Joliet Township Supervisor Dan Vera Sparks Controversy and Raises a Few Questions

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. And from all... Read more »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »
