Numerous articles on Sen. Ted Kennedy.
First, Ed McMahon passes away in California.
Now, the papers carry the news that John Calloway, the man who brought “Chicago Tonight” and “Chicago Stories” to the viewers of Channel 11, WTTW, died in Racine, WI, after suffering a heart attack in a store there.

Are people this stupid or don’t they realize that if you’re an elected official, the Feds could be very well checking up on you?

And speaking of idiots, Carlos Zambrano got a 6 game suspension for bumping umpire Mark Carlson as well as throwing his glove atthe dugout fence, throwing the ball into left field and then demolishing the Gatorade dispenser in the dugout. Still, he’ll only miss one start, but it’s gonna cost him money, as well as a long chat with manager Lou Pinella.
Looks like even the president of the Cook County Board isn’t immune from IRS trouble.
There’s a problem when he hasn’t paid nearly $12,000 in taxes.
Here’s the URL to the story. His old man’d be spinning in his grave.
Not much to talk about still. Biggest thing right is the dustup in Crestwood about a poisoned well being in service even though, according to reports, that the EPA thought the well had been shut down.
Of course, there is a class action lawsuit filed now against the village. I can’t buy the argument from Mayor Stranczek that they wouldn’t do anything to endanger the residents. Well, not stopping use of a well that had been condemned by the EPA in 1986 doesn’t speak much for them.
A sordid business this.
Yes, there is someone who’s got some intelligence. Blago was turned down in his bid to go to Costa Rica to be on a reality TV show.
This guy’s not all there. He can’t be. Sheesh. Apparently, he has no inkling of just how deep in the ‘doo he is!
I suggested, in a tweet to Eric Zorn, that they have a show called “Hair Factor”. Lose and you get your head shaved. *grin*
You screwed up big time taking the appointment from Blago.
Then you compounded your screwup by lying to everyone about contacts with Blago’s brother.
The fact that NO ONE would shake your hand or even TALK TO YOU in the Senate should tell you something you idjit.
Reisgn and get the hell outta the Senate. Your rep is already flushed down the toilet and you aren’t going to be able to salvage it.
