Detective Commander Burge (CPD ret.): Friends, I'm going to to tell you of the great mysterious wonderful continent known as Africa. Africa, God's country. And he can have it...Well, sir, we left New York drunk and early on the morning of February second. After fifteen days on the water and six on the boat we finally arrived on the shores of Africa.
We at once proceded 300 miles into the heart of the jungle where I shot a polar bear. This bear was 6 foot 7 in his stocking feet and had shoes on. This bear was anemic and couldn't stand the cold climate. He was a rich bear and could afford to go away in the winter. From the day of our arrival we led an active life. The first morning saw us up at six, breakfasted, then back in bed at seven. This was our routine for the first three months. We finally got so we were back in bed at six-thirty.
One morning I was sitting in front of the cabin smoking some meat There wasn't a cigar store in the neighborhood. As I say, I was sitting in front of the cabin when I bagged six tigers. I bagged them, I bagged them to go away, but they hung around all afternoon. They were the most persistant tigers I've ever seen. The principal animals inhabiting the African jungle are moose, elk and Knights of Pythias.
Of course you all know what a moose is, that's big game. The first day I shot two bucks that was the biggest game we had. As I say you all know what a moose is? A moose runs around on the floor, and eats cheese and is chased by the cats. The elks on the other hand live up in the hills, and in the spring they come down for their annual convention. It is very interesting to watch them come down to the water-hole; and you should see them run when they find it is only water-hole. What they're looking for is a elk-a-hole. One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know. But that is entirely irrevent to what I was talking about. We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed.But we're going back again in a couple of weeks...

CPD Detective Verbal Kint Gives Up Jon Burge! 'Attitude, Dude!' Just the Way G. Flint Taylor Scripted it!


Verbal Kint: He's supposed to be Irish. Some say his father was German. Nobody ever believed he was real. Nobody ever knew him or saw anybody that ever worked directly for him. But to hear tell it, anybody could have worked for Burge. You never knew; that was his power. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
One story the guys told me, the story I believe, was from his days in Turkey-bird land (Ireland, I guess.). There was a gang of black persons that wanted their own mob. They realized that to be in power, you didn't need guns or money or even numbers. You just needed the will to do what the other guy wouldn't. After a while, they come into power and then they come after Burge. He was small-time then, just running dope, they say.
(We see all of this in flashback)
They ( the black persons) come to his home in the afternoon, looking for his business. They find his wife and kids in the house and decide to wait for Soze, er Burge. He comes home to find his wife raped and children screaming. The Black Persons knew Burge was tough, not to be trifled with, so they let him know they meant business.
(Flashback: Black Person cuts one of the children's throats)
They tell him they want his territory, all his business. Burge looks over the faces of his family. Then he showed these men of will what will really was.
(Burge shoots two Black persons, then shoots his children and his wife as the last black person watches in surprised horror)
He tells him he would rather see his family dead than live another day after this. He lets the last Black Person go, waits until his wife and kids are in the ground, and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids. He kills their wives. He kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in, the stores they work in. He kills people that owe them money. And like that, he's gone. Underground. Attitude. It is All Attitude! Nobody's ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your Cop and Jon Burge will get you." But no one ever really believes.
(We see a shadow-encased figure of John Burge walking towards the camera in front of a huge tower of flame as Det. Verbal speaks about the process of revenge.)
G. Flint Taylor: Do you believe in him, Verbal?
Verbal Kint: Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him."
Well, I believe in God -- and the only thing that scares me is John Burge.
Attitude,Dude.

The Reds Killed Poles in Katyn Forest and Americans Need to Remember

Well done Mike Thomas! Mike Thomas is a reporter for the Sun Times.
Thomas reports today about the massacre of four thousand Polish Army Officers in 1940 that too often goes undiscussed by Americans.
Soviet Tyrant Joe Stalin ordered the massacre when the Communists betrayed their neighbor Poland and invaded in conjunction with Adolph Hitler.
American Leftists like to pretend that their co-religionists were the good-guy. Not so.
In April of 1940, on orders from Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, more than 4,000 Polish army officers were killed by the Soviet secret police and buried in a Katyn Forest mass grave. Their slaughter became known as the Katyn Forest Massacre.
That same month, thousands of other Poles -- officers and civilians -- were exterminated in surrounding areas. The death toll reached nearly 22,000.
Russians are good people. Communists are monsters.
Let's not forget our history, Kids.
Hitler is the poster boy for change and murder.
Joe Stalin and the Reds take a back-seat to no one.
Militarists in Japan slaughtered everyone within bayonet reach in China, Indochina, Thailand, Malaysia, the Phillipines, Guam and throughout the Pacific.
This is a small world after all and there are louses who will murder to advance their ideologies.

Billy Don Moyers Goes Goo-Goo for Dithering Dick Durbin!!!! And He thought Pastor Wright Was Dreamy

SEIU Illinois Comic Book Progress Illinois handed me this chuckle in the AM "On his great PBS program this past weekend, Bill Moyers sat down with Sen. Dick Durbin to discuss his ongoing battle with the banking industry and his efforts to create a public financing system for congressional campaigns" That's Billy Don Moyers with an 'S' Kiddies!
Bill Moyers has an on-going 'battle with the banking industry?' We all know Dithering Dick Durbin has absolutely no problem -whatsoever -with the Banking Industry that he helped purchase with my unborn grand kids' pensions.
Billy Don Moyers is a PBS hack. LBJ came to detest Moyers for his lack of 'intestinal fortitude' and rat nature when he jumped ship on Johnson back when Vietnam was no longer a part of the Great Society. Morons are captivated by Bill Moyers' folksy weasel-boy charms. Billy Don Moyers was such a weasel that LBJ had Moyer build the Vietnam war and sell it to the American Voter and the kids going to war.
Dithering Dick Durbin is a Solid Illinois Home-grown Hack Wholly-owned by Planned Parenthood, SEIU and ACORN for years!

The Obama Glorious Revolution


"The powers that the Obama administration claimed in order to arrest the financial crisis and mitigate the recession are being used and abused in ways that are undermining the legal and financial stability of the United States. Investors: You are warned." [2009]
Barack of Orange?
http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fullcomment/archive/2009/05/10/david-fum-quick-fix-today-crisis-tomorrow-in-obama-s-white-house.aspx
THE passions which had agitated the Parliament during the late session continued to ferment in the minds of men during the recess, and, having no longer a vent in the senate, broke forth in every part of the empire, destroyed the peace of towns, brought into peril the honour and the lives of innocent men, and impelled magistrates to leave the bench of justice and attack one another sword in hand. Private calamities, private brawls, which had nothing to do with the disputes between court and country, were turned by the political animosities of that unhappy summer into grave political events.
http://yarchive.net/macaulay/history/chapter_XXV.html#General_Election
The 100 Days indicate a political revolution by the Obama Administration ( William & Mary) unseen since the 1688 defeat of the last Stuarts (Bush 1 & 2). That 17th Century Glorious Revolution was purely ideological and one that harbored only a concern that no Catholic sit upon the throne of England -ever. It led to a the arrival of the House of Hanover from Germany - the family that currently sits upon England's Throne and the very blood that moved American Patriots to Revolution.
This Obama Revolution of 2009 is purely an ideological revolution and one that harbors the concern that no Capitalist serves as the Chief Executive of the United States. Political Action Committees control government through their baptized candidates who will collectivize all government, all labor and social institutions.
The parallels seem to be set in The History Of England From the Accession of James II. By Thomas Babington Macaulay.
The Stuarts v. The Revolutionaries
Our cast looks like this:
Charles I - George Herbert Walker Bush
Oliver Cromwell - William Jefferson Clinton
James II - George W. Bush
William of Orange - Barack H. Obama

Andy Stern's Payout of SEIU Dues for Political Clout
We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama — $60.7 million to be exact — and we're proud of it.Andy Stern SEIU
John Rubery, Illinois' own Marathon Pundit has been monitoring Andy Stern's moving and shaking of dues taken from SEIU members.
Remember SEIU's dues do not go to benefit the membership but to seed Amdy's harvest of more members through political blackmail and intimidation of gutless politicians.
Members of SEIU remain low-skill and no skill workers*.
Unlike the Trades Unions -Real Labor - there is no intention on the part of SEIU to move workers into the American Middle Class. Andy Stern's efforts will eliminate the American Middle Class.
The target of SEIU, it seems to me , is take over of Trades Unions Apprenticeship Control, through the elimination of Bureau of Apprenticeship Programs(BAP), like here in Illinois which determines membership qualifications, examinations and schools, in each State.
Andy wants each State to adopt a State Apprenticeship Council (SAC) which will eliminate drug testing, residency requirements, and standards for skills, as well as control over all Apprenticeship Programs.
The Race Card is the Trump Card. Emil Jones attempted such a move, while President Obama was in the Illinois Senate - it failed. Andy Stern pumped millions into SEIU's effort ensure an Obama Presidency - beholden to Planned Parenthood,ACORN, ACLU and SEIU.
If you are a Union Woman or Man, get over to Marathon Pundit. Get wise to SEIU - the Media is in Andy's vest pocket.
*SEIU is a leftist troika that poses as a labor union. SEIU is run by a Leftist Social Worker whose 1960's radicalism found a profitable and powerful home in a labor union that expands membership numbers, intimidates gutless politicians, and operates the most massive redistribution of wealth scam in America. 1-2-3- that's how you dance to a troika -1. Expand 2.Intimidate 3. Redistribute Wealth!
Taking over the weak and corrupt janitors union in Chicago in the 1970's, Andy Stern and fellow University of Pennsylvania School Social Work colleague Anna Burger help radicalize and consolidate locals of building janitors, bringing thousands of unskilled to low skilled health care industry workers, security guard locals, menial office task workers and others into a political intimidation political action force.
Using a very complicit and lazy news media, Andy Stern deftly crafted a cult of personality unparalleled since Mao. The Purple Gang of hundreds of thousands of low-skill to no skill workers intimidated their way into public service employees and nearly match AFCME in tax-payer salaried workers. If you are somewhat taken aback by my analysis of the threat that I see from SEIU, please do take a look at Andy Stern's frequent trips to Red China and read Newsweeks's glwoing accounts of Stern's agenda to help one of the most oppresive regimes on the planet 'control their workers.' Take a look at Andy Stern's similar control that he exercises over local SEIU 'thought criminals.' Andy gets great PR from the press and the other mediums, but occasionally the real story gets out.
Like this one:
Sal Rosselli had been hardened by nearly three decades of front-line unionism. Time and again he staged insurgent organizing drives and do-or-die strikes, staring down major corporations. Now he blinked away tears as he huddled with supporters in his Oakland headquarters, a sooty-windowed, bunker-like building strewn with leaflets and picket signs, a place suddenly under siege.
Rosselli was describing his latest battle, his toughest ever: a face-off against a comrade in struggle, Andrew Stern, whom many view as the most powerful labor leader in America.
The two are locked in a nasty, often personal fight over how to make the nation's fastest-growing union -- 1.9 million members -- even bigger. Stern, its president, has sought more common ground with employers as a means to unionize entire industries. Rosselli believes building membership first requires getting the best deal for workers already under labor's tent.
"If you stick your head up, if you question what he's doing, you'll get whacked," said Rosselli, 58, head of the second-largest California chapter of Stern's union.
Wiping his eyes, he insisted that Stern, through a trusteeship, is determined to oust him from his elected post as part of a long push to centralize authority.
Stern and his allies in the Service Employees International Union dismiss the allegations and downplay the significance of the rift.
"It's not open warfare, it's a debate," said Pennsylvania union official Thomas De Bruin.
"It's David and Goliath," Rosselli said.
http://theunionnews.blogspot.com/2008/06/seiu-andy-stern-is-issue.html
SEIU was solidly behind John Edwards. Edwards tanked. SEIU is solidly behind Obama.
Anna Burger sits on Obama's Economic Advisory Board. A radical Marxist is telling Obam how to shape America's economic path.
Obama like Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick from whom Obama crafts many of his rhetorical hits in the media, depends upon Andy and SEIU.
Andy Stern is making sure that Race is the pivot point of Obama's Campaign.
Leaders of the AFL-CIO met this week in Chicago to decide how to deploy some 250,000 volunteers and more than $250 million for its grass-roots campaign on behalf of Obama and 500 Democratic candidates vying for other posts.
The fast-growing Service Employees International Union, which has successfully organized lower-wage workers, has $85 million to spend. The AFL-CIO said it has set aside its rivalry with the SEIU and other unions that left to form their own labor federation in 2005.
CONFRONT RACISM
Unions pride themselves on their racial diversity and plan to confront members about any biases they have.
"You go straight at our people and talk about the difference between McCain and Obama and the fact that race could be an issue -- you go straight at it," said Gerald McEntee, head of the AFL-CIO's political committee.
"Once people get in the booth, if they won't vote for a black man ...," he said with a shrug. Continued...
If you do not vote for Obama, You are a racist. Stalinist and simple. That's Andy Stern and all who do his bidding.
American Labor was built upon the principles of the right to work, the right to organize, the right to engage in collective bargaining and the right to strike for wages and benefits. American Labor made the American Standard of Living and the Middle Class. Unions taught the unskilled skills - moved the poor into the middle class. SEIU uses the poor and the unskilled to eliminate the American Middle Class.
The more unskilled and impoverished Americans, the more powerful Andy Stern's SEIU becomes.
Andy Stern's SEIU is for redistribution of wealth, global identification over American values, salaries mandated by legislation and the elimination of the American Middle Class.
Obama swims in Andy Stern's Tank.

Maloclussion Means Exclusion in Chris Kennedy Bid for Illinois Senate Seat



Rhambo says 'Chris Kennedy a Go for Illinois Voters!!!' Really. What did he run for again? Oh, that's right -Nuttin'!
Scads of Cash-Dough. Dude ain't Tapioca! ( see Mike Houlihan's great Comic Film!).
Chris Kennedy runs the Merchandise Mart -that magnificent massive reminder that Joe Kennedy could put the fix in here in Chicago.
The guy is the son of Robert F. Kennedy who is most often linked to President Obama in spirit, but not in reality.
Robert F. Kennedy was and would be staunchly against a woman's right to to kill her child.
Rahm Emmanuel says Kennedy is the Guy and that means that Dave Axelrod will shuffle the race cards and get to dealing them out for Kennedy in bid for the U.S. Senate.
The trouble is that Illinois voters tend to take the dental appearances of their candidates very seriously.
Harold Washington had a great set of Buckers. Obama's Immaculate! Pat Quinn wonderful! Rich Daley -Yeomanlike. Mike Madigan- Ditto!
Now, Chris Kennedy is a Kennedy and all that, but his Choppers could bite a pig's ass through a picket fence*.
Take a look up thar! Lisa Madigan - Mike took wonderful care that little girl's Corn-grabbers.
Tom Dart - now there is a set of Ivories that any Senator would be proud to gnaw on the wallets of tax payers!
Rahm. Get the man to a top Molar Mechanic.
*Deep Overbite (also referred to as Deep Bite), a specific type of malocclusion. In the technical sense within dentistry, however, overbite describes or measures the extent of vertical overlap between the upper and lower teeth, especially the incisors, in occlusion.

Drew-ing Dead! All In and Nothing

Drew Peterson seems to be the face of the age of the World Series of Poker. He has been to the big table (World-wide attention); face-off with the Rounders ( Larry King, Geraldo & etc.). He strutted and studded his way around tormenting the families of his victims. The Morons in the Media gave Drew what he demanded.
Now Drew is drawing dead. Didn't care to muck the cards. The Bluff is called. Pay up.
Let's see. Can anyone remember who won the World Series of Poker in 2007? I can't. Nor, do I care to do so. It will be the same with this goof.
The exception being the many, many people to whom this self-absorb louse brought anguish and sorrow.
Illinois State Police Capt. Carl Dobrich said investigators tracked more than 1,100 leads in Savio's death and the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, amassing some 500 gigabytes of digital information.
"Our journey has been far and wide; it has been exhausting," Dobrich said at a Thursday night news conference.
Thursday's arrest was coordinated by state police to take place when Peterson was away from home, where his four children were staying. But it also occurred shortly before an 18-month term expired for the special grand jury investigating Savio's death and Stacy Peterson's disappearance.
Glasgow denied the grand jury's time limit had anything to do with the timing of the arrest or the quality of the evidence against Peterson.
"We moved when we felt the time was appropriate, and we're very confident in our case," Glasgow said.
A major concern in the case was the issue of violence against women, an undercurrent that had driven national interest that only grew stronger as Peterson's antics grew more bizarre.
"Clearly we've had a serious situation with violence against women ... and we want to send a strong message that that is a grave and serious matter. It's not a laughing matter as has been made with this case."
Glasgow said he will prosecute the case himself.
Police arrested Peterson at 5:35 p.m. in a traffic stop at Lily Cache Lane and Weber Road in Bolingbrook.

Senate Democrats Fear Arlen Specter To be Mole Man! Go with the Feeling Lads!

"His actions over this past week have done nothing to curry favors with either party," said Penny Lee, a former senior adviser to Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) and now a Democratic consultant. "He needs to show some willingness to be a Democrat."
Another Democratic strategist who follows Senate races closely was more blunt about the damage Specter has done to himself over the last week. "Do you think that any right-minded local Democratic elected official is going to stick his neck out for Arlen?" the source asked rhetorically. "Or any member of the Democratic Senate caucus?"

The People Who Get into Public Service - John Daley Showed the Way and So Did Forrest Claypool!

Conclusion: We can all whine about Stroger and the board and taxes until our skin is wrinkled and we're ready for diapers and the old folks home.
If you don't like the direction of your government, run for office and change it. K. McQueary
Kristen McQueary in today's (click my post title) Southtown Star gives a blunt summary to all the beefing about our political Straw-Persons in public life, be it Blago, Burris, or Todd Stoger.
Doing something for other people, whether you are a nurse, cop, firefighter, teacher, priest, rabbi, soldier, or government official puts a target on your back. Hell, you get the same troubles in the private sector, but public service folks get the infamy of Media second-guessers and stooges with barrels of ink.
There truly is no good deed that goes unpunished. However, the only option is to turn-up the music, drink more, sedate yourself, golf, play X-Box and expect a paycheck.
In public life the majority works hard. In public life cheats, bullies, clowns, thieves, sexual predators, and morons blend in because they too are the public.
Policy often dictates that we suffer the useless gladly even when they are stealing, preying on people, screwing up the works, or just collecting a paycheck. They are the reason for Political Action Committees. The stronger the policy the more cover for the dopes.
Getting the job done requires more work these days because of false tickling Policy.
He/She/It are a mandated quota numbers; cousins need work too; the odd clouted prince or princess; and the all too human 'What are going to do? Sure they can not read a spreadsheet or a blueprint or draft a lesson plan but they are dues paying members. We must follow policy and policy requires seven written notices and severance package.'
To stick your neck out and seek the vote to genuinely make things happen takes a special click in the heart.
John Daley sparked this challenge by confronting Todd Stroger! The members of the County Board ( politically ambitious and also drifters) challenged poor Todd to do something. That is the glory of our Republic. People elected by us are doing exactly what we bid them to do.
I can criticize Forrest Claypool but I must admire his courage to take his fight into the public arena. God Bless Him!
Kris McQueary gave us a nice sound byte. Teddy Roosevelt draws blood:
Shame on the man of cultivated taste who permits refinement to develop into fastidiousness that unfits him for doing the rough work of a workaday world. Among the free peoples who govern themselves there is but a small field of usefulness open for the men of cloistered life who shrink from contact with their fellows. Still less room is there for those who deride of slight what is done by those who actually bear the brunt of the day; nor yet for those others who always profess that they would like to take action, if only the conditions of life were not exactly what they actually are. The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be a cynic, or fop, or voluptuary. There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of great and generous emotion, of the high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of the men who quell the storm and ride the thunder. Well for these men if they succeed; well also, though not so well, if they fail, given only that they have nobly ventured, and have put forth all their heart and strength. It is war-worn Hotspur, spent with hard fighting, he of the many errors and valiant end, over whose memory we love to linger, not over the memory of the young lord who "but for the vile guns would have been a valiant soldier."

John Daley Tries to Talk Sense to Todd Stroger -Good Luck With That

I always liked John Daley. I still do. John Daley is a gentleman. John Daley is loyal. John Daley is a very, very, very smart man.
Yesterday, he tried to talk sense to County Board President Todd Stroger who is the best friend Forrest Claypool has in the world, now that Quigley is in D.C. and out of his way.
Claypool has friends in WTTW,NPR and the Chicago Media.
That is about it. Forrest Claypool is friends with folks who can appoint him to a government spot, or manage to get others to build votes for him.
He pretty much shot his wad. Now, with all Progressive forces dancing the Dionysian jig no one is paying Forrest much attention. Vallas is coming back. Peraica won a Pyrrhic victory in the Repeal. That is as good as it will get Tony.
John Daley tried to talk sense to Todd -do not challenge the vote and give Forrest his wiggle room - 'We can not all be Elizabeth Brackett for Crissakes.'
Welp, Todd don't hear so good. Forrest will gump it up on Public TV and Airwaves. The tin-foil hat crowd will get all knit cap and soul-patch hot for Forrest.
He will lose, mind you, but we will have Claypool white-noise for the next few months.
Thanks Todd.
You tried John Daley. My God how you tried.
John Daley sparred with Stroger during a debate that turned angry at times, telling the president he "might want to listen for a change." Daley said a Stroger veto "would be a mistake, because of the strong vote of the board."
The Daley family backed Stroger in his 2006 run for the spot once held by his father, John, but Daley on Tuesday said Stroger has "been wounded" and might not get his support for his anticipated re-election effort.
In changing his stance, Daley cited the lousy economy and said the county had "to make adjustments." At least one commissioner, however, clearly acknowledged a desire to distance himself from a tax vote that was widely panned by civic groups, editorial pages and suburban leaders. "We've been getting beaten up, and I'm tired of it," said Commissioner Joseph Mario Moreno (D-Chicago), who voted for the tax hike but supported the effort to repeal.
