Now THIS is a Gracious Concession Speech

Here in Illinois we get Jan Schakwoski, Mike Quigley, Marque Kirque and other assorted fatuous filberts. In Alabama, you get Dale Peterson!

Dale Peterson is back -- with a vengeance.

The straight-talking, rifle-toting candidate for Alabama Agriculture Commissioner, who came up short in his bid but whose, um, offbeat web ad garnered more than 1.7 million hits on You Tube, has released a sequel (and the crowd goes wild) endorsing one of his former rivals in the race.

"I'm endorsing John McMillan because he gives a rip about Alabama," Peterson says in the new ad, in which he also fires a shotgun rifle at a man trying to steal one of McMillan's campaign signs. (Not kidding.)

McMillan, a former state representative, finished first in the June 1 Republican primary with 36.5 percent while farmer Dorman Grace took second with 35.2 percent. Peterson placed third (out of three) with 28 percent.

Much as he did in his first web video, Peterson takes after Grace again -- referring to him as "that dummy with all his illegal campaign contributions" and urging voters to "send him back to his chicken farm."

The runoff is July 13.

Small Person Bart Stupak - Congress's Little King Hypocrite

One of the stand-out hypocrites of this politcial year is Michigan ( UP) Representative Bart Stupak.

This oily little gent played abortion - the death of babies -to parlay his honor for something coming down the pike, I believe. Bart Stupak announced that we does not care to be trounced. Once out of office, watch Bart get a Federal Gig.

Today with every balloon head and phony in Congress lining up to take a pimp slap at BP's Tony Heyword - MSNBC even had resigned Commie Czar Van Jones doing-the-play-by-play with nepotism's Wee Russert -appointed when Dad Tim cashed in this summer.

The King of the Small People is Bart Stupak -

"We are not small people, but we wish to get our lives back," Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich.
Like the aborted babies, Bart pretended to care so much about that he was compelled to vote for Planned Parenthood Approved ObamaCare.

I'll Gas- Up at BP - I Have Friends Who Work at Whiting, Indiana's BP Refinery

Whiting, Indiana is a British Petroleum ( BP)Town and one of the gems of the Lake Michigan area. The town is lock-stock and barrels of oil a BP town - before that Amoco and before that Standard Oil.

I lived in Griffith, Indiana from 1994 until 1998. My neighbors worked at Inland Steel, LTV Steel and Amoco. My son Conor's buddy Frankie Alvarez's Dad was an Amoco Firefighter - yes, they had their own fire department. Amoco had a Piper Cub plane that used to buzz the pipelines along Chicago Avenue in East Chicago with a gas leak detector. Pechous, Danyanovich, Colley, and so many other families took Cline Avenue North to Whiting's Amoco works. Thousands of Indiana and Illinois people work there.

I will not boycott BP. The BP guy at 103rd & Western's station is an Arab American whose livelihood depends on customers from the neighborhood and those passing through.

Today every balloon-head and jerk in Congress will try to "kick some BP ass!" The idiot box loudmouths on CNN,ABC,MSNBC & etc. will go all street on BP. Big Ed Schultz will do his Hermann Goring schtick.

The Irish invented the boycott for a real villain - not some media fabricated one. My heart breaks for the folks in the gulf.Take a breath. You have neighbors close by who depend upon their jobs with BP.

As Day 60 of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill nears and tens of thousands of gallons of crude continue to gush from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, South Floridians are venting their outrage over the spill at the pumps.

Some drivers have been boycotting South Florida BP stations for weeks now, forcing some independent owners to distance themselves from the oil giant. One station owner in Boca even created big signs to let customers know where he stands.

Owners like Max Alvarez, who owns or supplies more than 300 gas stations throughout Florida, many of them BP, said locals are feeling the pinch of the boycott -- not BP.

"The message if not affecting the right people, the message is not affecting BP," Alvarez said. "The messages are affecting the very families who are innocent, who are also very upset and angry of what happened."
On Facebook, the BP boycott has over 640,000 people on board, though BP Oil doesn't own stations in America, it only supplies them with gasoline.

While thousands of people are boycotting BP, there are many more who are not, and price, customer loyalty and convenience are the reasons why.

"I just came in because it was the cheapest gas," said one customer.

"This time, I did think about it, but, like I said, I'm guilty, I put gas in," said another.

Alvarez points to one of his stations, where 30 people are employed. He says those are the people who would be affected by the boycott. Local vendors who supply the store with food and other items would be impacted too.

But for many people, boycotting BP is about principle, not economics, and Alvarez said he understands.

"A boycott, it's people demonstrating their anger over what happened, we can understand that," he said.

Tribune Genius Reveals "Jessie" Jackson? Daughter by That Name? Dang. Did Not Know That!

The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, Boys and Girls! Trib Ed Board packed with Disc Jockeys, Ladies Who Lunch, Real Estate Barons, and Really Earnest NPR Listeners and the noted Business Writer and Medill School of Journalism Graduate and Business/Law Ink-Slinger Ameet Sachdev wanted to smear attorney and journalist Tamara Holder. Why?

Why does the Tribune do what it does?

Anywho, I saw the web edition ( saves me some dough-ray-mee) but a pal tossed me the print copy of the article attacking Tamara Holder's coverage of the Blago Trial in Huffington Post, which I thought was about the only accurate piece in that comic page. Low and Behold! The Chicago Tribune Editorial Masters and Ameet Sachdev reveal that "Jessie Jackson" is implicated!

I know that Congressman Jesse Jackson is named for his Old Man -Rev. Jesse Jackson, but I had no idea that young Ms. Jessie was involved in the Illinois Blagojevich Fire Sales.

A guy once told me, "Hickey you spell well." I told him that I was a well speller from way back - got cuffed and whacked daily by the Sisters of Mercy for my not well spelling.

I blog fast sometimes as I need to get to Leo and do real work by 6:30 AM. Spell checker still requires a wide-awake look see.

That Tribune Editorial Board! Talk a Laugh! Next, they will tell folks that Tamara Holder looks like Ward Bond.

I love Ward Bond, but . . .

It Takes A Man to Tend Bar; It Takes A Woman to Tend Men . . .Bar is superfluous

I tended bar for years . . .

MSNBC Chris Matthews Poised to Increase Tea Party Membership!

Chris Matthews is an Irish Catholic Urban Icon - the guy you can not avoid. Matthews is the mope every Big City Irish Catholic guy meets in grammar school, pummels on the playground for ratting you out to Sister. Milky Matthews somehow survives high school, shows up in the local saloon, tavern, or neighborhood gin-mill on his breaks from Mount Holyrood College for Dweebs and loudly recalls all of the fun you guys and he had together.

He invents tales of neighborhood adventures that happened to someone else, usually performed by your older cousins, or brothers; yet, Milky wedges himself into the tale, having told it repeatedly at college to mopes who have not been snitched on by Matthews.

Years later, when you have sweated and humped and labored and found a woman far above your worth to marry and begin a family he re-appears -night, after, night, after #$%$^ing night!!!!! " Can't you make him go-away?" your bride begs. "Daddy, he is creepy and scary." the wee-ones whimper.

You are too old to take him out to St. Cajetan's Parking Lot near the school, yank down his Dad N' Lad slacks and toss them over the utility wires. Life is not that simple. We all have a Chris Matthews.

Tonight, Milky micturates in America's Wheaties!

Chris Matthews has talked to a range of conservative thinkers for the special “Rise of the New Right,” which debuts at 7 p.m. Wednesday on MSNBC.

The cable news channel says that Mathews asks: “Who are the people on the New Right? What do they want? And how do they intend to get it?”

Matthews interviewed former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, Orly Taitz of the Birther movement and Internet radio host Alex Jones.

Will you watch?

Not a nano second. He might start showing up at Keegan's Pub again. We can ignore the goof as these folks tell the gent who asked the question above in the Orlando Sentinel

Voila!

Why in the world would I watch (another) hate-filled angry diatribe centered around the President, his birth origins, his color, health care, and a gazillion other things when I know no solutions will be promised?

This is what I want. Solutions to our problems. Right or wrong, that’s what the President is giving us…not the right wing.

I watch Chris Matthews and I find his programming and line of questioning interesting.

His stance is NOT about hating Obama, rather it is lifting the veil of hypocrisy of the Left and and exposing their hate filled dogma towards those they consider OTHERS! It is very important for all of us to be aware of the hate that is around us and not be fooled.

Chris Matthews blows.

As do Gabriel and the crowd at the World Cup - Blows Big Time!

Chicagoans - Don't "Sell Your Homes at a Loss," as CTU Threatens - Send the Kids To Catholic Schools - There's Help!

Marilyn Stewart is going out and Karen Lewis is coming in and CPS is broke, busted, Tap City, or as AM 590 Radio Legend and Renaissance Man Mike Houlihan would say "Tapioca!"

Mike Klonsky the Small Schools Initiative who along with Billy Ayers distinguished CPS with God Awful Failure and more Taxes is delighted that fiery Karen Lewis* the CTU She-Bull.

Why not? Mike is set for life with Annenberg Challenge Buckareenos, I would imagine.

Public School teachers, like my neighbors, do not know if they will have a job. They know that they will have many, more kids in class and that they must compete for placement with lazy, incompetent, no-show-but-payday protected losers. Good teachers have a tough rap.

One "Save the Children" teacher warned all of us yesterday that the CPS Board's decision to honor its contract with the swelled like a tick CTU tough guzzlers was not enough! Get this threat to the powers that is -"There are parents who are saying, 'I'm done working this hard when you're saying 35 kids,' " Katten said. "People are saying they'll sell their house at a loss. They are out of here.''

Save your Mortgage down stroke to ReMax folks! Send the kids to Catholic Schools!

Catholic schools get the job done for much less money. There is never a back-to-school "we Might Not Show Up!" Threat by Catholic School teachers. Selling your home will cost much more to Chicago Homeowners than the cost of educating your child in a safe, core-values centered and small classroom - 19-1 student to teacher ration in most cases. There is help available for financial assistance to parents who submit tax-returns and fill out requests for aid from the schools and Big Shoulders.

Here's what CTU - Stewart or Lewis versions -will provide parents and tax payers until Billy Ayers loses that happening ear-ring ( I wonder if Billy also sports a lower back tattoo -nah, probably the Old Lady).

In an unusual display of solidarity, at one point both incoming Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis and outgoing President Marilyn Stewart stood together at the podium as Stewart railed against the class size increase, calling it "educational malpractice.''

"I am ashamed of the Board of Education,'' Stewart said. Lewis hugged her afterward.

Lewis urged the board to first cut expensive curriculum created by outsiders, high-stakes testing and a long line of pricey vendors and consultants. "I would implore you to reconsider,'' Lewis said. "This is a nuclear option.''

Afterward, Burley School parent Wendy Katten, who helped organize a parent rally against class size increases and the state education-funding system, predicted that North Side parents who have raised huge amounts of money for their neighborhood schools will bail out if their children wind up in packed classrooms.

"There are parents who are saying, 'I'm done working this hard when you're saying 35 kids,' " Katten said. "People are saying they'll sell their house at a loss. They are out of here.''

Daley tried to shift the political blame to Springfield, saying, "It's the state of Illinois that basically is cutting [education] funding . . .

"The Board of Education is not the enemy,'' Daley said. ". . . They don't want big classes. No one wants any big classes.''

Stay in Chicago - the greatest City on Earth for all of its faults! Send the kids to Catholic Schools. Give Sr, Mary Paul McCaughey, our Superintendent, a jingle on the phone -

* Congratulations to new Chicago Teachers Union president, Karen Lewis and the Caucus of Rank and File Educators (CORE) team for their remarkable landslide victory in yesterday's union election. CORE's victory represents much more than just a win over the United Progressive Caucus (UPC) and the six-year CTU president Marilyn Stewart. It is a sign that rank-and-file teachers are fed-up with the business-as-usual politics of traditional union leadership in the face of the current assault on public education, including school closings, teacher firings, mushrooming class size and loss of collective-bargaining rights. http://michaelklonsky.blogspot.com/

Bellwood deputy chief lacks arrest powers
BY JOHN HUSTON
STAFF WRITER
In spite of his involvement in two high profile arrests earlier this year, Bellwood's second-highest ranking police officer is not qualified to place individuals under arrest.
In fact, Deputy Chief George Murray is not even listed on the Bellwood Police Department's official roster with the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board, though he was hired two years ago.
The ILETSB is the agency which oversees all law-enforcement and correctional officers in the state, outside of the Illinois State Police.
Murray was hired by Bellwood in 2003 after he retired from the State Police, where he served for nearly 30 years.
Since the State Police have their own training process, different from that which municipal officers go through, Murray would have had to apply for a waiver from the ILETSB in order to qualify as an officer for the Bellwood department.
But that waiver was never issued and the ILETSB has no record of Murray.
"They have to let us know he was hired and ask for a waiver based on the fact that he was trained by the State Police, but I don't have any of that," said Sheila Albright, spokeswoman for the ILETSB. "He is not listed as a certified officer in Illinois."
Also not listed on Bellwood's roster is Wilson Pierce, Bellwood's public safety director and interim police chief, who was hired at the same time as Murray.
Pierce refused to comment on the matter.
"I can simply tell you that Deputy Chief Murray has (nearly) 30 years of experience as a police officer with the Illinois State Police," Pierce said.
He refused to comment on why a waiver wasn't applied for with the ILETSB that would allow Murray to make arrests.
As for why neither Murray or Pierce were added to Bellwood's official police roster, Pierce responded, "I wouldn't know what that reason was."
Pierce said the public safety director position is purely administrative and that he has not made any arrests, but refused to comment on whether he holds the power to make arrests.
When reached by telephone, Murray would not answer questions about his qualifications.
Since Murray is not recognized as a certified police officer, he is not allowed to make arrests or carry a weapon -- both of which he has done.
One of Murray's arrest came April 8 when Jeanette Johnson, a Bellwood police officer and former Bellwood School District 88 Board president, was charged with battery to a police officer, resisting a peace officer and violating election code.
Johnson's attorney, Tom Crooks, said he filed a motion to dismiss the resisting charge at a Friday hearing due to the information that Murray is not a peace officer.
No judgment was made on the motion and the case was continued until Aug. 5, said Colin Simpson of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.
"I had a brief conversation with the deputy chief and asked him if he had a wavier and he said he did not and he wanted to talk to the town's lawyers, so I continued it for a short date," Simpson said.
Another arrest Murray made may also hinge on whether he is determined by the court to be unqualified to make arrest, Simpson said.
On March 31, then Bellwood mayoral candidate David Ireland and his campaign coordinator Solomon Smith were arrested at a Metra station and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a peace officer after allegedly removing campaign literature from car windows.
Murray was the arresting officer in that case, Ireland said.
"He was the officer in charge of the scene and he was the highest-ranking officer that was there," Ireland said. "He actually came to the scene and gave directions and told folks what to do."
He also questioned how Murray could be hired, promoted from captain to deputy chief and allowed to make arrests without the proper protocol.
"What kind of a mayor do we have who would not properly put people in place, (but instead get) people who do not have the qualifications and the training?" Ireland asked. "Not only are people at risk, but our village (is at risk) because you're talking potential lawsuits.
"In my mind, it speaks to the integrity of the mayor -- is he really looking out for our best interests? Or is he asleep on the job?"
Mayor Frank Pasquale said he knew that Murray did not have the proper qualifications with the ILETSB to make arrests and that neither he nor Pierce were on the department's official roster.
"We're aware of it," Pasquale said.
He added that both men appeared to have the proper experience for their posts.
"Their background, I thought, was quite impressive," Pasquale said.

Chicago Tribune News Puppy Smears Tamara Holder

The Tribune editorial board is stuffed with disc jockeys, ladies-who-lunch, real estate 3Card Monte shufflers, but bugger all newsmen.

The newspaper is becoming one big blog.

Witness this smear of Attorney/journalist Tamara Holder:

On June 9, she posted commentary on the Huffington Post after attending opening arguments the day before. Most of her posting focused on U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who is alleged to have bargained with Blagojevich for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama. Jackson has denied any wrongdoing in the public corruption case against Blagojevich.

Holder concluded before the first witness had taken the stand that Jackson's name should be cleared.

"Of course, we haven't yet heard any of the evidence, but what we did hear leads me to believe that now, after 18 months, Congressman Jackson can breathe a sigh of relief, no matter how you look at this case," Holder wrote.

What she didn't say in her post is that she has professional ties to the congressman's father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson. According to her online biography, Holder created a legal clinic in 2006 at Jackson's Rainbow PUSH Coalition headquarters in Chicago.

She opened the clinic to generate clients for her law practice, which focuses on clearing people's criminal records by getting them expunged or sealed. In an interview Monday, Holder said she reviewed the records for free and if a person wanted to hire her she charged $500 plus filing cost, half of her regular fee.

Holder's work with the Rev. Jackson is a conflict of interest if she is writing about his son, said Kelly McBride, a media-ethics expert at the Poynter Institute, a journalism think tank. But bloggers who are not journalists are generally not held to the same ethical standards as journalists.

First off - to paraphrase a real journalist Steve Rhodes, "This is news . . .how?"

Secondly, Tamara Holder is offering her insights on the Blagojevich Trial.

Thirdly, Sneerdly, Ms. Holder is quite up-front in her associations.

Fourth and Foremost, I am no friend of the Family Jackson, but believe that Congressman Jackson was jackpotted by Blago and friends.

Ameet Sachdev wrote this about Tamara Holder because . . . someone told him to do so, it seems to me.

A real journalist like Phil Rosenthal, John Kass, or John McCormick would have had some meat to bring to the table.

Ameet has only that which blocks the space between his ears - seems to me.

Prime Minister Winston Obama - " I Inherited Neville's Invasion and I Accept the Buck for Dunkirk -There's No Boats!"'

Tonight it appears that President Obama will change the narrative - British Petroleum crashed hijacked planes into the the Event Horizon Oil Rig at the orders of former President George W. Bush and he inherited the greatest ecological disaster and its not his fault. Then he will announce a really stupid order that will boost American Taxes and MSNBC will warn us that grannies of the Tea Party are dangerous.

Cry Wolf from Our Amateur Hour White House.

President Obama removed the bust of Winston Churchill in one of his first and only acts as President.

Imagine if President Obama were Prime Minister in 1940 Britain - hell, why not, the President imagines that his dandified mincing around the Gulf oil spill parallels 9/11. As if, . . .

Picture this, roughly seventy years prior to the month of Obama's full time inaction on Event Horizon, Prime Minister Winston Obama acts in much of the same manner - this time 336,000 British troops are stranded on the beach at Dunkirk.

Winston Churchill rallied everything that could float and shoved them all across the English Channel and what remained of the British Army was saved and went on to defeat Hitler.

Dunkirk

After the British deliverance at Dunkirk, Churchill, in the House of Commons, rallied Britain with his most memorable speech.

"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender," he declared.

Then, as the House of Commons thundered in an uproar at his stirring rhetoric, Churchill muttered in a whispered aside to a colleague, "And we’ll fight them with the butt ends of broken beer bottles because that’s bloody well all we’ve got!"

Now, let's shift our historical narrative with our imaginations - No Hitler like BP and GOP -

Hushed Sissified BBC voice:
This IS the BBC - Prime Minister Obama speaks to Parliament on the complete defeat of Crown Forces and the capture of the entire British Expeditionary Force at Dunkerque.Ladies and Gentleman . . .the Prime Minister . . .

“Some of you may have noticed that we have been building this foundation without much help from our friends in the other party. From our efforts to rescue the economy to health insurance reform to financial reform, most have sat on the sidelines and shouted from the bleachers. They said no to tax cuts for small businesses; no to tax credits for college tuition; no to investments in clean energy. They said no to protecting patients from insurance companies and consumers from big banks, make no mistake, I have been on this from day one, I talked to Lord Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney, not because this is some college seminar, but because someone could use the thorough and sound thumping , What? What? Haw? Haw . . This is Neville Chamberlain's Legacy!!!! The French won;t fight! I am annoucing an Energy policy that will make the Third Reich energy dependent - Windmills! I am on it!"

Ripping, Winnie! or is it Whiny?

Loevy & Loevy v. Law Enforcement, Part II - Help from Cops

Loevy and Loevy, That's Jon Loevy, conducting Law in front of the very willing and compliant corporate media: this was from the famous Screwdriver Houdini case. "To avoid further litigation, the City's attorneys agreed to settle for $4 million (plus attorneys' fees and expenses) if the jury found in favor of Coffie, and nothing for Coffie if the jury found in favor of the police defendants."


I received a note from a Law Enforcement Professional and Organized crime expert. This gentlemen worked very close with Arthur Loevy in forming a Police Union. Ironically, the Arthur Loevy the powerful labor lawyer who networked with labor dollar stuffed Amalgamated Bank of Chicago, Sidley and Austin, and founded UNITE seems to have abandoned the working police officers he purported to "organize" and took the power of his knowledge to make mountains of money for himself and his son - Police suing lawyer Jon Loevy.

Loevy and Loevy go wherever any voice, usually a career criminal, claims the slighests intimation of abuse. Loevy and Loevy force cities, villages and townships to settle with a huge pie of cash ( 1/3 to Loevey and Loevy) that came out of taxpayers pockets.

Arthur Loevy was proud to see his boy Jon clerk for Judge Milton Shadur, work briefly for the blue stocking firm of Sidley and Austin and then -

Starting these Lawyers ( Arthur and Jon Loevy) on their career - mentioned on your blog Mr. Hickey - on their firm's path - their way forward from the law firms embryonic stage in 1999 - being attorneys suing those in law enforcement - are the following police officers - intimately involved:

William Stutzman - Wheeling P D Just recently retired

Michael Dwyer - Evergreen Park P D

Butch McGorcle - Burbank P D

Marty McGrath - Oak Lawn P D

Solomon Smith - Maywood P D ( RET)

One of the first cases Loevy firm had was against Chief Jim Houk of Oak Lawn P D - another top ranking officer - Terry Voderer and the Village of Oak Lawn.

The above named five police officers initiated - steered Arthur Loevy to that law suit.

The case was settled by the Village of Oak Lawn against the wishes of the police officers because it would cost more for the Village of Oak Lawn to defend the suit rather than to settle the case.

Loevy was representing a Oak Lawn police officer named Carlos Panthera whom Chief Houk had rightfully brought dismissal charges against for amongst other issues bragging of gang involved activity. Panthera left the P D.

Loevy went forward to make more money - the money being the raison d’être for his involvement at that time and presently.

Three Chicago Police Officers have had their pockets picked by Loevy and Loevy only last week, as part of a Jon Loevy $1.3 m dollar settlement. Talk about profiling and police abuse!

People who live in crime ridden areas often ask the police why they can't do more to the criminal element. I truly believe that the efforts of firms like Loevy & Loevy have hamstrung hard working policemen and the good people of Chicago pay literally and figuratively.
According to the Loevy & Loevy website "the guiding principle governing our decision process can be summarized very simply: achieving justice." Bullshit! Its money!
Read for yourself the Loevy & Loevy Website and see what contempt this firm has for the police.
If its all about justice why hasn't Jon Loevy taken on the wrongful deaths of policemen at the hands of cold blooded murderers? The answer: Money!

I can not believe that police officers are helping Loevy and Loevy, but then again, I still go to Confession on Saturdays. You see Loevy and Loevy not only makes millions of dollars, but they helped create Chicago's Thug Comfort Zone - Thugs feel free and even compelled to savagely kill. I have witnessed the death of great kids at the hands of these savages - Jason Riley Leo 2004 Valedictorian and Golden Gloves Champion was slaughtered at 69th & Ashland. Thugs can murder and if caught they call Loevy and Loevy! Crime pays handsomely.

This is interesting. Should be more to come.

It is funny, Chicago's news media never mentioned this riches to riches tale of the Family Loevy.
