Still cold and rainy...really lousy weather.  one of these days, global warming will leave us...
Company after company are putting the screws to Gov. Fudd Quinn and demanding concessions in order to stay in Illinois.  When he raised the corporate rate, in addition to the 66% increase in the individual state income tax, what did this genius expect?  and who will be making up the difference when he gives these concessions???  Why, us, of course.  and still, no action whatsoever taken on the $100 plus billion pension shortfall.  We have state representatives talking about giving college scholarships to illegal aliens, but no action on the issues that cost the taxpayer money. 
at least we are giving Oprah a grand sendoff.  the news all abuzz with the cavalcade of stars in town to kiss the ass of celebrate the great Oprah.  I would imagine after her last show, she will be transported directly to heaven...but it will be a special heaven, one that none of us regular folks are good enough to be let into.  what a crock of bs.
and, my God - did you see the picture of the trenchcrawler that Gov. Arnold had a kid with?  yuck.  what was he thinking?? ick.  again, a fine example of our leaders.  what scumbags.

surprisingly, gas has not gone down at all...I guess that 20 dollar drop in the price of a barrel of oil may take a bit longer to find its way to the pump...unless we get more rain, or if the gas inventory decreases, or if China buys more oil, or if the middle east unrest continues, or if...
what a crock.  at least the Bulls game is on tonight.

Will winter never end?  This weather sucks - can't do anything outside.  and, looking at the pics I post, you know I love to be outside. so, Gov. Fudd   Quinn has come up with yet another bit of geniusness....giving a tax break to families with kids.  http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/pat-quinn-taxes-state-illinois-speech-families-20120128 at a time with a bottomless pit of a budget deficit, and handing out tax breaks to every corporation threatening to leave Illinois, we are cutting more taxes to a special group...now, just who do you suppose will be asked to make up the difference?  and, of course, when the TEMPORARY income tax increase expires, what then. How ya coming on fixing the pension mess, Einstein??? Gov. Quinn:  please tell us your IQ.  If the question confuses you , please make a confused face and answer with your fingers. Does anyone miss the obligatory outdoors pic?

finally Friday. due to the overwhelming success of my Ghost Moose story (in my own mind), here is a parable entitled: THE WOLVES In a nice town where wolves were not indigenous, a wolf showed up...then another wolf....then many wolves.  The townspeople asked the government to help them get rid of the wolves...the government said "no - we will set out food for the wolves, and make them places to live".  the townspeople said "but we don't want wolves around here.  they take up space that we townspeople built, and we cannot go there because it is unsafe due to the wolves.  the wolves have gotten into our schools, and our kids cannot learn at the right pace because the teachers are too busy dealing with problems caused by the wolves.  we do not want wolves around, so please stop feeding them and making places for them to live."  The government said no - wolves are ok, and we even want them to vote in your elections.  Get used to the wolves, they ain't goin

Not much left in 2011...and each day we are a bit closer to spring... The toilet that is Illinois will be enacting over 200 new laws at the start of 2012. http://www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/metro/new-year-comes-with-more-than-200-new-illinois-laws-2012-20111228 In these laws, I cannot find: - a law limiting pension abuse, and illegal enrichment - a law limiting the public's exposure to pension debt - a law prohibiting insider deals from  politicians - a law prohibiting municipalities from selling assets that have been paid for by citizens - a law prohibiting illigal aliens from parasitically consuming resources paid for by legal residents the list could go on forever.  these 200 new laws are largely to keep the middle class in line so the rich can continue to be richer. and if you throw out your compter, prepare to be fined. Illinois - what a shithole.
