Posted on 12. Apr, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
The Teachers’ Retirement System is broke and it is largely the fault of the state government, at least according to TRS Executive Director Dick Ingram. According to new numbers making the rounds throughout Illinois, the Teachers’ Retirement System may be insolvent as soon as 2030 because the state legislature has repeatedly delayed or flat out [...]

Posted on 03. Apr, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
This Week’s line-up of numbskulls and idjits is entirely composed of White House folks! Get ready for a buffet of BS so lavish that it makes Martha Johnson’s spending spree look like a Superbowl smorgasbord after half time! Barack Obama “Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Halal Cyber Censorship

The Iranian government, which has been lovingly lambasted repeatedly by yours truly in the past, made news again the last few days. The Ayatollah’s lackeys, no doubt upon the order of their theocratic puppet master, have essentially made it impossible for people within Iran to access SSL/TLS websites (basically any site that uses https instead [...]
Romney Gets Trumped
Posted on 03. Feb, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Politics
After much hemming and hawing, The Donald has finally (hopefully?) decided not to throw his hat into the 2012 Presidential race and support one of the four remaining Republican candidates. Speculation was swirling around who exactly Trump would endorse for the Republican nomination. Wednesday the rumor mill was flooded with reports that Newt Gingrich would [...]
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 [...]
The Only Adult In The Running
Posted on 09. Jan, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Yes, I’ll say it: Jon Huntsman is the only Republican (currently vying for his party’s presidential nomination) that could even remotely stand a chance of defeating Barack Obama. There is no doubt in my mind that every other candidate, each of which are wracked with crippling character flaws, will be utterly trounced by Obama’s (There’s [...]
Theo’s Twit Of The Week: Sarah Palin
Posted on 25. Dec, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
This week’s Twit must have had a Death Panel visit her popularity rating in Alaska! Get ready for some One Nation bus tour style hi-jinks with everyone’s favorite half-term Governor: Sarah Palin Sarah Palin must be getting desperate. In all the shuffle and general hub-bub of the Republican primary debates, it seems that TV and [...]
Theo’s Twit Of The Week: Dmitry Medvedev
Posted on 27. Nov, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
This week’s Twit must have slipped into a time machine set for October of 1962, because he thinks a Russian threat of a missile strike might intimidate the United States. It’s time to don your party pins and join in the stupidity of: Dmitry Medvedev Every now and then, it seems like Russia forgets exactly [...]
