Gov. Quinn gives raises to staff averaging 11.4 percent :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Politics


This is just dumber then a bag of hammers. I am certainly coming to think that some people just don't think, regardless of the level of education received.

In another just dumb and proud of it moment, Mark Kirk made a feeble attempt at trying to slam his opponent for "Not Paying Taxes"! Guess he should have took the time to read the article. His opponent received a "Refund". That's how the tax system works. Anyway, that still doesn't take away the meat-head move this Governor made. You do not pass out pay raises when your budget is strapped for cash.

There you go folks, two imbeciles, just dumber then a bag of hammers.

With the city always crying broke, have you ever wondered where does that money go? Is it split between the State, City, and Federal system? If the bust happens in the city does it keep the money? And if so, what do they do with it?

We know the dope gets burned. But how is that money dealt with? Will the Mayor put some of it back into the "Missing" Tax Increment Fund (TIF)? Will some of it go to Chicago Public Schools? More then likely it will wind up in somebody's pocket. There is very little trust in this Mayor.

Since you have stepped into the digital age Mayor, how about posting where this money goes? The public has a strong right to know. Show us the money.

I'm sticking with my prediction. How about Those Raptors? Playing the old "we are not interested routine" unless we get a quality player and cash for Bosh? Now seriously, who else would the Bulls give up for this guy? Deng? The fans would go nuts.

The next few days will reveal all for the parties interested. Just look for movement by these players, and management. Should another meeting take place by Wednesday, one could pretty much guess what team these free agents will probably end up.

Just for the record, in my opinion, elected officials should be the ones stepping up and take a pay-cut.

For all those that still think King James is coming here, Don't hold your breath.

Enough of politics for the moment. This free agency round is sure to get some heads spinning. Here's my prediction for King James. He'll either stay in Cleveland, or go to New York.

Happy Independence Day.

City Council passes Daley gun restrictions 45-0

City Council passes Daley gun restrictions 45-0

Well the sheep (city council) fell in line with the King once again. No amendments exempting active duty, and veteran members of the Armed Forces from attending firearms classes. What an insult.

It should come as no surprise the city council would move on this ordinance as their King commanded. They have no spine whatsoever. The sad part about them, is that they, just like the King, don't care about the burden taxpayers face from a fresh round of lawsuits that will come from this super hasty passage. A perfect example is the fact no person has to undergo "Training", when purchasing a rifle or shotgun. All you had to do was go register the thing. So what will they do now? Slap that one omission within the ordinance? And why do we have to go "Outside" the city, pay money to another town, or village? Talk about "Unreasonable".

Have you ever wondered why so few city council members run for Mayor of this city? Why should they? They never initiate anything. Well, the only exception is the alderman that put his foot down and got his Wal Mart. But other then that, all they do is suck up our taxpayer funds, and do what the King tells them un-questioned.

One would think these elected lackeys would at the very least, have the intelligence to look out for members of the Armed Forces. Yet after reading the article, not one of them broached the subject, nor offered an amendment. They just went right along with what their King commanded, no questions asked. What a disservice to the members of the best highly trained people on the planet.

Daley unveils gun control plan

Daley unveils gun control plan


Well here's his plan, and already it has one major flaw. You can buy a rifle, or shotgun, or both, and do not, I repeat, do not have too take training classes, or range training.

Somehow I knew this guy would screw it up. That one little flaw will once again open the door to lawsuits. Let's hope the police, and fire council will fix that. On another note, he obviously forgot about active duty, and veterans when it comes to this "classroom and range training". Does this mayor have something against the military? Doesn't, or does his own son serve or served? Again I call on the city to "Exempt" active duty and veterans from this insult.

Look Mayor, don't become the Mitch McConnell of Chicago and spit in the military's face. I hope you are aware of what that sleaze did? If not, he blocked funding for "Homeless veterans and their families".

Police and Fire committees, exempt active duty, and veterans from this insult.
