Bitchy Bimbos "Buzzed Driving" Ads Ruining WLS-AM

If you haven't heard the bitchy bimbos "buzzed driving" PSAs, you obviously haven't been listening to WLS radio.

Ad Council PSA girl Becky gets her arm cracked
due to catty girlfriend's "Buzzed  Driving"

We're talking about the ad where two, genuinely annoying, twenty-something girls, while driving home from a party, bitch about the pick up lines they somehow attracted, the tacky jewelry worn by girls there and life in general.

There can be little wonder as two why these two gems are driving home alone.

But in the course of their catty cacophony, the girl driving, runs head-on into oncoming traffic.

We hear the passenger, one Becky, scream, and then we hear a grotesque cracking of one of her bones.

The driver then apologetically explains that she was only "buzzed", not drunk. So bitchy Becky then sarcastically says that since it was only being "buzzed", it was OK and we hear her bone grotesquely uncrack.

The Ad Council produced this audio atrocity
 US DOT paid for it WLS schedules it - endlessly!

Then the ever-sarcastic, bitchy, Becky says, no - it's not OK -- and we hear her arm grotesquely crack again.

Then a sincere sounding, wimpy, twenty-something, pajama boy's voice ominously instructs us that
buzzed driving is really drunk driving, so don't do it.

Now we don't know about you, but listening to 30 seconds of annoying millennial generation bimbos bitching and bones cracking is not our idea of stellar radio listening.

It's actually repulsive.

All the more so when this ad runs endlessly as it has been for the past few months on Chicago's 50k watt clear-channel WLS-AM.

The frequency of this ad would be laughable if it weren't so blatantly annoying.

On the WLS morning drive Bruce Wolf and Dan Proft show, the bitchy bimbos buzzed driving ad ran no fewer than 5 times last Tuesday. It runs at least 5 to 7 times during every one of Mark Levine's late evening WLS talkathons (one night they ran it back-to back during the same commercial break.) And it runs incessantly at various other times throughout the WLS broadcast day.

We've heard the bitchy buzzed bimbos whining and bone-cracking on WLS as early as 7 AM!!

That doesn't even make sense in terms of effective use of PSA time -- unless WLS figures that a good portion of its aging audience is staggering home then from a night of heavy guzzling at Chicago's bars with 5 AM licenses.

These godawful PSAs are produced by the Ad Council - a compendium of ad agencies who donate their "creative" work. The air time is subsidized by various charities and government agencies (the US DOT commissioned Bitchy Bimbos Buzzed Driving - your tax dollars at work.) The radio stations - at least in the case of WLS - determine when to run the ads.

WLS spokesperson, Kim Rasmussen told the Chicago Lampoon, that even they can't stand the ad, (which was commissioned by the Federal Department of Transportation) and are perplexed as to why it runs on their own station constantly. This despite the fact that WLS, itself, schedules the airtimes and frequency.

"Even we tire of listening to that PSA. We’re trying to get to the bottom of why it is playing so often. I agree that it’s excessive hearing it multiple times per hour." Rasmussen said.

She added that WLS will be working on PSA and Ad spot management in the coming year.

Well, we're delighted to hear that.

Maybe WLS will ameliorate this audio atrocity by deciding, instead, to run that catchy Kars 4 Kids jingle -- 870 times a day.

"Transparent" Riverside Won't Publish Cops Salaries - May Retreat on DUI Twitter Threat

Proclaiming his little suburban village's commitment to "transparency" one Tom Weitzel, the police Chief of Riverside, Illinois said last week that he would begin Twittering out the names and addresses of citizens nabbed by his constabulary for suspected DUI.

Riverside's Top Cop                                            
 "Transparency Tom" Weitzel                                                      

But wonder of wonders, it seems that unlike Chicago, Evanston, Skokie and other genuinely transparent municipalities, Riverside won't tell its taxpayers what it is paying its cops -- or any of its other village jobholders, for that matter.

And it seems that the transparently nontransparent little Riverside is now backing down from its threatened on-line bullying scheme.

It seems that outraged citizens deluged the Riverside city fathers with emails and calls -- most of which called Weitzel's scheme a crock of elib. Some likened it to East German Communist police tactics, circa 1952.

Weitzel said today on WBBM radio that he was going to seek an opinion by IL Attorney General, Lisa Madigan, before deciding whether to go forward with his peculiar scheme.

We think that's called "covering your ass."

The cops in Riverside have every right to disclose public info about arrests. But an arrest is only an allegation.

Anyone remember Chicago police Officer Richard Fiorito, who was once honored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving for his aggressive DUI arrests? That crooked cop was pulled off street duty three years ago amid allegations that he had falsified dozens of the charges.

In fact the city of Chicago had to shell out big bucks to compensate citizens who were falsely accused of DUI by that crooked cop.

Crooked Chicago Cop Fiorito Filed Fake DUI charges

And all of Weitzel's gibberish about "Riverside's commitment to transparency" turns out to be a crock of bull.

When we asked Riverside for a list of the salaries that taxpayers shell out to its government operatives - including their cops - their spokesperson, one Cathy Haley, quite arrogantly blurted, "The village is not required to list the names of employees and has chosen not to do so."

But just last week, until outraged citizens told them to P-off, they seemed more than happy to list the names of merely accused citizens.

What was that about Riverside's transparency, Chief Weitzel?

Maybe Rahm Should Fast 'Til Illegal Alien Criminals Are Nabbed

The big news today is that Chicago Mayor, Rahm Emanuel, is fasting for 24 hours to show his solidarity with the open borders crowd who want amnesty for the 11 to 20 million illegal aliens in our midst.

Jose Garcia is on the Cook Co. Most Wanted
 list for attempted rape of an 11 year old

Not to be outdone, the ever publicity hungry Sen. Dick Durbin and Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth have announced that they too will fast.

Given the amassed blubber on Durbin and Duckworth's frames, we have no fear that their constitutions will want for stored fuel. But we worry about the lean and bony Rahmfather.

Can't someone at least sneak him a bagel? Lightly toasted with a nice little schmeer?

It has occured to us however, that these paragons of do-goodism would better exert their abstemious self-denial in support of another illegal alien cause -- the apprehension of the vicious criminals on Cook County Sheriff, Tom Dart's Most Wanted Criminal list.

You see, of the top 14, a full dozen are immigrants and 9 of those are Latino illegal aliens.

You can check that out for yourself by going here: http://www.cookcountysheriff.com/sheriffs_police/MostWanted/ccspd_mostwanted.html

Sheriff Dart posts the mugs of these felonious absconders on-line and they are a pretty sinister looking lot, indeed.

Most, it seems, are wanted for rape or child molestation. One is wanted for kiddie porn and another is wanted for running over and killing an American while he was drunk as a skunk.

Raudel Artega is wanted for
 raping a woman at gunpoint

They are all on the lam and many have likely hotfooted it back home  to the convenient safety of the Mexican 3rd world idyll.

The thing that is striking about Dart's Most Wanted Criminal list is that native born Americanoes are sorely underrepresented. Only 2 show up on the list -- black guys -- one of whom was just apprehended.

Nary a single white American to be found there.

What's wrong here?

Why are we, as a nation, seemingly incapable of producing a healthy crop of home-grown felons?

Maybe the ICIRR and the other llegal alien apologists and pimps were right after all.

Illegal aliens are only over here to do jobs Americans won't do.

Rahm and his lefty pals should ruminate on this as they listen to their bellies growl and shed their crocodile tears.

Congressperson Jan Schakowsky Loves ObamaCare - Still!!!!

Well, there were U.S. Cavalrymen who fought to the last arrow in their chests at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

And there were Japanese kamikazes who, with their cities in ruins, still flew to their deaths in antiquated little airplanes loaded with gasoline and bombs.

And there are communists, to this very day, in North Korea and Cuba, who still believe in promise of the Marxist-Leninist Utopian dream.

Jan Schakowsky to Voters: Obamacare is great
 and if you disagree you can just Fuck Off!!

This despite all rational evidence to the contrary.

And our very own, wildly delusional, Congressthing from the 9th Congressional District of Illinois still insists that Obamacare is simply Wundebar!!!

And if you think otherwise, you can just fuck off!

This from the Chicago area socialist's Congressional website as of 3:30 pm today (still!!!).

"I am especially proud of the passage of the historic Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. It is already benefiting millions of Americans, and it lays a strong foundation to make even more improvements."

Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky blurted.

Jan Schakowsky -- dumber than dirt -- more obstinate than a mule -- You can stand her up at the gates of hell and she won't back down!

Even when it means that the Republican party will inevitably take control of the US Senate next year.

Even when it means that her Democrat colleagues in the House of Representative will drop like flies in the 2014 by-elections -- slinking into the status of "super minority" at the hands of a righteously wrathful American electorate.

Well, say what you want about her, but the esteemed Congressthing from Illinois is certainly stubborn.

As stubborn as a corpse.

Maybe Schakowsky should have paid heed to one of her socialist ideological preceders, the 19th century Russian writer Alexander Herzen, who quipped:

"There is nothing in the world more stubborn than a corpse: you can hit it, you can knock it to pieces -- but you cannot convince it."


Here's Tom Petty backed up by rock luminaries, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Jeff Lynne in the classic '90s tune "I won't back down."

Obamacare Navigators Signing Up Inmates at Cook County Jail

With the paltry numbers of Americans able or willing to sign up for Obamacare, Federally-funded "navigators" have fastened on a sure fire way to grab a captive audience and pump up those numbers.

The Drill at Cook County Jail: Get photographed,
 fingerprinted and enrolled in Obamacare

They are signing up inmates at Cook County jail as part of the intake process.

Reliable sources have told us and Sheriff Tom Dart's spokesperson has confirmed, that since early summer, Cook County jail arrestees have been told by guards to line up to see the Obamacare "navigators" as part of the normal jail intake process.

So the drill at 26th and California has basically become 1)get fingerprinted and photographed 2)get tested for communicable diseases and 3)sign up for Obamacare with either of the 2 helpful and friendly female $13 an hour "navigators" who have been given desk space in the jail intake area.

One gets the sense that these enrollees may not have an overwhelming percentage of that high-earning, young, healthy demographic that is requisite to subsidizing the system for others.

One guesses that more than a few Medicaid enrollments have resulted.

So How Many Jewish Votes Will Rauner Bring To the GOP?

Good Buddies Bruce  and Rahm

Billionaire speculator, Bruce Rauner is running for Governor. In return for high dollar contributions, he received a big award from the American Jewish Committee for "protecting Jewish populations in danger."

He takes vacations with  Rahm Emanuel -- Barack Obama's Democrat former chief of staff and now the first ever Jewish Mayor of Chicago.

Along with his Jewish-American wife, he is a major donor to the pro-amnesty, pro-open borders Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.

Bruce Rauner, the professed Republican, a few years back, was a financial backer in a $479 million deal brokered by his beach side buddy, Rahm Emanuel and another big Democrat honcho, Bill Daley -- the former Chicago Democratic Mayor's brother.

But now comes Rauner in to save the tawdry Illinois Republicans.

Well I'm so happy to hear in today's Tribune that the billionaire speculator, Bruce Rauner, has decided to pour a cool half million samoleons into his Republican campaign.

With his high profile in the Chicago Jewish community, you'd think Rauner would be a shoe-in to bring in big Jewish vote totals.

Now during the last Presidential campaign, 69% of American Jews voted for Barack Obama, a marginal improvement over the 78% they gave Obama the first time around, but still a vote of landslide proportions.

You could say, that Jews put Barack Obama over the top.

In fact Jews have been such a predictably reliable liberal Democrat voter cohort, that one of President Reagan's speechwriters was prompted to quip, "Jews are the only group with the income of Episcopalians and the voting behavior of Puerto Ricans."

But johnny-come-lately Republican, Bruce Rauner, with his personal millions is going to change all that.

He's going to bring Jewish voters over to the Republican column in droves.

Just as Governor Ron Gidwitz did.

24th Anniversary of the Fall of Berlin Wall: Celebrating the Commies' Demise in Song

Ed Note: Yesterday was the 24th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. (Has it really been that long?) Here, reprinted from the Chicago Schlager Music Review, is an interesting analysis of that event, punctuated with German pop music by some very hot German chicks:


By Tom Faber
CSMR Editor

CHICAGO, USA-- 24 years ago today, the Berlin Wall fell. Freedom loving people around the world celebrated as that infernal Russian-Soviet constructed scar on the face on humanity was, at long last, breached and would soon be dismantled.

Linda Hesse and Helene Fischer
were both born behind the Iron Curtain

The liberation of the oppressed people of the Soviet puppet state in the East of Germany on that fateful late autumn day was a direct result of the stalwart resistance to socialist oppression exerted by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and his chief ally, British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

They rearmed the West and refused to listen to the voices of appeasement. As a result, communism collapsed.

Combined with timely, decisive action by German Chancellor, Helmut Kohl, in 1989 the 16 million captives in the East of Germany,were at long last, reunited with their kindred spirits in the civilized Western world.

This historic date is of special interest to schlager music fans.

Had the wall not fallen in 1989, we might never have even heard of, much less enjoyed, the work of such schlager luminaries as Helene Fischer, Ella Endlich, Stepanie Hertel, Linda Hesse and Ute Freudenberg.

You see, all these girls were born behind the Iron Curtain. Had communism not been defeated and the wall not fallen they would never have been free to come West and develop their full potentialities. They would never have been free to share with the world their own wonderful magic.

The schlager superstar, Helene Fischer, was born of ethnic German parents in 1984 in the former Soviet concentration camp town of Krasnoyarsk, USSR. Linda Hesse, the cute new schlager pop phenom was born the very same year in Halberstadt, East Germany.

The theatrical multi-talented, Ella Endlich, was also born in 1984 in Weimar, East Germany. And Stephanie Hertel came to life in 1979 in Oelsnitz, in the communist East.

And the venerably traditional schlager performer, Ute Freudenberg, was also born in Weimar in 1956 -- 3 years after Soviet tanks brutally crushed a rebellion of workers in East Germany who were demanding freedom and reunification with the West.

After the fall of the wall, they all offered their formidable talents to music lovers in the reunited Europe and all have met with a well-deserved appreciation of their talents and consequently commensurate material reward.

So today it's great to celebrate the relegation of communism to, as President Reagan predicted, the ash heap of human history.

And it's a great day to celebrate these wonderful schlager music luminaries who have been rendered free to so greatly enhance our lives.

Thanks, President Reagan. Thanks, girls.

Here is Austrian schlager star, Simone's 1990 entry to the Eurovision Song Contest, Keine Mauern Mehr,  No Walls Anywhere - a dynamic musical celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall:



And here, from Helene Fischer's 2012 Christmas Day ARD TV special, Helene introduces Linda Hesse and they join in singing Linda's smash 2012 hit, Ich bin ja kein Mann, (I'm not a man) Both girls were born behind the communist Iron Curtain and were freed by the fall of the Berlin wall which signaled the defeat of Soviet communism:

Jewish Bigots at Highland Park HS Persecute Jesus Christ

The High School in heavily Jewish Highland Park, Illinois today told a student that he could not wear a costume characterizing Jesus Christ because it would be offensive to some.

Highland Park Christian Marshon Sanders

This same Highland Park High School, which has more $100+ faculty on their payroll than any other school in the state, has no qualms whatever about hiring 2 teachers -- with fat salaries at taxpayers' expense -- to teach Hebrew language and culture to Jewish students -- essentially a tax supported religious education for area Jews.

But they think Jesus might be offensive to the Jews there.

So the kid -- who is a devout Christian -- was bullied into taking the costume off.

For centuries, Christians had excoriated Jews for being "the killers of Christ."

At the 2nd Vatican Council (1964-1966) the Catholic Church admonished Catholic Christians to refrain from such sentiments.

It also eliminated a prayer from the Mass that invoked God to assist in "the Conversion of the Jews."

Apparently that Christian tolerance is not reciprocated in some Jewish quarters -- at least not in Highland, Park Illinois.

The School District there, SD113, reeling from an outcry by incensed Christians, relented and told the kid, one Marshon Sanders, that he could, after all, appear in a representation of the Christian-Jewish Messiah.

But the bullying by the Highland Park Judeo-centric administrators was too much for the teenager to handle, and he went through the day devoid of the respectfully intentioned Christ costume.

You know, the Highland Park bigots wouldn't dare offend Muslim sensibilities. Then they would have to deal with legal action from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Perhaps the administration at Highland Park High School District 113 should consider that their anti-Christian bigotry may open them to legal action from the St. Thomas More Legal Foundation.

And perhaps several employees of Highland Park High School District 113 are badly in need of a required course in "diversity training" and "civil rights training."

Skokie's New Nazi Problem - The Skokie PD -- Skokie Thug Cop, Michael Hart, Finally Indicted

In 1978 Skokie was the subject of national attention when it sought to stop a group of ragtag neo-Nazis from marching through the 40% Jewish suburb.

Skokie's Gestapo Thug Cop Michael Hart

It failed at that as the courts upheld the Nazis' rights to peaceably assemble and demonstrate.

This past March, a thuggish veteran Skokie Cop by the name of Michael Hart, slammed a 110 pound woman into a concrete cell fixture, causing massive destruction of her facial structure, loss of innumerable teeth and massive blood loss.

The victim of this latest Skokie Police brutality, one Cassandra Feuerstein, has suffered loss of vision and ongoing dental problems. She has had titanium plates inserted into her facial bones.

This happened on March 10th. It was captured on videotape.

What did Skokie do about this?

Nothing.

Skokie's Officials Knew Nothing, Nothing!!

Kind of like Sergeant Schultz in Hogan's Heroes, they saw Nothing, Nothing, Nothing!!!!

It was only after Feurstein hired an attorney who released the video to the news media that the Village of Skokie's attention was at all piqued to this blatant Gestapo-like behavior.

It was only after today's indictment of Skokie Gestapo officer Hart, by Cook County States Attorney Anita Alverez,  on 2 felony counts, that Herr Hart was suspended from his police duties.

The Victim of Skokie's Storm Trooper Cops

Skokie Obergruppenfuhrer, Al Rigoni, (Skokie's Village Manager for life) said that the village was waiting for the State's Attorney to act "Before completing its own investigation. -- This 7 months after the fact.

Skokie Fuhrer, George Van Dusen (Skokie's Democrat Machine Mayor) said "I am proud of the work the Skokie Police Department does every day,” Mayor George Van Dusen said in the village’s released statement. Our officers perform a difficult job extraordinarily well.”

Van Dusen said it is every officer’s duty to treat members of the public professionally and respectfully. He promised the village would complete its review shortly and take appropriate actions."

Well, Mein Fuhrer, that's rather like when the members of Adolf Hitler's Supreme Reich Command decided to look into peace talks with the Allied Armies.

Only after outside forces had blown their cities to smithereens.

Skokie has a new Nazi problem. It is within.

Famed Fluky's Goes Islamic - Hot Dog Joint Now a Mosque

The conversion of Western Avenue in West Rogers Park into Moslem row continues apace as the storied Fluky's fast food emporium has now been converted into an Islamic mosque.

For over 3 decades, Fluky's was to that far North side community what Superdawg is to the Northwest side or what Gene & Jude's is to the Southwest side - a venerable purveyor of high-quality fast food delicacies.

The former Fluky's is now an Islamic mosque

Legend has it that Fluky's in its original incarnation on Maxwell Street, just West of the Loop, was the originator of the Chicago-style Vienna hot dog - the so-called "garden on a bun."

Until 1998, Fluky's was owned by a Jewish fellow named Wexler, a descendant of the man who started the operation in 1929, who was a big contributor to the #1 illegal alien lobby organization in Chicago, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR).

Having thus done his bit for diversity, social justice and cheap foreign labor (of which he was an enthusiastic consumer)Wexler sold the joint and repaired to a quiet North Shore suburb where he is happily insulated from the social effects of diversity.

7419 N. Western: Home of the Burkha-wearing Bimbos

The Council on Islamic American Relations is a prime constituent of Wexler's pet ICIRR illegal alien pimps so the conversion of the legendary hot dog emporium to a mosque was really just a transaction amongst friends.

The old Fluky's site at 6821 N. Western Avenue has now been painted jihadist green by its new occupant, Jama' Masjid Faizan-e-Madinah.

This now becomes the 4th Islamic religious outfit to insinuate itself on the 9 block stretch of North Western Avenue between Pratt Avenue and Howard Street.

Just 2 blocks North there at 7020 Western is the BICC Bosnian Islamic Community Center, across the street from which at 7045 Western is the Ramat' E Alam Foundation.

The Bosnian Islamic hangout at 7020 N. Western Ave.

Four blocks North of there at 7419 Western is the Mahdevia Islamic Center of Chicago, where, before they bricked over the storefront glass, you used to be able to see rows of docile black-burkhad Islamic bimbos, quietly sitting on folding chairs taking in their black-bearded imam's pearls of wisdom.

Now all of this Jihadist settlement is occurring on the very border of Chicago's famed "Golden Ghetto," home to more than a dozen synogogues and scads of Lubavitch and other Orthodox Jewish cultists.

This creates a very interesting scenario, not at all dissimilar to the never dull, West Bank and Gaza strip of Palestine. Could Chicago soon be in store for comparable levels of never-ending excitement?

Skokie's Government-Loving East Prairie School Outlaws Fun

Last week we told the tale of the inane goings-on at Skokie's East Prairie School, wherein a blithering idiot of a school marm was indoctrinating little 4th graders in the wonders of an all-consuming, nanny state government.

East Prairie's Govt=Family Propaganda Piece

We printed the questionnaire that the pedagogical pudding head gave the kids. It equated government to a benevolent family. Some parents took umbrage with this teacher's statist indoctrination and it made national news.

We also printed all the salaries of the overpaid unionized teachers and and administrators at that Skokie District 73 government establishment. You can see that by going here: http://chicagolampoon.blogspot.com/2013/09/skokies-east-prairie-school-embraces.html

Our crack Chicago Lampoon photojournalists went out to Skokie's East Prairie School to get some local color and they found that the place not only is extolling the virtues of the Gulag-state, but it actually looks a bit like a Gulag.

They found a school yard, fenced in with aesthetically disastrous, but highly effective 8 foot fences. They also found a sign outlawing basically every fun thing that a kid might want to do.

East Prairie School's No-No list

Explicitly outlawed at East Prairie School are bicycling, roller blading, skateboarding, roller skating and scootering (sic).

There is also an ominous warning sign that you are in a "Safe School Zone" and will get the book thrown at you for gun possession, drug sales or recruiting any of the 6 to 12 year old Skokie kids into your gang.

Fun place this, huh?

They forgot to explicitly outlaw running, jumping, laughing,jump-roping, hop-scotch and pick-up softball games. As these are spontaneously fun things kids do without government supervision, the East Prairie School nanny staters will want to run right out and get a sign maker to rectify this oversight.

When she was indoctrinating the kids on the joys of the "government family", the 4th grade school marm neglected to say if this family would be paternal or maternal in orientation.

Paternal, like Adolf Hitler's Fatherland?

Or maternal, Like Josef Stalin's Mother Russia?

One gets the distinct impression that Skokie School District 73 and East Prairie School have not heard the last of this.

Chicago's Illegal Alien Lobby Getting Millions to Enroll Immigrants in Obamacare

The Chicago Lampoon has stumbled on a little-known State of Illinois grant notice which reveals that Chicago's chief lobby group for illegal aliens, The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) and a number of ancillary immigrant lobby groups are getting millions of dollars in grants to enroll immigrants in the Obamacare socialized medicine scheme.

The feds are handing out big wads of your tax cash to hire "In-person counselors" and "Navigators" at $13 an hour to run around and sign up people for the Obamacare program. They've designated a gaggle of "Community Action Agencies" to hire the counselors and navigators.

Here's a list of the Chicago area immigrant groups and the amount of federal cash they'll be raking in:

Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights -- $1,250,000.00
Illinois Migrant Council -- $385,000.00
Pilsen-Little Village Community Mental Health Center-- $650,000.00
El Hogar del Nino -- $225,000.00
Asian Health Coalition -- $115,897.33
Alivio Medical Center -- $66,560.00

Now ICIRR has been the chief pimp operation for illegal aliens in the Chicago area for the past 25 years.

They pushed through the "sanctuary city" and "sanctuary county" measures, whereby the cops and the Cook County jail can't cooperate with ICE to deport illegal alien suspects that they apprehend.

They pushed through the so-called "Dream Act," giving in-state college tuition to illegal aliens.

And they've been the rabble rousers behind all the noisy rallies of leftists demanding "rights" for the squatters who snuck into our country.

And now Obama & Co. have deputized them and are giving them cash to go out and sign up bodies for his medical scheme.

Obama and his allies, of course, have proposed another scheme to amnesty the 11 to 20 million illegal squatters here. They have assured us that the amnestied illegals won't be able to cash in on his free medical scheme for 8 years.

If you believe that, I have 2014 Cubs World Series tickets I can let you have -- cheap.

Durbin, Pelosi Join Obama War Party -- All We Are Saying: "Is Give War a Chance!!"

Less than a month after editorializing against the horrors of US military spending, lefty scribbler, Michael Cohen now heaves up, "The Liberal Case for Obama Striking Syria."


The former chief spokesman for Vietnam Veterans Against the War, John Kerry, is of course, helping mastermind the Obama war effort.

Not ones to be left behind the Obama martial juggernaut, Illinois' own Sen. Dick Durbin, who once likened US soldiers to Nazis, has signed on, as has San Francisco's quintessential peacenik and Haight-Ashbury flower child, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi. Can Jan Schakowsky be far behind?

All they are saying, is Give War a Chance!!

Here's John Lennon and Yoko Ono from 1969 with Give Peace a Chance. Had Obama been presiding over Lyndon Johnson's peacekeeping operations in Vietnam, the song mightn't have ever been written:

Skokie's East Prairie School Embraces Collectivist Indoctrination: Teachers' Salaries Listed

In recent weeks there has been a distressing tendency among wordsmiths for federal government officials to inject the term "Federal Family" into their public pronunciamentos. CNS News just chronicled this today.

Skokie's East Prairie School

Now comes word that a 4th grade teacher at Skokie's District 73 East Prairie Elementary School gave an assignment designed to indoctrinate the tots into the concept that government is essentially equivalent to their own flesh and blood families.

Here was the quiz that the neo-Marxist, overpaid nincompoop assigned the little 10 year old kids:


1. How does your family keep you safe?
2. How does the government keep its citizens safe?
3. How does your family keep you healthy?
4. How does the government keep its citizens healthy?
5. How does your family help you learn and become educated?
6. How does the government help its citizens learn and become educated?
7. What kind of rules does your family have for you?
8. What kind of rules does government have for its citizens?
9. How does your family punish you when you break the rules?
10. How does government punish citizens who break the law?

Professor Walter Williams has chronicled how people in the teaching profession are the least competent students on America's college campuses, with the lowest test scores of all college students, but for sheer idiocy, this takes the cake.

Or is it more than idiocy?

We have no doubt that the 4th grade school marm in question has no clue as to the fact that US education is based on the doctrine of in loco parentis -- schools operate in the place of the parents (i.e. inculcating parental values and mores to the children.)

EPS logo (& Marxism?)

The 4th grade East Prairie School teacher likely couldn't even pronounce the term.

But we're wondering if, given the fact that the Obama administration has just injected "Federal Family" into its talking points, there isn't some orchestrated campaign in operation here.

Teachers should be inculcating the unique American ideal that limited government is the best government. Or as President Reagan put it, "A government that is big enough to give you anything you want is also big enough to take everything you have."

Rather, East Prairie School District 73 seems bent on indoctrinating their impressionable charges in a Lenin-styled notion that the family is superfluous -- government is the great provender of all that is good.

Just who is running Skokie East Prairie School District 73? Take a look at their School Board here.

Here are the latest available 2012 salaries for Skokie East Prairie School District 73. They are garnered from the Family Taxpayers Foundation which received them as a result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Pat Buchanan on Obama's Syrian Saber Rattling

Here is Pat Buchanan's latest column on the war drums that have begun to be heard from Washington:

“Catastrophic!” said Sen. John McCain.

If Congress votes no on a resolution calling for U.S. intervention in Syria’s civil war, says McCain, it would be “catastrophic” for U.S. credibility in the world.


Consider what the senator is saying here.

Because Barack Obama, two years ago, said “Assad must go,” and, one year ago, said any use of chemical weapons crosses his “red line,” Congress has no choice but to plunge America into yet another Mideast war.

Can this be? Are we really, as a nation, required to go to war to make good the simple-minded statements of an untutored president who had no constitutional authority to issue his impulsive ultimata?

Are we really required to go to war to get the egg off Obama’s face?

Not since the War of Jenkins’ Ear has there been a dumber cause for a great country to go to war. Is there no way out?

There is, and it’s right in front of us.

The House, Senate or both can vote no on the war resolution, and Obama can then say, as did David Cameron, that, while he disagrees, he respects the decision of a Congress in which the Constitution placed sole authority to authorize America’s going to war.

Are Brits now crying “catastrophe!”? Do the Spanish no longer think the Brits will defend Gibraltar? Is Britain now wholly non-credible to the world?

For Obama, and for us, it is the other options that invite catastrophe.

If, for example, the House or Senate votes down the war resolution and Obama, without authorization from Congress, the Security Council, NATO or the Arab League plunges us into a new war this nation does not want to fight, he will be courting a geostrategic and political disaster.

Even if Congress approves a war resolution, the president should think long and hard about diving into a war he sought to avoid and stayed out of for over two years. Make no mistake; if Obama attacks Syria, be it for hours or days, we are in that blood-soaked abattoir for the duration.

In his dramatic statement Saturday, as politically astute as it was constitutionally correct, Obama called Syria “someone else’s war.”

Whose war? It is Shia Alawite vs. Sunni, Muslim vs. Christian, Kurd vs. Arab, Islamist vs. secularist. Backing Bashar Assad are Iran, Hezbollah and Russia. Backing the rebels are Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, al-Qaida, foreign jihadists and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Assad is accused of killing 100,00 people. But that is the total of the dead in a civil war Assad has as much right to fight as the rebels. While his army is accused of using gas on civilians, the Islamist rebels have murdered Christians, massacred captives and engaged in public acts of cannibalism on dead Syrian soldiers.

Gas is a sickening weapon. Yet, there is no evidence thus far that Assad ordered its use. Rebel elements are said to have been found with sarin. As for Americans who tend to prefer white phosphorus, napalm and cluster bombs, upon what lofty moral ground do we stand?

Have we forgotten that Churchill wanted to drop anthrax on Germany and settled for two days of firebombing the defenseless city of Dresden? Or that our great friend Anwar Sadat was the confidante of Gamal Abdel Nasser when Egypt was using poison gas on Yemeni tribesmen?

The United States does not have any national security interest in Syria’s war. Why would we then launch missile attacks to “degrade” Assad’s military, when that army and air force are all that stands between us and a privileged sanctuary for al-Qaida in northern Syria, not unlike what al-Qaida had in Tora Bora and Waziristan.

We are told that if we do not strike Syria – making good on Obama’s threats – Israel, Turkey and even Japan and South Korea will not be able to trust us ever again.

What nonsense. We have treaties with Japan and South Korea. As for Turkey and Israel, if what is happening in Syria is outrageous and dangerous, why do they not act? Why do they keep tugging at our sleeve?

The Israeli Air force is five minutes from Damascus, its army a two-day march. The Turks have three times Syria’s population and a 400,000-man army equipped with NATO weapons. Together, they could invade and turn the tide in a week. Why do they not man up?

McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham came out of the Oval Office saying Obama was open to wider strikes on Syria and more lethal support for the rebels. As Iran, Hezbollah and Russia would then upgrade their own weapons shipments to Damascus, this will mean more dead, more wounded, more tens of thousands fleeing into exile and a longer war.

But what it will likely end with, after America is dragooned in, is a U.S. war with Iran; our allies, sitting in their box seats, cheering us on.

And that is the dog you will not hear bark in the war-on-Syria debate.

Black Teens Shoot White Aussie "For Fun": Chicago Tribune Covers Up Race of Shooters

"Teens" Accused of murdering Aussie ballplayer "for fun"

 
Most everyone who reads the Drudge Report knows by now that 3 black teenagers in Oklahoma shot and killed a white Australian baseball player in cold blood yesterday on an Oklahoma jogging path.

The White Victim

Readers of the Chicago Tribune or its free throwaway adjunct, the Redeye, however would just know that "teens" shot a "jogger."

It's not that the Tribune has an aversion to reporting the race of shooters, however. Because on page 6 of today's Trib-owned Redeye, readers were told that yesterday's gunman at an Atlanta grade school was "a white male adult."

Of course, the leftist news media won't give the hate crime aspect of this black-on-white, outright murder the same gleeful emphasis they afforded the murky Trayvon Martin matter.

The outright anti-white bias of the Chicago Tribune and its censorious cover up of black-on-white criminal atrocities is beyond contemptuous at this point.

The members of the liberal news media have become enemies of the people.

Each and every one of them.

Sylvia Plath: Feminist Icon and Leftist Looneytune

This marks the 50th anniversary of American poet Sylvia Plath's death.

Feminist icon Sylvia Plath

She was wildly promiscuous as a college girl. She was criminally negligent as a mother. She was a mindless, knee-jerk left-winger, wrong on virtually every vital issue of her day. She was certifiably insane.

And she has become an icon of the feminist movement.

Naturally.

At the time she decided to swallow a bottle of sleeping pills and stick her head into a gas oven, leaving behind her 2 infant children in an adjoining room, Sylvia Plath was little more than a 2nd rate talent.

The New Yorker was rejecting her poems by the truckload. She had just approached two American publishers  with her self-admitted  "potboiler" the  pseudonymously penned novel, The Bell Jar.

They both said thanks, but no thanks.

She was known best only for being the wife of  English writer and future British national poet-laureate, Ted Hughes. He was a colleague of T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden and was commanding big sums for his literary output.

Plath's husband, Ted Hughes

She was not.

So as it turned out, her decision to snuff it on the morning of February 11, 1963 was one of the best career moves she could have possibly made.

That's because in death, radical feminists would adopt her as an iconic role model and vigorously promote her as being some sort of artistic genius.

Then, her stuff finally began to sell.

Liberals need their martyrs and Sylvia Plath fit their requirements to a T.

First off, Sylvia Plath was an extreme left-winger.

She, seemed to get all her political ideas from the ultra-left wing  The Nation - a Madison Wisconsin-based rag whose pages entertained the journalistic excretions of the likes of communists Leon Trotsky, Noam Chomsky and Izzy Stone.

Most egregiously, Sylvia Plath developed a maniacal affinity for the Jewish-American communist spies and traitors, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Plath proclaimed their innocence and railed at her fellow college girls for being able to calmly eat breakfast on the day of their executions.

Plath actually developed a psychosomatic sympathetic rash on her arms at the very hour the Rosenbergs were dispatched at the electric chair for handing the murderous Josef Stalin the secrets to America's H-bomb.

Plath's political bible

Plath had no moral qualms about people who supplied the mass murdering despot, Stalin, with weapons of mass destruction, but decried President John F. Kennedy for "threatening the Soviet Union."

She called her mother "stupid" for voting for General Eisenhower rather than the ridiculous Libertyville aristocrat, Adlai Stevenson, who she called "The Abe Lincoln of our age."

In the world of Sylvia Plath's fevered brain, Ike's election was, "the funeral day of all my hopes and ideas."

Over at Cambridge on a Fulbright scholarship, she immediately joined the Young Labour Party, which was then dominated by full-blown Stalinists of the extremist Trade Unions Council. She also signed on to the "Ban the Bomb" movement of pinhead lefty mathematician, Bertrand Russell (apparently not realizing that if her heroes, the Rosenbergs had not supplied Stalin with the H-bomb, an American nuclear monopoly would have obviated the whole problem.)

Secondly, Sylvia Plath became a vehement misandrist.

Stung by her husband's rejection of her in the last months of her life she spewed out a number of poetic ravings which vilified men:

"I hated men because they didn't stay around and love me like a father: I could prick holes in them and show they were no father material...Men, nasty lousy men."

So when the radical feminists began to flex the muscles on their hairy arms in the 1970s, who could be more perfect a figure to manufacture into an icon than Sylvia Plath?

An  ultra-Left Wing, Man-hating, artiste. And with a phony, contrived British accent to boot.

And so, buoyed by the feminist left, little by little Plath's writings gained posthumous acceptance, culminating in an unheard of posthumous award of the Pultizer Prize in 1982.

Today, her lightweight feminized version of J.D.Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, The Bell Jar, is read by thousands of school girls each year.

And almost every year some deranged feminazis descend on her cemetery in West Yorkshire, England and chisel her married name, "Hughes" off of her headstone. Her husband always dutifully replaces it.

The Plath estate has scheduled some heretofore unpublished material of hers for release this year, on the 50th anniversary of her self-immolation.

We will not be standing in line, waiting for copies.


Here is a 50s newsreel clip reporting the conviction of communist spies, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Sylvia Plath claimed they were innocent and became maniac over the event. Soviet KGB files made public in the 90s proved that they were indeed guilty of betraying the United States:



(The facts on Plath's life referred to herein are from Sylvia Plath, A Biography, by Linda W. Wagner-Martin, 1987, Simon and Schuster. Wagner-Martin was professor of English at Michigan State University, specializing in modern literature and womens' literature.)

When Chicago Almost Got The Eiffel Tower (Got A Ferris Wheel Instead)

From the strange but true file comes the amazing fact that Chicago almost got its very own Eiffel tower, but turned it down in favor of a massive Ferris wheel.

The Eiffel Tower -
still gracing the Paris skyline

While the Eiffel tower still stands as an iconic symbol of Parisian grace and elegance, Chicago's famed Ferris wheel was sold for scrap and dynamited out of existence a mere 13 years after its creation.

According to Erik Larson's 2003 best seller, The Devil in the White City, here's how it all happened.

The Eiffel Tower was constructed for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris. It was a worldwide marvel of both aesthetic and engineering mastery which was retained as a permanent fixture. Of course it became the very symbol of Paris itself.

In an attempt to surpass the acclaimed French World Fair, Chicago's organizers of the 1892 Columbian Exposition World's Fair secured the most renowned architects from New York and the industrial North to design a stunning assemblage of buildings.

Led by Evanston resident and leading Chicago architect, Daniel Burnham, Chicago's fair organizers also signed on Frederick Law Olmstead, the landscape architect of Central Park in New York, to transform the swampy South side Jackson Park into a thing of exquisite natural beauty. It would be the site of the 1892 World's Fair.

Now, all Chicago needed to blow memories of France's fair out of the water was a knockout engineering marvel, akin to the Eiffel Tower in importance.


Chicago's World's Fair Ferris Wheel 1893,
chosen instead of Gustave Eiffel's tower

The Chicago organizing committee put the word out in US engineering circles. The proposals they got back were mundane at best and some were downright weird.

One completely wackizany engineer proposed what would have been the world's first bungee jump contraption.

He proposed construction of a 4,000 foot tower on which a car seating 200 people would be attached to a 2,000 foot long rubber cable. The car would then be pushed off the top giving 200 people the wildest (and probably only) bungee jump of the 19th century. (p.135)

The liability law lobby was non-existent in 1892, but fair planners could still see that the bungee jump operation might not end well.

Another crackpot proposed a 5,000 foot tower made of logs with a log cabin atop. Still another proposed a 9,000 foot tower that would have an appended toboggan slide from the top for daredevil snow sport enthusiasts. (p.134)

Almost at the point of despair, Burnham's committee received a letter from Gustave Eiffel, himself, offering to design a tower comparable to, but somewhat larger than his 1889 Parisian tower.

An Eiffel tower for Chicago -- wouldn't that have been something?

Burnham and Co. were seriously considering Eiffel's offer, but were confronted by a storm of outrage from the American engineering community. They insisted on a US engineering feat to be showcased at Chicago's US fair. (p.135)

A rusting civic eyesore, the Ferris Wheel
was demolished in 1906

So Eiffel was politely turned down.

In the end, the fair committee somewhat reluctantly accepted the bid of a young Pittsburgh engineer and steel specialist, George Washington Ferris.

He proposed to construct a wheel of steel, 250 feet in diameter. It would carry 36 cars, each about the size of a Pullman train car, equipped with a lunch counter and with an overall capacity of 2,160. It would propel riders 300 feet in the sky over Jackson Park -- a bit higher than the crown of the Statue of Liberty.

When they finally got Ferris' contraption up and running about 6 months after the fair opened, it was a huge success. Almost 1.5 million fair goers paid for rides on the wheel, making about $395,000 for Ferris' firm (in 1893 dollars.)

Over time, variants of the Ferris Wheel would become a mainstay of carnivals, fairs and amusement parks around the world and would make a fortune for G.W. Ferris' family.

But as an architectural landmark it was pretty damned useless.

After the Columbian Exposition closed in November of 1893, the Ferris Wheel was dismantled and re-erected near Lincoln Park on the North side to serve as an attraction anchor for an entertainment district. It failed as a major draw and in 1903 was sold to a scrap metal firm for $1,800.

They, in turn, sold it to a St. Louis consortium who exhibited it at the St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904.

The owners of the Ferris Wheel, which had by now become a white elephant, abandoned it on the site of the fair. Deeming it a rusting eyesore, St. Louis city fathers had it blown up by dynamite in 1906.

So much for the engineering marvel of Chicago's 1892 World's Fair.

And to think that Chicago could have, instead, had an Eiffel tower, that would still be gracing its skyline today.

On second thought, given that it would be located in Jackson Park on the gang-infested South side, Chicago's Eiffel Tower would probably have become little more than an irresistible palette for the spray paint gang graffiti artistes of the Black P Stone Nation and the Latin Kings.

Rape Skyrocketing in Chicago: White Women Victimized by Black and Brown Rapists

The front page headline in the Tribune's free throwaway Redeye, blared out of the Red corner newspaper boxes on August 1st: 3 per day - Sexual Assaults in Chicago - And up to half go unreported!

What the Tribune's kiddie tabloid conveniently failed to report was the racial breakdown of rapes in Chicago.

They had no problem reporting the race breakdown of murders in Chicago in their subsequent August 2nd story on homicides here. That's because blacks are overwhelmingly the victims there (and the killers as well.)

But stony silence from Chicago's liberal media on the race of Chicago's rapists and the race of their victims.

That's because the vast preponderance of the women raped here are white women. And the majority of their rapists are black men.

According to one of the very few breakdowns by race culled from FBI crime stats, black-on-white rape is 115 times more common than the reverse.

The only two  famous alleged sexual assaults by white men on black women in the last two decades – the Tawana Brawley and Duke rape cases – turned out to be hoaxes.

So you can bet your sweet life that if white men were shown by the stats to be running down to Englewood in big numbers to rape black girls, the Tribune would have been shouting that from the rooftops.

Al Sharpton would get into a shoving match with Jesse Jackson to see who could get the most TV camera facetime. And those two odious race hucksters would be howling about white racism and calling on Obama's hack U.S. Attorney General to start investigating these as federal white "hate crimes."

The scribe who penned the August 1st rape article for Chicago's Newspaper for Dummies, the Redeye, was one Rachel Cromidas.

Redeye's crack reporter Rachel Cromidas

Asked by the Chicago Lampoon as to why the racial stats were happily reported in the homicide story but omitted from the rape story, she told us," The dataset I was able to use for my story did not include a racial breakdown. I don’t work on RedEye’s homicide coverage but my understanding is they have had more detailed data to work from."

Surprise, Surprise Surprise!!

Quite a curious lack of journalistic curiosity, wouldn't you say?

In light of some of the few recent 2013 high profile Chicago rapes, where the respective races of the perp and victim were reported:

 - the carjacking and rape of a white woman by a black teen

 -- the abduction from a Rogers Park bus stop and rape of a white Loyola U. student by an obese black man 

-- the serial black rapist of white women in Lincoln Park 

-- you would think a competent journalistic inquiry would demand a precise racial breakdown.

So what do the only available statistics tell us? A message the Tribune will not report.

The real repository of racism in America – manifest in violent interracial assault, rape and murder – is to be found not in the white community, but the African-American community. In almost all interracial attacks, whites are the victims, not the victimizers.

But that subject is taboo in the fantasyland of the mainstream liberal  news media. No wonder they're going out of business.

Chicago Tourists Mugged by Trayvon Wannabees - Jesse J. Says Run Like Rabbits

Another exciting weekend in Chicago as an elderly tourist and her teen daughter were swarmed by a flash mob of budding young Trayvon Martins while shopping on the Mag mile.

When confronted by feral young black thugs,
just run like rabbits: Jesse Jackson to whites

They had only been in town for 4 hours before being surrounded by the feral offspring of assorted South Side black baby mamas who then stold their I Phone.

One of the white victims, a 15 year old Florida girl, decided to stand her ground, however, and bear hugged one of the miscreants holding on to him until police arrived.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the young gentleman, no doubt a CPS honors student, hit her repeatedly in the head and snarled, "We didn't take your phone, you white bitch, leave us alone."

But surely since the offender was black and the victim white, crack Democrat States Attorney Anita Alverez would never press hate crimes charges for this, now would she?

Meanwhile, across town at the Daley Center, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who himself has sired an illegitimate creature with a baby mama, told a gaggle of perpetual victims of white racism and big Trayvon Martin fans that white people should flee like rabbits when faced with assaults like the above mentioned.

As Jackson so eloquently and logically put it, "Someone says you have the right to eliminate someone you disagree or don't like, we need to end the stand your ground law so it doesn't end us," he said.

Earlier this week Barack Obama called for a national discussion on race. The mulatto chief executive said that he, himself, had once been made to feel bad when followed by store security guards because of his race.

Happily, the gang of South side black teens who mugged the 51 year old woman tourist and her 15 year old daughter weren't made to feel bad by being watched closely by cops while looking for prey on North Michigan Avenue.

That, of course, would be racial profiling and that would make them feel unwelcome on Chicago's once Magnificent Mile.

Chicago Catholics Should Boycott Collection Plate Over Racist Priest Pfleger

During the Victorian era in Great Britain, the Church of England was jokingly referred to as "The Tory Party at Prayer."


Racist Catholic Priest Pfleger fans
flames of black anti-white bigotry 


Today, in Chicago, the Catholic Church in Gresham, known as St. Sabina, could realistically be called, "The Black Panther Party at Prayer."

That is because that 11th ward Roman Catholic enclave labors under the absurd tutelage of the ecclesiatic egomaniac and overt anti-white racist, Fr. Michael Pfleger.

This liturgical lunkhead has been at it again.

Now, in the wake of the lawful acquittal of the Sanford, Florida community watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, for shooting a black miscreant in self defense, Pfleger weighs in to the Chicago Tribune calling the jury's action, "A travesty."

Of course, in so doing, Pfleger was helping to fan the flames of anti-white racial hatred that has led to scores of physical attacks on innocent white people across the country.

This is just the latest in the pipsqueak pastor's abuse of his status as an ordained Catholic priest.

In the past, he has used his pulpit to rail against the 2nd amendment to the US constitution -- actually threatening to kill a gun store owner.

He has gone on the leftist NPR to berate his Church and Cardinal.

He has turned his Catholic Church's pulpit over to the anti-American, anti-white bigot, Jeremiah Wright.

He has praised and defended the notorious black racist, white hating Jew-baiter, Louis Farrakhan.


Anti-whites Pfleger and Farrakhan



He has berated white parents for being legitimately concerned for their children's safety in black Chicago enclaves.


And most curiously, this celebate, unmarried Catholic cleric has legally adopted 2 black boys - again, in defiance of his Cardinal.

How the current Cardinal Francis George justifies this, in light of the Illinois Catholic Church's refusal to allow gay men and women to adopt children, truly defies comprehension.

The milquetoast Cardinal George has repeatedly refused to discipline this clown.

Perhaps white Chicago Catholics, who are the financial mainstay of his diocese should send his church a message by the simple expedient of boycotting the Sunday collection plate until the racist bigot Pfleger is sent packing.

Maybe then the eunich Chicago Catholic Cardinal will be forced to grow a pair.
