John Callaway, Walter Jacobson, and the Gov
Sig Other and myself caught the end of Callaway's show and watched his interview with Jacobson.
Jacobson said Blagojevich is in trouble (whow), said how disappointed he was Blagojevich failed to live up to his reform promises, and then concluded with he's really a guy with a good heart, but not too swift intellectually.
I've never felt the Gov a dunce. It's some of the dumbest commentary I've heard; and Jacobson a Grinnell grad too.
WTTW would be better off getting Illinoize on screen (including Skeeter) and the public would get lots more then they did last night.
None of us would probably cut as nice a look in a suit as Jacobson but that's what virtual, remote technology is for.

Skippy seemed pole-axed. Callaway should know better.
You expectations of a hayseed town of Iowa’s college Grinnell being of stature is silly. Northwestern or University of Chicago are about the only Midwestern Colleges of substance. Otherwise you must go east young man.

Morning Doc,
Nope - Grinnell does not have the cache of Brown, Yale, Harvard, or William & Mary, but its OK for us Midwestern types.
Glad I didn't name the kids Increase, Purchase, Commerce or Worth, instead of Conor, Nora, and Clare - but that's just me.

Pat Hickey ( 22 ACT in 1969)
Purchase, Commerce and Worth--maybe Leo kids names
or dictionary words for an CBOT class
I had over 30 ACT but no Ivy League and am considered minority by US government
I am pro Catholic just like Hickey,
but can't stand the racist political pigs he always defends
the doc is an elitist that hurts us all
Skippy's best days are behind him
Leave Walter alone, it is anti-semitism attacking Walter
Hickey is probably in league with the Knights of Columbus and Mel Gibson and Fr. Coughlin
I was in League with Joe Prizzi at Murray Park, but that was long ago - we were on the Braves.
Fat George,
What's the point here?
What was the point of Fat George?
Bill,
Must have been a lame anit-Italian segue to the above posted allusion to my old pal Col. Joe Prizzi U.S.M.C. (ret.)
Rosemont does have some legitimate organized crime connections according to AG Lisa Madigan. I am not sure what it has to do with this particular post except Jacobson had some good mob stories, I liked the one with Lombardo's lawyer.
The anti-Italian sequeway was the 19th ward taking over everything giving the Irish everything and cutting out Italians and playind divide and conquer.
Uh, Huh. Those belts tight on your arms and shoulders, or can you get some movement?
You almost have mastered the use of gerunds. Next we'll try some complete thoughts. Don't spill.
The interview was done in May.
Actually Hickey, it seems legitimate than when Daley came to power in 89 and Sheehan in 90 and the already present Hynes (followed by Houlihan) and Devine in 96--(the fall of the 1st ward and neutering of the 36th and lack of leadership) completely cut out Italians out of the Democratic party and Chicago so called machine.
In 1990 there was Marty Russo and Frank Annunzio. HOW MANY ITALIAN AMERICANS ARE CONGRESSMAN IN THE CHICAGO AREA???? NONE ZERO
In 1990 there was a state constitutional officer in Treasurer Cosentino. How many are there now??? NONE ZERO
But there are now a number of IRISH, Quinn--Irish Lite Gov
Lisa Madigan--Irish South Side
Little Danny Hynes (the one who tried to badmouth or his people rather Barack Prince Obama to the press for youthful indiscretions)
Irish your 19th ward
Jesse White--Black and Jewish an exception to the rule
and Tommy Dart tried to take out Judy Bar the genius Topinka and he is from the 19th ward
NO ITALIANS, lots of South Side Irish, more than 1990
How many Italians in City offices?
DO WE EVEN HAVE A CLERK????
Italians used to have control of Streets and Sanitation and some other departments or sub but NOW NOTHING, HDO and the 19th ward CUT THEM OUT NASTY
Sure, some guys got really really rich, like Freddie Barbera, Oscar Dangelo and Marchsese
but not much trickle down
Even Jim Ryan the former Attorney General (part Italian and Stuart Levines classmate and recipient of 500,000 of his money) was influenced and supported by Jeremiah "I am defended semper by Pat Hickey" Joyce
So your Colonel baseball buddy may have fought for Democracy, but not in Chicago. Diversity and inclusion may be cool but not for Italians. It is hard to argue with ZERO, statistics may lie but ZERO IS STILL ZERO.
Even your buddy Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr called some candidate for office (people think it is pasta but is not) after a mussel dish. If Billy Banks called Jackson an eggplant head it would be front page. The racial statements of the 19th ward Irish politicos (every block with a judge and a sheriffs vehicle)never seem to make the papers. Jesse White's people actually have an audiotape of someone you know but it will probably never see the light of day.
Balkanized, divde and conquer politics mostly for the benefit of SOUTH SIDE IRISH.

sing us the rest of the ballad Patricio
'Here 'Tis! -
Penso che un sogno cos?non ritorni mai pi? oh, oh, oh!
Nel blu, dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lass?
Hickey is singing the Pangea Lingua with the Knights of Columbus.
I would like to hear Hickey, after a couple of libations, sing the Clancy brothers (maybe the Man behind the wire)
BUT PLEASE do not have Hickey sing any Motown (regardless of where he teaches), Mariachi ballads (even if Hickey thinks Mexicans are the next Irish, where can I apply for the next job?) , or Andrea Bocelli (regardless of 19th ward Italian political empowerment)
I question the ability to sing of Cal and Bill Barr too.
Mike, Thanks for the pick up on that error!
All the best, My man!
BTW - Just what ARRRRRRRRREE they stockpiling over there in Ioway? Hope it's Slim Jims for the coming Apocalypse!
