And YOU think this is Funny?!!!? . . .Sort of .. . Well, Yes, . . .Yes I Do.
Women nurture, tolerate, soothe, encourage, motivate and feed us.
The others? They are fictive loin zippos for healthy young males and patheic old gents. I tend to be both. I am close to six decades of twelve year old sensibilites. Call me Sparky Loyns.
I was sent to the barber shop as often as to the Confessional - weekly. My Dad could tell which barber shop was engaged by the level of lust radiating from my adolescent musk factory and sneaky furtive eyes.
t Max Esposito's at 79th & Asland was G-Rated
Mac's on 78th & Paulina gave free Pepsi and was a Book. Adult Amusement Solely but free pop and usually a losing horse-player did the cutting. " Know difference between a good and bad haircut, Kid? Butch Wax and two weeks . . .now, blow!"
Dom's on 79th Walcott was PG 13
Casey's on Damen was R-Rated (Guess who controlled the double-digit male demographic?)
The world we live is in no joke; therefore we must do everything that is in our power to make do with opportunity and the right viewing material.
This is an exceptionally compelling feature, in my opinion. The Waitress Masked Monkey!
Conservative? I suppose.
Dashing? Oh, ever defiantly so!

Val -"Des Ain't Coming!" Brand Obama 2012 - The I in Team!
But Desiree Rogers, the first African-American to become the White House Social Secretary, has been dissed.
◆Translation: Rogers has not been invited to the backyard Kenwood wedding this weekend for the daughter of the ultimate White House insider/Rogers’ former “closer-than-glue” best friend, White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett.
It is said to be a Hyde Park backyard affair, which in my experience tends to be about as fun and friendly as a Cash-bar Quaker Rage Encounter Group. I expect that Val will have pairs of Mormon Missionaries on the stools of the dunk tanks and MSNBC anchors blowing balloon animals for the kids.
Desiree will more than likely go to Millennium Park for the free concert on Saturday*. I'm going to soak up some Liszt, Schuman, Handel and Gandolfini - no not the guy from the Sopranos. Poor Desiree. I picture Ms. Rogers wearing her dependable yellow Wellingtons from her Peoples Gas days, walking sadly but stoically smiling above an elegant outfit and them knock-out Peoples Gas yellow-rubber boots strolling between blankets and porto-lounger chairs in a vain attempt to coax an invitation to join a parliament of culture vultures like me and my pals for some Triscuits, olive loaf and Velveeta Cubes washed down with chilled Country Club Malt Liquor. Brand Hickey is welcoming, but certainly not presumptuous.
Remember these two scamps and vamps? No longer BFFes.
Desiree minted Brand Obama and Brand Obama turned around and smelted** Desiree out of the Obama (MY) White House. Well she most be in pain over the slights to her efforts, but Desiree will never be caught dumpster diving. She's fine - CEO Will Travel and Has Traveled.
President Obama of Brand Obama calls it his White House. What happened to that lefty Peoples White House, or was it Some Peoples White House?
I have never really cottoned to Barack Obama, though we have met more than a few times. I have been always 'underwhelmed' by the gent. Nice guy. There's millions of nice guys. He never struck me as an intellectual titan and reminded me of Flounder in movie Animal House -
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_UpFqL8hkwE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>iframe>
As a State Senator, about 2003, I quess, I had to squire Mr. Obama to the ring in order to present trophies to two boxers. State Rep. Kevin McCarthy Leo '68) presented the previous bout's awards. The future White House occupant, Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Chief Executive asked me upon approaching the square ring, "Where's the gate?"
Between the ropes Senator. Smartest guy in them shoes! Kevin McCarthy, and eight other VIPS as well as sixteen boxers had climbed through the ropes previously. I do pick a nit.
Well that's just pee in the Wheaties, as they say.
I have the same job I had when President Obama was stamping his name on Woods Fund and Annenberg Challenge stationary under the watchful eye of Billy Ayers, when lost both cheeks of his ass to Bobby Rush, when he was wedged in as State Senator and smoothed over Danny Hynes for U.S. Senator, when he eclipsed the then very tubby Jesse Jackson Junior at John Kerry's Run- DNC Convention, when he won the Presidency over John McCain, whom I backed- more fool me - and when he took the oath of Office and launched Desiree Rogers' Brand Obama. Yep, much work to be done for Leo High School.
Brand Obama 2012 has no room for Desiree Rogers. That seems just mean. Barred from a backyard fete in Hyde Park. Well, if I see her wandering around Millennium on Saturday night, I offer the poor thing a some olive loaf/Velveeta canapes and a frosty can of Country Club ML. (Note to Steve Jordan - DO NOT get Mickey's Big Mouths - get the Country Club - it matters)
So long as Barack "Where's the Gate?" Obama is my Commander in Chief, he can determine whom one should and may invite to any Hyde Park Hootenanny. It is His White House.

Roofer & Philosopher Eddie Carroll on Chinese Astronaut Babes
As I pulled into my drive-way on 108th Street at Rockwell, I spied a neighborhood icon starring up at my roof. It was none other than Eddie Carroll, President and CEO of Carroll Roofing -'Old World Craftsmanship - We hire Only DPs from Eastern Europe and pass the savings on to you.'
Roofing Contractor Eddie Carroll, as readers of this Blog (Seb Costin and Aunt Aurelia) will recall, is a Morgan Park father-figure, accomplished but always discreet sexual swordsman, wit and master of disguises. Eddie eyes scanned sky-ward and peripheral vision took in my approach signalled by a beckoning arm.
" You have some pinched tiles up there, Patrick My Boy; when did you last have your home shingled?"
2000, Eddie.
" I need not ask who did your work as it is as plain as the nose on a homely Serbian girl's face. It is clear that you did not engage Carroll Roofing and Construction"
As you might recall when I tried to engage you at that time, you indicated that your charitable work with Air Icelandic took up far too much your time.
" Spot on, Patrick! Sorry for my pique. Those poor girls at least had a place to hang their natty-flight caps after long, tiring and lonesome flights from Reykjavik to O'Hare. Carroll House was more than a home to those blue-eyed and shapely waifs, it was welcome, warmth and one hell of a workout. The funding ran-out quicker than some of the more timid stewardesses, thanks to the Bush Economy inherited by My President."
'Tis so.How long before I need a cover? The last one was a tear off.
" It was a rip-off you mean. That roof should have been good until 2015 - honor bright. Let me quote you and I'll stick it in your mail box by the end of the week. Your children sleep beneath this shoddy work. Skimp not, as a father."
Eddie never once took his eyes off of the roof but they now elevated towards the heavens.
" Heaven is our destination, whether we gain entry or not is up to what we do here on earth. I do what I can and certainly know that you do the same given the work that you and Dan do for the young gents at Leo. We are all too often our own worst enemies, Patrick. Sin begets sin and we must always be aware that sin is what it is and not something else."
How do you mean?
"At the height of the Spanish Civil War, Time Magazine asked Pope Pius XI what was the greatest threat to the church - Soviet or Fascist ideology. Time always a rabid anti-Catholic rag like the Chicago Tribune attempted to play the pharisee to the Pope -Vicar of Christ. His Holiness confounded the sneaks and said 'The Church’s worst persecutors have been her own unfaithful bishops, priests, and religious. Opposition from outside is terrible; it gives us many martyrs. But the Church’s worst enemy is her own traitors.'
"You see? Sin takes no sides. We like to believe that while we sin we are somehow doing good. Chesterton remarked to a similar sneaky question posed him when he was welcomed into the Faith - Why are you becoming Catholic? The rotund wag rejoined, 'Why to have my sins forgiven.' It is only through the Mystical Body of Christ that sin may be forgiven. Sin is not expunged by a committee of nuns, or some guy named Sister Farley with a best seller about Catholics and Sex; Oh, no my friend. The Church is as fixed in its doctrines as your roof will be."
I see that you have read Father Schall's latest piece from The Catholic Thing! And these observations -roofing, the heavens and sin - will be merged shortly?
Look heaven-ward, Patrick - I never miss that Jesuit's insights -beyond your roof. Heaven is fixed -our destination. Shortly two Chinese fighter pilots sans the old marriage tackle* will fight gravity and ascend to the Empyrean. I recall reading as a young lad in the barber shop over by Damen - Casey's about Chinese Babes who were Commie Jet Jockeys in Korea. . . .
These Mig Maids went against our John Glenns and Ted Williams in Sabers over the Yalu River. I believe it was Argosy, True Men, Flame or some other testosterone fueled periodical - while getting clipped and butch-waxed that lit my loins on this issue of preter- feminisim. Babe Jet Jockeys and Asian Babes to boot.
Often the white male's burden.
" I have sampled the Asian buffet, beyond the fine fare at Chi Tung over on Kedzie, my boy. I am fully delighted to see that Red China is meeting the template of Korean era combat yet again. Have you seen the two babes selected to Red Star Voyage?"
I have not.
"Mine is pretty nice, but your's . . .is probably a damn fine pilot."
With that his neck and head returned to the concrete and clay of our lives.
" I'll get that estimate to you by Friday."
I am awed on a daily basis.
*One of two female fighter pilots will become the first Chinese woman inspace later this month, after the two were shortlisted for a place in the three-person team that will blast off in the Shenzhou-9 spacecraft, the state news agency Xinhua said.
Chinese media described Major Liu Yang, from Henan, as a "hero pilot" who achieved a successful emergency landing after a dramatic birdstrike incident spattered the windshield of her plane with blood.
Meanwhile, her rival, Captain Wang Yaping, from Shandong, is said to have flown rescue missions during the Sichuan earthquake and piloted a cloud-seeding plane to help clear the skies of rain for the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
"They are selected as members of the first batch of female astronauts inChina because of their excellent flight skills and psychological quality," said Xinhua.

More David Bromberg And Our World Might Make Sense
In last twenty minutes or so, have I mentioned that I play guitar?, or that I did. My Gibson J-45 is now in the possession of fruit of my loins. I played 5-string banjo and it rests next to my bed.
My stubby digits no longer pluck and plunder the quiet of God's Vale of Sweetness - Praise Him!
I bow to my betters in all things. David Bromberg stands tall on Guit-box Olympus!
Witness! HebrewCelt!
A man of sense!
And one that really speaks to the authentic male - the human being with marinara- stained fashion wear, no loss for words after nine cans of Huber, or bear-trap memory when called at the bar! " Your eight year old son is and has been waiting for you at Kennedy Park - Baseball practice ended at three and it is now 4:30!"
( prgenant pause) and bluster! . . .Go, Man go!
He's fine it's a park, for Crissakes! I'm on my way! Honey, I picked up those flat-bread crackers tha. . . you (CLICK!) like. . .gotta go!
Have mentioned that I write?

The Hickey Challenge - Argue with This!
I feel twenty years younger! Then I climb the stairs at Leo. People value my opinion, in the same way one turns to cannibalism when their plane crashes in the Andes, enjoy three hour hospital visits from septuagenarian Blue Army of Mary Captain Maiden Aunt Gert every day, while trying to heal in a full body cast.
I have been told,
"You're full of #$%^!" - Mayhaps." You think alot of yourself" If not me, whom? You'm? Think again.
" You're out of your depth!" - Nevertheless, I tread like Michael Flatley dropped in the Marianas Trench
" You're a hack!" - Only when Mammon tickles my hollow palm
Acknowledging my all-too-human demerits, Argue with this!
Yet again, I posit!
Quod Erat Demonstrandum!

Illinois McDonough Contract - The Progressive Random Purg
"The actions being taken against McDonough grew out of a random audit of McDonough last year in which officials examined a wide range of state engineering contracts the firm won between 2000 and 2009."
Some one in Governor Pat Quinn's Illinois Government decided to randomly examine McDonough Construction.
I wouldn't know James McDonough ,if he walked on me.
I have heard about the generous gifts showered on hospitals, universities, charities and especially St, Xavier University and St. Ignatius.
Mr. McDonough is one of the successful people that Directors of Development want to address as "Jim" after months of cultivation, golf, lunch and moist kisses to the McDonough rump and pry open the family wallet.
I do that, but I do not golf, tend to eat with gusto sans conversation until perspiring and then tend to pick my aging teeth and pucker-up only to secretaries, as they are the genuine engines of power in all matters of corporate citizenship. The less time a Seven Figure and Change Prospect spends face-to-face with Patrick Francis, the more that person is inclined to write a husky check for benefit of Leo High School. Make the case, present the documentation and make yourself scarce are the three legs of Hickey's Development Tripod.
Common sense also dictates - never rub another man's rhubarb - Don't Poach Prospects Not Your Own.
James McDonough has never heard his executive secretary say, " A Pat Hickey from Leo High School keeps calling and sending drawings by him of happy students at Leo who would have bigger smiles, if you send lots of money. Do you want to talk with him? Jim O'Connor* said he is harmless. Okay, I'll tell him to . . . what is it he should do with himself?"
Mark Brown wrote a very balanced assessment of the ritual throat-cutting, in my estimation, of James McDonough in today's Sun Times. Mark Brown's commentary follows the fine investigative report by Chris Fusco and Tina Sfondeles that detailed to State of Illinois cast breadcrumbs leading to James McDonough. The Master-key word in this report is "random."
If allowed to stand, the cascading effect of the contract bans threatens the very existence of the firm, which is expected to go to court to challenge the state’s ruling.
Now, you may have noticed from time to time that newspapers will hype a story just a bit to get your attention.
Well, this is the flip side of that coin: a story so significant we can hardly put it in proper perspective in the space allotted.
McDonough and his company have been a major part of the fabric of this city and its politics for more than four decades since he left a post as Streets and Sanitation commissioner under Mayor Richard J. Daley to enter the engineering world in 1974. . . . In short, McDonough is a major player to be wiped off the board so suddenly, not that there won’t be any number of engineering firms vying to replace his company.Mark Brown Chicago Sun Times ( emphasis my own)
Mark Brown's nose smells blood in this random throat-cutting of McDonough. I have seen this movie many times before - follow the bones to Dawn Clark Netsch. Mike Quigley, Forrest Claypool, Toni Preckwinkle. Jan Shakowsky, or Pat Quinn and you will be able to construct the dinosaurs tossed in the tar-pits.
Nothing is random - especially any full blown departmental forensic audit of a random cash cow.
n.b. -
John Carroll University Receives
$1 Million Gift from Chicago Couple
I mentioned only Mr. McDonough's philanthropic gifts, because like any person in Chicago with two nickels to rub together Clan McDonough is politically taxed by all and sundry.
Are there any random audits of Personal Pac associated gifters and captains of industry? Cable News? Print Media? Advocacy Industrialists?
Governor Pat Quinn does not exercise his sphincter without the say-so of Terry Cosgrove, e.g. No random eructations for sensible Pat, let alone bill support and signage, or the random forensic audit of traditional political ally of the Old Guard.
From the slightly cracked steps of my front poarch, it looks like Old Time and Dependable funding-sources to Old Guard Democrats are being purged by the Personal PAC, Abortion, Gay Marriage Progressives funded by people who do not give to schools, hospitals and charities linked to a Saint's name. Fred Eychaner comes to mind. I am sure that Pat Quinn and Dick Durbin have spilled more than a few fun-toddies and flat-breads heaped with caviar on Fred's carpets and couches.
Why? Power needs to be demonstrated. Nothing says power, like the very public execution of the powerful to signal the purges to come. Play nice with a Progressive if you must, but expect to be kicked to death with a random act of kindness and show of Good Government.
Read and follow -Mark Brown and the Sun Times investigative team on this purge and the death by of thousand cuts awaiting Mr. McDonough.
* Jim O'Connor - St. Ignatius graduate, philanthropist founding member of The Big Shoulders Fund and gentleman to the backbone. No doubt Jame McDonough is as good a man as Mr. O'Connor and I imagine the polar opposite of a Governor Pat Quinn.

Why Vie, Guy? Fie! Cops Got Authoritie!, Know Why? Try
Gary, a current guest of CPD, has a noggin on him like a Weber Kettle
Gary C. Wagaman / Photo provided by Chicago police.
The Chicago Sun Times is blessed with very fine reporters. Goofs on the editorial board to be sure and more than a fistful of fatuous ninies spinning columns, but the reports are the silk!
Whoever covered the protest arrests of Occupy kittens and the skillet tossing goof above in the photo - looks like an a escapee from a Campbell's Soup Kids audition, young Trotsky be - my compliments.
In this particular story,the unnamed reporter captured the pretentious pleonasms and skewed rhetoric infecting the speech patterns of children from Evanston's Public schools - home to its Classic Comics Curricula.
Five Chicago Police Officers were injured in a post-NATO encounter with America's VISA/Mastercard & bail -ready armed youth.
A kid with a head the size of Weber Kettle, to quote Terry McEldowney, tossed a frying pan at a police officer.Arrests were made.DHAN- DUn Dun -Dhan-Duh -Dun-Dhahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! ( think Jack Webb)
Chicago Police arrest people who violate the laws and ordinances of City of Chicago in order to Serve and Protect.
An Evanston educated youth offered this brutal assessment -“We were vying for the street when they started pushing us over the curb and pushing us down,” said Daniel Goering, 18, of Evanston. “Arrests started happening and everything got tense." Daniel Goering, 18 of Evanston.
"We were vying for the street" - We? Occupiers? Occupiers and Police Together?
"WHEN THEY started pushing us over the curb and pushing us down" - Please do vizualize this epic cascade of young, vigorous and earnest Urban Mutineers being forced by phalanx of Chicago Centurions over and down the standard 6" of a Chicago curb*. The Horror!!!!!!!
"Arrests started happening. . ." Is there no limit to the instrusion of Passive Voice in PC Evanston?????? . . .and everything got tense."
Got? Nemo dat what you ain't got there, Danny Boy! Am I given to understand that "things" only were tense, once arrests were made, or had there been some element of tension during the VIE for the street. FVI -Nemo dat Quod Non Habet - One can not give what one does not possess.
Vie is a Old French in its etymology ( where words got started for Evanstonians) and means to invite.Now it means to compete in a fair and friendly competition.
The Chicago Sun Times reporter fully understood the inarticulate Mr. Goering and "quoted his vying" words and meaning.
I am never bored.

*In Chicago, the standard curb and gutter used is the BV.12 (Type 3 Curb), a variation on
a common B6.12 curb and gutter design used in Illinois. The design provides a variable
height barrier curb between 3 inches and 9 inches, as opposed to a constant 6-inch curb
height, with a 12-inch gutter flag. The width of the top of curb is 0.5 feet for planning
purposes.

Hear you this Triton of the minnows ? mark you (HHS) "absolute shall ?" - Shakepeare Coriolanus ( bowdlerization my own)
In some countries, you fatuous ninny Kathleen? Let's talk about January 2012 right here in the old Land of Free and the Home of the Brave.
\
Collectively, Catholic organizations provide services to more Americans than any other entity except the federal government itself. Its 600 health care institutions, for example, provide care to one in six patients treated in the United States every year. Catholic schools provide education to millions of elementary and secondary school children, while more than a million students attend the nation's 200 Catholic colleges and universities. And it is this very ubiquity that is the real target of the anti-conscience mandate. The "fundamental transformation" Obama and his accomplices wish to inflict upon America can't be managed while large, autonomous institutions like the Catholic Church and its charitable organizations remain in place.A Catholic belongs to the Catholic Church because of faith in the Church as the Body of Christ. A "Cultural Catholic" is an art lover. A Progressive Catholic is a politician. Catholics are Democrats, Republicans and Americans.
I am what might more accurately be called a 'bad' Catholic. If I miss Mass it is not because I have fundamental objection to the all-too-humanly-flawed celibate patriarchy that protects the Church's Magisterium* ( bishops and stiff-collars), it because I did not drag my lazy-ass to Church. If you belong to the club, go to the meetings. It is that fundamentally simple.
My liberty to exercise my faith is challenged by the current occupant of the White House and the folks who give him his marching orders -Planned Parenthood, NOW, the DNC, SEIU, General Electric, Hollywood & etc.
I will exercise my Rights at Federal Plaza tomorrow at noon in Chicago Federal Plaza** with thousands of my co-coreligionists, neighbors and friends. I will go to Confession for my parade of sins. I will get my ass to Mass. I will vote against the people who want to end my liberty.
* "The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him."
**Chicago, Ill., Jun 5, 2012 / 02:26 am (CNA/EWTN News).- On June 8, Stand Up For Religious Freedom will hold its second round of national protests against the contraception mandate, continuing the movement that drew tens of thousands of protesters in March.

Real Labor - The Skilled Trades and Private Sector Unions - Betrayed
THE WIN BY GOVERNOR SCOTT WALKER YESTERDAY SHOULD BE STUDIED BY REAL LABOR WITH A HARD EXAMINATION OF S.E.I.U. AND ITS GROWTH AS A PAC BEGINNING IN THE 1970'S, THROUGH THE RISE OF JOHN SWEENEY (SEIU) AS HEAD OF THE AFL-CIO AND ANDY STERN'S COUP.

Why Labor Will Lose in Wisconsin
American workers are the best. American labor made the standard of living that is being eroded by people who want the American middle class to disappear.
The issue in Wisconsin will not end well for organized labor. The skilled and industrial trades, in my simple opinion, made a pact with the devil by siding with public sector unions ( PACs in reality) and allowing the likes of Andy Stern to hijack not only the voice of labor, but the very meaning of the word.
Taxes and the salaries of public sector unions are paid by electricians, carpenters, millwrights, pipe-fitters, plumbers, auto workers, steel workers, engineers and industrial workers. These folks are American labor.
Here is the face of labor -hijacked labor - in 2011.
