Memorial Day: Honor Those Who Gave All

Memorial Day: Honor Those Who Gave All
Please Fly Your Flag! As we celebrate Memorial Day 2012 we should never forget that Freedom comes with a cost. It is my belief that each and every one of us are indebted to the men and women who proudly serve this nation. In the end, each and every American Soldier will give some –... Read more »

NATO Summit: The Power Will Be In The Street

NATO Summit: The Power Will Be In The Street
The NATO Chicago Summit is about to begin and with it there is a sense that protestors will be coming out in force to show their dismay for the continued proliferation of America and her allies dictating their will upon the world. Things, it seems, haven’t changed much from the turbulent 1960′s when it comes... Read more »

Joliet Township Supervisor Dan Vera Sparks Controversy and Raises a Few Questions
When Joliet Township Supervisor Dan Vera ordered the firing of an experienced animal control officer over his desire to adopt a Chihuahua by the name of Chew, well, let’s just say there has been enough of an uproar in the community that it may just chew him up politically down the line.

An Obama Cheer Me Up

This is circulating on the web these days and has hit my inbox with some regularity. Since our late night comedians often inject truth into their monologues you might want to consider what they are saying*. (*See disclaimer at bottom). At the worst, it might make you think – at its best it might make... Read more »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »
