Five Rauf Necks from The Religion of Peace Arrested for Plot on the Pope in Jolly Olde England

Five - count 'em - Five Algerians Try to Kill the Pope. Like These Five Algerians of days gone by!
Fiver Algerian Altar boys? No. Five Algerian Orangemen? Nope. Five Algerian Camus and Noam Chomsky Fans of Malboro Lites and Lap Dances? Warmer. Five Algerian Islamist Thugs Who Missed Imam Rauf's Mideast Meet-'N-Greet? Bingo!

The suspects, who are aged 26, 27, 36, 40 and 50, are being held and questioned under the Terrorism Act 2000.

The firm where the arrests were made is now being searched, as well as homes in north and east London.

Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said he understood the men were North Africans employed by the agency to work for Westminster City Council.

He said they had been about to start a day shift that would have included cleaning streets around the House of Commons, where the Pope is due to speak, when they were arrested.

Progressive Guest Blogger - Secular Feminist Gay Cannibal Rights Advocate - Ms. Seeley Hoyne-Hamilton

The delicate and thoughtful woman with whom I spend the best hours of my week, in person or via phone chides me to consider the point of view of others.

In order to really get to know autere people one must leave one's comfort zone and seek differing points of view - like turning on NPR, WTTW, CBS, NBC, ABC,CNN, reading the NYT,Trib, Sun Times Editorials, or taking coffee at another venue.

Rather than take coffee with the 19th Ward Yeomanry, which is my wont, at Kean Gas Station, White Hen What's By the Beverly Bank, Karim and Bidya's Dunkin Donuts on
104th and Western, I decided to get my Arabica on at Fuzzy Quim's Alternative Roast over by 99th & the Metra. I met a dowager ( late-50's ) who after four failed marriages divorced the right banker and got the magnificent Frank Lloyd Wright-Knock Off on Longwood Drive in Beverly 60643 where she resides with her Lovers ( I did not ask and I shall not tell). She has a point of view that rings familiar and at the same time runs counter to the thought patterns of my neighbors.

I present the morning musings of my invited guest Ms. Seeley Hoyne-Hamilton - she is not the stereotypical Beverly Breeder Catholic/Baptist/Lutheran/Methodist/Wiccan( Yes, Muriel, There be Wiccans here about - nice folks, don't piss them off) Mom.

"The secular identity of the American people is not something to criticize, but to celebrate. We have rejected dogmatic religion devoid of compassion. I wear Pink only on Days that coincide with my menstrual flow and my Lovers' willingness to drive my three cats to the Unitarian Day Care in Hyde Park. I chose abortion, it did not choose me.

After thirteen years of George Bush and his racist war on the Iraqi people, of whom I sing! Zionist, Pig! Millions of Afghan women were systemically tortured by Bush's thugs and the Pope's Swiss Guard Why has the Pope not been arrested for the sexual abuse of children? Benny the Rat doesn't want anybody to be tolerant of atheists, gays, and intellectuals, or to treat women as equals.

Planned Parenthood and Gloria Steinem is having a Tea to celebrate women and I will be there. How about you? Not Breeders of course. Before my Awakening , I had any number of baby bumps aborted and I proudly tell everyone how do you think I keep this figure? Abortion colon cleansings, and reading Joan Walsh in Salon. I am WOMAN and not Womb-Man.

Who is the intolerant one here? If Gays and Cannibals, after all of their Great Service to America, can not who can? Remember Gays and Cannibals never owned slaves - Gays I mean really. And Cannibals dined on persons of all hues in the Rainbow!Imagine, persecuting someone whose choice of diet includes human flesh, well, that is not the America I choose.

I Love dance and contribute regularly to the Planned Parenthood Ballet in Lakeview, where Congressman Mike Quigley has made sure that Health Care Funding Dollars make our Arts a priority for sexually ambivalent teens and questioning young adults who may not know that door to the hideous Zionist closet is open to them - once Israel is wiped off the face of the earth,pets and Breeders spayed and neutered.


Eric Zorn is the only genuine voice for women and Palin and ll those Tea Baggers and Ward Thugs will emasculate Real Women. Read Sister Miriam MacGillis, founder of Genesis Farm and recipient of the 2005 Thomas Berry Award for her ministry on the new cosmology so that we can finally do as Sierra Club and Debra Shore demand and change the flow of the Chicago River. I Am a Progressive Woman, because the penis fell off all of the smart people who Chose to terminate that unwanted child within!

I can not get a head of good organic arugula in this stupid neighborhood. After my colon cleansings nothing is more important than the quality time I spend with Rachel Maddow and my Lovers.

The Old Boy's Club? It think not and I vote not!

Lastly, I Hate Fat, Stupid People and this beautiful planet is just too overpopulated with them. Be kind."

Well, Hush My Beak! Next on Fresh Air!

Fry Me a Guinness! "A Pint of Plain" Ravioli?

Someone once said,"I would eat my foot if it were wrapped in bacon." It might have been Smash McKenna, or Benjamin Disraeli, I can't really remember, but the delicate notion of such a gustatorial treat is poetically interesting.

Yet, I can not imagine Pintsman Extraordinaire Bernard Callahan proprietor of Keegan's Pub installing a deep fryer next to the Guinness Pumps -

'Hey, Bernard, sink a couple of pints in the lard for me and the boys . . . Get everyone from the street to the sh#thouse!'

' You Daft Wanker of Limited Awareness! Perhaps you'd like a tight Knuckle Roll to start off! Bugger off out of here!'

Nevertheless, a Texas chef has gone over the goal line stance of culinary creativity and managed to deer fry -Beer.

Witness, My Brothers!

Inventor Mark Zable said it had taken him three years to come up with the cooking method and a patent for the process is pending. He declined to say whether any special ingredients were involved.

His deep-fried beer will be officially unveiled in a fried food competition at the Texas state fair later this month.

Five ravioli-like pieces will sell for $5 (£3) and the Texas Alcoholic Commission has already ruled that people must be aged over 21 to try it.

Mr Zable has so far been deep frying Guinness but said he may switch to a pale ale in future. ( emphasis my own)

He said: "Nobody has been able to fry a liquid before. It tastes like you took a bite of hot pretzel dough and then took a drink of beer." Mr Zable previously invented dishes including chocolate-covered strawberry waffle balls and jalapeño corndog shrimps.

Last year's winner of the Texas state fair fried food competition was a recipe for deep-fried butter.

What do you wash it down with? Calamari Martini?

Well Dog My Cats! I been to eight county fairs and twelve hog-call contests, but I ain't never heard of no Deep Fried Beer!

This will . . .what's the word? Thunderbird! What's the Price? Forty Twice!

Next up, Poached Beef Jerky Ragout!

My Old Roomie Tom Kilbride - Chief Justice of Illinois Supreme Court

As a baby teacher at Bishop McNamara High School ( 1975), I had the pleasure of Tom Kilbride's company for the summer months in my apartment on the Kankakee River - the old River's Edge Apartments - way over priced, but it had a pool and was walking distabce to Bishop McNamara.

Tom was working as a N/S community and labor organizer and going to Grad School at St. Mary's in Winona, MN - and in between gigs. Tom's younger brother Joe had just graduated from Mac and was on his way to St. Procopius ( Illinois Benedictine) in Lisle and Jim Frogge, Bishop Mac's brilliant Physics and Chemistry Teacher as well as Defensive Co-ordinator for the Fighting Irish asked me to help Tom out and let the man crash. He did.

Tom had been a pretty good athlete at Mac, not nearly as good as Joe and was an outstanding student. Tom is a great guy.

I hope that my night terrors and catatonic screaming did not overly disturb his slumbers. He will be a wide-awake replacement for the wonderful Leo Man Tom Fitzgerald as Chief Justice of Illinois Supreme Court.

Kilbride Tapped for Chief Justice
September 16, 2010


By Scott Reeder Illinois Statehouse News

SPRINGFIELD — Supreme Court Justice Tom Kilbride has been selected by his colleagues to be chief justice of the Illinois Supreme Court, Illinois Statehouse News has learned.

The order will come down today naming the 10-year veteran of the high court to be its leader for a three-year term beginning Oct. 26, a source familiar with the situation said late Wednesday.

But whether his time as chief justice will be for the full three years or just a few weeks will be determined by the voters Nov. 2.

Every 10 years, Illinois Supreme Court justices must stand for retention. At least 60 percent of voters must vote for retaining the judge in order for the person to remain in office.

Ordinarily these elections are uneventful affairs, but this year Kilbride is being targeted for removal from the court by groups unhappy with how the court has ruled.

That strategy is part of a growing national trend in which groups representing doctors, hospitals, manufacturers and other businesses that are often sued work to reshape the judiciary.

Ed Murnane, president of the Illinois Civil Justice League, said his group is targeting Kilbride because it is unhappy with a number of votes he cast concerning business. Much of the Civil Justice League’s funding comes from business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Chief Justice Thomas Fitzgerald announced Monday that he will be retiring from the Supreme Court Oct. 25 because he has Parkinson’s Disease. Chief justices are selected by their colleagues to serve three year terms and traditionally it is rotated between Cook County justices and those from other parts of the state.

Kilbride was expected to be next in line in the rotation.

“It was his turn,” Murnane said. “I think the timing of Justice Fitzgerald’s retirement is interesting. He is retiring a week before the election and this should give Kilbride a nice PR boost right before the election.”

But Mike Lawrence, past director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, said he doubts it will have much impact.

“I don’t think it will make much of a difference. Ultimately voters are going to make a decision based on Justice Kilbride’s qualifications and how well the judge has comported himself. Whether or not he is chief justice shouldn’t make a difference,” he said.

Mount Carmel's Ted Cachey - Lights up a Night of Stars!

Last night's Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame at Hawthorne Race track was a lesson in courage, conviction and commitment. Leo High School had several tables purchased by Leo and Purdue football great Bob Sheehy and Boxing Coach and one of the Directors of the Sports Hall of Fame Mike Joyce. Patti Bidwill, of the Bidwill Family Foundation and daughter of Sports Legend Stormy Bidwill was Bob Sheehy's guest.

There were iconic names honored - Coach Mike Krzyzewski, Franbk Thomas, John Hannah and Gerry Sullivan, but it was the words from the lesser known names that had the most spiritual impact with their acceptance speeches.

Linda Mastandrea, Paralympic Gold Medal Champion, spoke of path that heroes take with so many other people - we never accomplish things on our own. Blue Island High School Olympian and mentor to so many young athletes Willie May, All American, Indiana University continued on the theme.

However it was Mount Carmel's Ted Cachey who was most poignant. Cachey captained every team he played for from grammar school through University of Michigan. However, Mr. Cachey talked about academics.

A Latin instructor at Mount Carmel understood the young freshman, Cachey's deficencies with English composition and instructed the boy to write - something- every night. The next day, Cachey was to place the essay or pargraph under the priest's office door.

The Carmelite would correct Cachey's grammar, punctuation, spelling and rhetoric, but never assign a grade.

Cachey kept those written lessons and read one last night. It was about Guts- intestinal fortitude - which had been the rubric of athletic education. Guts is a four letter word that must pertain to so much more than a football field, the hardwood, the track, the pool, or the ice. GUTS is perseverence. Cachey told a roomful of great athletes and me about Guts. Work at what you must work at every day, correct your mistakes, do not expect praise for what you are obliged to do and lead a happy life.

Here are the happy people of whom Ted Cachey spoke so well decades ago as a kid at Mount Carmel High School - with a lot of guts.

Mike Ovitz is Not Disney Mike Ovitz - Conclusion Jumped - Back to the Blocks!

Chicago: EXCERPTS FROM MY INTERVIEW

This AM I took Mike Ovitz to be the Movie Disney Mogul Michael.
Te Mike Ovitz in Lynn Sweet's column is an earnest young Rahm Warrior.
Sincere Apologies all around!

Shucks and darn! Well, I'm still worried about the Mickey Mafia! Goofy? Dopey?

Maybe, but also Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezey, and Bashful when I'm Happy, Doc!

Is Disney Buying the Tank for Mayor Rahmbo?

I caught this on Lynn Sweet's column commentary about Hollywood Swanger Rahm Emanuel.

By Michael Ovitz on September 14, 2010 10:07 AM
I'm a very strong supporter of Rahm Emanuel for Mayor in our city. I have a couple of facebook fan pages in support of his run for office:

-"Rahm for Mayor"
-"Rahm 2011"

On last week, I conducted a poll to see who the favorite would be for Mayor and overwhelmingly it was Rahm Emanuel with 60% of the vote Today I started a new poll adding a couple of new names to the list, Rahm again is leading with 50% of the vote. These are hard numbers and votes from various people via this link

I've been generating a buzz...and would welcome the opportunity to talk to you about it. I've already spoken with Steve Miller of WBBM radio 780AM here in Chicago. He did a few excerpts of our phone interview last week. If you're interested in hearing them, please let me know.

Thanks,

Mike Ovitz

Mickey Ovitz is a Chicag-born talent agent and, Sweetheart, Mickey and the Gang would love to make Entourage on the Lake! The Mickey Mafia Rides For Rahmbo!

Disney's Mike Eisner is buying the Tribune off of Sam Zell. Hokey Smokes, Pluto!
Rahm Knows Disney! Rahm Hit Up Disney for President Obama, at least.

Washington Post:

Rather than calling ABC, the White House chief of staff phoned Bob Iger, chief executive of parent company Disney. Instead of contacting NBC, Emanuel went to Jeffrey Immelt, the chief executive of General Electric. He also spoke with Les Moonves, the chief executive of CBS, the company spun off from Viacom.

Is Michael Eisner about to surface at Tribune? The Tribune-owned Los Angeles Times says the former Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) CEO is a contender to replace current chairman Sam Zell once the company emerges from its very messy bankruptcy proceedings. The publication cites four unnamed sources who say that Eisner would be brought on along with Jeff Shell, the current president of Comcast’s programming group and former FOX Cable Networks president, who would be CEO.

Hey, Disney is not only in the tank for Rahmbo. . .it's buying the whole damn tank!

Bubbie, we got us a White House, it's Dog I Know,Let's Get Us Chicago! The Lake! The Steaks! The Take!

Michael S. Ovitz (born December 14, 1946) is an American talent agent who co-founded Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in 1975 and served as its chairman until 1995; Mr. Ovitz also served as President of the Walt Disney Company, from October 1995 to January 1997.

Disney President
In 1995, Mr. Ovitz resigned from CAA to become president of the Walt Disney Company under chairman Michael Eisner. Ovitz quickly grew frustrated with his role in the company and vague definition of duties.[7] After a tumultuous year as Disney's second in command, he was dismissed by Eisner in January 1997.[8] Disney shareholders later sued Eisner and Disney's board of directors for awarding Ovitz a severance package valued at $38 million in cash and $131 million in stock.[9] Later court proceedings reflect that Ovitz' stock options were granted when he was hired to induce him to join The Walt Disney Company, not granted when he was fired, and the $130 million figure was an estimate by news sources of what his stock options might hypothetically be worth. The court eventually upheld Disney's payment.[10]

Personal life
Ovitz is a private investor who continues to advise informally the careers of luminaries such as Martin Scorsese, David Letterman and Tom Clancy. Active in philanthropy, he donated $25 million in 1999 to spearhead fund raising efforts for UCLA's Medical Center[14], and has contributed significantly to numerous other philanthropic endeavors[15]. A private investor and businessman, his notable activities have ranged from attempts to bring an NFL team to the Los Angeles Coliseum [16] to ventures in online media.[17]

Ovitz is considered one of the world's top art collectors.[18] His contemporary pieces include works by Pablo Picasso, Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and many others.[19]

O'Donnell Abu! Delaware Outsider Clocks Mike Castle! Chicago- R. Emmett Tyrrell Might Do Just That . . . Not to Mike Castle Of Course -O'Donnell Did

. . .On with O'Donnell then! Fight the good fight again!
Sons of TyrConnell are valiant and true!

Strike! For your Country! O'Donnell abu!

Great tune! And now the tune-up!


One of Rich Miller's Sock Puppets at Capitol Fax Blog reacted to the news that R. Emmett Tyrrell, founder and editor-in-chief of The American Spectator, a West Side Chicago native and Fenwick Alumnus, stated his interest in running for Mayor Chicago.

- IrishPirate - Tuesday, Sep 14, 10 @ 12:33 pm:

Tyrrell is thinking of running?

Pat Hickey’s hands must be sweaty and I bet his heart skipped a beat. Alan Keyes isn’t available?

If Vdrolyak runs I imagine Hickey might not even be able to type because of all the excitement. The word “vapors” comes to mind.

Does “R Emmett’The Clown’ Tyrrell even live in Chicago?

In some cases people seem to forget that you have to actually live in Chicago or at least be a “resident” of Chicago for one year prior to the election. I’ve seen reports touting candidates who live and are registered in the suburbs.

http://thecapitolfaxblog.com/2010/09/14/daley-retirementpalooza-continues-unabated/#comments

Sweaty hands? Well, IP Old Son, this 19th Ward Democrat has ice water in his political veins. Guys call and ask, "Want Yard Sign?" Sure put 'em over there. Get excited about elected officials? Please. I get excited when they change the deli counter at County Fair and at Calabria Imports, but excited about candidates? No, Sock Puppet, I am much older than six years of age. Little kids get loopy about colored balloons and buttons. I vote or help only good girls and boys.

Kelly Burke, Johnny O'Sullivan, Dan Lipinski, Bridgey Gainer, Mary Flowers, Paul "The Wall" Vallas, Ray Wardingly, Ed Maloney, Kathy Meany, Alexi Giannoulias, Pat Quinn, Terry Peterson, Tommy Dart, & etc.

Tommy Dart is a gent! He's broke, Tapioca( an homage to Mike Houlihan's Epic Comedy), bereft of funds, short on dough-ray-me, but very good guys are putting the idiot-stick on the money rake handle. You know, the reaaacccchhhh extenders that painters use. Shortly, Tom Dart will have more Hundos and Grants up around his knees than people living on 107th & Troy had flood waters in their basements.

Rahmbo is the media darling. He needed to buy off opponents when he ran for congress and import talent to ring door bells. But, he is really smart . . .the media keep saying that.

Meeks is not Gay Friendly.

La Pappas runs like a baton-twirling deer!

Terry Peterson is the guy to watch. Powerful folks were holding fund-raisers for Terry years ago and I went to them. If I had Terry's money, I'd throw mine away. More importantly, Terry Peterson knows government and he knows politics and that is what has been sadly missing from the Mayor's Office for decades.

Nah, Bob Tyrrell will enter the lists and challenge the Pie-Chart Dopes like Ralphie Martire who has bankrupted every branch of government that gives him time and money.

Rich Miller's political clearing house, Capitol Fax Blog, is a juicy, snark permitted, closed club of full agreement. The Miller Sock Puppets like Irish Pirate and my personal favorite Skeeter seem like government employed operatives with dogs in the fight. Could be. Who cares? It is a Democratic Club aad very Clubby - CFB blinks and flinches every time SEIU lifts its chubby arm.

Now, the news this AM tells us about the "clowns" and "outsiders" and "scary people" who still manage to win by huge margins, because voters are sick to death of Closed Clubs - GOP and Democrat.

This babe O'Donnell had the world on her back in her busines and still clobber GOP Marque Kirque Look-alike - Mike Castle:

DOVER and WILMINGTON, Del. -- Conservative activist Christine O'Donnell scored an upset victory in Delaware's Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, defeating longtime congressman Mike Castle 53 percent to 47 percent.

O'Donnell's surprising win marked yet another triumph for the Tea Party movement and may have ended the Republican Party's hopes of regaining control of the Senate in November. Polls have shown O'Donnell trailing far behind Democratic nominee Chris Coons, the New Castle county executive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people of Delaware have spoken: No more politics as usual," O'Donnell told an ecstatic crowd of campaign volunteers at her election night celebration in Dover. "Don't ever underestimate the power of ‘We The People.'"

In her victory speech, a beaming O'Donnell called for Republican Party unity, but she did not mention Castle by name.

Asked by RealClearPolitics while leaving the stage on Tuesday night whether Castle had called her to concede, O'Donnell said, "No, not yet."

What a Pound Off! We have plenty of similar Pound Offs in Illinois Public life - snark permitted.

Barry Obama is THE KENYAN -in Technicolor!

Many an act that man does is right or wrong according to the time and place which form, so to speak, its context; strip it of its surrounding circumstances, and you tear away its meaning. Gentlemen reformers, beware of this common practice of yours! beware of calling an act evil on Tuesday because that same act was evil on Monday The Virginian -Owen Wister


" When yu' can't have what you choose, yu' just choose what you have." - Obamacare? No, that was The Virginian as well.

However, a very bright and thoughtful American Thinker Dinesh D'Souza offers this -

If Obama shares his father's anticolonial crusade, that would explain why he wants people who are already paying close to 50% of their income in overall taxes to pay even more. The anticolonialist believes that since the rich have prospered at the expense of others, their wealth doesn't really belong to them; therefore whatever can be extracted from them is automatically just. Recall what Obama Sr. said in his 1965 paper: There is no tax rate too high, and even a 100% rate is justified under certain circumstances.

Obama supports the Ground Zero mosque because to him 9/11 is the event that unleashed the American bogey and pushed us into Iraq and Afghanistan. He views some of the Muslims who are fighting against America abroad as resisters of U.S. imperialism. Certainly that is the way the Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi portrayed himself at his trial. Obama's perception of him as an anticolonial resister would explain why he gave tacit approval for this murderer of hundreds of Americans to be released from captivity.

Finally, nasa. No explanation other than anticolonialism makes sense of Obama's curious mandate to convert a space agency into a Muslim and international outreach. We can see how well our theory works by recalling the moon landing of Apollo 11 in 1969. "One small step for man," Neil Armstrong said. "One giant leap for mankind."

But that's not how the rest of the world saw it. I was 8 years old at the time and living in my native India. I remember my grandfather telling me about the great race between America and Russia to put a man on the moon. Clearly America had won, and this was one giant leap not for mankind but for the U.S. If Obama shares this view, it's no wonder he wants to blunt nasa's space program, to divert it from a symbol of American greatness into a more modest public relations program.

Clearly the anticolonial ideology of Barack Obama Sr. goes a long way to explain the actions and policies of his son in the Oval Office. And we can be doubly sure about his father's influence because those who know Obama well testify to it. His "granny" Sarah Obama (not his real grandmother but one of his grandfather's other wives) told Newsweek, "I look at him and I see all the same things--he has taken everything from his father. The son is realizing everything the father wanted. The dreams of the father are still alive in the son."

Dinesh D'Souza
Sounds about right, Pard!

The Kenyan?

"When you call me that, SMILE." - I'm Smiling! Not happy but I'm Smiling.

Two more years, Boys and Girls and Exit Stage Left for . . .The Kenyan!

Sun Times Editorial Board Hacks Insult All Cops

Today's oily and pusillanimous editorial from the Chicago Sun Times Board, the one that probably invited Jody Weiss to whine the other day, is the hallmark of hypocrisy.

For their part, the police union and rank and file officers need to show they don't want "business as usual" and are determined to gain the respect of citizens still terrified by the years of police torture under recently convicted former Police Cmdr. Jon Burge.

Really. What a Police Leader should do is shout "Follow" instead of "Go!"

A Real Cop at the Top - not a smarmy sneak like our past Superintendent who cashed in his Department for smooches from Lawsuit Lawyers and University Think tanks - would have given the Press, the TV Icons, The Patch Elbowed Tweed Dweeb Academics, the One-Note Samba Hush Tone Hacks, and the Gutless Politicians any opportunity to undermine Police Review, Internal Affairs, Chain of Command or Unit Integrity for the sake of Policy and Politics.

A Real Cop at the Top would have given one and all a hearty 'Krump You!' in honor of the beat cop from West Side Story and backed up the heroic men and women who Follow His Lead.

This same Top Cop would give abusive, incompetent, cowardly and corrupt officers a "Tune-up" and exit from public service that would make Jon Burge seem like a member of the MacArthur Center for Justice.

Sun Times's Steve Huntley Calls Out the Radicals Who Crafted "Islamaphobia"

American Progressives ( Saul Alinsky said, Use Progressive rather than Socialist) get their thoughts and opinions from the Shape-shifters. Talking points! Hot buttons! Hardballs! Soft brains.

The Shape-shifters employ the intelectual constructs developed by John Dewey who cut-and-pasted his thoughts from Hegel.

Thus!
Choice means killing an unwanted child
Torture is only committed by Americans, their allies and Chicago Police
Racism means Whitey is bad
Whitey can be a Jew, a Catholic, an Asian, or a Black Supreme Court Justice
Woman can not be a homemaker who does not cotton to the idea of killing her
children
Fairness means only what is crafted by MSNBC, CBS,ABC,NYT, or NPR

Americans do not hate Muslims. Americans are not afraid of Muslims. Muslims are not Islamist Scumbags.




Imam Rauf and his Dragon Lady Burka-less wife Daisy sure look and smell like Islamist Thugs as do the whole Cordoba House crowd.



Chicago Sun Times Steve Huntley calls out the radical dopes and ninnies.

Well done, Steve!

There is no dispute that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf has a constitutional right to build a mosque at the Lower Manhattan location. Still, he displayed an extraordinarily tin ear to the tenor of the nation in not realizing that strong objections were bound to arise to locating it so near ground Americans consider hallowed. His rationale for staying the course is that relocation would strengthen radicalism, fuel terrorism and put Americans "under attack in the Muslim world."

First, fear of violence from the Muslim street keeps the Danish cartoons out of a book about the Danish cartoons. And President Obama cites Muslim opinion as a reason to close the Guantanamo detention center. Now Rauf warns us -- it's not a threat, he insists, but a warning -- that it's his way on the mosque or America faces new trouble. If that reasoning prevails, what will be the next national decision dictated by intimidation from our Islamist enemy?

Leo Lion of the Illinois Supreme Court - Chief Justice Thomas Fitzgerald Retires in October

Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court Thomas Fitzgerald will retire. Chie Justice Fitzgerald is the most respected justice in Illinois - Supreme and otherwise.

A 1959 Leo High School graduate and Leo Hall of Fame Inductee, Thomas Fitzgerald is an exemplary Christian gentleman and first-rate legal scholar.

Fitzgerald was one of four Supreme Court justices on the Nov. 2 ballot seeking retention to 10-year terms. The others are Justice Robert R. Thomas, a suburban Republican; Justice Thomas L. Kilbride, a Quad Cities-area Democrat; and Justice Charles E. Freeman, a Chicago Democrat.

"I just think he's a man of integrity, wisdom and professionalism," said Thomas, a former chief justice. "I was blessed to have him as a colleague the last 10 years. I was doubly blessed to be able to call him a good friend."

Fitzgerald began his law career in the Cook County state's attorney's office. He was first elected to the bench in 1976 — at the time the youngest elected circuit judge in the county. He was elected to the Supreme Court in 2000. He became chief justice in 2008.

Even before he went to the high court, Illinois Supreme Court justices had made him co-chairman of a commission reviewing the death penalty in Illinois. Fitzgerald set out pioneering recommendations calling for defense lawyers to be well-experienced and for judges to be well-trained.

Fitzgerald also played a significant role in cleaning up the Cook County traffic court after the Operation Greylord scandal. For years, he was a fixture on the county bench, where he was known for running his courtrooms with a cool hand and civility.

The chief justice also won strong reviews for his role as the presiding officer in the Illinois Senate overseeing the trial of Blagojevich, who was ousted from the governor's office in January 2009 on a 59-0 vote.

Fitzgerald's resignation is effective Oct. 25. Theis will enter the position the next day, giving up her seat on the appellate court.
