GOP Social Shortfalls Give Obama Fodder For Reelection
Posted on 13. May, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Barack Obama has stolen the spotlight yet again, and he did it with the joyful help of the Republican party. The Luddite evangelical fringe of the GOP which has so often torpedoed any hopes of truly Republican (which are inherently Libertarian) social sensibilities made it quite simple for Barack Obama to put out an incredibly [...]

Gangster Willie “Potatoes” Daddono Sr. & John Joseph Rainone
Posted on 04. Apr, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Organized Crime
When Chicago Gangster Willie “Potatoes” Daddono Sr. armed a feeble Jewish man of the very cleaning service that feeds select members of the Daddono family to this day, I doubt he ever thought a person by the name of John Joseph Rainone would be getting a piece of the pie, even if that slice amounted [...]

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 [...]
Gamey Changes
Posted on 11. Mar, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Politics
If you haven’t picked it up yet, Game Change, an expose of the politicking behind the 2008 presidential election cycle, is an interesting look at how elections are won nowadays. While I might have some political issues with Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, it turns out they are both pretty good writers. Their access, particularly [...]
Theo’s Twit Of The Week: George Cardenas
Posted on 17. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics

Posted on 11. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
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 [...]
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 [...]
