Chicago Daily Observer

Happy New Year 2009! Ten years ago on January 9th, 1999, Chicago Police Officers John Knight and James Butler investigated a suspiciously running parked car with two men slumped over in the front seat. The two men were Vice Lords Gang members armed with at least one 9mm Ruger Automatic pistol with a laser directed sight.

A gun battle ensued and Officer John Knight was murdered by James Scott of the Vice Lords and Knight’s partner James Butler was badly wounded. James Scott was allowed to plead guilty to another murder and is serving a life sentence. John Knight’s widow and three children are on their own.

Scott has been featured by the nimble fingered writers who get all warm and toasty about human beings when their subjects are soulless monsters like Scott. Left-wing lawyers and the University based 501c3 think tanks and Centers for Justice embrace the wicked and ... Read More...

Junior muckrakers and tin-horn Wiley Act of 1906 Progressives have once again made war on small, business owners in an act o’concern’ that people will eat or ingest products that might be harmful to them.

With alarmist prose and stats and regulations awash in their slop bucket, Sam Roe and Ted Gregory assaulted my grocery store County Fair in Morgan Park – the Tribune cites it as Beverly; fair enough my kids like to pretend that they live in Beverly as well . Fact is West of Western Ave and North of 107th Street marks Morgan Park.

Here is Upton Roe’s and Ted Sinclair’s public service warning to one and all:

“Chicago-area supermarkets, gourmet shops and bakeries routinely sell mislabeled products that pose a danger to those with food allergies, according to Tribune testing and a comprehensive check of grocery aisles.

When informed of the findings, more than a dozen ... Read More...

Arne Duncan plays basketball, fills a great Hart/Marx Worsted Wool and Cotton Blend and does exactly what his betters tell him to think, do and say. Paul Vallas improved schools and that is why he is in New Orleans. Arne Duncan is headed for D.C. and Rufus Williams, Oprah’s Foundation former watchdog and current CPS School President will ease into Arne’s Johnson and Murphy gunboats.

This is Change I Expected!

Arne Duncan’s resume begins and ends with his lifelong friendship to John Rogers. John Rogers runs Ariel Capital Management. John Rogers placed his ex-wife Desiree Rogers into the lucrative position of Illinois Lotto Ball Tosser and then President of Peoples Gas and then State Farm Something or Other and now White House Social Director by dint of his managing Capital. Ariel Capital Management and John Rogers make kings and White House Appointees – ask Barack Obama. Ask Mayor Daley. ... Read More...

What made Mona Lisa smile? What’s the Sphinx think? Is Poker Great Johnny Chang holding trip deuces or four . . . ?

Wait and find out. Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, the only adult political leader working south of I-80, has plans to right the train wreck that is Illinois State Government and the Chicago Media are huffing and rolling their faun-like eyes in desperation to ‘Know!’

Knowledge is power and the Illinois Media’s collective wisdom could not engender enough of a maelstrom of information to flatulate itself into general consciousness – ‘Blagojevich should not have been endorsed by our newspapers or Concerned Illinois Voting Progressive Coalitions! My God! What have we unleashed upon the Common Weal? Oh, well; we’ll forget about all that! Fiddle Dee Dee, Ashley Wilkes!’

Nope. Many in the Illinois Media, the Independent Voters if Illinois, The Progressive Voters, and the WTTW/NPR Listeners (both ... Read More...

The thickest part of the Federal Criminal Complaint against Gov. Blagojevich and his Chief of Staff seems to be getting short shrift from the Progressive Chicago Media. While the huffing and ‘Land’s Sakes!’ by media types surrounds the Cubs, Blago’s war on John McCormick ( God Bless Him!), and the odious attempted intimidation of Children’s Memorial Hospital, SEIU – the PAC that dresses up as a Labor Union – seems to go unnoticed despite the fact that it’s part in the complaint laid out by Prosecutor Fitz is the thickest.
Thus, from the Federal Complaint:
Later on November 5, Blagojevich said to Advisor A, “I’ve got this thing and it’s [expletive] golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for [expletive] nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there,” the affidavit states.

Black on White Crime is Neither Racist Nor Reported in Chicago

Beverly/Morgan Park/Mount Greenwood neighborhoods are in Chicago Police District # 22.

This neighborhood and its people have been smeared as racist by Mary Mitchell, Mark Brown and Neil Steinberg in the Chicago Sun Times on many occasions. This neighborhood is mostly white and Catholic and home to many, many police and fire families.

This neighborhood is considered safe, because the people here do not perpetuate crimes on one another – there are the odd fisticuffs by beer muscled American Youth on Western Ave. but very few far between. No one gets lit-up by 9mm automatics.

However there are many crimes perpetrated upon the residents of these neighborhoods ( Listed in Every Block linked below) by residents of other communities – black criminals feel safe assaulting and robbing white people on the streets and black criminals feel Thug Comfortable enough ...

A Review of Rose Keefe’s Crime Bio- The Starker.

Rose Keefe pours on the gas from the first sentence. ‘As Jacob Goldberg rounded the corner of Forty-ninth Street and Madison Avenue, the last person he expected to encounter on the bustling sidewalk was his old partner in crime, Harry Smith. Jacob considered himself to be a hard-working and law-abiding citizen these days, but his teenage years had included some wilder moments, and Harry had been an instigator of most of them. Seeing him now aroused portions of nostalgia and uneasiness.’

Rose Keefe writes vigorous prose when her razor-sharp mind cuts through layers of fat-headed assumptions. Everyone assumed that Dion ‘Dean’ O’Banion, the beer baron gunned down by Johnny Torrio’s thugs in a Chicago Flower shop was an off- the –boat Irish mobster; that George ‘Bugs’ Moran was an Irish American hitter whose north side mob challenged Al Capone and inspired ...

You Go, Andy! That’s Andy Shaw as natural as he gets and a City Hall insider by the name of Buck DaMedea!

Now this goof Andy Shaw is a walking metaphor for Chicago’s Media Elite! You really need to work at it 24/7 to be this stupid and Andy is no clock watcher!

True story, this one! Remember Terry Teele, Mayor Daley’s go-to-guy on all things Planning and Development? Get this.

When Terry Teele was forced to resign from his position in Daley’s Office, I happened to be sitting in the Planning and Development waiting room – a breathless Andy Shaw Charged In – ‘The Teele resignation – I’M here!’

The lovely middle aged black woman informed this Profound Newshound – ‘Fifth Floor, Sir. Mr. Teele works on the Fifth Floor. We are on the 10th Floor?’

Let’s understand one thing. In this country, you are free to speak your mind. Thus, it would be a great service to any and all auditors within the sound of your voice, or coming across a text of yours that you actually have something to say.

If one’s inability to actually articulate a point is hallmark of your feature, be assured that any utterance is no where near good enough; unless of course you are an employee of the Chicago Sun Times, a member of the Editorial Board of the Chicago Tribune or one of the vast array of leftists posting for SEIU, or a George Soros Enterprise.

National Review’s Byron York quoted a McCain Campaign aide in this morning’s perspective on Sen. John McCain’s landslide loss to President-Elect Barack Obama.
York’s essay is interesting

A few weeks before the election, a top McCain aide gave me the campaign’s inside view of the situation. “You could think of this as trying to summit a mountain,” he said. “Both campaigns have to summit the mountain. In most elections, one campaign has some kind of advantage over the other — maybe they get a ten-minute or a half-hour head start — but both sides have to climb the same face of the mountain. In this election, we’re not climbing the same face of the mountain. They’re climbing the side of the mountain with boardwalks and latte stands and playgrounds for the kids, and we’re climbing the side of the mountain with axes and ice picks and one slip and ...

“By the end of the week, he’ll be accusing me of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in kindergarten. I shared my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.” Senator Barack Obama

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/10/29/politics/fromtheroad/entry4556317.shtml

No Senator, that is called charity – the act of giving. It is an individual thing. You give your peanut butter sandwich to someone else.

Giving is what America’s Veterans are all about. When they were 17 or 18 years old, like Senator John McCain was when he entered Annapolis, these kids gave themselves body and soul to their Country.

Many of them went to war. The men and women who fought WWII are dying at a rate of 1,500 souls per day. The Veterans of Korea are stepping into their boots, along with the Veterans of Vietnam, Desert Storm, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Somalia, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan. They are making sure that ... Read More...

I don’t get it. Why would Neil Steinberg help Mary Mitchell portray a neighborhood (Mount Greenwood) as the last Bunker of the Third Reich, much less Archie?

This summer, Mary Mitchell crafted a story about Mount Greenwood chock full of racists, dogs and armed hostile police – The Mount Greenwood Seven. Trouble is there is no evidence ( no links; no archived columns and accounts) that Mount Greenwood Elementary School was ever under siege by racists for months back in the 1960’s, requiring a deployment of hundreds of Chicago Police, when seven black 8th graders were transferred there. Nuanced and compelling.

It made a nice ‘We survived Racists and Achieved!’ story.

However, today, a guy that I really like as a columnist, Neil Steinberg presented a strong . . . . maybe it is meant to be satire, but satire is meant to tweak the powerful. The people who live ... Read More...

In a World Dominated by Sanctimonious Phonies, The Chicago Sun Times Leads the Way! Apologies to Cardinal George – This One is On Me!

Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on “I am not too sure.” H.L. Mencken

That was a journalist. Now, here is the opposite of Mencken.

In an ideal world, the archdiocese could assist its sexually abusive priests, after they served their time in prison, by insisting on rigorous counseling, intensive ... Read More...

Expect non-stop ‘all Burge all the time’ from the hard hitting cadre of investigative journalists and opinion slingers.

TV News Nitwits will adjust the odd comb-over and honey-do tresses and get all steely eyed.

Remember Millionaire Lefty Lawyer G. Flint Taylor (long time pal of Billy Ayers they go WAAAAY back!) brokered this Burge Story. He was last heard from while being sued by Urban Translator and Repentant Gang-banger Emeritus Wallace Gator Bradley, late of the Queen’s Own Gangster Disciples. G. Flint will no doubt want his cut, Tribune and STNG. He had to wrestle the Gator to keep his Burge Boodle!

Our own home grown newshounds could not pick up on the fact that Paul Vallas might have been a great person to call regarding Obama/Ayers Annenberg Playtime. It took a New York Post story to awaken the Nuanced Eric Zorn. They have awakened a sleeping Pygmy!

Denny Gannon! Welcome to school! The Tribune – a great and long-time friend of Labor is rewarding you for playing ball with the people who are hell-bent on destroying the skilled trades unions – The Good Folks of Redistribution of Wealth! Mr. Gannon, You and all skilled tradesmen are the goat that will be sacrificed. Collective Bargaining is not what Andy Stern calls ‘thinking out of the box.’ The Media – The Sun Times and Chicago Tribune have identified LABOR as whatever Andy Stern and SEIU decide labor to be and Real Labor will head to the Tar-Pits, while wages and benefits will become determined by legislation.

Barack Obama told a tax-burdened plumber over the weekend that his economic philosophy is to “spread the wealth around”—a comment that may only draw fire from riled-up John McCain supporters who have taken to calling Obama a “socialist” at the Republican’s rallies.

Obama made the remark, caught on camera, after fielding some tough questions from the plumber Sunday in Ohio, where the Democratic candidate canvassed neighborhoods and encouraged residents to vote early.

“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed “more and more for fulfilling the American dream.”

“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too,” Obama responded. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good ... Read More...

Ray Coffey covered the Vietnam War for nearly three years in the 1960s, marching through swamps with U.S. soldiers and winning journalism awards in the process. ( from Chicago Sun Times) Click my post title for the tribute to Ray Coffey.

Mr. Ray Coffey was a great friend to the kids of Leo High School for whom he always had time – to listen.

God bless you Holly Coffey! God bless all of your kids! God Bless the heart of Ray Coffey that made his ear the organ and conduit of truth in Chicago Journalism.

Ray Coffey ‘gave his ears a chance.’ That rule is lost on too many of us who want to hear the sounds of our own voices rather than articulate a means to bring people together. In America’s most divisive war – Vietnam – Ray Coffey turned his ears to voices of the kids taking the ... Read More...

Obama is rooted to William Ayers and his political ascendancy owes more to Ayers than it does to the urban myth – Obama as Chicago Machine Politician. Obama is no more a Democratic Machine Politician than Tony Rezko is a philanthropist, or the Chicago Sun Times is a newspaper.

For all the protestations from Obama’s journalists – worldwide – there has never been a serious inquiry, much less valuable study of William Ayers and his dangerous influence upon Obama by any Mainstream Media -including the cut-and-paste work of Sean Hannity.

The front page of the Chicago Tribune features a nude painting done by a 69 year old artist – who employed his daughter as a model for Governor Palin. The Chicago Tribune editorial geeks are solidly behind Senator Obama. Along with the cork-screwing Sun Times, the Tribune engages in a daily beatdown of McCain or Palin. No big deal really as no one in Chicago seems to pay much attention to the Chicago editorial dweebs and pencil-necks who tend to live in lily-white suburbs while celebrating diversity.

With all the news that the Chicago Tribune is not covering – Tony Rezko, Willliam Ayers and their long and close associations with Senator Obama; another murdered Chicago Police Officer; multiple killings and shootings on the south and west sides; a moronic Governor bankrupting the State; Public Schools looting the budget and world wide terrorism; the editorial snobs decided to be edgy.

You want wild; You want edgy; You want a Cynthia McKinney to read over the Cruller and Coffee; You want Mary Mitchell!

Mary Mitchell and Green POTUS candidate Cynthia McKinney will give you a wild, edgy perspective on anything. McKinney is a 9/11 theorist, demands that the sealed records on the late Tupac Shakur become public, called the impeachment of G.W.Bush, and is a cop hater. Here Congressional District tossed McKinney, who was no Zell Miller, and McKinney found a snug fit in the Green Party.

The Chicago Sun Times eight-sixed edgy and wild editor Cheryl Reed when the Chicago newspaper took a seventy degree plunge in sales last year. However, the main mast for edgy, wild, perspective of columnist Mary Mitchell keeps the course.

The 2nd Battalion, 24th Marines were escorted from Midway Airport to the All State Arena in DesPlaines, IL by hundreds of motorcycle bikers of the Patriot Guard Riders from all over Chicago Land. The bus bearing Fox Company with Morgan Park/Beverly ( St. Barnabas Parish) native Ryan Nolan broke down on 294 four miles south of the River Road exit. Patriot Guard Riders assisted Illinois State Police Troopers in maintaining the steady flow of traffic to O’Hare.

The Bikers were not necessarily family, but most shared the experiences of the young people aboard the buses – the Bikers were guys in their late fifties and Sixties and almost all sported Vietnam and Gulf Storm insignia as well as patches identifying them as sailors, soldiers, airmen and many, many Marines.

Patriot Guard Riders helped families keep idiots away from funerals of fallen Iraq War Heroes – Westboro Baptist Cult led by ... Read More...

The Tribune updated its story on the death this summer of Curtis Cooper and the complicity of the property managers United Property Advisors (UPA)that is raking in millions of dollars from the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA).

Yesterday, August 12, 2008, Francis Cardinal George settled with the victims of priest/cleric abuse in the amount of $12.6 million dollars. The Chicago Tribune reported that story. The Sun Times, like the little fat punk who watches two tough guys fight and then rekindles the violence with taunts to each combatant, intends to milk this issue.

The horror of the abuse is too monstrous to imagine. Catholics are all too aware of the damage inflicted by monsters in stiff collars and vestments who hid behind canon law, the majesty of the Catholic Church and the protocols of the hierarchy, the trust of the faithful and innocence of children in order to lunge out and sodomize babies.
The victims, for the most part (there have been a couple of dubious claimants here and there), deserve every tiny bit of monetary and legal compensation – nothing can restore the damage to ... Read More...

“What are we paying him for? Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, arguably the most powerful Democrat in the state, takes home $95,000 a year but refuses to sit down with the governor.” Sun Times Editorial July31, 2008

The jerk who has had a happy hour fueled night of entitlement floors his Jaguar through traffic and is eventually pulled over by a police officer for violating public safety and the Laws. The officer is treated to ‘Don’t you have anything better to do? How’s the murder rate? Hey, I pay your salary. How about catching some real criminals?’

Teachers, who have given young Rachel a B- in Honors English, hear this as well –‘What am I paying you for?’

Rev. Senator Meeks of Illinois plans to bus thousands of truant CPS students* to Winnetka’s New Trier School District and enroll them in the affluent northern suburb.

Sheriff Tom Dart and The Cook County Jail took a 98 page study ( prepared, indexed, rolled and greased with warmed up left-overs from the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board, University of Chicago MacArthur Center for Justice, Chicago Magazine, and the usual assortment of lawsuit addicted lefty lawyers and, it seems Commissioner Quigley) from Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the shorts this past week.

A few years back, The Chicago Tribune and the usual suspects listed above took a long sprint at Sheriff Michael Sheehan with a series of ‘heart-tugging tales’ from prisoners and diappointed Correctional Employees and had their efforts tossed by a jury in about twenty minutes.

The Tribune’s ‘investigative’ efforts were laughed out of court by the jury and the lawyer most linked to the case against Sheehan was a nano-second away from charges of impropriety for tipping prison gangs about finding just the right time to riot ... Read More...

Mary Mitchell pulls another little race-baiting scab in Sunday’s Chicago Sun Times to remind whites that they are evil mean nasty haters and to pump up the Maywood reunion of the Mt. Greenwood Seven,

There’s a Mt. Greenwood Seven Eleven at 111th and Kedzie on the Northeast Side of the Street, but Mary invents the Mt. Greenwood Seven as new Civil Rights Icons. Seven black children who attended Mt. Greenwood Elementary School from February until June ( I guess) in 1968.

In 1968, I was working at Gee Lumber which was at 79th Street & Western Ave. behind Sharko’s and Quigley South ( now St. Rita of Cascia – which was at 63rd and Claremont – see?) Things do change.. I remember quite a bit from that time, but nothing about Selma in Mt. Greenwood.

Chicago's Media Incumbents do not see any connections between Curtis Cooper's crushed little body and the tons of Progressive Chicago Clout that helped unhinge the truth. There is nothing more heart-breaking than the death of a child due to an accident.

Most Chicagoans know nothing of Charles Chinquy. Most Chicagoans have probably forgotten Pastor George Stallings, a one-time Catholic priest and mentor of Pastor Mike Pfleger. Most Chicagoans know Pastor Pfleger, who returns to his Faith Community of St. Sabina flock on Monday, June 16th, after being given a forced leave by Francis Cardinal George, Archbishop of Chicago.

Today the Chicago Tribune tells one and all that Pastor Pfleger was disciplined for political reasons – speaking disparagingly of Senator Hillary Clinton. The Tribune writes, “latest transgression: talking about the wrong thing, in the wrong place, with a preaching style—honed in the back pews of black churches—that some Catholics found unsettling.”
There was much more. Pastor Pfleger angered people, not so much with his barbs against Senator Clinton but the hostility and race-baiting fervor imbued throughout his sermon. Pastor Pfleger’s target it seems was white America and not Senator Clinton per ... Read More...

News like it almost happened

Cathleen Falsani Religion Editor of the Chicago Sun Times had this to say about Benson ‘Time Out.’

There’s something painfully ironic about Cedric’s (if temporary) ouster.

He’s been thumbing his nose at authority—secular and sacred—for years in pursuit of what he believes God has called him to do: fight for the poor yardage and the press coverage; battle injustice in whatever form it appears to taxing him at the moment, be it racism, sexism, or classicism; and to above all present the God of revolutionary love and radical grace to the world around him like he did when those cracker Texas Gomers boarded his boat. That sometimes has meant disobeying civil and Man law.

Benson has been arrested several dozen times over the last five weeks for civil disobedience. He’s taken on drug dealers aboard his boat, big alcohol content while driving, the tobacco products ... Read More...

Father Pfleger has the Chicago Sun Times which helped create the character screaming all over You Tube, going flat-out to help save his Public Life.

Instead of going to the Catholic Parishes that Pfleger routinely smears as racist and offering a true apology, The Real Pfleger sniffled to his flock that he has received 3,000 hateful e-mails ( Is that All?) over his disgracefully racist rant at Trinity. He said he has received ‘Death Threats,’ which he should have reported to the Chicago Police Department – that group of brave men and women that he calls a ‘systemically racist’ army of occupation.

The Chicago Sun Times, a dying fool itself. offers this from Pastor Pfleger’s Apology.

Martin Luther High School, Home of the Spartans, in Greendale Wisconsin was the site of Senator John McCain’s Straight-Talk Express Town Hall Meeting. In south suburban Milwaukee, Martin Luther High School stands as a tribute to people who value Faith-based education as a choice over America’s declining public schools that call for greater tax burdens to shore up declining performance.
Martin Luther High School is associated with the Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod and is not a School Choice high school as it is situated outside of Metro Milwaukee.
I traveled to Greendale to ask Senator John McCain about his campaign’s leadership in Education reform with its emphasis on asking the States to push School Choice initiatives, especially vouchers.
A crowd of about 2,000 people were gathered to welcome the Straight Talk Express and Martin Luther High School students acted as ushers and facilitators. They were mature, helpful, ... Read More...

Larry Johnson, a rock-ribbed Hillary Clinton supporter, has pulled together some of the finest and most reasoned critics of Obama’s radical kitchen cabinet: Ayers/Rezko/Wright/Dohrn & etc.

Domestic Terrorist Billy Ayers ‘walked out of jail’ and into Academic circles by dint of his Daddy’s ComEd power circle that embraced University of Chicago, Northwestern University, the Woods Fund, Sidley and Austin Law Firm, and any number of left-sensitive political animals. Ayers’ insulated life allowed him to leap from ‘Underground’ to Hyde Park influence without so much as time out for his decades of crimes against America.

Billy Ayers, the Trust Funded, Insulated, Media Pampered Hyde Park Domestic Terrorist, who still, mercy sakes alive, has a job at University of Illinois Chicago Campus is the tack on the chair of Senator Obama’s Senate Seat.

Senator Obama is up and moving about the country weaving rhetorical flourishes to the people who think that Stanley Fish matters and that MSNBC provides information. While Senator Obama has been out of his seat, Illinois laughing-stock and Check Kiting Bob Creamer’s Bonnie Parker, Congressperson Jan Schakwosky is trolling for the chair – which would be Jan’s via appointment from Governor Rod Blagojevich.

The Guv has problems. Jan Schakowsky, like most self-absorbed posers, is unaware of her problems.

Peotone—This column has long been loud in its fanfare for John McCain, but—at least in the sounds coming from Huffington Post —some cacaphony is being orchestrated.

Here, of course, McCain is wildly popular in the ‘clingingly bitter community—garnering 48%percent of the vote in the official Republicans in Will County—and seems to have captured the hearts of the Peotonese as well. I suspect he could be elected King of Will County Fair in a landslide.

But since Pennsylvania, McCain has not been forced to battle four opponents at once—two Clintons and Obama frontally, plus the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Billy Boy Ayers from the rear. It has not thrown McCain’s campaign even somewhat off course and there is no sense that he has been brought down to earth – by that fat-assed Texas Preacher that Allan Colmes insists is just like Rev. Wright. Musically challenged, McCain’s soaring with oldies hits, the ... Read More...

Barack Obama was not only speaking to ‘small-town’ America, but the small towns that exist in Big Cities as well – we call them neighborhoods: Obama was talking to Dorchester, Queens, Staten Island, Pilsen, Canaryville, Brighton Park, Edison Park, Norwood Park, Evergreen Park, Morgan Park – hell every Park. Well, maybe not Hyde Park.

This was no Political Gotcha. This is Pure undiluted doctrine – Progressive doctrine. Obama lives this doctrine and it is from the heart – Words do matter. Barack Obama was speaking to his core constituency – Progressives. They are Gown elites – like his Hyde Park Neighbors in Chicago.
