bits & pieces

I just had to take a shower.  i watched '30 on 30' on ESPN featuring tonya harding and she is worse than i had imagined. everyone was out to get her. everyone hated her. everyone wanted her to fail. give me a break. tonya now makes her living doing auto repair & landscaping and apparently her only sport is eating because she is a fat pig. "i can't believe they banned me from skating for life...what did i ever do to them?"  i can't tell you how much she reminded me of people i arrested over & over & over with that same freaking attitude.   "it's not me, it's them." what a piece of crap. good riddance to bad rubbish.

lots of sabre rattling over the new concealed carry law but the law is not new in illinois. no, no, no. you see, the boys in the jungle passed their own concealed carry law decades ago so they could go about their business of dealing, thieving, raping & pillaging to their heart's content....not to mention killing their own at a rate of 1 + per day. 

the new law simply means that every once in a while, one of the jungle boys is going to have a very surprised look on his face....just before he dies when a law abiding citizen legally takes action and blows his brains out.  a reminder to all the the new gun carriers......breath slowly and squeeze the trigger evenly. the results should then be as expected. and always fire that second round. 

poor ELIOT NESS. a couple of local politicians tried to do him a solid and name a federal building after him but historians blew the whistle on what a lot of us crime/mafia aficionados already knew. ness was a cop who was highlighted by 'the untouchables' tv show and later the movie but had little to do with capturing AL CAPONE or any other major gangster. ness worked just 17 years for the feds and only 6 in chicago, spending the majority of his later life in cleveland before dying of a heart attack at 53. 

how about naming it the FEDERAL MEMORIAL BUILDING in honor of those who have fallen serving their country in law enforcement? salute them all instead of just one.

the largest hypocritical organization in the world was finally forced to release thousands of documents identifying their pedophile employees and how the administration protected them for years.  in a perfect world, the catholic church would be disbanded by the goverment and every administrator brought to justice just like the TRIALS AT NUREMBURG where all of the nazis were hung for their crimes.  answer this question.  what's worse? soldiers following orders in a time of war or pedophiles attacking children and being protected by their superiors? please mark my answer sheet next to choice B.

say good-bye to CUBBY BEAR NORTH, a great place to watch a sporting event on route 21 in lincolnshire. closed suddenly on january 1st due to the economy.

another victim of the economy? or poor management? a local tradition said adios when the KRISTOF SUPER BOWL PARTY which has been held for more than thirty years was cancelled for lack of interest. WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE?? the bar business is hard enough but when you have surly employees, obnoxious new management with a bad attitude, no bowling leagues and the highest drink prices in the area, it's no surprise that they're struggling. were it not for their very successful haunted house every october, you'd have to wonder if the doors would still be open today. and don't blame the economy. go two miles south and LAKES BOWL is doing boffo business at the bar and with bowling leagues. and the employees even smile. try them both and judge for yourself.

a final note to the ladies:  there are two sundays that are very important to pro football fans. conference championships, which are held this sunday and of course, those two winners meet on february 2nd in the super bowl. 

so if you could care less about football, take the kids to grandma's house and let your other half stay in his sweats, have his buddies over and lay on the couch all day and eat pizza and nachos and drink beer. believe me, this is worth BIG TIME BONUS POINTS which, with a gentle reminder,  results in him going with you to see SEVERAL chick flicks during the year and even having dinner with your parents. and maybe watching the kids while you take a spa day. think about it but not too long because he has to call his buddies to let them know about sunday.  P.S.--the kids are off school on monday so spend the night at grandma's. even MORE bonus points! stay warm.
