barry panders to St Loius pizziera

April 14, 2009

If there was any doubt as to barry’s MO of political expedience and pandering to swing states there is no longer. One thing that is sacred in Chicago is pizza. Any homegrown Chicagoan or loyal Chicago politician would know that. barry is neither. For the Inauguration barry flew in his favorite pizza from the southside, which looked like a congealed mass of cheese. It was not deep dish and it did not look like something a man who eats arugula would even take a bite of. He was simply pandering to his neighborhood. But now that he’s president he’s only looking to remain elected and Chicago loyalty doesn’t matter - to him. Chicago’s economy rests in large part on tourism and a big part of that is pizza. Pizza that’s good enough for the troops in Iraq but not barry. His filthiness knows no bounds.

Can anyone name one thing that barry truly believes in other than himself?

BARRY: It’s the best pizza I’ve ever eaten.

"Bleeping Blago Burger"

January 6, 2009

Kuma's Corner on Belmont Avenue in Chicago is serving a "Bleeping Blago Burger".

It's served between two American cheese sandwiches, topped with bologna and has a large $ in mustard on the top.

The rest of their menu has Heavy Metal titles: Black Sabbath, Metallica, Led Zeppelin...

How about a "Pay-to-play" pup. A hot dog with everything and extra shredded lettuce on top.

Quote of the day: "I don't think I'm a cuckoo"

December 22, 2008

In September, Blagojevich and Mayor Daley had a curious exchange about the mass transit problem in Chicago. It gives a little insight into their relationship. The CTA has an ongoing problem with its budget and Blago blames it on mismanagement of funds and Daley blames it on the seniors ride free program that started in March.

Chicago Tribune's DAN MIHALOPOULOS (9-15)

Mayor Richard Daley said Monday that Gov. Rod Blagojevich's claim the mayor and the CTA are misleading the public about transit funding problems is "cuckoo." Daley quickly followed up his one-word response by saying he was "not getting into an argument" with Blagojevich. "He's arguing with everybody in America."

Blagojevich responded. MONIQUE GARCIA:

BLAGOJEVICH: Look, I have a great deal of respect for Mayor Daley, I don't think I'm cuckoo, but I will tell you what drives me crazy and what drives me crazy is the CTA blaming years of mismanagement on senior citizens taking the bus for free. I just think again blaming the seniors and blaming a good thing like that for the mismanagement of the CTA to lay a foundation for a fare increase is unfortunate.

And I don't consider myself cuckoo but that kind of stuff drives me crazy.

Now you have a baseline.
