What do you think Americans would say if they learned that while Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were fighting for their lives atop the US Consulate in Benghazi, that their President was on the phone with campaign donors, or prepping for his Las Vegas fundraiser the next day. Throughout all the hearings and testimony thus far, the one fact we do know is this, not | Read More »
The night we’ve all been waiting for, all of us, that is, for whom this election’s outcome meets the criteria of a “matter of life or death.” With all the run-up to the debate rhetoric of what Romney must do, the question now turns more to the debate itself and its aftermath, courtesy of the Thursday morning quarterbacks. Between the released 2007 film of | Read More »
After the last several days of major damage control efforts by the Obama administration concerning the murders of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans at the US Consulate in Benghazi, the law of karma has finally found Hillary Clinton. From the time she spoke as valedictorian at Wellesley College in 1969, Hillary Clinton’s ultimate goal was to be the first female President of | Read More »
Hypocrisy is alive and well and living in Chicago, especially found within the corridors of the fifth floor of City Hall, the Chicago Police Dept HQ on State Street, and the editorial offices of the Chicago media chieftains and op-ed writers. The media is reporting the investigation of more flash mob attacks in the Near North/River North area of Chicago, but yet not one word | Read More »
It’s been out in the press lately that the President’s re-election campaign has a new promotion to raise money. In addition to tapping the Hollywood set, the Fashionistas, and now overseas donors, the campaign is showing their common man touch with their Event registry. Do the patriotic thing and forego gift cards and presents for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, bar and bat mitzvahs. Instead, register your | Read More »
I came across this article earlier today regarding Dr. Shakil Afridi (h/t Breitbart.) For those of you not familiar with Dr. Afridi, he helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden. According to different news sources, the doctor was recruited by the CIA to run a vaccination clinic to collect blood samples from the local population, including the inhabitants of the nearby Bin Laden compound, under | Read More »
The age-old proverb, “be care what you wish for, for you may get it” is coming to fruition as the hoped for face-off with Mitt Romney is taking hold. However, the results thus far are not exactly what may have been “wished for.” The West Virginia, Arkansas and Kentucky democratic primaries, with Obama losing 40%+ of the voters in each primary, must have increased the | Read More »
While Rahm, David and Barack congratulate themselves over a successful Summit, the rest of us 99%-ers are recovering. I’m a born and bred Chicagoan still residing in the “land”, and the Rahm-bo version of the “we’re going to keep everyone safe” police state that came along with the Summit didn’t quite appeal to me, or to much of the populace. While the 2012 NATO | Read More »
I remember a time in grammar school where I wasn’t so proud of my ethnic heritage because of, shall we say, a certain person’s poor choice of words and phrases used over-zealously to offend. I bore the brunt of some boorish, nasty ethnic slurs, spoken repeatedly, snarkily. Fast-forward to 2012, and I find it amusing that the misguided zealot is now married to a successful | Read More »
On Friday, March 23, the President made this comment, “All of us have to do some soul searching to figure out how something like this has happened.” And he’s right. Probably one of the few times that I’ll find myself agreeing with Barack Obama. The Trayvon Martin shooting brings back a memory that is still with me to this day. My father had his own | Read More »
