Casinos Will Not Tarnish Illinois' Reputation...It Has Been In The Crapper For Years
Governor Quinn has put his “more-than-likely-purchased-at-Payless-Shoe-Store” wing tip down. Yesterday he took to the podium with a four-hundred-page bill (no doubt splattered with grease from whatever free lunch he scored the day before) and a message. The Casino Bill as it stands is not getting his signature. And, of course, ten more minutes of the... Read more »
Hey Stand Up! Chicago Protestors ~ Sit Your Asses Down
Has this picture made it to your Facebook wall in recent days; or perhaps your e-mail inbox? Who knows if an actual College Senior wrote it. Look closely, do those look like the hands of a twenty-something? My point is not to dispute who authored the sign in the picture nor analyze the handwriting. I... Read more »
Chicago Bears Offer Refunds for Everything But The Disappointment
How many members of Bears’ upper management does it take to determine a field unplayable? Apparently about twenty. And, of course, one Lovie “that’s a gooood question” Smith. He assessed the damage Friday afternoon while sporting a backpack (what the hell does he carry in that thing??) and a clueless look on his face (sadly, even more oblivious than... Read more »

HEY CPS: Any Room Left In The Dumpster For The Bad Apples?
Too bad it was a blockbuster weekend in the newsroom. Consider the tragic news trickling out of Norway, the “shocking” (perhaps to you) reports from Casa Winehouse in London, and, really, who among us did not hang on every word of the juicy gossip leaking out of the Cutler/KCav Camp? Hey, were you aware there... Read more »
Why Rich Successful Women Get Burned By Men Who Cheat
I’m sick of hearing all the boo-hoo-ing about poor Maria Shriver…like she didn’t see this coming? Time to get the Rx updated on the goggles. How could she not see what was right in front of her face? Seriously, girlfriend…a. you’re a Kennedy…and b. he’s got a rich history with a fondness of groping…and c.... Read more »
Keeping it Real: Bin Laden Inspired Reality Shows
Not sure about you, but I am becoming very overwhelmed with the 411 coming out of Pakistan ten days after Navy Seals got the deal done. Entertaining the news that a former sex slave of his is spilling her guts regarding Waldo’s admiration of Whitney Houston, I took a breath and decided to take it for what it... Read more »

The Night Osama Died: New Music Video
Thanks to Roe and Roeper, I got the link to this song I heard on their show today on WLS 890. I admit it–I’m old and I listen to Talk Radio. But they make the current events taking place in our city and around the world interesting. I would not think of getting my news... Read more »
Good Bye Mayor Daley
Have you seen the new Walter Smithe Commercial paying tribute to Chicago’s beloved mayor? The Smithe brothers have always had a way with putting together edgy commercials with an uncanny nod to current events. Their latest twist of reality selling bedroom sets certainly does not disappoint. They have put together a montage of Chicago Celebrities... Read more »
Can We Figure Out A bin Laden Story and Stick to It?
Mr. President, I have a problem…and I know you are pretty busy, but it is a big one. After letting the news of the week digest a bit I find I have plenty of questions. Do you mind? Okay, first and foremost. What gives? I am the first to admit I have spent the... Read more »

Osama bin Laden Dead: Residents of Hell Frightened
Where were you when that Scumbag met his fate? Certainly the memory for you, like me, is permanently filed in your brain right behind your assured recollection of your exact location when those fuel filled jets piloted by complete lunatics smashed through the Twin Towers on that sunny September morning almost ten years ago. History... Read more »
