Facebook De-Friending Day: Likely Reasons You Were Eliminated

Facebook De-Friending Day: Likely Reasons You Were Eliminated
November 17 has come and gone. Apparently yesterday was National “De-Friending” Day on Facebook. If you find yourself a bit lighter in the “friends” column today, sorry Charlie, you have only the reflection in the mirror to blame. Hate to be the one to break it to you, pal.  You’re (or do you say your) a clown.  It had... Read more »

Who Would Have Thunk It? It's Thoughts and Theories Thursday

Random thoughts and theories after reading today’s internet trenders…seriously if it weren’t for Hollywood and assorted news blurbs out of political camps I wouldn’t feel nearly as good as I do about myself. So I thank them for that.  From the bottom of my cold, sarcastic heart.   Herman Cain Herman Cain dabbled in sexual... Read more »

Putting The Kebash On The Krazy Kardashian Krap

Putting The Kebash On The Krazy Kardashian Krap
Did the latest news (broken by Ryan Seacrest, no less) completely rock your world? Do you, much like me, have many burning questions? Like what does the split mean for future Keeping Up With The Kardashian episodes?    OMG…will Kim and Kourtney still take on New York? How weird is it that the new season (featuring Kim...

Casinos Will Not Tarnish Illinois' Reputation...It Has Been In The Crapper For Years

The City of Big Shoulders also offers athletes with danglers the size of coconuts...and even bigger egos. Nothing yells "Illinois-brings-over-paid-screaming-brats-to-the-arrogance-table" more than a temper tantrum thrown courtesy of Big Z.
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

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 »

Cancer Cannot Be Cured ~ It Would Kill Our Economy

Cancer Cannot Be Cured ~ It Would Kill Our Economy
I haven’t blogged in a long time. I spent the better part of September cheating on my blog.  I was reading a blog.  Not my blog.  Another blog.  Mary Tyler Mom’s Blog. I have never met Mary Tyler Mom in person, instead I was introduced to her via her work on ChicagoNow last Spring.  She was a... Read more »

CPS Teachers Are Overpaid Babysitters

CPS Teachers Are Overpaid Babysitters
  I admit I was torn on the recent debate regarding the CPS teachers taking on an extra ninety minutes to make Chicago students more competitive with other learners across the country, not to mention the rest of the world. In my “pro column” I admire and respect (two words I never thought I’d utter... Read more »

Go The F*ck To School!!

Go The F*ck To School!!
Today marks the first day of school for most CPS students…and what a list of incentives the little learners have to ensure their asses are firmly planted in a desk at opening bell. The hullabaloo surrounding a Chicago Mayor ringing the bell this year as well as any previous school year continues to amaze me.  The... Read more »

ABC Locks In The DWTS Tranny Vote

ABC Locks In The DWTS Tranny Vote
So looky-loo…Chaz Bono is headed to the dance floor with his–er–her–er his sights set on the Mirror Ball Trophy. Viewers are crying foul and posing many burning questions:  What is ABC thinking?  How can they showcase “THAT” on a family program? Who will Chaz dance with…a man or a woman?  Can that “lard ass” even dance?  And, most...

***Disclaimer…  No actual individuals with special needs were intended to be harmed by this headline or post … back when life was simple and long before the politically correct police took over, kids in every neighborhood from the Atlantic to the Pacific referred to people acting like complete asshats as “ree-tards”…or scolded their asshatish behavior by...
