President The Donald Trump: Imagine This Freak Show for Just a Minute

Imagine for a moment that the Year is 2013.  As American luck would have it the Mayans line of crap regarding the certain end to our world come December 2012 was a complete load of bullshit.  Amazingly enough, a complete end of the world as we know it via earthly doom would be better than what we face on...

Mayor Emanuel: Why Not Just Crown Him Today?

        Did anyone seriously think Rahmbo headed back to Chicago with any intention other than becoming the next mayor of this city?  Anyone?  Forget about the formality of one election in February…who among us can possibly stand the crazy idea of a run-off election in April?  Not me.

Mayoral Bully Bashers: Three Men and a Little Lady

Hey, Governor Quinn: I need a J-O-B...and you clearly need a speech writer...
  Oh, Governor, Governor, Governor…it’s your first “official” day on the job that the “peeeeple” of Illinois elected you to (this time) but, may I be so bold as to make a suggestion?  You need help, buddy…big time.

Blagojevich Trial Day One: Let the Freakshow Begin...

  I woke this morning with all the excitement of a child on Christmas morning.  June 3, 2010 is the day I’ve been anticipating forever–okay, not forever–but I’ve been waiting since the breaking news broke on the morning of December 9, 2008… and a couple hours later when the coiffed one made his appearance in...
