So lemme get this straight

Friday, March 11th, 2011

ComEd, aka CommieEd, etc., says that they want to be able to automatically stick it to the consumers every year so that they can get back the 2 billion they spent on upgrading the grid.

Seems to me that they should have been upgrading the grid all along and only after the shit hit the fan with outages, explosions and fires, did they finally get off their asses and do something.

Screw ‘’em.  Let ComEd eat that 2 billion.

This really sucks and I hope that my readers in Will County let the sheriff, Paul Kaupas, know what a shitty deal this is, since the dogs have made some impressive seizures of late.

Dolton: The more things change….

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Mayor’s daughters firm may get $1 million dollar contract

However, since this came to light, things are a little different now.

Exposure make this deal evaporate in a hurry…maybe.

Like one of the trustees who are planning to boycott every meeting until this contract is taken off the table said, : “We’ve got the same players with just different titles and more money.”

That I can believe.  The Shaw regime treated Dolton as their own piggybank and it looks like the current administration is trying to do the same thing.

WTF?

Egypt

Let’s all offer a prayer to whatever deity we worship for the nation of Egypt and her people, that they finally achieve democracy and fairness in their government.

Remember how much I hate attack ads?  they obscure the real issues and waste time for all concerned.  As far as I’m concerned, you do an attack ad, you lost my vote and the vote of everyone I know.

Hear that, Chico?  Not that I’m a fan of Emanuel but attack ads are the lowest toilet trash you can do.

Okay, now what was that again?
