Political Robocalls Annoying But Did Help Me Decide - To Skip Illinois Primary

Political Robocalls Annoying But Did Help Me Decide - To Skip Illinois Primary
I don’t know about you, but robocalls annoy me and that is why registered with the Do Not Call Registry. Unfortunately, the brains behind the Act excluded political robocalls. And now that Illinois is in play for the GOP, well, let’s just say the number of calls per day have left me even more annoyed... Read more »

Illinois Primary Matters To GOP Candidates - Not Sure If Candidates Do. But Hey, Illinois Needs Change Bad!

Illinois Primary Matters To GOP Candidates - Not Sure If Candidates Do. But Hey, Illinois Needs Change Bad!
Stuck between a rock and a hard place is about the only way I can describe my plans for the upcoming Illinois Primary. There is no doubt in my mind that President Barack has failed in his first term, although that hasn’t exactly been all his fault either. Republicans are just as much to blame... Read more »

Instead of Durbin's Bringing Fugitives To Justice Act - How About We End Sanctuary?

Instead of Durbin's Bringing Fugitives To Justice Act - How About We End Sanctuary?
Illinois Senator Richard Durbin would like to strengthen the Justice Department’s ability to apprehend border-crossing fugitives and has proposed the enactment of an “Bringing Fugitives To Justice Act.” In addition to this “immediate” initiative, Durbin has also talked with Mexico’s Ambassador about revisiting our 30 year-old extradition treaty which omits serious crimes. Okay, I get... Read more »

2012 Super Tuesday: Much Ado Over Nothing

2012 Super Tuesday: Much Ado Over Nothing
Generally Super Tuesday marks an awakening to the many who, up until now, have not paid as much attention to the National Political scene as perhaps they should have. Yet I get sense that this year will be much different. Let’s face it, President Obama is just biding his time, while collecting obscene campaign contributions... Read more »

Rahm Emanuel's Handgun Bill: More Money Grubbing or A Nazi Tactic?

Rahm Emanuel's Handgun Bill: More Money Grubbing or A Nazi Tactic?
I would hate to think that the Jewish Mayor of Chicago would stoop so low as to using Nazi tactics in order to stifle law-abiding citizens of Illinois from invoking their Constitutional Right to Bear Arms. But, the fact remains – he has been able to ram his gun bill proposal through Springfield with such... Read more »

Minister Supporting Jackson Jr. Alleges "Demonic Forces"

Minister Supporting Jackson Jr. Alleges "Demonic Forces"
Hmm – it appears Jesse Jackson Jr. not only has some 50 ministers supporting his reelection but one of them also believes that the opposition’s campaign is driven by “demonic forces.” I just wonder if that minister also believes that an exorcism is needed? And if so, at which campaign? Seems to me that Jesse... Read more »

Chicago Tribune WGN-TV Poll: Governor Quinn More Unpopular. No Kidding?

Chicago Tribune WGN-TV Poll: Governor Quinn More Unpopular. No Kidding?
The Chicago Tribune and WGN-TV conducted a poll of 600 registered voters and apparently 54% of those surveyed disapproved of Governor Pat Quinn’s job performance. Okay – but I think we already knew that and why only poll 600 people? I would venture to say that had this poll been expanded to include a larger... 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 »

Michael Madigan"One Of Many" Who Just Happens To, Duh, Control The Many

Michael Madigan"One Of Many" Who Just Happens To, Duh, Control The Many
Michael Madigan and his “Madigoons” aren’t exactly something imaginary folks – they really do exist here in Madghanistan a.k.a. Illinois. But I have to tell you, I found it really amusing when a reporter yesterday asked Michael Madigan about his own role in the failings of the state and he answered that he was merely... Read more »
