Chicago Needs A Neighbor as Mayor - ATU 308 President Bob Kelly Makes Sense



Laura Washington, God love her, suggests that Chicago needs a hometown De Blasio.  If De Blasio translates to ' a powerful enema,'  I agree. Chicago's blocked colon is the result of, not the lack of Progressives.

However, De Blasio name probably come from the Italian of Biazz in Tuscony, or the Italian Swiss town of the same name.  De Blasio is avariant of the name Biasi.  There was a famous Italian manufacturer of explosives by the name of Mario Biazzi (1897-1974), which would factor nicely with the former Sandinista Boy Scout, a married a former lesbian and is now Mayor of the Big Apple.

I did not know that there were former lesbians.  I thought they were like members of Irish Republican Army, or the U.S. Marines - Once In, Never out. Lord have mercy.

Bill De Blasio and Rahm Emanuel are cuts from the same cloth. However, once a Progressive gets a taste for corporate boodle, he can not get his snout out of the trough.  Bill De Blasio is only just wetting his beak.  Rahm has had a moolah bath for decades in golden tubs filled by Goldman Sachs, Hollywood, Planned Parenthood and the Non-Euclidian Plutocracy.

When corporate suits play at Progressive and the political rubber meets the road there is always a blow-out.  Real estate and real politics are a fixture not unlike sticking a starving rat and rabid raccoon in a burlap bag. One will win the fang and claw fest but you end up with a useless and bloody bag.

A recent study of Santa Cruz, CA offers this insight, " Since most cities are usually controlled by real estate developers and their buddies, Santa Cruz is a good test case for comparing theories of urban power. Atypical cases are helpful in eliminating theories from consideration if they cannot explain the unexpected events." Not true.  Most cities are controlled by coalitions of interests outside of the city limits.  The suits don't live in the city.

Now, don't get all nasty on the real estate developer.  Their 'buddies' are banks, lawyers, Friends of the Parks, Universities, political weasels and the media.   They have tony zip codes.

Toni Preckwinkle, President of the Cook County Board and recent Single Mom, is poised to challenge Rahm Emanuel for Mayor.  Toni has a tony zip code.

Most Chicagoans do not.  Chicagoans need a mayor who is also a neighbor and not just some cork-screw in Armani who stashed the old lady's wedding dress in the family rental, while in greener pastures.

If Chicago want to break the cycle of dynastic Kleptarchy and Progressive blow-out government ( which have nationally, state-wide, county level and at City Hall), Chicago needs to get a neighbor in the brawl.  I'd pick ATU Local 308 President Robert Kelly.


  • Kelly is no friend of the grifting interests that begat Emanuel, Claypool, Preckwinkle & Quinn
  • Kelly is a middle class wage earner who earned his Carhartt gear
  • Kelly is a geuine labor leader, unlike the Marxist myna bird - Karen Lewis
  • Kelly is a Chicago tax paying homeowner with eleven children
  • Kelly is leader of a broad and diverse labor local of skilled professionals
  • Kelly has managed one of the only Pension funds in Illinois that is going to benefit its membership
  • Kelly is already in the political cross-hairs
  • Kelly is already a media target - how can one not trust person whom Eric Zorn, Rich Miller, Carol Marin and Michael Sneed just don't like.
Chicago could use an enema with firehouse on full strength.  Chicago is not New York, never was and never should be. Every stupid idea Chicago City Council ever nanny stated on its people came from New York. Vote in Chicagoans.

The difference between Rahm (Bloomberg) and Toni ( De Blasio) is the difference between cancer and strychnine.

Herman-eutics


Hermeneutics is the study of texts in their many manifestations. It came out of Bible studies and how words were translated and evolved into a discipline during the 19th Century concerned with 'authenticity.' Was St. Jerome genuinely happy as a starving stylite when he translated the Old and New Testaments from Hebrew and Greek to Army Camp Latin -The Vulgate? Crap like that. Who shives a git?!!!!

Germans can pile it on like no other ethnic group, crap and or paper. Hermeneutics, the word, is derived from the Greek God Hermes - the messenger of the gods - AKA - The Interpreter, The Deceiver, The Deliverer, The Guy With the Straight Dope. As an undergraduate and graduate student I was subjected to German Hermeutics -Hans Georg Gadamer, and Paul Ricoeur et al. - because hermeneutics crossed over to literary studies. Schleiermacher said that every problem of interpretation is a problem of understanding. UhHuh. This on the test?

Progressive despise religious doctrine; Progressives cling to Memes. Memes are churned out and disseminated by AKPD Media Firm - better known as David Axelrod and Obama 2012. Memes go directly to the Media and Hollywood. Hermeneutics the study of texts sure seems heavy in the AKPD Media Firm's work.

Progressive do hermeneutics - example - Michael Moore is neither a plutocrat nor an enormous endomorph - because he does not will to be. Though Michael Moore appears to be 99%body fat, he can not and shall not be judged to be one of the 1%.

GM is save, Bin Laden died - Okay?

How about these -BP spilled and the Economy Tanked? Solyndra Gained and Solyndra Tanked? Not working -though of the same logic.


Hermeneutics is now becoming Herman -eutics, because nothing makes a Progressive poop his pantie hose, like a genuine Black Man who holds conservative principles, an authentic, practicing and religious Jew, or a Catholic unencumbered by coin from Planned Parenthood. What's wrong with those people?

Herman Cain, the Progressive argues, is not an 'authentic' Black Man - Really? More so, if you like Herman Cain it is only because you happen to be a racist.

Herman Cain is merely an 'Entertainer' ( Laura Washington Sun Times) or a Minstrel Show Darkie ( Toure -mononomynous pampered child of privilege and MSBNC Black Man).

Herman Cain, like most of us does not get the Meme. His favorable polling numbers will soar and the vitriol will get more vinegary from Lettermen, Leno, MSNBC and the MEME idolaters. Group think is what it is all about.

Barack Obama came to the White House packaged in bubble-wrap and shipping peanuts. He is the Dresden China President, he chips and breaks far too easily.

Herman Cain would stride into the same building under his own steam. No one will raise Cain - Cain is self-lifting and that scares the manure out of Politico's Jonathan "Mumbles" Martin's mouth.

Herman Cain reminds me of every authentic black man who sends his son to Leo. Like Herman, that man pays his own way and demands raised expectations for his son.

Authentic black men suffer no back sass, guff, or bullshit from their sons or their sons' teachers. Authentic black men, like authentic white men, do not bully, nor do they accept bullying. Authentic black men are only bested by authentic women, as are all authentic men.

Bullies and phonies jabber. Herman Cain speaks authentically.

Herman Cain may or may not get the GOP nomination. I would vote for him, over the tasseled loafer alternatives Mitt, Perry and Newt. I am still a Democrat, but I did not vote for President Obama the last go around and most certainly will not again. I would vote for Herman Cain in New York Times Minute.

When all of the gold-plated jackasses in America are against Herman Cain, you can bet that Herman Cain is the only authentic man running for President.

Hermaneutics was a pain in the ass. Herman-eutics is pathetic.

Herman Cain is authentic.

Great Laura Washington Political Analysis - Chute and Ladders!


Laura Washington, along with Tim Novak, Mark Konkol, Mike Mulligan, and Kate Grossman, keeps me reading the Sun Times.

Laura Washington is one of the two people who ever make sense as guests on WTTW's ersatz Politics Spins on Chicago Tonight or the fatuous Joel Weisman's Week in Review. Weisman always seems 'coached and prepped' in PC Doctrine while he has been slapped with make-up before the show.

Paul Green and Laura Washington are almost always on the money.

Today, in the Chicago Sun Times Laura Washington uses the Chutes and Ladders - why not Snakes and Ladders? - trope to blueprint the upcoming political season.

This is brilliant! Click my post title for the whole story - here's my favorite nugget about Jan Schakowsky's perpetual 'PUT ME IN FRONT!' nonsense. Jan has all the genuine affection for working people as Leona Helmsley - but none of Leona's people skills.

Things will be even more hopeless if U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky decides to take a shot at the seat. Schakowsky is a powerhouse fund-raiser with a bullet-proof base among female, progressive and Jewish voters.

Ald. Joe Moore (49th) is said to be salivating over a Schakowsky bid, as that would give him a shot at her 9th Congressional District seat. The national thrill of his foie gras crusade is long gone, and he wants it back. Still, since the Rogers Park pol barely won reelection in 2007, he may not be in the best shape to muscle another rung up the ladder.


Nice work, Ms. Washington!
