sports overload!!

some hosebag from a reality show says that on the eve of game 7 in 2003, she partied with three of the cubs until 4 a.m. and two of them were in the starting lineup in game 7. if you're not going to name names, then shut up.

and speaking of hosebags, BRANDI FAVRE, sister of the drama queen was arrested for being part of a meth lab in mississippi. before the sympathy flag goes out, the lovely ms. favre has a prior conviction for being the wheelman in a drive-by shooting. what a great family.

hey, the cubs actually made a good trade!! MATT GARZA will help them immensely on the mound. he's a fiery competitor who gets a little edgy when things go bad but he competes EVERY time he pitches. even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

if you're a white sox fan and you run into ONEY GUILLEN, feel free to punch him in the mouth and tell him it's from me.

the bulls are hanging on without noah but it ain't pretty. no consistency except when it comes to losing to bad teams. how do you beat oklahoma city, boston and the lakers and then lose to new jersey, philadelphia and charlotte??? and all within 30 days!!

DERRICK ROSE MVP?? why not?

the blackhawks are looking better but check out next weekend when they have back-to-backs with detroit & philadelphia. then we'll know.

ENJOY THE WEEKEND!

the week in review

that cowardly attack in arizona just fuels my fire for capital punishment.

for years i've said that if you lose in the first weekend of the football playoffs, then you didn't belong in the first place. so congrats to the jets, seahawks, ravens and packers who all took care of business.

bears are 9 1/2 point favorites next sunday and the packers are two point underdogs in atlanta. LET'S ROCK & ROLL!

packers vs. bears two weeks from now in chicago?

is AMERICAN IDOL yesterday's news now that simon is gone?

the rapidly fading mayoral candidate CAROL MOSELY BRAUN refuses to
answer any questions regarding her finances or tax returns. sorry but i thought full disclosure was important to candidates. "we are totally transparent" is her battle cry but she walks away from inquiring reporters.

do you think danny davis & james meeks are sorry they dropped out of the race to support braun? and no, they can't get back on the ballot because they officially withdrew just before braun's financial problems were exposed and you can't take back your withdrawal. ouch.

the american classic "THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN" is being censored by NEWSOUTH PUBLICATIONS as they have chosen to substitute the word 'slave' for 'nigger' and while i'm sure their intentions are good, rewriting history to be politically correct is ridiculous. the treatment of slaves was abhorrent but it's part of history and that's how we learn. what's next, rewriting the holocaust?

a state tax hike for four years to get illinois out of debt? i'm for it but only if the long range plan for stability is made public. also, who gets paid first from our mountain of debts? schools? mental health facilities? the dreaded pension funds? let's hear it.

speaking of pensions, new police & firemen now have to wait until the age of 55 to start collecting their pensions instead of 50 and that's way too old to be working the highway and climbing ladders. i'm in favor of pension caps and the elimination of bogus raises on the last day of employment but not everyone gets promoted to an office position. chasing gang bangers down the alley at 55? or carrying victims over your shoulder down a ladder?

finally, a woman in portland super-glued her sleeping husband's fingers to his penis to teach him a lesson about cheating. when placed in cuffs, the outraged woman said "i was only doing what my mother did to my father." isn't it nice to see that traditional family values are still being passed from one generation to the next? bye for now

FOR WOMEN ONLY

back in october, i warned you that chicago mayoral candidate carol mosely braun was considered by many to be one of the most corrupt politicians in the history of that city......... and that's really saying something. shady financial dealings have haunted her for years and she always had a snippy attitude towards reporters who asked for disclosure. well, the monster rose again this week when she told reporters that she wasn't going to release her tax returns because "i don't want to" which caused an immediate uproar from the other candidates. forced to make them public, we find that the delightful ms. braun is a financial disaster with FOUR mortgages (yes, FOUR!) on her house and not a penny to her name. and this woman wants to run the cash strapped city?? bye-bye carol. nice knowing you.

two days before christmas, a guy stands in line at the dunkin' donut shop and drops a wad of cash on the floor but doesn't realize it. 63 yr. old woman behind him picks up the $500 rubber banded roll and in the spirit of the holiday........no, sorry. she pockets it and hurries out. arrested for theft a week later when she returned for donuts. nice lady.

is it just me or does michelle obama look like she pumps iron on a regular basis?

i've never seen "jersey shore" but i sure see a lot of the three women. 'snooki' endorses EVERYTHING from nuts to fuzzy slippers, 'j-woww' (ya gotta love these names) has authored several books on picking up guys and the social scene in general and 'sammi' gets 15k for a personal appearance.
and i'm told they have zero talent.

lindsay lohan. i give up.

this is sort of a woman tidbit. elton john paid 2 million for the apartment next to his so new son zach will have a place to play. silly me. this is the same guy who spends 10k a week on fresh flowers. arrrrrgh.

i see where kirstie alley now says she's lost 80 pounds. yeah, and she was a size 8 on oprah two years ago. please.

how about the woman who caught what appeared to be a record breaking car-winning walleye while ice fishing in northern wisconsin? her excited husband ran to the car to get the camera and tape measure but when he returned, the fish was gone. the wife explained, "he looked really cold laying on the ice so i put him back in the water." no word on the condition of the husband. or the marriage.

finally...........in colorado, a serial rapist with four prior victims confronted a potential fifth victim and threatened to 'punch her face in' unless she co-operated. the victim (now read this carefully) reacted by kicking him in the HEAD with her right foot and followed that with a left kick to his jaw, breaking it in three places and knocking out five teeth. the bad guy falls to his knees but then rises and comes towards her. she sets herself and promptly kicks his ear OFF with her right foot (wearing a cowboy boot with silver toe taps helps) and finishes him off with a left kick to the ribs which breaks three of those. turns out the 'victim' had just finished teaching her advanced martial arts class, specializing in 'attack when threatened' situations. the rapist confessed to everything.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
