More Guns And Looser Gun Laws = More Gun-related Deaths. And Conceal Carry Didn’t Help A Bit

June 28th, 2009 · 9 Comments

Excuse me for taking a break in my life from Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and the Iranian situation, but does anybody remember ANY of our major news networks spending a lot of time on this story?
I mean, the report came out just last month, based on statistics from the CDC. From the story (emphasis [...]

Minnesota’s Embarrassment Announces She’ll Be Breaking Law Willingly

June 26th, 2009 · 5 Comments

Nutbag, er, Michele Bachmann, the absolutely moronic woman who somehow got elected to represent a district in Minnesota, has announced she will NOT be obeying federal law come census time.
This freakshow calls the census an “invasion of her privacy”, and says:
“We will give the number of people in our home, and that’s where we’re [...]

Take Down The Freakin’ W’s Already

June 25th, 2009 · 3 Comments

So this summer I’m seeing more of these white flags with a blue “W” on them, and I don’t know what they are. Some of my employees educated me to the “we put these out whenever the Cubs win the day before” reason for these flags. Only on wins? No wonder I haven’t often seen [...]

Another Senseless Gun Death In A Senseless Country

June 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments

A sickening story.
Another g-damn loon with a g-damn gun who probably g-damn legally acquired it has killed a good man. Scratch that. A great man. A hero to a small town. A town that just went through the trauma of being leveled by a tornado. A town that saw it’s collective spirit picked up [...]

Wow, This Is Gonna Be A Riot!

June 23rd, 2009 · No Comments

Let’s see if I have this straight…about 6 months into the Obama presidency, which means about 18 months until the next campaign starts by the GOP, and here’s who the Repubs have for favorites, in no particular order:
- A Southern Governor (Sanford – S.C.) who goes AWOL to avoid his four kids on Father’s Day [...]

Does Northwoods Pay For This I Hope?

June 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment

Heading out of Peoria on Alta Road around noon today, and I had to stop for the traffic control – two Peoria County Deputies being pulled out of serious duty to direct traffic (I’m assuming this is the much-discussed Northwoods Church post-service traffic jam).
My question…does Northwoods pay these deputies so the county doesn’t [...]

Stay Classy, Cubs Organization

June 16th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I don’t pay much attention to baseball anymore, outside of checking the standings here and there. But what with Sosa’s name back in the news (one of the guys who made me feel the way I know feel about baseball), and the latest folly at Wrigley Dump this evening, I gotta comment.
I understand 40,000 people [...]

Least Surprising Headline of The Day, Part Deux

Report: Sosa tested positive for steroids in 2003
Wow. Knock me over with a feather. Didn’t see that one comin’.
NOT!
It’s about time this jackass’ name finally got exposed. What a joke. What a freakin’ joke he was/is/and always will be. Eat it, f’en Cub fans in denial. Your boy was right in there with Bonds, [...]

Least Surprising Headline of The Day, Part 1

June 16th, 2009 · No Comments

Schock says closing Guantanamo poses risks to U.S.
Really? What a…pardon the pun…shock. Hint to PJS editorial desk. You could have saved a couple of words by just typing:
Schock Spouts Party Line
See? Much easier, plus you can reuse it on a regular basis. You’re welcome.
Oh, and to Aaron…you had to leave the country to say [...]

There’s Lies, Damn Lies, And Then There’s Sean Hannity

June 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment

What color is the sky in Sean Hannity’s world? (I know, I know, it’s pretty much already been established that he’s f’en nuts.) I subscribed to his “newsletter” recently, for a couple of daily yuks while I’m getting ready for the day. And Sean doesn’t disappoint. But this week he has gone beyond simple [...]

Good Move By Area Schools

June 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I wish I had the link so I could add it to this post, but I recently saw where many area schools, specifically those Middle Schools in the Peoria School District, scaled back the “celebration” of “graduating” from the 8th grade.
Good move. Seriously. Absolutely the right call.
When I saw this story back in April, [...]
