RAHM EMANUEL sits at 49% in the latest poll and needs another per cent to avoid a runoff election in the chicago race for mayor. should he be worried about a runoff? nope. the black candidates have all self destructed with their buffoonish behavior and city clerk de valle was never a factor which leaves gery chico at 19%. do the math.
charlie sheen makes 1.8 million dollars PER WEEK. i hope he has some left to pay for the coffin he's going to need very soon. maybe he could hook up with linsay lohan.
roy roger's stuffed horse, trigger, was sold at auction for $266,000. if you don't own a museum, what the hell do you do with him?
grandma gives birth to her own grandson via the sperm from her son-in-law. just call me creeped out.
ANOTHER animal shelter has been shut down because of cruelty to animals. that's two in two months. maybe it's time for the locals to inspect these facilities on a regular basis? and send the owners to prison, not branch court for a slap on the wrist.
looks like the baseball fun will be on the south side of town again this year.
how the mighty have fallen. the blackhawks. wow.
adios for a while. stay warm.

THE WRAP UP
the completion of the super bowl provides a much needed 30 day break to recharge our batteries for march madness and then the return of baseball. there is nothing worse than the nba in february, unless it's women's college basketball. ugly all the way around.
congrats to aaron rodgers on winning the super bowl mvp and he truly seems to be a nice guy, which is a nice change from that drug addicted, penis tweeting, wife cheating, alcoholic dirtbag who used to be the quarterback up north.
just curious....did anyone tweet that charles woodson or donald driver 'quit' on their team when they didn't return from their injuries?
the FACE VALUE of a super bowl ticket this year was $800 and a broker was going to give me $11,000 for my 2 seats if the bears went to the dance. and you think YOU were disappointed when they lost?
the super bowl will be in new york in 2014. has anyone looked out the window recently?
my buddy pete thinks the nfl should build a stadium complex which would include "nfl land" in a warm weather site and the super bowl would always be played at that site. nfl land would be like a sports themed great america and the retractable domed stadium could be used for concerts, conventions, etc. the rest of the year. it has merit.

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.
************************************************************************
everyone predicts the playoffs so here goes:
BEARS 27
SEATTLE 9
**************
PATRIOTS 28
NY JETS 13
*****************
RAVENS 19
STEELERS 14
********************
and as much as i would like to beat the crap out of the packers in chicago,
ATLANTA 24
PACKERS 16
*******************************************************
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!

final thoughts for 2010
brett favre gets fined $50,000 for tweeting his pee pee. sounds like a lot, right? well, if you make 100,000 a year instead of 16 million, the same percentage would be about $750.00. seven hundred and fifty bucks. wow, bet that really hurt brett.
the african-american caucas is losing focus in the chicago mayoral race. loudmouth candidate danny davis WARNS bill clinton & president obama to not campaign for rahm emanuel or relations with the black community might suffer. query.....would davis turn down the president's help if he supported davis?? davis needs to shut up. now he's going to pick who can campaign and who can't? good luck.
sleazy carol mosely braun and her amigos are mad at a sun-times columnist who ragged on braun in his column. braun's buddies want neil steinberg fired for writing the column but the managing editor told them nicely to go pound sand.
NY city....a teacher has been paid $97,000 a year for the last 13 years NOT to teach. roland pierre was charged with sexual misconduct with a student in 1997 but all police charges were dropped and he was never disciplined by the school. instead, he goes every day to the "rubber room" where teachers serve the equivalent of a 'time out' when they screw up but do no work. the school superintendent doesn't want him back in the class room and the 75 year old pierre refuses to retire so he just shows up every day.........and does zip for 97k. nice gig.
my heart goes out to those two firemen who died in chicago when a roof suddenly collapsed. as a retired cop, i can tell you that we always made fun of firemen because MOST of the time, they watch tv, play cards, shoot baskets, surf porn, eat, sleep and only work 115 days a year. but i would never have their job. god bless their families.
hey, if you still have a roll of kodak film laying around from aunt sophie's wedding, get it to the processor because the last kodak shop closes in a couple of days and the company no longer makes the specialized chemicals that you need to develop kodachrome film. remember photo huts?
a couple of interesting crimes this week. wheelchair bound man waits in the cold for help outside a closed loan store and when the employee unlocks the door early to help the poor man inside, the guy suddenly is cured and jumps up with a gun and robs the store and runs away. well thought out.
but the other side of the coin was in river forest where the uncle is arrested for shoplifting while his nephew (waiting in the car in the parking lot) gets whacked for burglarizing the car next to his. wonder if they met up in bond court?
you don't think that the bears could actually.............naw.

thoughts & things
ninety-five year old woman passes away in waukegan. two weeks later, a family member delivers her favorite waitress a thousand bucks for 'being nice' to her........and that's pretty nice too.
hear about the bad luck burglar who broke into a chicago company and vandalized all the machines for the coins? he made quite a haul and even brought his own bank bags to carry the loot. when climbing back to the roof, he slipped off the SECOND step of the ladder (only two feet up) and when he landed on his feet, the bag slipped from his hand and weight of the coins broke his foot in two places. righteous.
ok, rahm emanuel goes to washington d.c. to work for the president and now they challenge his residency in chicago because he rented his house out while serving his country? if that's the case, then every overseas soldier is now a resident of afghanistan. quit wasting our time & money.
speaking of wasting money, how about the cubs paying a .196 power hitter TEN MILLION DOLLARS for one year? and ricketts wonders why he has money issues.
oprah, do me a favor. give your money QUIETLY to charities and stop this "hooray for me farewell tour." god, is she irritating.
the infamous cabrini-green housing project in chicago officially closed yesterday when the last resident was moved out and i see where some of the media is romanticizing that property but the reality of the situation is that it was a jungle inhabited by animals who had no respect for anything including themselves. having been there numerous times to pick up prisoners and witnesses who fled from lake county, i know that most of you would gag at the stench just walking through the hallways but that's how those people chose to live. you might be poor but i know you have a mop, a broom and a dust pan. but they chose to live in squalor & filth. animals. no sympathy.
i see where the new video barbie doll is under suspicion because of the possibilities of 'secret' filming. has the FBI been to a camera store lately? if you want to buy a tiny video camera, you certainly don't need barbie. quit wasting our money.
christmas cards are apparently on the way out as people look to save money in difficult times. the post office anticipates 'only' 1.5 billion cards which is a 15% drop from last year. another reason they hate the internet, which is driving the postal service into extinction.
keep your eye on the situation in melrose park. long rumored to be crooked, several high ranking police administrators were found guilty of duty related felonies and the pension board justifiably took away their pensions. so now the current police admisnistrators have kicked the pension board out of the station because of their pension revocations. watch for the attorney general to start sniffing around which is the last thing they want in melrose park.
here's bullshit wrapped in a MAJOR package. an 11 year old pitcher in little league is struck in the side of the head by a batted ball and unfortunately, loses his hearing in the right ear. the parent's course of action? you guessed it--file suit against the maker of the aluminum bat but here's the real kicker................despite the pending litigation and the 'clear & present danger' of aluminum bats cited in the suit, the parents have allowed their kid back in baseball! quit wasting our time & money.
finally, keep your fingers crossed for the bears this weekend. adios.
