FOR WOMEN ONLY

hello ladies! now that you've survived the day of rapture, let's get down to business and start catching up.

jared lee loughner was found unfit to stand trail for the killing of six people and tragic wounding of rep. gabrielle giffords so he heads to a mental facility for 'rehabilitation' instead of prison. and i say again....when you randomly kill people, of course you're unfit. giffords is a profile in courage while this scumbucket avoids the death penalty in arizona and lives on the taxpayer dollar for the next 40 years.

i see where john edwards, every woman's favorite husband, is thisclose to being federally indicted for dipping into the till. edwards was once a strong presidential candidate until he started an affair while his wife was fighting terminal cancer and then fathered a child out of wedlock while still married, denying it the entire time........a total lack of class. the indictment and subsequent conviction should bring jail time.

and while we're on the subject of infidelity, maria shriver is the subject of many discussions regarding loyalty & support. she's far too intelligent to be totally unaware of arnold's playing around for that length of time so why stay with him? when did she really find out about the love child? it appears the marriage existed for political purposes only which makes her a little less sympathetic to me because she certainly enjoyed the benefits of being the california first lady.

on a lighter note, courtney love says that celebrities contact her for advice when they get into legal trouble and she's heard from paris hilton, lindsay lohan & kelly osbourne after their arrests. love giving advice on how to stay out of trouble is like charlie sheen authoring a parenthood book.

i am shocked! amy winehouse went back into rehab. again.

and finally, i see where sarah palin released her documentary whick is titled "the undefeated." surely she knows the results from 2008 when she got her ass kicked?

bye for now. more soon



i am now recovering from oprah overload. no one was happier than me to see her leave chicago and clear the air waves. i always found her to be self serving and awash with "hooray for me. look what i've done." she is now california's problem.

sports of all sorts

the CHICAGO BULLS look to be in trouble against miami and we're all locked in with ragging on carlos boozer but if you want a real villian for games 2 & 3, look no further than #1, mvp derrick rose. he has stunk up the place in consecutive games and the bulls have NO CHANCE unless he responds to the pressure of the conference finals rather than disappear.

the WHITE SOX, on the other hand, have righted their ship by winning 5 of the last 6 series and splitting the other. adam dunn appears to be a mistake and alex rios is stuck in reverse but the pitching has been outstanding and if the bats ever thaw out, the train will become non-stop to the top. paul konerko is still the best player on either side of town.

adios to HARMON KILLEBREW, a class guy.

best wishes to MOOSE SKOWRON in his fight against lung cancer.

the CUBS are still a terrible organization which has stocked the team with more overpaid head cases like matt garza and carlos pena. they are on pace to lose 90 games and the fans are already staying away from wrigley in droves. this team is very similar to the titanic and just floating towards the iceberg so fasten your seat belts for a long 4 year ride on the s.s. ricketts.

the BEARS are the most popular team in town and the ratings for football are thru the roof but if the regular season is affected by the lockout, the nfl will take a major hit. the owners once again have the players over a barrel and the courts appear to be on their side so once the paychecks run out this summer, the union eventually will fold like a cheap suitcase but at what cost to both sides?

the BLACKHAWKS showed the effects of the stanley cup hangover by underachieving all season and then losing in the first round. they are the perfect example of 'enjoy it while you can' because there are no guarantees in sports.

the CHICAGO FIRE soccer team ? never mind.

thoughts & things 1/13/11

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!
