Posted on 06. Apr, 2013 by Frank Coconate in Current Events, Politics
Public School closings in Chicago have divided the community.

The Outfit has been a dominant force in Chicago for nearly 100-years, and, despite a scorched earth campaign waged against them by the federal government over the last several decades, these princes of crime are still alive and well.

Jesse Jackson Jr., absentee congressman that won his spot in the U.S. House of Representatives back without even campaigning for it, has resigned his seat, thus ending another chapter in the Chicago Machine’s greedy, back-stabbing, money-grubbing story of political domination.
