THE MEANEST MAN IN TOWN

I am still going over the indictment of Governor Rod Blagojevich (Gov. Possumhead) . Man dude is in trouble and it's gonna spread to other prominent names in Illinois politics. In a wonderful move Elliott Ness (US Atty. Gen Pat Fitzgerald) arrested Gov. Possumhead as he was preparing for his morning run.

Wanna see some of the indictment? So do I let's look deeper into why the Governor of Illinois was arrested and let's guess who some of the other names are! This is gonna be GREAT!

...in early October 2008, the government obtained information that ROD BLAGOJEVICH was accelerating his corrupt fund raising activities to accumulate as much money as possible before the implementation of ethics legislation on January 1, 2009, that would severely curtail ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s ability to raise money from individuals and entities conducting business with the State of Illinois. Based in part on the recently obtained information, and as part of the investigation into ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s corrupt fund raising efforts, in October 2008 the government obtained court approval to intercept oral communications in certain locations in the offices of Friends of Blagojevich.

In addition, as part of its investigation, the government obtained court approval to intercept
wire communications on the home phone of ROD BLAGOJEVICH.

Oh oh sounds like trouble maybe he should not talk on the phone so much huh? Let's move on...

On October 8, 2008, during a discussion of fundraising from various individuals and entities, the discussion turned to Children’s Memorial Hospital, and ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Individual A words to the effect of “I’m going to do $8 million for them. I want to get [Hospital Executive 1] for 50.” Individual A understood this to be a reference to a desire to obtain a $50,000 campaign contribution from Hospital Executive 1, the Chief Executive Officer of Children’s Memorial Hospital.

Damn - this was just one Hospital...dude what the fuck? That money total is starting to add up...this is one mean guy - and so close to Hanakwanzmas...

Individual A said that he/she understood ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s reference to $8 million to
relate to his recent commitment to obtain for Children’s Memorial Hospital $8 million in
state funds through some type of pediatric care reimbursement. As described in further detail
below, intercepted phone conversations between ROD BLAGOJEVICH and others indicate
that ROD BLAGOJEVICH is contemplating rescinding his commitment of state funds to
benefit Children’s Memorial Hospital because Hospital Executive 1 has not made a recent
campaign contribution to ROD BLAGOJEVICH.

Now let's get to the Cubs and Gov. Possumheads wacky wife...

Intercepted phone calls reflect that ROD BLAGOJEVICH and JOHN HARRIS, together with others, are corruptly using and threatening to use the powers of ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s office as Governor of the State of Illinois to exert financial pressure on the owners of the Tribune Company, the parent corporation of the Chicago Tribune newspaper, to fire Chicago Tribune editorial board members who were responsible for editorials sharply critical of ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s actions as Governor and, among other things, calling for his impeachment.

On the evening of November 3, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH talked to Deputy
Governor A. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he was concerned about possibly being
impeached in the Spring and that the Chicago Tribune will be “driving” the impeachment
discussion. ROD BLAGOJEVICH asked Deputy Governor A to check to see if the Tribune
has recently “advocate[d]” that he be impeached. In fact, the Chicago Tribune recently had
published editorials critical of ROD BLAGOJEVICH. In another call between ROD BLAGOJEVICH and Deputy Governor A that occurred a short time later on November 3, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH and Deputy Governor A discussed an editorial from the Chicago Tribune regarding the endorsement of Michael Madigan and calling for a committee to consider impeaching ROD BLAGOJEVICH. During the call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife can be heard in the background telling ROD BLAGOJEVICH to tell Deputy Governor A “to hold up that fucking Cubs shit. . . fuck them.”

Wow! She is a tyrant to huh? Even though I agree with her on the whole fuck the Cubs thing. And finally how he tried to hijack the Senate pick oh this shit is rich...

On November 3, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH talked with Deputy Governor A. This discussion occurred the day before the United States Presidential election. ROD BLAGOJEVICH and Deputy Governor A discussed the potential Senate seat vacancy.

During the conversation, ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Deputy Governor A that if he is not
going to get anything of value for the open Senate seat, then ROD BLAGOJEVICH will take
the Senate seat himself: “if . . . they’re not going to offer anything of any value, then I might just take it.” Later on November 3, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke with Advisor A. By this time, media reports indicated that Senate Candidate 1, an advisor to the President-elect, was interested in the Senate seat if it became vacant, and was likely to be supported by the President-elect. During the call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated, “unless I get something real good for [Senate Candidate 1], shit, I’ll just send myself, you know what I’m saying.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH later stated, “I’m going to keep this Senate option for me a real possibility, you know, and therefore I can drive a hard bargain. You hear what I’m saying. And if I don’t get what I want and I’m not satisfied with it, then I’ll just take the Senate seat myself.” Later, ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that the Senate seat “is a fucking valuable thing, you just don’t give it away for nothing.”

ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that the “trick . . . is how do you conduct indirectly . . . a negotiation” for the Senate seat. Thereafter, ROD BLAGOJEVICH analogized his situation to that of a sports agent shopping a potential free agent to various teams, stating “how much are you offering, [President-elect]? What are you offering, [Senate Candidate 2]? . . . Can always go to. . . [Senate Candidate 3].” Later ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he will make a decision on the Senate seat “in good faith . . . but it is not coming for free. . . .It’s got to be good stuff for the people of Illinois and good for me.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH states “[President-elect], you want it? Fine. But, its got to be good or I could always take [the Senate seat].”

In regards to the Senate seat, ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated “I’ve got this thing and it’s fucking golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for fuckin’ nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there.”

ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that the consultants (Advisor B and another consultant are believed to be on the call at that time) are telling him that he has to “suck it up” for two years and do nothing and give this “motherfucker [the President-elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH states that he will put “[Senate Candidate 4]” in the Senate “before I just give fucking [Senate Candidate 1] a fucking Senate seat and I don’t get anything.”

And there it is...Rod Blagojevich is unreal. He would still be robbing and stealing from the people of the Illinois. Let's back up a bit...Senate Candidate 1 I think is Valerie Jarrett even though she has a position in 44's administration she could still want that seat. The idea that ANYBODY will fuck with Blago now would make them insane. 44 certainly won't have anything to do with him...he has completely destroyed the office of Governor and in turn tarnishing the reputation of the State.

Should he be impeached? NO. He should resign immediately and wait for his certain jail sentence. There is also one person who is shaking in his boots - this I know for certain, Mayor Richard M. Daley. He is also under the scope of the FBI and the feds. He has been Teflon up to now but Patrick Fitzgerald is not going anyplace...the phone tapping isn't limited to Blago and everybody knows it.

Damn...the dude really started something and it may be quite some time before this is resolved.

HOT FUN IN THE SUMMERTIME

In Chicago this weekend the Chicago Police were admittedly busy doing has to be a difficult job. I am not beyond knowing how hard a job it has to be. The word on the street is that this summer unlike most summers, the rate of violence (hood issues) will be higher than ever and that blood will flow in our streets. Not to be outdone - the POLICE are doing the shooting and don't care about the summer aspect of it. Three shootings over the weekend by the police. One man killed by the police...talk about hood issues - this from the Chicago Tribune - "We do know that there was a weapon recovered, but we don't have any other details about what happened," said David Banks (Chicago Police spokesman), who added the department may put out a statement later Monday morning. Mark Payne, the IPRA's spokesman, said his office launched an investigation but was trying to gather information Monday morning.

The IPRA - The Independent Police Review Authority has been recently established to investigate crimes against the people by the police, crimes like this. This organization is ran by Ilana Rosenzweig. Ilana is from Los Angeles. She was in charge of keeping the peace between the police and the citizens and I am not a member of the Los Angeles community but it doesn't look like she did a good job. From the LA Times - “In L.A., our approach of looking at the conduct of the officers is not just when they pulled the trigger, but everything that preceded it and came after it,” Rosenzweig said.

Well let's see how that's working out shall we? During the past ten months the Chicago Police have (according to the LA Times) an officer used a Taser on an 82-year-old woman in her home, a federal jury awarded $4 million to a man who said he was sodomized by an officer with a screwdriver during a search, and the Police Board overrode recommendations to fire an officer who was seen on a security tape beating a suspect handcuffed in a wheelchair – and who later lied about his actions. “

Aaron Harrison was shot in his back by the police...an off duty cop beat up a bartender...a group of policemen beat up some businessmen outside a bar in Downtown Chicago. The city is doing everything it can to keep this news as quiet as possible because the city DESPERATELY wants to host the Olympics in 2016. (However I imagine if China can host an Olympic games anyone can.)

For it to be made story number one like the R. Kely story was Chicago could cause mighty problems for the Mayor and his duo of outsiders Mrs. Rosenzweig and newly appointed Police Superintendent Jody Weis...this from CNN - Between 2002 and 2004, for example, more than 10,000 complaints -- many of them involving brutality and assault -- were filed against Chicago police officers. Yet only 18 of them resulted in any meaningful disciplinary action, according to Craig Futterman, a lawyer who uncovered these statistics while researching a client's claim. That was the reason Mayor Daley went outside of the city to get help. Oh I see the outsiders would be able to clean things up...no bias. It isn't working AT ALL. White folks, Black folks, Latinos, Asians even a fucking COUGAR - are getting served by the Chicago Police and not in the "Officer Friendly" fashion.

Three shootings in Chicago this weekend. Not enough staff to handle all of the complaints. Two outsiders who since their arrival have watched these number spike instaed of fall. The people are fearful of the summer and the Mayor is Olympic freakin' happy and hopes it rains so the blood can be washed easily into the sewer. That way no one will see it.

SUNDAY MORNING PAPER

4/20 DAY

Just when you think you know everything about smoking weed...I didn't know that the term 4/20 may have been developed by high school students you can read more about it here...man I loves me some weed! Oh yes no doubt...ever watched Reefer Madness? Who wouldn't want some weed after seeing that? Half Baked, one of my favorite movies with more than its share of popular quotes, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle I mean the list is endless...so go out there and learn more about the sticky icky... and by all means inhale...

STOP THE VIOLENCE

I posed this question on the radio show this past week..."are you crazy"? It certainly appears that way based on the moronically senseless shooting that has taken place this weekend. 20 reported shootings in the past 24 hours. 24 Chicago Public School kids dead (it's only April). I used to dispute the whole "it's really going to be bad when it gets hot" thing but I am convinced now that this summer in Chicago at least is going to be horrid.

Where are the parents of these teen shooters you ask? Well mama is WGCI and daddy is the TV. I am not blaming rap music or TV or even the movies. I blame access to these things. You Tube falls in there too. I mean by virtue of this blog I give people access to information. What a person chooses to do with that info is called consequence. It seems to me when you give people misinformation they are bound to react to it especially if that misinformation appeals to them in some way.

Pass the Information, Extend the Knowledge. Pass misinformation and you get what you get. Access is everything and so is exposure. If these same young people are exposed to positive images in music alone - what do you think the result would be?

IF YOU FEELIN' LIKE A PIMP...

Did you see Barack Obama brush his shoulders off this past week? Is this black enough for you? If you live in Pennsylvania - VOTE WITH YOUR HEAD, NOT WITH YOUR HEART. Make a choice you can be comfortable with...get that dirt off ya shoulders Philly...you know what to do.

AND FINALLY

The quote of the year from Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen upon the Sox losing to the Tampa Bay Rays 5-0 in two hours and two minutes one of the fastest games in the history of Tropicana Field. ''That was a fast ass-kicking,'' Guillen said.
