bits & pieces

JOHN BOEHNER & PRESIDENT OBAMA agreeing on something? wow. i know all the verbal posturing and sabre rattling is part of the process but if i lived in syria, i would be heading out of town about now. IF THE HOUSE COOPERATES, i think things are going to go BOOM real soon....... god speed to our military people.

how UNGRATEFUL can a communtiy be? for 30 years, the ENGLEWOOD neighborhood has complained about not having a food store with access to fresh fruits & vegetables. a fair concern.     corporations may have hesitated to build because of the 50% board up rate and the third highest crime rate in chicago and the largest homocide rate. also a fair concern.  

but after WHOLE FOODS CORPORATION announced it's plan to open an 18,000 square foot market in 2016 and create at least a hundred new jobs, what was the reaction? "they're too expensive" and "that's too long to wait."  you just can't please certain people.  maybe if the corporation delivered the food to their front doors for free? and cooked it for them?   naw, thay'd still find something to complain about.  if i was the ceo of whole foods and got that reaction, the jungle project would have been canceled immediatley. ungrateful bastards.

anyone shed a tear for that maggot ARIEL CASTRO hanging himself? after just one month, he couldn't take not having his freedom.  now he knows how his captives felt for ten years.

did you hear about the 50 year old einstein breaking into the edison storage yard to steal copper wire? unfortunately for the rocket scientist , the copper he grabbed to steal was hooked up to real electricity and toasted him like a s'more.  feel sad for him?  a little background......4 prior theft related prison terms and released on parole just a month ago.  you can take them out of the jungle but you can't.....well, you know the rest.

CHICAGO FOP president MIKE SHIELDS missed not one but two contractual deadlines and cost his officers between three & seven thousand dollars in retroactive pay EACH! anyone want to be his campaign manager when he's up for re-election? ugly

more cop stuff.  file this in the head scratch file. a father of three in gary, indiana was found dead in the trunk of his cadillac.  that's right, the trunk. gary police released a hasty statement that probably wasn't double checked....."there is no indication that a crime was committed" suggests the dead guy jumped into his own trunk and died of natural causes.  uh.....no.

if you were ever arrested by LT. JOHN BURCH of the chicago police department, take the time to hire a civil rights lawyer.  to date, the city has spent 64 MILLION DOLLARS settlling law suits filed by his arrestees. add to this 31 million in legal fees.  wow. get in line.

denver mass murderer JAMES HOLMES has an interesting defense team.  in an effort to spare their client from the death penalty, they have asked the court to NOT ALLOW the surviving victims to speak at the sentencing hearing and they only want opponents of the death penalty to sit on the jury!WHAT??????
 ok, this guy shot you but you can't talk about it....but he can if he wants to do that. and this is exactly why the courts drag on and on and on.........

finally.........remember when the members of the jungle were up in arms over school closings and 'safe passage' for their kids?  remember how they stated they would be part of the 'corner security' guards to protect the little ones? well, 40% of the new hirees QUIT after the first week.  i guess it's pretty tough to work 4 hours a day, especially when you get a THREE HOUR BREAK between shifts.
but i have the solution.  bring back all of LOUIS FARRAKHAN'S thugs who passed out brochures last year in the jungles and let them man the street corners. they can continue to pass out literature and bring peace to the community.

gotta go. have a great weekend!
