Your Guide To The Illinois Democratic Presidential Primary
Posted on 19. Mar, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Politics
Everyone else has written primers for the people of Illinois for the RNC’s primary on Tuesday, so I felt I should help the Democrats get some skin in the game. Why should Romney’s lame election humor, Santorum’s quest for a bigger, better theocracy, Gringrich’s last burbling gasp and Paul’s seemingly unending Texas rodeo of liberty [...]
Emanuel And Daley Agree On One Thing, At Least
Posted on 02. Mar, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
In his less than a year in office, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has done a lot to move himself out of the shadow of his predecessor, Richard M. Daley. Emanuel’s administration is much more concerned with wooing TV and print media than his predecessor. Daley was notoriously gruff when it came to dealing with reporters. [...]
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 [...]

Joseph Giacchino v. John Lagattuta, Et Al
Posted on 19. Jul, 2011 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events
If I did not know Joseph Giacchino as well as I do, I would be somewhat surprised by the recent court complaint that he caused to have filed in Cook County’s Chancery Division last week. Giacchino’s sad little quest (equal parts tragedy and comedy) to regain his medical license seems to be never-ending. Apparently he [...]
An Overall Victory For Conrad Black
Posted on 27. Jun, 2011 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events
Conrad Black, victim of the infamous Hollinger Special Committee Report, once faced more than a dozen felony charges, millions of dollars in forfeitures and dozens of years in prison. Today Conrad stands largely victorious, sustaining a libel victory against authors of the Special Committee Report and defeating the bulk of the scurrilous charges brought against [...]
Joseph Giacchino’s Victimization Of My Grandmother
Posted on 14. Jun, 2011 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Organized Crime
More than a year after the suspension of his medical license, Joseph Giacchino is still awaiting a verdict from the State of Illinois, desperately hoping his medical license is fully restored. Out of deep love for my late maternal grandmother, I pray that Giacchino is never in the position to victimize anyone ever again while [...]

When Tony was a young man he was very close with “Blind Louie” Cavallaro, a business associate of my father’s in the 1960s. The combination of Tony having a rich history with a dear friend of my dad, Blind Louie, [...]
