7 arrested, cops injured after 100-person street fight :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime
Wow! Note for parents. Time to talk, or throw your kids under the bus. 1:45 in the morning, kids are running amuck in the streets. Sure those that are 20 and 21 can basically hang-out. But one has to take into account what is in that area, that produced such a turn-out? The crazy part about this article, no guns.
Parents, it's time for you to take control. If they are 21, tell them to hit the bricks. If they are under 21, put the hammer down. If they don't like it, show them the door, or their next future behind prison bars. Like this 18 year old dummy.

Furloughed Ford workers get dibs on jobs :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Business
Hey, like I said yesterday, something is still better than nothing. Just do the math. If 600 laid-off workers return, there still will be a need for others too fill the void. Some of those 600 may have left for better opportunities, or retired. So when the application process begins, throw your hat into the ring.

Getting to the bottom of 'Jeans Day' hubbub :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Election 2010
Blatant stupidity is by far, the best way of describing some of these elected officials we have here in Chicago. Will someone please tell me why these highly educated dimwits, refuse to accept the fact that if something shady is afoot, people will tell.
Is it really so much to ask, or inform, that all monies will go to such and such a charity? Or better still, let's run this by the Inspector General's office for an okay? You just can't make up how stupid and arrogant this is. I just hope the college this low-lit bulb went too isn't advertising on television. The really sad part about all this, is the employee's that went along with it, without asking for a vote on which charity should receive the funds. It kind of makes one wonder, what school they attended also?
Memo for all incumbents: Does Massachusetts ring a bell? It doesn't matter if the voter is independent, democratic, or republican. They are all sick of your entrenched ways. They will do one thing. They will vote for the person that vows to seriously clean-up government. Especially after what the "Entrenched" Supreme Court did.
Get a clue, and some common-sense. It doesn't cost a thing.

The Hits Just Keep Coming
What a total Hypocrite. So this is what they mean by "Taking The Country Back"?
Tea Party Leader Busted For Child Rape, Found With Grenade Launcher Former USMC Sgt. Charles Dyer is the organizer of a Tea Party offshoot called the Oath Keepers, a group dedicated to recruiting military personnel into the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. Dyer works as a liaison between militia groups and the Tea Party and last year spoke at a Tea Party rally in Oklahoma. On Tuesday, Dyer was arrested for the rape of a 7 year-old girl. During his arrest, police found a grenade launcher in his home. Charles Alan Dyer, 29, of Marlow, was arrested Tuesday afternoon by Stephens County Sheriff’s deputies, said Sheriff Wayne McKinney. Dyer served in the United States Marines in Iraq. McKinney said charges included first degree rape and two counts of forcible sodomy. It is expected the charges will be formally presented in Stephens County District Court today, McKinney said. “These are what we are asking for through the District Attorney’s office,� McKinney said. The investigation began after the last alleged incident that was said to have taken place Jan. 2, at Dyer’s residence on Hope Road near Marlow. |
Supreme Court rolls back campaign spending limits :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Nation
Supreme Court rolls back campaign spending limits :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Nation
Well this is what happens when rich people appoint judges that never will share the concerns of the "Common People". The "Conservative Wing" of the Supreme Court just told the individual voter, money rules, and you don't.
How can anyone fight the money, lawyers, and power of corporations now. This ruling will only have more and more politicians flocking to corporations, seeking funds from them, because the people they are supposed to represent, can't afford them anymore. Now we can expect more legislation written by corporations to squeeze us even more. Hell, just look at what corporations have done too the "Tea-Bag", oops sorry, Tea-Party movement. They took them over and left the ones that actually wanted to cut spending, out in the cold. Don't worry about the racist elements of the tea-baggers, sorry again, meant, well, you know, they were already on the outs.
This ruling is an abomination. It stacks the deck against the individual voter. Any candidate we deem fit, or qualified for office, will have to endure the offerings of big corporations too cut our collective knees out from under us. The Supreme Court is supposed to uphold the law, and strike down any other laws, or legislation deemed unconstitutional. This ruling does not serve the interest of the individual voter, and therefore unconstitutional. Corporations are not, and never will be, Human. They are monsters created to destroy individualism, and free will. They have shipped our jobs overseas. They have virtually contaminated our food and water. Ask yourself how we went from an industrial powerhouse, to the "Fattest Nation" on earth? Corporations, that's how. With their, eat this, and buy this policy, we sat back and let them put is in a coma.
It's time to wake up America. We need a Constitutional Convention, and take back this power we gave too our court. A lifetime appointment only corrupts. That is too much power for a select few, that can control the lives of millions. This ruling is a direct slap in the face of Americans. Slap? I should have said spat, because that is a better term for what they did. They just blew chunks on us all.

Fixed schools fail :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Education
Fixed schools fail :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Education
I don't know about the rest of you, but this looks like a good opportunity for some reporters to get out and talk to the students. This is the only sure-fire way to really find out why these schools are doing so bad. Each and every time, it's the adults running the schools, that come up with moving, or closing schools, as a means of fixing the problem, without any input from the kids that actually go there.
How would they know what the root cause of the problem is, when they don't even darken the doors of these "failed, or failing schools". Just from reading the article, you get the impression all they do is sit on their collective backsides and read "test scores". The school superintendent doesn't "Know Everything". He/she may have specialized in a particular field of study, not an entire curriculum students must endure. There must be people at the Board of Education that specialize in each area of study? So would it not be a good idea to send them out to failing schools and get some "boots on the ground" feedback?
That sounds like a sure fire way to see if it's a teaching, curriculum, or student problem. Or all combined.
Just a thought.

Just from reading the article, you get the impression all they do is sit on their collective backsides and read "test scores". The school superintendent doesn't "Know Everything". He/she may have specialized in a particular field of study, not an entire curriculum students must endure. There must be people at the Board of Education that specialize in each area of study? So would it not be a good idea to send them out to failing schools and get some "boots on the ground" feedback?
That sounds like a sure fire way to see if it's a teaching, curriculum, or student problem. Or all combined.
Just a thought.

Chicago landlord suing former Cub Milton Bradley :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State
Christ almighty. This guy is a total tool. What a titty-baby. Nobody likes me, so I'll bail on my rent and leave town. You know, if the Cubs have any extra millions laying around, they should hire me as the team Asshole. Picture me holding a press conference, telling reporters to stick it, get bent, and eat my shorts. Ha.
Milton Bradley, grow up.

Only when they get busted, they fake "Outrage". Common sense would have told him, making so much money on the taxpayers dime, and having two vehicles was not a responsible, fiscally sound thing to do in these current economic situations.
The lesson once again, "Greed knows no Bounds". $200,000 grand a year. Buy your own vehicle. That way you might not layoff so many teachers, and truant officers. Which by the way, has anyone seen a truant officer in a neighborhood? Oh that's right, we got rid of them to pay for executive salaries at ridiculous prices. Every time a department head, alderman/woman, vote themselves a pay raise, someone has too get laid-off. You know, the ones that "Actually" work.

You know what? If this dimwit is smart enough to print so much money, how come he was so dumb as to not know the "History" of the money he was printing?
When was the last time anyone living, seen a $500 bill? Yet I guess the bigger question that remains, is how long has he gotten away with it? Well if anything, the lesson here folks, greed knows no bounds. As one can see, this dimwit printed $66 million and that wasn't enough. He just had to get greedier, and greedier, and printed a bill that is no longer in circulation.
Dumb-ass.

CPS' Project Protection: Hire citizen safety patrols :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Education
Well, that's one way of making "out-of-work" parents responsible for youth in communities around Chicago. On the other hand, you still have those parents, that may, or may not have a blemish on their respective backgrounds. You know, like a misdemeanor, or God forbid, a felony. One thing you can bet on, those kids that haven't returned too school, may be mired in the distribution of drugs, or have just simply given up all hope of living a "Normal Life" without fear of being recruited, or beaten by gangs.
Other then that, I hope this project works, and shows impressive results.

GOP: Response to Reid remark shows Dems' racial double standard :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Politics
Will someone please donate a brain to the GOP. If it's a "double-standard, why does Rush and Beck still have a job? Why does Congressman "You Lie" still have a job? And last but not least, why are we even bothering hearing what the Party of No has to say anyway?
Once again the GOP proves to the nation that a "Mind is a Terrible thing to Waste". I didn't hear Reid yearn back to the days of segregation, like oh, Trent Lott. Reid doesn't play Barack the Magic Negro on his radio show either. And Reid certainly didn't call the president a liar, proclaim to "Waterloo" his presidency, or call him a racist on a "Fake News Show".
It's obvious that honesty isn't the best policy when it comes to the GOP. Teabag on GOP. That's all you have besides no clue, and no ideas.

Stop it. Just stop it. Now we know why this city has budget problems. If pulling in over 230,000 grand isn't enough to buy your own vehicle, something is very wrong. I can see the city paying for a driver, but auto's that you can afford is beyond selfish, and stupid.

The New York Times reports that one of the main suppliers of processed beef filler to fast food restaurants like McDonald's and Burger King -- not to mention school lunch and grocery store meat -- had been using ammonia as a means of killing E. coli O157:H7 and salmonella.
Yes. Ammonia.
Years ago, the supplier, Beef Products Inc., figured out a way to process and treat the inedible bits from the carcass -- bits that "typically include most of the material from the outer surfaces of the carcass," the article reports. The processed filler, when mixed into ground beef, is intended to reduce the cost of beef and thus boost profit margins.
However, a considerable amount of dangerous bacteria like salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 is present in the "outer surfaces" such as the skin itself. So Beef Products began to blast its filler product with ammonia to kill the bacteria. Ammonia.
And they're still doing it.
The only problem was that it tasted terrible, so they apparently began to use less ammonia.
Meanwhile the USDA exempted Beef Products filler from inspection, since the ammonia would do the trick. Do you see where this is headed?
Less ammonia but the same amount of filler means increased traces of pathogens in beef samples -- a result that was confirmed by school lunch officials and the New York Times. In other words, too much ammonia and pH levels are too high and the filler is inedible. Not enough and it doesn't kill the pathogens. But either way, the beef still deliberately contains ammonia.
Again, this is beef filler that's used in school lunches and the most popular fast food chains in America. As recently as 2004, school lunch beef contained as much as 15% of this ammonia-treated filler as a means of saving a whole three cents per pound.
On several occasions, school lunch officials have suspended the use of Beef Products filler. But only temporarily due to bacteria contamination and not because of ammonia, pH or alkalinity levels. Meanwhile, fast food and grocery store beef continues to contain Beef Products' ammonia-doused processed whatever.
You won't find ammonia listed on any labels, by the way, so don't bother looking. Long ago, the government acquiesced to Beef Products' request that the ammonia treatment be categorized as a "processing agent" so it doesn't appear on any consumer labeling.
UPDATE: Here's a clip from the documentary Food Inc. about Beef Products Inc.'s ammonia cleansing process.
I'll have a burger and fries with everything -- hold the ammonia

Not at all surprised about this story. The stunning comments left by the readers is what really boggles the mind. While reading them all, only one made the most sense. The rest, was nothing but racist dribble. How quickly these people forget about the Columbine murders, and the racial makeup of those two repugnant criminals.
Anyway I digress. Here's the comment that really made any sense. I do hope this Mayor bothers too read it also.
"This is a fine example of why parents need to be held to account. Being the child is only 12 years old and his nuts have not even dropped yet, I would let the child go and charge the parents for this possession of a handgun. When we start to charge parents with these crimes, I will bet they start to teach a few life lessons and actually care for their child. You would probably see a real drop in crime then".

This is beyond stupid, and totally insane.

Police and Fireman all over this country can't get a raise, you can include Teachers in the mix also. You hear this constant blubbering from politicians, that they just don't have the funds to implement this program or that. Yet they somehow seem to find money for stupid, moronic, crap like this. Memo for Mayor Daley. That Olympic money (Courtesy of the Tax-Payer), was also non-refundable. It makes you wonder if New York's parking rates went up just to fund this bull.

Yes, a mind is a terrible thing to waste. In the case of these moron's, it's a damn shame. I take it they don't read newspapers, or watch news programs. It's too late to inform them that "Times Have Changed", and even if you did, they probably would not believe you.
I can think back when the city first installed these camera's on major intersections, and some moronic dumb-ass opined, "They just put them there to try and scare us". Haven't seen that idiot lately, must be locked-up.
Oh well. Fixing stupid continues, as the dumb-asses keep getting dumber, and dumber.

Under The Radar
Here's a story flying under the radar:
Report: Arenas, Crittenton Pull Guns on Each Other
Jan 1, 9:34 AM (ET)
Email this Story
NEW YORK (AP) -Washington Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton drew guns on each other during a Christmas Eve locker room argument over a gambling debt, according to The New York Post. Citing an anonymous source, the newspaper reports in Friday's edition that the standoff was sparked when Crittenton became angry at Arenas for refusing to make good on a gambling debt. That prompted Arenas to draw on Crittenton, who then also grabbed for a gun, league security sources tell the Post.
Asked by the Post about the confrontation, Arenas denied pulling a gun on Crittenton.
"This is unprecedented in the history of sports," Billy Hunter, executive director of the Player's Association, tells the Post. "I've never heard of players pulling guns on each other in a locker room."
The Wizards said on the night of Dec. 24 that Arenas had stored unloaded firearms in a container in his locker at the arena and that the NBA was looking into the situation. On Tuesday, Washington, D.C. police said they were investigating a report that weapons were found inside a locker room at the Verizon Center.
Now, the federal government is also involved. Ben Friedman, a spokesman for the US Attorney's Office in DC, tells the Post "we're working with the Metropolitan Police Department on the investigation."
