A Tolerant Pope Checked By An Angry Vatican
Posted on 02. Jun, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Current Events
I’m not a real big fan of the Roman Catholic Church, but even I’m a bit intrigued by the new pope, Jorge Bergoglio. During his career Bergoglio has admitted that priestly celibacy is not a matter of faith, decried the practice of denying baptism to children born out of wedlock, vigorously campaigned for the rights [...]
Rosen, The AP And Da President
Posted on 23. May, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
The evidence keeps piling up. For several years a small but vocal group of Chicagoans have railed against electing a prominent Chicago politician to the presidency. Any politician who can survive, nay flourish, in Cook County should be suspect. Now, in Barack Obama’s second term a bevy of scandals have appeared and the normally complacent [...]
A Scam ‘From The Get-Go’
Posted on 06. May, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Every now and then persistence pays off. After months and months of denial and misdirection, the Obama administration will finally be exposed as the liars yours truly has always known them to be. Testimony this week will practically assure the administration will be held accountable for botching their response to the attack on the U.S. [...]
Miranda Does Not Confer Rights, It Reminds You Of Them
Posted on 21. Apr, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
My original plan was to write about some civil rights abuses currently going on in the Muslim world. Just the other day in Turkey, Fazil Say became yet another in a long line of artists convicted of the crime of denigrating Islam. His mode of defilement? Twitter! Amongst these tweets was a quote from a [...]
Rahm “Walker’s” On
Posted on 01. Apr, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, History
The 2011 Wisconsin protests should still be vivid in your memory – they certainly are in mine. In February of that year, tens of thousands of protesters filled downtown Madison, hell-bent on derailing Governor Scott Walker’s attempt to pass the Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill, which made public sector workers pay a bit more – though [...]
33% Of Chicago Aldermen Are Convicted Criminals
Posted on 25. Mar, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Roughly 33% of Chicago Aldermen since 1972 are convicted criminals. But that’s nothing. Since 1983, 100% of the aldermen from the 7th Ward are convicted criminals – and both were convicted within 40 days of each other. The first is Sandi Jackson, wife of former U.S. Representative and hypochondriac Jesse Jackson Jr. She and her [...]

If you’ve managed to not watch TV, use the internet or listen to the radio this week, there is an outside chance that you’re unaware of a certain trip by a washed-up ex Chicago Bulls player to the Hermit Kingdom of North Korea. Dennis Rodman, basketball all-star, movie icon and children’s book author, made beaucoup [...]
A Trimphus For The Conquering Hero
Posted on 22. Jan, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Current Events
Here we are, back at the beginning. Four years ago I wrote an article, Panem Et Circenses On The Potomac, chronicling the epic overindulgence of the raucous coronation of our Lord and Savior King Barack Obama. The 2008 Obama inauguration was such a spectacle of waste and excess that this comparison is not difficult to [...]
Roe v. Raed: The A-Wassailing Edition
Posted on 23. Dec, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Today’s topic: Political chicanery with a Christmas twist! Dreaming Of A Working Government by Theodore Roe Three years ago I wrote a little ditty about how the Democrat-dominated legislature couldn’t stop writing stupid laws. Now they can’t seem to write anything at all. So, without further ado, I give you my rendition of White Christmas [...]
Robertson Stands Pat… On Evolution?!
Posted on 03. Dec, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Current Events
Pat Robertson, the grand poobah of all things wacko-nutso in “mainstream” fundamentalist Christianity, made a scandalous revelation last week. The man who blamed 9/11 on gay people, Hurricane Katrina on American abortion laws and Port-au-Prince’s killer earthquake on an ages-old pact between the Haitians and Satan, was recently confronted with a serious question from (what [...]
