MOURNING

Some people who read this will not like what I am about to say. Leave Jennifer Hudson ALONE. GO HOME! If two people maybe three are killed in a home NO MATTER THE TIME OF DAY someone heard a gunshot right? I mean its a 45 caliber weapon. Who couldn't hear that right? Standing in front of her house is doing NOTHING Get involved and stop that "not snitchin'" bullshit. GET INVOLVED. I ber one of the singer/prayers heard those shots...

Why do black folks ALWAYS do what we’ve witnessed this past week? The need to stand outside of a crime scene is mind-boggling. I have a friend who lives down the street from the Hudson family home. I asked him how he was holding up because the stress in his voice was unusually high. HE CAN’T LEAVE HIS DAMN HOUSE!

He told me the “stream of cars, people and teddy bears” has continued and continues well into the early morning hours. For the love of God – GO Y’ALL SINGING AND PRAYING ASSES HOME! Can she have a chance to mourn? SHE HAS TO BURY THREE PEOPLE! Really y’all – singing SPOTLIGHT (Jennifer Hudson’s latest hit) is SO inappropriate I can’t articulate how stupid it sounds. Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE Jennifer Hudson. She’s smart, beautiful, talented and a very nice woman. She has made a way for herself that should be respected and admired. I know what its like to lose a mother…she needs the support of her inner circle and the well wishes of her “fans” but this whole vigil mess is disturbing.

Here are some things to ponder before you send me angry emails…

Triple homicides NO MATTER THE COLOR OF THE MURDERED are a horrible, horrible thing to try to analyze. The shoddy police work done by Jody Weis and co is further proof that Jody Weis MUST be removed from his job NOW. The crime rate in Chicago spiked once Mayor Daley installed Mr. Weis. How do the police look for a white truck, find the alleged driver of the truck 13 miles from the crime scene and NOT look for the truck itself? It was down the street with the body of a 7 yr. old in it. It took a ghetto Chihuahua to find the damn truck. Jody and co. must GO NOW.

Mayor Daley – forget about the Olympics my man…this seals it. Chicago is a “hotbed of death” right now, murder capital of the US. Do you really think that the world wants to come here for that? You are ignoring the issue when you say “please get rid if the guns” to the press. The problem is the lack of opportunities for men living in “the hood”. No hope, no jobs, no nothing. I bet that if this happens on Goethe up in Streeterville – the city would shut down. Your incompetence in this matter is frightening. Here’s to Brazil. Congrats on the Olympics in 2016. Too much death here... By the way – if this were a third world country, the United Nations Peacekeeping Force would be on 70th and Yale and every other “bad street and neighborhood" in this city. Shame on you Mr. Mayor.

One last thing - to the people standing in front of a fucking crime scene. If you want to do something how about starting a fund/foundation in Julian King’s name. That would be the way to show Jennifer Hudson and her remaining family that her “fans” care not only about her and her loss but the future of the children of this city. Send a kid to college in Julian King’s name. Give a kid a chance to do what this little boy didn’t get a chance to do. Oh yeah…too busy singing and dropping off teddy bears to do that.

Hello World

Now that I have your attention...

Only 17 days (at this writing) until the big election! Here is something for you to ponder - on November 4th I will be involved in a really cool project called NOVEMBER DECISION 2008 on whpk.org and if you want to hear some really solid coverage of the race between Obama and McMummy, join me and my friend Mitchell Szczepanczyk for complete coverage starting at 7pm (Central) and I can promise you, if you turn down the sound on whatever you're watching and check us out - you won't be disappointed.

By the by I know I haven't written anything here in a bit but it isn't because I am neglecting the blogg - I am busy living. Relax and enjoy the 2008/10/16 version of NEWS FROM the SERVICE ENTRANCE here, here and there is an hour missing because...I don't know why an hour is missing but hopefully I can post it before it's too late..

Peace, Power and PROGRESS

I will update soon!

L8R!

CHOKE CUBS CHOKE (sung to the tune Go Cubs Go)

I love baseball. Most people who know me know that. I am a WHITE SOX fan NOT a Cub fan. I did however watch most of the games the cubs played this season. It was a season that saw the flashy ass cubs do all kinds of fun things. Alfonso Sori (sorry) ano and 6 - 4 - Lee and Ramirez, DeRosa oh the names are endless, Big Z, a record number of players the cubs had at the All-Star Game: 8 of them mind you and not one of them bothered to show up for three of the most important games in the history of the franchise.

In true chicago cub fashion the hapless bastards and their mean spirited fan base made me a genius. I called it in May. I figured that there was no way in the world that the cubs would be in the World Series. They were too good for the Fall Classic. That game is reserved for winners, not flubbers.

If you detect bitterness in my writing you would be accurate. The cubs you see have let their fandom down yet again and as a fan of the 2005 WORLD CHAMPION CHICAGO WHITE SOX it pains me as well. How long must I throw this modern era WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in the millions of faces of despondent cub fans? The only people who I feel the most microscopic nearly invisible iota of sorrow for are people like this one brother who has to be around 80 years old. He is a very nice gentleman and it would have been cool to see happiness in that mans face. His favorite team winning it all just one fucking time in his life.

Failed AGAIN.

Just so you know cub fans I can fix your team in two weeks...tear down Wrigley Field and build a new one. Stop blaming goats, black cats, Bartman, Leon Durham, aliens, Donavon McNabb's mom, Dave Chappelle's trip to Africa, the Wall Street Bailout, Sam Zell, my high school drama teacher Mrs. Czaja, Bono and anybody else you can think of. Tear down Wrigley because the joint is a bad memory...I wonder if there is a scientific term for what you cub fans go through? Man it must SUCK having to endure the same thing over and over again...wait a second I think I have a word for it albeit not a scientific term lets look at the definition:

Pronunciation:

\in-ˈsa-nə-tē\

Function:

noun

Inflected Form(s):

plural in·san·i·ties

Date:

1590

INSANITY - a deranged state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as schizophrenia) 2: such unsoundness of mind or lack of understanding as prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or as removes one from criminal or civil responsibility 3 a: extreme folly or unreasonableness b: something utterly foolish or unreasonable

Pick one cub fans because if you read this all the way through and you are still a fan of the Chicago Cubs after what they did to you AGAIN then you are insane.

NEWS FROM the SERVICE ENTRANCE

Hey everyone...you can catch the 09/03/2008 show here.

I missed the debates but I imagine that Sarah or Sara or Satan was busy in the debate last night. Joe Biden (Not my first choice) I bet he got all indignant about McMummy...I might try to find it on youtube.com but I doubt that I'm wrong...watched the Chicago Cubs lose in the playoffs AGAIN. Felt really nice...

Hope you enjoy the show and if any of you ladies missed it during the show Tyrone wants to go on a date with YOU! Listen for Tyrone's email during the show and act on that. The brother is a great guy and he is dead serious.



Enjoy your weekend and be safe.
