"There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working. Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago. 221 killed in Iraq; AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
It is interesting that Obama came from this state. Here are a few of the Democrats that have been in office in Recent years:
Senator: Obama, Senator: #$%$ Durbin · House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. · Governor: Pat Quinn · House leader: Mike Madigan · Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike) · Mayor: Rohm Emanuel ·
The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats. · Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago. · Of course, they're all blaming each other. · Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any! ·
Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?
George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the prison.
He was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is, that's right, also in the prison.
And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago, because he is fighting to not be sent to...that's right, prison.
The Land of Lincoln, where the governors make the license plates.
But you know what?
As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.
Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the {American Indian}."
When Jordan's sons defended him a few years ago against claims that Kobe was better, they were in college and had the vocabulary of two-year olds. Michael and his wife didn't even have the sense to have them shut up.
Slang, hood-talk, that's one thing. But their speech was the most illiterate I have ever heard; period. They were lousy players, too but I guess the college had no minimum entrance levels. When Magic left Michigan State after 2 years, he was an embarrassment to our college system and must have had others take his exams, maybe for money; I don't know. But he did change but only AFTER leaving college. That's NOT how it should be.
It's a joke - the IHSA has no idea how widespread the problem is. Not only do coaches cheat, but so do the parents. They give up guardianship to another relative in a different district so their son or daughter can play a sport at another school. It happens all the time. A kid can just bounce around and play at any school every year - as long as they have relatives in those communities. Homewood Flossmor in IL - girls basketball just forfeited every game and were disqualified from the playoffs due to the same issue. Four girls were from Bolingbrook High School and didn't even live in the area, but their parents filled out the required paperwork and bam......my kid now goes to HF.......It's a joke, football and basketball are the two worst when it comes to cheating. Crete Monee in IL had a starting defensive tackle on their team that didn't even live in the district when they won there state championship - he would drop his sister off at one school then drive down to Crete. He came back to the school with his sister after Crete won a state championship in football??? He came back in January so he could graduate with his friends. His parents live about a mile from the school he's supposed to be going to for all four years - but again fill out some paper work - get a state championship ring - then transfer back - it's a joke. Watching Crete win with at least one Illegal player out of district was just wrong. Everyone should win with their own guys - play by the rules, get a 2.0 - Heck if you can't get 5 or 6 C's then you need to quit sports. IHSA - shame on you - it happens all the time.
