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 [...]
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 [...]

In early 2007, I was having dinner with Cardinal Francis George and Lord Black of Crossharbour, along with a few others.

Posted on 25. Sep, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
In a world where Republicans constantly have to fight against the unfair stereotype that they are all bigoted, homophobic, fundamentalist Luddites, there always seems to be a few bigoted, homophobic fundamentalist Luddite Republicans that are more than happy to spew their rancid stupidity all over the airwaves at the drop of the hat. That’s why [...]
Elmwood Park’s Finest – Part II
Posted on 15. Sep, 2011 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Organized Crime
By the time you finish reading this article, I might remind you of Clara Peller, the now late Chicago-born actress, whose fame stems from a Wendy’s commercial and her deadpan delivery of the line, “Where’s the beef?!” My concern, however, does not revolve around an obsession with ground chuck.

Posted on 12. Jun, 2011 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events
For those of you that follow the Conrad Black case, you know that the government recently filed harsh exhibits in their sentencing memoranda. The government tried to portray Conrad as an arrogant elitist that sees himself as if he were above rules and laws, therefore not deserving of leniency in his new sentencing hearing scheduled [...]
