Drive through some of those neighborhoods that you may naturally avoid.  I lived and taught public school in The Springs for a few years.  1 in 3 of my students was Hispanic and 1 in 5 were black.

One concern at the state level is that we have an aggressive federal prosecutor named Patrick Fitzgerald that has been locking them up left and right (pun intended). Both candidates have stated they would not replace or reassign him, but there is at least some concern that Obama might owe a few too many favors to follow through.


We've gotten one here too.

Matter of fact I have a brother in law who is about to start serving two years two little for bribing public officials. (Told the story about this one a while back but this guy has had it comming for a long LONG time)

One of the officials that was involved. Whom I also know personally is about to start serving alot more then that.
Seems when he got caught and the gravy train stopped rolling and he went to jail. His wife decided she wanted a divorce.
So what did he do?
He proved just how much of a piece of watermelon i always knew he was too by trying to hire a hit man (from jail) to bump his wife off.
Problem is. The hit man he tried to hire (from jail) was a government plant.

Now instead of sitting all cozy in the Fed prison for the white collar crime. H'ell be getting to hang out with some good ol boys by the name of Bubba and Jose
Bye bye Richie Kaplan. Sucks to be you.


Problem is with these prosecutors. is they never seem to go after many of the BIG boys.
Oh sure they nab one here and there just to make it look good.
But its really pretty rare.

Rumor has it our guy is going to be running against our wannabe emperor governor next election.

I don't think he's running after he lost the Republican primaries. Bob Barr is running on the Libertarian ticket.

They would have done better digging up Karl Marx.
They didnt dig him up, they found a really bright kid from Hawaii and dressed him in Karls old suit.

Sometimes I wonder if Obama knows whats truly going on......

First of all Dred, Wow, that guy sounds like a tool.

Fitzgerald goes after the big boys. He got the previous Republican Governor, and our current Democratic gov. is, for all intents and purposes known, I believe, as "Person of Interest A." That's why he scares so many politicans in the state from both parties. Fitzgerald is like Elliott Ness, to use a traditional Chicago analogy. They just got Rezko, the big campaign finance guy who aside from his (disturbing but admittedly fairly limited) Obama link is well tied into both Parties. One might assume Fitzgerald will get the current governor Blagovitch but no indictment yet. Maybe just not enough direct evidence, though his wife has had some unusual financial real estate dealings with Rezko and that may be how he insulated himself.

Daley is just too dammed good at it. We've seen probably a half dozen senior Chicago officials go down from various investigations in recent years but never him. He's always "shocked" and "outraged" and "heartfelt" about such a loss of trust...yada yada yada. Daley is insulated probably because he likes power more than wealth. His underlings keep him in power and field the patronage armies that give the machine strength and in return get the kick back deals from the contractors and give the deals to the contractors from all the pork that they get from the state and the federal govt. But they tend to be the ones accepting the envelopes in the restaurant booths and there is never a paper trail linking the end result of the illegal activity (raw political power) to the mayor.

For a real insight into how the Daley machine sausage is made a good site is the Second City Cop blog. Daley is screwing over the CPD big time and there is as much hate for him there as you can find anywhere. http://secondcitycop.blogspot.com/

Of course, according to Daley there is no machine... that's crazy talk! http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2008/09/daley-scoffs-at.html

It's a shame isn't it? Ron Paul is the only one with a bead on what's going on with USA. Everyone else are just riding the fast train, to wherever it's going, and don't care where it's going as long as they got a first class ticket.

There aren't any real americans left any more. Only Republicants and Democraps. They both steer the train to oblivion.
