Leftward, ho, even with Daley around

Michelle Obama 2008-10-22 (2)
Mrs. O. has a soul mate?

This may be a bit of comfort food for the angry, radical left soul of Michelle Obama, who advised students to shun the world of business. We know about Chicago’s Bill Daley . . .

Meanwhile, flying under the radar, is the appointment of Tina Tchen, another Chicagoan, as Michelle Obama’s chief-of-staff. Tchen is a hard leftist.

An acquaintance of hers told me (with a bit of exaggeration, I assume) that Tchen makes Dennis Kucinich look like a right-wing extremist.

According to sources, when Tchen practiced law as a partner at a big Chicago firm [Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom], she was the scourge of more than one associate unfortunate enough to have made his or her conservative views known.

Remember, says Bill of PowerLine Blog, “hard leftists” still “prowl” the White House, even if Bill Daley does not fit the description.

The (publicly employed) people’s choices

These Chicago aldermanic candidates have a major public-employee-union endorsement, Early & Often tells us:

8th Ward: Michelle Harris
12th: George Cardenas
18th: Chuks Onyezia
19th: Matt O’Shea
24th: Sharon Denise Dixon
28th: Jason Ervin
30th: Ariel Reboyras
36th: John Rice
47th: Eugene Schulter
50th: Debra Silverstein

American Fed of State, County, & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) is the union.  It has the best interests at heart of all Chicagoans, employed by state, county or municipality or not.  You doubt that?

It had earlier endorsed these candidates:

1st: Proco “Joe” Moreno
2nd: Robert Fioretti
3rd: Pat Dowell
4th: Will Burns
5th: Leslie Hairston
6th: Freddrenna Lyle
7th: Sandi Jackson [wife of Rep. Jesse J. Jr.]
15th: Toni Foulkes
16th: JoAnn Thompson
20th: Willie Cochran
22nd: Ricardo Munoz
27th: Walter Burnett
29th: Deborah Graham
32nd: Scott Waguespack
35th: Rey Colon
38th: Tim Cullerton
45th: Marina Faz-Huppert
48th: Harry Osterman
49th: Joe Moore

That makes 29 of 50 aldermen, a clear majority for the Chicago city council, assuming they all win, as it careens toward budget-deciding in a time of looming financial catastrophe.  Aren’t you glad you live there, you Chicagoans, you Cook Countyans, you Illinoisans?

Can’t keep a good tea party down . . .

They shall not, They shall not, They shall not be moved.  . . .

Chicago Tea Partiers return to the scene of the crime for their “We Will Not Be Silenced Do-Over Christmas & New Year Party” Friday, January 7th, at Dugan’s Irish Bar, 128 South Halsted Street in Chicago, 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Dugan’s ——————————————^^^—————————————–

The crime has a somewhat better telling here . . . .

ARSON AT CHRISTMAS PARTY
We were the target of an arson Friday at our Christmas Party.  . . . .
. . . .  Detectives from the Chicago Bomb and Arson Department informed me that four devices, which appeared to be roadside flares, were taped together and left lit and smoldering in the trash can of the men’s bathroom. On the lid of the toliet seat, written in red, it read:  F#CK THE CHICAGO TEA PARTY

Bomb and arson police have deemed this an arson and are now investigating.  . . . .

Because the devices were left in the bathroom it will be difficult to deduce who is the offender from videos and because nobody was killed or harmed (thankfully), fingerprints will not be processed for anywhere from six months to a year.  However, if an offender is found, they will be charged with a felony.

The Machine tried to shut us down, but we will not be silenced!  Their goal with Friday’s arson is to silence us. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!

Let’s show our Christmas spirit and New Year hopes and raise a pint to FREEDOM!
Thank you for your support and faith! . . .  without you socialism would thrive.
As we celebrate the birth of Baby Jesus, I wish you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas!  Let the Light Shine!

“To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race,” President Calvin Coolidge.

“The historical experience of socialist countries has sadly demonstrated that collectivism does not do away with alienation but rather increases it, adding to it a lack of basic necessities and economic inefficiency,” Pope John Paul II.

Anarchists go to the toilet

Police memorial in Haymarket Square
Somebody threw a bomb

Uh-oh, I had this Tea Party event pencilled in for a while and might have been using this fixture:

Last Friday we held our downtown Christmas Party at Dugan’s Irish Pub [128 S. Halsted, “The only Irish pub in Greektown”].

We had a great crowd and the bar was filled with Christmas cheer until smoke began to fill the entire venue.

At approximately 8 p.m. the Chicago Fire Department were called to the bar to put out what was a very smoke filled bar.

After waiting outside for nearly an hour, we were told that the bar was closed for the night and we were asked to gather our belongings.

There were four small dynamite looking devices found in the men’s bathroom, smoldering in the trash can.

The following evening I received a phone call from Chicago Police Department Bomb and Arson officials.

Written on the lid of one of the toliets were: F*CK THE TEA PARTY.

Not far from Haymarket Square.
