Is He Kidding, Or Unclear On The Concept? »

You don’t have to be a Yankees fan (which I am) to have heard the recent brouhaha over Alex Rodriquez (I’m a Derek Jeter fan myself), and his acknowledgment that he used steroids back in 2001 - 2003. It is disturbing, of course - I deplore the use of steroids in baseball (though at [...]

Finally, a Race Card anybody could believe in »

Harry, Harry, Harry. What’s up with you, man?
Say this is not true.
You tell us that armed guards are going to keep Roland Burris from taking his seat. One strike.
But Harry, now this?
Days before Gov. Blagojevich was charged with trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder, top Senate [...]

Chicago Politics »

I saw this headline in my local paper, “Illinois Corruption: Deep Roots, Tough to Weed Out” an AP piece by Sharon Cohen. In this piece, she details the long, long history of corruption in Chicago, and Illinois, politics. Also in this lengthy article, the only mention of Obama, the man who chose to [...]

Now Playing: The Beast That Slimes Chicago »

It’s quite a spectacular big-budget production of ugly, isn’t it? We couldn’t make this stuff up.
Actually, The Beast has been sliming the Windy City for a long time. Organized crime and dirty politics (“vote early and vote often and include your dead family members and pets while you are at it”) dominated Chicago [...]

AYERS VIDEO on Hardball with Chris Matthews »

CHRIS MATTHEWS to Bill Ayers, December 10, 2008, Hardball, MSNBC: “I was a Capitol policeman at the time, so I was one of the guys that could have been killed obviously at the time you put that, your guys put that bomb in there. So I have a little personal interest. It wasn’t [...]

Anatomy of a Divider, Part IB: Why Obama Cannot Unify »

This is the second part of Artemis March’s excellent piece on “Anatomy of a Divider: Why Obama Cannot Unify,” originally published at www.lynettelong.com. If you missed the first one, you can read it HERE.

The Grandiose Self conflates not only his real and fantasy selves, but also self and other. He appropriates people’s goodies as [...]

Post Election Quibbles and Bits »

Well, the election is over and we all need to figure out next steps. However, while we indulge in mulling, there’s stuff going on. Do you know where one of the “front lines” is in international war / finance / fraud? Computers. At least Obama now knows this first hand. [...]

Birds on a Wire »

“You are known by your friends” is a sturdy old saw with a lot of wisdom in it. It’s one thing to buddy up, only to quickly find out that this person violates your deeply-held values about right and wrong and quickly exit the relationship. It’s quite another to know exactly who such people [...]

it isn’t coincidence…there is a pattern »

But sadly, too many people choose to ignore it, or accept it, or just call you a racist for noticing it. But the pattern is there. It begins like this:
Obama has a friend or associate that is questionable.
Video or articles surface of Obama thanking them, supporting them, writing a blurb for their book, organizing events [...]

CORROBORATED: Rezko Speaks, Prosecutors Interested in Obama Listen »

(bumped up by SusanUnPC)

We warned readers of No Quarter of the problems convicted slumlord and political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko would create for Obama during the final stretch of the Presidential campaign, and now we have confirmation. I quote the Associated Press:
CHICAGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have asked to delay the sentencing of convicted [...]

Rezko Speaks, Prosecutors Interested in Obama Listen »

No Quarter reproduced Rezko’s letter to Judge Amy St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 in an essay I published on 12 JUN 2008. I quote Antoin “Tony” Rezko:
Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened. They are pressuring me to tell them the “wrong” things that I supposedly [...]

“CHICAGO MACHINE” »

At the end of his rather provocative story today, Eastan already posted this new video, but just in case you missed it, it’s worth posting above the fold. The campaign couldn’t list all of Obama’s Chicago cronies, so I’ve added some names for you to checkout in the Category list above the story.

In mid-June, [...]

OBAMA AND THE CHICAGO MACHINE »

Reading the commentary written by Dennis Byrne in today’s Chicago Tribune, Obama Sidesteps Reform in Illinois, might give you some perspective on how the political machine works in Chicago. Obama has been bamboozling his supporters from the day he said he would never consider running for President, but those of us who have seen this [...]

“The Hunt For Sarah October” »

Oh. Dear. GODDESS. Are you freakin’ kidding me? I had heard talk of such a thing, but I cannot believe they are actually doing this.
What am I going on about? Well, “The Hunt For Sarah October” is a Wall Street Journal article by John Fund, and it details the onslaught [...]

A Little Recap »

OK, so three out of four of my siblings are Obama people. I don’t know about the fourth - I don’t think he has decided yet. My mother, a STAUNCH Hillary supporter, who is furious with the DNC (and has told them so because of the vote theft, etc.) says she doesn’t know where she [...]

Barack, Michelle, Bill Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn—It’s Not Just The Lies »

Why is Barack Obama and his campaign lying about his relationship and association with William “Bill” Ayers? Consider what Obama said on April 16, 2008 when asked about Ayers at the ABC Primary Debate in Philadelphia:
“This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago who I know [...]

Bloggers Who Think Dig Into Obama Mortgage Loan Story »

Amid the chorus of “nothing to see here, move along” flock of bloggers writing ho-hum responses to today’s Washington Post story, there are a few who are thinking deeper:

Our TexasDarlin pointed out the favorable treatment the Obamas received compared to the “neglected slums” of their impoverished neighbors in unimaginably horrific “public” housing that Obama [...]

Prescience: “Will Rezko Blow Up Obama?” »

Larry Johnson writes the following on 28 JAN 2008:
We may not find out until Rezko’s trial starts on 25 February. Imagine this nightmare scenario. Obama nails down the Democratic nomination for President on Super Tuesday. But then comes the Rezko trial and we learn Obama was doing favors to get an Iraqi felon a visa [...]

The Epistolary Rezko »

The content of Antoin “Tony” Rezko’s letter to Judge St. Eve dated 9 JUN 2008 is so trite it is almost entertaining. The trope of the upwardly mobile immigrant is invoked in order to justify all the fraud and corruption in which he and other Chicago politicians and operatives were engaged. “I am [...]

Obama, We Are Smarter; We Follow the Money, and It Links You to Bill Ayers in the 1980s »

SEN. OBAMA: George, but this is an example of what I’m talking about.
This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.
And the notion [...]
