The 9/11 Hijackers Were Not Muslims
Posted on 14. Aug, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
While it was late in coming, at least our Commander-in-Chief finally stood up for the civil rights of Americans. In the battle between irrational hatred and embracing the ideals of freedom and liberty that this country stands for, President Obama chose the latter. “As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the [...]
Fair Trial For Blago?
Posted on 17. May, 2010 by Betty Loren-Maltese in Analysis, Politics
Fair trial for Blago? Anyone with any common sense and knowledge of the federal judicial system has to realize that former Governor Blagojevich cannot get a fair trial in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois and/or the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The jury pool, not only in Illinois but across the [...]
Blagojevich Will Go Down Swinging
Posted on 24. Apr, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Politics
A lot of us that have been watching the legal proceedings surrounding Rod Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois, have been waiting for the circus to begin. The only real salvo from the Blagojevich camp so far has been the accusation that Patrick Fitzgerald, the United States Attorney in charge of the prosecution, does not [...]
An Attack On NASA Is An Attack On American Innovation
Posted on 14. Apr, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
What makes America great is not our size. We are outnumbered by the Chinese, but we are certainly not out-gunned mentally. We are not the greatest nation in the world because we have the most guns, or the largest army or the best pizza. The U.S. is not composed of the most ruthless people in [...]
Obama’s Slick Move To Lift Ban On Offshore Drilling Is A Bit Crude
Posted on 31. Mar, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
Well, he was for it before he was against it, evidently. Where candidate Obama decries the Bush and Cain policy of offshore drilling. And where, two years later, he embraces drilling as “part of a broader strategy” to make America energy independent. Funny what a difference a few years, a new job and a massive [...]
The DNC Self-Executes Their Credibility
Posted on 18. Mar, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Politics
The meandering path towards government-run healthcare has taken yet another turn for the worse. Right on the heels of Massachusetts’ historic rejection of all things Democrat came promises that no underhanded tactics would be used to pass this monumental debacle of a health care bill. Then we had the move to pass the Senate bill [...]
A Washington Where Every Day Is Election Day
Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Last night saw the first State of the Union speech of President Barack Obama. Expectations ran a wide range. There were several indications that he would make a move towards the center, the safe bet in America, especially in today’s political climate. This is the sort of pandering a consummate politician, like Bill Clinton, would [...]
"Groundhog Day is OURS!!!!!!"
Posted on 09. Jan, 2010 by Theodore Roe in Politics
A political scrape of epic proportions was shaping up this week. Not since the Jeremiah Wright fiasco have we seen such a volatile issue boil out of the cracks, seemingly from nowhere. The writing was on the wall, though, if you had the good sense to notice it. Luckily, the cataclysm was narrowly averted. At [...]
Good Money After Bad: The Fed Gives Fanny And Freddie Limitless Funds
Posted on 28. Dec, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
The news wire (pardon the anachronism) was buzzing today about the Treasury’s decision to remove the 200 billion dollar cap on aid to drowning mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The two companies have been in government conservatorship since the sub-prime housing bubble popped late last year. Word of the new blank check the [...]
Rampant In Chicago, Organized Crime Tightens Grip On 51st Ward
Posted on 07. Dec, 2009 by Joseph Fosco in Organized Crime, Politics
The Duff Family, who were dear friends and close union associates of my late relative Jack ‘Romie’ Nappi, are purported to be extremely close with Mayor Richard M. Daley. For those of you that do not know of the Duffs, they are the bosses of a labor union that represents the men and women of [...]
