Ha ha ha, everyone gets a good laugh when newspaper design people make weird placement choices. Look at the Washington Times here: its website shows a photo of the Obama kids — probably the click-thru is a story about how cute they are! — right above a different article about Chicago children being murdered all [...]
OH AND HERE’S SOME ACTUAL NEWS: “Blagojevich, 52, was indicted on 16 felony counts, including racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud, extortion conspiracy, attempted extortion and making false statements to federal agents. He allegedly abused his office in numerous matters to seek money, campaign contributions, and employment for himself and others, in exchange for official actions, including [...]
Rod Blagojevich, you are a hero — you are still giving to us, in the form of comic material, months after you’ve been removed from the Illinois governor’s office. (Not that you ever actually went to the Illinois governor’s office, but you know what we mean, you fuckin’ guy.) And today, a new scheme, or [...]
Ha ha ha we called it dudes, a month ago! Rod Blagojevich will be on the radio tomorrow, filling in at Chicago’s WLS-AM from 7-9 in the morning.
Who exorcist-puked in the White House fountain? Maybe nobody! Chicago street organizer Michelle Obama “ordered” the pretty fountain to be ruined in this gross way, because this is how Chicago people “celebrate” the Irish Plague, “Saint Patrick’s Day,” which is apparently today. SPECIAL CONTEST MISSION: Go take a comical picture of this, use props, make [...]
There is only one way we’re buying Rod Blagojevich’s sure-to-be-shitty “inside story” about how he’s an “incompetent crook” and “washed-up circus clown” — and that’s if Chicago’s Lauri Apple actually provides the cover art. And the “book” is not actually written by Rod Blagojevich, and is also not about him at all. The back cover [...]
Lauri Apple! She’s that artist who did the wonderful picture of Rod Blagojevich parachuting himself there! Now she has produced a little drawing of Roland Burris, which is great, because we were getting sick of using the old video capture and the mausoleum shot all the time. [Chicagoist]
Roland Burris! This guy! The respected Chicago politician who has his own glamorous mausoleum already built and who repeatedly lost in his many attempts at seeking a public office higher than dog catcher managed to weasel his way into the Senate by calling Harry Reid a racist. As we watched events unfold in December and [...]
The Corner’s eagle-eyed investigative blog reporter Lisa Schiffren — of the famous “Obama’s Political Origins” column this time last year in which she wrote, “But, for a white woman to marry a black man in 1958, or 60, there was almost inevitably a connection to explicit Communist politics,” so as to prove that Barack Obama [...]
DUMB RESOLUTION PROPOSED TO DUMB ILLINOIS SENATE PROBLEM: Anybody who saw Harry Reid on Meet the Press this weekend probably noticed two things: First, rimless eyewear has a feminizing effect on the middle-aged male face, and second, Rod Blagojevich has hilariously bent this guy so far over that every time Harry Reid appears in public [...]
The very terrifying Lynn Sweet reports: “WASHINGTON—I’ve learned that Gov. Blagojevich is poised to name former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to replace President elect Barack Obama in the Senate on Tuesday afternoon… Blagojevich called a press conference for 2 p.m. Chicago time at the Thompson State of Illinois Center.” Well this is sure to [...]
