Theo’s Twit Of The Week: George Cardenas
Posted on 17. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
This week’s Twit is a local yokel who believes his “part-time” job as a Chicago alderman gives him the right to tax Chicago citizens into oblivion for buying bottled water and Slurpees, all while filling his (and his family’s) own pockets. Get ready to vicariously live the Chicago (but not the American) Dream through the [...]
Should The Big G Be Your Sugar Daddy?
Posted on 04. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Sweet, sweet sucrose-injected, fructose-laced damnation awaits us all, at least according to a recent article in Nature magazine. Three researchers in California have produced a report that shows the toxic danger of sugar, eventually going on to suggest that it should be regulated by federal governments as a controlled substance. I would like to sidestep [...]
Romney Gets Trumped
Posted on 03. Feb, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
After much hemming and hawing, The Donald has finally (hopefully?) decided not to throw his hat into the 2012 Presidential race and support one of the four remaining Republican candidates. Speculation was swirling around who exactly Trump would endorse for the Republican nomination. Wednesday the rumor mill was flooded with reports that Newt Gingrich would [...]
Rahm Emanuel: Another Wannabe Gangster
Posted on 26. Jan, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Organized Crime, Politics
Rahm Emanuel is a man of many names. Some call him Rahmbo. Others prefer Emperor Rahmulus. He was Richard J. Daley’s and Clinton’s financial hitman and Obama’s frontline Pattonesque general. All these titles, amusing as they might be, still lack the necesary oomph a man like Emanuel needs in order to get things done “his [...]
Obama And The Daleys
Posted on 11. Jan, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
The Obama White House has occasionally been refereed to as the 51st Ward, a fictitious (and evidently far flung) section of the Chicago political map. While this dubious honor probably was not meant to paint the White House as beholden to the political masters of Chicago, it does speak to the mentality and methodology of [...]
The Only Adult In The Running
Posted on 09. Jan, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Yes, I’ll say it: Jon Huntsman is the only Republican (currently vying for his party’s presidential nomination) that could even remotely stand a chance of defeating Barack Obama. There is no doubt in my mind that every other candidate, each of which are wracked with crippling character flaws, will be utterly trounced by Obama’s (There’s [...]

Virile Vampire Sucks Democracy Out Of Russia
Posted on 02. Oct, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
This is a beginning of a series of articles on today’s dictators and despots currently making life miserable for anyone that isn’t them (or their immediate friends). Given the recent events coming out of the Russian Federation, I figured we should start with: Vladimir Putin Beginning of Reign: 1999 Former Jobs: Member of the KGB [...]
Theo’s Twit Of The Week: Anthony Weiner
Posted on 05. Jun, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
And this week’s weiner (errr… winner) is: Anthony Weiner The Twitter account of the spastic Representative of New York’s Ninth District was (supposedly) recently “hacked” by some ne’er-do-well. I’ll not spend any time on the sexy, sexy details of the tweet in question, as you would have to have been living under a rock in [...]
Theo’s Twit Of The Week: Peter DeGraaf
Posted on 27. May, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
As all (in)famous pundits have their own Idiot of Day/Week/Month/Year awards, I thought it was high time that I, Theodore Roe, joined in the fun. Hopefully this will be the first in a long line of lunatic-lampooning articles. Let the lambasting begin! This week’s winner: Peter DeGraaf! Republican Kansas State Representative for District 81 and [...]
