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.

Beautiful Summer Weather in Chicago: Some Nice Summer Music

Annie M., one of our devoted regular Chicago Lampoon readers, which we are delighted to report now number well into the double digits, wrote in to say that we were too negative and snarky in tone.
A Beautiful Day in Chicago

"Why do you have to be so critical and negative all the time?" she queried. "If it were the most beautiful day ever, you would still find something to complain about."

We have to admit that she is right. We are too negative and snarky.

Weatherwise, this is truly a glorious day in Chicago -- 84 degrees, nary a cloud in the pastel blue sky --if every day were like this climatically, the place would be almost habitable -- its' crooked political climate nonwithstanding.

So in deference to Annie's wishes we are going to write a nice, non-critical, barely snarky article.

We are going to post videos of some of our favorite summer songs. Hope you enjoy them.

Here's Frank singing his great 1967 hit, The Summer Wind. In the 60s, when Sinatra wasn't punching out drunken audience hecklers in Las Vegas, he was turning out some great easy listening hits:



OK, I know it's kinda gay, but ABBA's Our Last Summer was really a nice tune:



Here's a pretty good video of Bryan Adam's really great hit from 1984 Summer of '69. Reportedly, the song was not about the chronological year 1969, but about something else:



Here's John Sebastian and the Lovin' Spoonful performing their 1966 hit Summer in the City on what looks like the Ed Sullivan show:



Here's Don Henley's Boys of Summer.

This brings back a flood of memories as it was omnipresent on the airwaves during the summer of 1984. That's when I would hear it on the radio of my great little MGB while driving along the Delaware oceanside with a tall athletic blond from Tennessee named Debbie Roberts who claimed to be related to General Douglas MacArthur and who had worked for then-Congressman Al Gore.

We spent much of that summer eating hardshell crab, drinking beer and making love at Dewey Beach, Delaware, but actually couldn't really stand each other. She once told me that the only really good thing about me was my car. Charming girl, that.



And here, courtesy of The Chicago Schlager Music Review is one of our favorite German performers, Ella Endlich, singing her 2010 release Der Sommer ist Da (The Summer is Here.)

Ella Endlich was born behind the Iron Curtain in Soviet-occupied East Germany in 1984. She has emerged as a mid level pop star in Free Germany and likes to wear 60s-retro attire and perform stuff that sounds like it's straight out of that era, so, you see, we didn't win the Cold War for nothin':



So there you have it. A celebration of beautiful Chicago summer weather with some nice summer songs.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled snarky, hypercritical Chicago Lampoon bloviation.

Where Have All The Fountains Gone? Obama's Economic Miasma at Work

A somewhat poetic journalist of the World War II era wrote of the early 1940's that "the lights have gone out all across Europe."

Despite our $4 a gallon gas and seemingly endless double digit unemployment, that can't be said of Obama's America - yet.

The Legion Park Fountain
in happier times

But it does seem that Obama-era austerity has caused the outdoor fountains to go off all across Northern Chicagoland.

Astoundingly, here, well into summer 2013, the large architectural fountain at Chicago's Legion Park reminds dry for want of repair.

And the same for the fountains at the Leaning Tower YMCA landmark in Niles.

The Legion Park fountain sets at the very corner of Lincoln Ave. and Peterson on Chicago's far north side. It occupies a site that was until recently, the locale of a notorious "no-tell motel" favored mostly by Russian prostitutes and their enthusiastic clientle.

About a decade ago, after one of the emigre ladies-of-the-evening was found stuffed in a suitcase along the adjoining MWRD canal -- quite dead -- the Peterson Park neighbors clamored for its demolition.
The Legion Park Fountain this morning

Mayor Richie Daley complied and had his Chicago Park District erect an enormous fountain there at the gateway to the adjoining Legion Park lands -- on the site of the demolished house of ill repute.

The fountain subsequently became a favorite of dog walkers, whose mutts would chill out in the waters and of burkha-clad South Asian women who used it as a wading pool for their kiddies.

They did this despite the "No swimming or wading sign" because the English language imperialists at the park district did not translate it into Urdu or Gujarati - so the non-English speaking "New Americans" don't know what the hell is going on.

The fountain had also become a favorite of Mexican and Filipino photographers who used it as a cheap backdrop for their wedding party photo shoots.

Most summer weekends you would see blushing third world brides with their entourages, all bedecked in garish finery and cheap shoes, smiling for the birdie in front of the fountain's gushing aquatic output.

But that has all stopped, because the Park District can't afford to fix the damned thing anymore.

And the same has happened at the Niles Leaning Tower YMCA.
No Gushing Water at the
Leaning Tower YMCA this summer


The Y there is fronted by an almost full scale replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

It was built by an eccentric millionaire in the 20's to compliment his elaborate gardens. His estate was purchased by the Y and the Leaning Tower remained as something of a Niles landmark.

But despite getting piles of federal money to house SSI welfare recipients, the Leaning Tower YMCA still has loads of rooms going begging and says it can't afford the upkeep on the gushing fountains.

This is somewhat disconcerting to the hordes of touristas who, almost daily, flock to the tower to snap digital photos to send back home. Presumably they think it might delude the folks back in Keokuk into thinking they actually vacationed to Italy.

But visually, the Niles Tower is almost as good and you are far less likely to have your purse snatched or pockets picked by gaggles of Gypsy children in Niles than in Pisa.

Anyway, it's apparently too costly to fix the damned thing there too, so no spewing waterworks this summer.

In 1919, the United States went dry under the hapless Democrat Woodrow Wilson, when alcoholic prohibition went into force.

Today, with its double digit unemployment and seemingly endless economic miasma, the United States is again, apparently going dry under the hapless Barack Obama.

And wasn't he supposed to be the "infrastructure President?"

Batavia USD 101 Educrats Piss On US Constitution: Teachers Salaries Listed

The Orwellian zeitgeist of the Bush/Obama era seems to have firmly taken hold in suburban Batavia's United School District 101.

Bloviating Bureaucrat Barshinger

No sooner was the ink dry on reports that Obama's NSA has been gathering reams of personal info on millions of Americans, than word comes that Batavia's educrats are asking innocent kids to possibly self-incriminate on an intrusive personal questionnaire.

And when a principled teacher, one John Dryden, dared to characterize this as the patently unconstitutional and anti-American act that it was, he was outrageously disciplined.

The culprit here is one Dr. Jack Barshinger - a very well-fed,  fascist fellow-traveller, who has spent the past 37 years warming various educatic desk chairs in pursuit of his current $286,900 annual salary. (The little butterball will retire at the end of this month and pull down about 80% of that figure every year for the rest of his life in pension.)

He is the Superintendent of USD 101 who threw the book at Batavia High School social studies teacher, John Dryden for daring to suggest that his kids have protected constitutional rights as US citizens.

 Nitwit and Batavia School Bd.
President Cathy Dremel

Barshinger was backed up by the USD School Board, which is headed by the quite deservedly intellectually modest, Cathy Dremel.

When first running for the school Board in 2011, Dremel, who studied bean counting in college, but apparently very little else, told a local newspaper: "My greatest strength is that I don’t think I already know everything."

Truer words were never spoken.

In a nutshell, here's the source of the contretemps:

-- In April, social studies teacher, Dryden, taught his Batavia High School students about the U.S. Bill of Rights.

-- Shortly thereafter Dryden was told to pass out to his kids, a questionnaire which asked them to disclose their personal uses of alcohol or illicit drugs. The names of each student were printed on their individual forms.

-- Dryden was asked by a kid, how this gibed with the 5th amendment, which protects U.S. citizens from having to disclose possibly incriminating information to government authorities, such as USD 101.

-- Quite honestly, Dryden told them it didn't, and advised them to decline to disclose possibly damning information about themselves.
Teacher John Dryden
Enter the bloviating bureaucrat, Barshinger.

He wrote an open  letter to the community saying that the survey was not intrusive, but a well intentioned effort to pinpoint troubled students.

He wrote that it was merely "a data-gathering instrument that could be used to determine what social or emotional issues our high school students are experiencing, and whether individual students could benefit from new or increased supportive intervention by our staff."

In other words, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."

Then Barshinger suspended Dryden without pay and imposed a draconian set of conditions upon him, including a ridiculous requirement that he be subjected to verbal self-criticism techniques, reminiscent of those pioneered by Red Chinese dictator Mao-Tse-Tung's Red Guards.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the civil libertarian teacher must:  "when given a directive in a meeting, he must now repeat the directive back at the end of the meeting and agree to comply."
Batavia's educrats seek to turn out
a generation of compliant sheep


The fat little overpaid martinet, Barshinger, also is demanding that Dryden refrain from making statements or taking any actions that may tend to dissuade students from participating in school district initiatives. Also he can't use sarcasm or comment on his employment status.

On the 28th of May, Cathy Dremel and the other nincompoops on the Batavia School District 101 Board, voted to endorse these measures.

Now let's get this straight. Taxpayer subsidized educational institutions are supposed to be in the business of forging independent minded, critically thinking young American citizens who will be ready to take their place as vital members of a free society.

The whole rotten educational establishment of Batavia USD 101 seems to be in the business of turning out compliant sheep. And of pissing on the Constitution of the United States.

And of persecuting guys like Dryden who think otherwise.

Here are the latest available names and salaries of the employees of Batavia USD 101 as obtained by the Family Taxpayers Foundation via a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Celebrating Diversity in Maywood: 300 "Youths" Riot at Proviso East High School

Interesting news from the Chicago diversity and multiculturalism front  as on May 31st, 300+ predominantly African-American youths rioted on the last day of school.
Just the usual year end hi-jinx as 300
students riot at Proviso East High School

Proviso East High School, in lovely suburban Maywood, was the site of the contretemps, which featured machete wielding girls and innumerable pummelings.

The crack Maywood gendarmes made 10 arrests and all was back to normal after only a few hours of savagery.

As one sagacious Proviso East scholar and melee participant philosophized to NBC-TV news: "It's the end of the year, all the anger builds up, everybody wants to fight, why not everybody fight?

Next May 17th will mark the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Topeka Bd. of Education which forced racial integration of American schools and presumably Proviso East High will have special high spirited commemorative celebrations of this nature planned.

Here is the video report of the Proviso East High School student riot:



Here, by the way, is the Proviso East High School "Vision Statement":

Proviso East Vision Statement

"Proviso East High School is committed to enhancing student learning experiences through collaboration, utilization of best practices, data analysis, and professional development."

Chicago Gays Join Jews and "Nigras" on Democrat Party Plantation

It was actually kind of funny this past weekend to see the boys and girls of the lavender persuasion crying in their beer up and down Halsted Street.

Gays were crying in their beer
on Halsted St. this past weekend

They were morose because, despite their years of slavish devotion to Democrat party pols, those very pols told them to P--Off on the matter of their beloved same-sex marriage.

House Speaker Mike Madigan (Democrat-Chicago) adjourned the State House without even bringing to a vote the same-sex marriage bill.

Well, welcome to the plantation, fellas!

You see, when you are so solidly in one party's pocket - when your bloc vote is so dependably, incontrovertibly and predictably Democrat, the leaders of that party really don't have to give you the time of day.

After you've been demonizing Republicans and conservatives for years in the Windy City Times and elsewhere, just where the hell can you plausibly threaten to go?

Just ask your fellow plantation dwellers the Jews and blacks.
LBJ signing Great Society legislation

Last week the Obama administration cavalierly publicized would-be secret Israeli plans for an anti-missile defense system. American Jews were livid, but who cares?

Jews voted for Barack Hussein Obama's re-election by a landslide margin of 60% so he can tell them to P--off whenever he likes. He and his fellow Dems know that Jews will never leave the Democrat party reservation, so screw them.

Liberal Democrat President, Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the "Great Society" legislation in 1966 -- which gave us Food Stamps, AFDC, and those wonderful public housing projects.

And just prior to the signing, he told fellow Democrat leaders (according to his Texas colleague, Governor John Connally - in his autobiography) "With this bill I'm going to have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 100 years."

Prior to then, American blacks actually voted heavily Republican due to the fact that Southern Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act and out of respect for the fact that the 1st Republican President ever, Abraham Lincoln, freed the slaves.

And of course LBJ was right. His welfare giveaways to blacks bought them off. Last election black voters voted for Obama by almost 95%, so Republicans really don't have to bother courting them -- nor do Democrats. Democrats know that LBJ's "niggers" aren't going to stray from the plantation.

I recall seeing a flyer lying on the sidewalk during the Chicago elections of 2006. It was put out by a gay political action committee and it urged fellow homosexuals to vote against Republican Tony Peraica for Cook County Board President because he was purportedly against gay marriage -- as if the Cook County Board has anything to do with that.

That helped bring us the enlightened leadership of the great Todd Stroger. He raised county sales taxes to the highest of any jurisdiction in the entire USA and ran Cook County into a fiscal quagmire.

Thanks, gay buddies!

Now you've got all those wonderful Democrat liberal pols you've lusted after  all these years and they're telling you to go P--off.

And why shouldn't they? Where the hell can you threaten to go? Face it, boys. Along with the Jews and LBJ's "Nigras" you're stuck on the Democrat plantation.

And the gate is locked.

Maifest Chicago 2013: Celebrating German Culture With the Jesse White Tumblers

The annual springtime celebration of Germanic culture in Chicago, Maifest 2013, will be observed this coming weekend on the North side.
Nothing says "German culture" like
watching Chicago ghetto youths do cartwheels

The German-American ethnic part of the program, which begins at noon on Sunday, will be highlighted by that iconic German-American group, (I am not making this up) The Jesse White Tumblers!

Now I don't know about you, but nothing says "German-American culture" to me more than watching a group of West-side Chicago African-American ghetto kids doing cartwheels and somersaults.

That is, with the possible exception of "5 Lesbians Eating A Quiche."

I bring that up, because the DANK Haus, which is one of the few remaining German-American outfits still left in Chicago, sponsored a theatrical endeavor of that name last year.
The Chicago DANK Haus sponsored
this thespian celebration of lesbian culture

Now what this thespian celebration of lesbian lifestyles has to do with German-American culture, quite escapes me.

Unless it is that the current administrator of the German-American DANK Haus Chicago, the curiously Polish surnamed, Nicholle Dombrowski, somehow reckons that girl-on-girl cunnilingus is as signal a German tradition as Tyrolean slap-dancing or Prussian goose-stepping.

Also, they will have music at Maifest Chicago 2013.

They are featuring a group from Germany named "Phenix." This is one of those dour, bleak, dark, surrealistic electro-pop German duets, the type of which Mike Myers used to lampoon on Saturday Night Live for being so dour, bleak, dark and humorlessly surreal.

Their big hit was a little number called, "I hate the 80s." Not quite "Weird Nun" of the Myers spoofs, but hardly something from "The Sound of Music".

Anyway Mayfest Chicago 2013 will be going on this weekend.

In 2009, the readers of Chicago's newspaper for dummies, the RedEye, voted it the best street festival in Chicago.

Consider the source there.

I can't imagine why Redeye readers would think that standing around on a dingy Chicago street, sipping a tepid $10 German beer from a plastic cup, listening to "Weird Nun" while watching the Jesse White Tumblers would be a German-flavored wild time.

Unless, perhaps, they were serving quiche.

(Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance):

NW Suburban H.S. District 214 Joins Radical Immigrant Lobby: Fat Teachers' Salaries Listed

Apparently the education establishment in Northwest suburban High School District 214 thinks their taxpayers aren't burdened enough already by the bloated salaries they shell out to their teachers.
 
They also now have become the only Illinois School District to join the radical illegal immigration activist group, ICIRR, which is lobbying for passage of the U.S. Senate's amnesty plan for illegal immigrants.

That bill will guarantee welfare benefits to the millions of illegal squatters who are here, and, incidentally, ensure a steady supply of new child fodder for Township District 214's very highly paid ESL teachers.

The amnesty bill, which Township District 214, as part of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, is pushing, would, according to a Heritage Foundation study, cost U.S. taxpayers a whopping $6.3 trillion in welfare, education and other costs.

But hey, when you're shoveling out bloated salaries to teachers and administrators like the Northwest suburban HS District 214, what's a little more taxpayer cash?

Here are the latest available names and salaries of employees of High School District 214, which were obtained by the Family Taxpayers Foundation via a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

The salaries and names listed are those of the employees of the Buffalo Grove High School, The Elk Grove High School, the John Hersey High School, the Prospect High School, the Rolling Meadows High School and the Wheeling High School, as well as the Forest View Alternative School, the Newcomer Center and the Vanguard School.

In most cases, the salaries are for 9 months of work. You can click on the individual teacher's name to obtain further data, such as teaching speciality and years of employment:

Muslims Hack British Soldier To Death, Riot in Sweden, Demand US Immigration Bill

Just as our sage solons in Washington were reporting out the immigration amnesty bill from the Senate Judiciary Committee, Europe was basking in the joys of multiculturalism with Muslims hacking off British heads and burning down Swedish suburbs.
Muslims riot for 3rd straight night
 in Swedish multicultural idyll

Two black African Muslims yesterday, targeted a British soldier for brutal execution because he was wearing a tee shirt supporting a military children's charity.

While invoking the name of the Muslim god, allah, they hacked him to death in broad daylight on a London street.

Meanwhile in that progressive socialist idyll, Sweden, Muslims began burning down Stockholm suburbs and throwing rocks at responding firefighters.

Nonplussed by these events, the Chicago-based Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) was busy making sure that our two lefty U.S. Senators, Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk, stayed on the reservation to vote for the Senate bill which will massively increase legal immigration while also amnestying the illegal squatters.

Oh, and did you know that the ICIRR immigration pimp group includes the radical Council on American Islamic Relations, the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, the Arab American Action Network, the Iraqi Mutual Aid Society, the Mosque Foundation, and the Muslim Women Resource Center(now there's a group you've got to party with sometime)?

So soon we too will be able to more fully enjoy the multiculturalist wonders of a massive Moslem population in our midst.

Just like London, Stockholm and Boston.

Here is an actual video where the muslim murderer, with blood stained machete in his hands and his Christian victim lying dead in the background, speaks to a reporter:

Northwestern Prof. Gary Alan Fine to Sex Abuse Survivors: "Let it Rest"

I've always thought that as a supposed "social science,"  sociology is to science what "performance art" is to art or what "health food" is to food.

Gary Alan Fine
Pretty unsubstantial stuff.


Undergraduate sociology classes usually consist of little more than bull sessions on current events punctuated by some statistical mumbo-jumbo so that the professorial bull session leaders can justify their $190k annual salaries.

That is why on most campuses, sociology classes are what students quite unscientifically refer to "easy A's."

Most sociology professors are little more than blithering idiots and left-wingers to boot, but that of course is redundant.

So I was not at all surprised when the esteemed Northwestern sociology professor, Gary Alan Fine, came out last month and said that sexual molestation of students by teachers was an expected and quite forgivable way of life in the 60s and 70s.

He also said that the victims of such would be "unseemly" to pursue revenge or justice.

Buggery of students by teachers was
said to be endemic at the Horace Mann School

Fine said this on the pages of the April Fools Day edition of the New Yorker magazine, but he apparently uttered that complete gibberish with a straight face.

He was commenting on the sexual molestation scandal at his preparatory alma mater, the Horace Mann School.

The Horace Mann School is an elite, largely Jewish and outlandishly pricey private school located in Manhattan.

It has been rocked by accusations that during the 60s, 70s and 80s, sexual molestation of students by faculty was common and frequent and covered up by school administrators.

Most of the allegations center around buggery of boys when the school was an all male bastion. The school went co-ed in '77 and since then at least one female student has alleged having been raped (in 1980) by a male Horace Mann teacher.

In the New Yorker's voluminous article on the controversy, many of the allegations center on an HM English teacher, Robert Berman.
Alleged RMS serial molester Robert Berman
was Gary Alan Fine's English teacher

Berman is said to have been a domineering, control freak who psychologically manipulated vulnerable students into performing homosexual acts with him.

Northwestern's Gary Alan Fine was a 1968 graduate of Horace Mann and one of Berman's students which is why the New Yorker asked him for his two cents on the matter.

In the article, Fine accepts that Berman’s accusers are telling the truth, but worries that the Horace Mann teachers are being judged by the standards of a different time.

“This was the late sixties, and what we now think of as rape or sexual assault didn’t quite mean the same thing in that age of sexual awakening,” Fine said. “What some teachers did was wrong, absolutely, but there are degrees of wrongness, and what was wrong in 1966 is today much more wrong.

“I can’t imagine that in the late nineteen-sixties anyone would have been terribly surprised had they learned that some faculty were having sexual relations with students. Most would not have thought it good, but it was the way of the world.”

WTF?????!!!!!

This was a time when even consenting homosexual acts were illegal in most states. It was a time when the American Psychological Association listed homosexuality as a certifiable mental disorder.
Larry Fine

It was a time when social conventions would not allow things like the F-word in movies and Bob and Laura Petrie, although married, could not be shown on TV as having a double bed.

And crack social scientist Fine is telling us that parents of that era would shell out thousands of dollars for private school tuition, fully expecting that the hired help would be buggering their boys and raping their daughters?

And get this -- Fine tells the victims of the molestation to just let bygones be bygones:

“Even if they did something wrong, at some point revenge or justice becomes unseemly. At what point do you say, ‘Let it rest’?” Fine said.

Oh, by the way, according to the article one of the alleged victims of sexual abuse at the Horace Mann School, on March 10, 1976, hung himself in his parents' basement.

Another victim committed suicide in 2009.

But Fine says, let bygones be bygones.

Is this clown at Northwestern named Gary Allen Fine --- or Larry Fine?

Feminist Boycott of Bimbo Foods?

Imagine my astonishment when I recently walked in  to my local panaderia and saw a loaf of bread with the name "Bimbo" boldly emblazoned on the package.
Grupo Bimbo brand logo

Now bimbo, as you know, is a pejorative term for women or girls. More precisely, according to Webster's, bimbo means: An attractive but empty-headed young woman, esp. one perceived as a willing sex object.

In my barhopping, picking-up-girls days, my friend Gary would pause at the entrance to a crowded club, take one look at the profusion of nubile young things populating the dance floor and exclaim, "Bimbos galore!!"

In fact, some of my most intimate friends during that benighted era were bimbos, but I digress.

Bimbo is a term insulting to a full 52% of the population and in these sensitive times, it has no place on bread bags and bakery delivery trucks.

Now true, the Mexican corporation that manufactures the bread, Grupo Bimbo Inc., does not put a picture of a bimbo on its packages. It puts a picture of something that looks like the Mexican version of the Pillsbury doughboy.

But that still does not make it right.
There actually was a product with this name

If I started marketing a tobacco and I called it "Niggerhair," would it be OK if I put a picture of, say, a yak or a Koala bear, under the logo?

You bet your life it wouldn't be and the PC police would send out a lynch mob for me.

So how does Grupo Bimbo Inc. get away with this?

Some years back, an Indian corporation was marketing a product called "Darkie" toothpaste, complete with a drawing of a Steppin' Fetchit styled black man on the package.

Amid howls of protest, they had to change their name to "Darlie" and changed the package drawing to a person of indeterminate race.

Now Grupo Bimbo has a whole section of their corporate website devoted to a discussion of corporate "Social Responsibility." Among other things it says, "At Grupo Bimbo, we consider Corporate Social Responsibility to be a guide for our day-to-day actions."

The PC police forced "Darkie" brands
 to change their name to "Darlie"

Well if that is so, they should start by changing their name to something less demeaning to American women.

Since Grupo Bimbo now wants to do business in our country, the Mexican corporate honchos should have the "cultural sensitivity" to understand that "Bimbo" means something different here than it does South of the Border.

Otherwise they might find their stores getting picketed by outraged feminists.

And let me help right here by suggesting the name for this movement.

How about, "Bimbos against Bimbo"?

O'Hare Goats Unfair to Illegal Immigrant Landscapers

Word today that, as part of its effort to "go green", the Chicago Department of Aviation has (I am not making this up) decided to employ goats in its pilot vegetation-management program at O'Hare International airport.

As PETA says: "Goats are people too."

Beginning next month, a herd of goats will prowl the areas between runways and graze on the dense brush that grows there.

The goats, of course, require no fossil fuels to do their landscaping work and have the added green benefit of making their own compost.

Now this, of course, is very bad news for the illegal aliens who dominate the landscaping industry here in Chicago and elsewhere.

Any minute now, I expect the illegal alien pimps at the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) to begin howling in protest. They'll no doubt soon be out at the Daley Center with placards proclaiming: Goats Unfair to Undocumented Workers!!

But to that I say: Too Bad.

These goats are just doing jobs that illegal aliens won't do. The illegal aliens will not cut the grass along runways using only their teeth and they will not turn the grass clippings into very useful poop.

So I say, let's start trading in all of our illegal alien grass cutters for goats.

They are a helluva lot cheaper and far more eco-friendly.

And we can even legislate these goats their very own "path to citizenship."

Because as PETA so adroitly puts it: "Goats are people too."

On Burying Moslems With Pig Guts

Word today that they're having a devil of a time finding a cemetery to allow the burial of Moslem terrorist, Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
Moslem Murderer Tsarnaev

Seems the proprietors of several Boston area boneyards aren't thrilled with the prospect of having to tell their cash paying customers that their Aunt Matilda is planted right next to the debonair Chechnyan zealot.

What is interesting is that this mass murderer is being afforded all the dignities of burial according to his Islamic religious customs. The ghouls who do such things are ritually washing and mumbling Moslem mumbo-jumbo over his carcass.

There was a time in American history when leaders had the wherewithal to dispense with such dignities when dealing with crazed Moslems.

We're talking here about U.S. General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing who in 1911 buried Philippine Moslem terrorists with pig's blood and porcine intestines.
General Pershing didn't
coddle Moslem copses


The decisive military leader who would later command the victorious U.S. forces in World War I, was not one for coddling the corpses of Moslem terrorists.

Pershing captured 6 terrorists who had gone on the usual Moslem murder spree of infidels.

He tied them to posts for execution. He then brought in 2 pigs and had them slaughtered in front of the devout adherents of Allah. He pointedly had the firing squad dip their bullets in the pig's blood and mentioned to the condemned that they would be planted in Allah's acre, awash in pig blood and guts.

Area Moslems got wind of this and for the next several decades there was a notable absence of the usual Islamic hijinx on the Philippine archipelago.

You see, devout Moslems have a peculiar belief that if they are touched by anything relating to a pig at the time of death, they won't get to enjoy their 72 virgins in the Islamic conception of heaven.

So if, say, someone were to sneak into the morgue where this Moslem maniac's body is being pampered and accidentally spilled some pork plasma on his murderous cadaver, and say, word of the dastardly deed were to leak out -- it might give future crazed Moslems reason for pause.

Just thinking out loud here.
