A New Movie?
If I have said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times already – Hollywood Celebrities should just stick to acting and shut up when it comes to the real life issues unless they can contribute something positive or relevant to the dialogue. Actors and actresses seem to think that their role-playing abilities qualify them... Read more »

Mr. President - Who's Paying For Air Force One, Two and Marine One Today?

Mr. President - Who's Paying For Air Force One, Two and Marine One Today?
Ah how nice – President Barack Obama has come home, albeit for a very short trip and the news media is abuzz. However, as Air Force One was taxing down the runway it didn’t dawn on any of our evening newscasters to ask the obvious question regarding his travel arrangements. I mean, this is after...

Koschman Homicide: Cook County State's Attorney Alvarez Should Resign As Judge Schedules Special Prosecutor Hearing

Koschman Homicide: Cook County State's Attorney Alvarez Should Resign As Judge Schedules Special Prosecutor Hearing
After writing numerous posts regarding the David Koschman homicide at the hands of former Mayor Richard M. Daley’s nephew, Richard “RJ” Vanecko, I have concluded that Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez should resign. Naturally this is purely my opinion, but, given  everything I have read and written one can can only conclude that the... Read more »
