If you haven’t heard already, DePaul University and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel are collaborating in a plan to build a home for the DePaul Blue Demons at McCormick Place Convention Center.

It is a rare state of affairs when you find the sane people of the United States agreeing with the Republican reactionary establishment on any point, but it is difficult (or at least politically inexpedient) to come out on the side of censorship in the United States. On Friday officials at the IRS admitted that, [...]
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.

Posted on 27. Apr, 2013 by Lucy Raed in Analysis, Politics
The cheerleaders of the military industrial complex are revving themselves up for yet another American misadventure overseas. Sketchy, second-hand reports have appeared that seem to confirm the limited use of sarin gas by forces under the control of president-for-life Bashar al-Assad against Syrian rebels. President Obama had previously marked the use of chemical weapons in [...]

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 [...]

On the other hand, Mayor Rahm Emanuel says the closures will save the cash-strapped city millions. While [...]

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 [...]
