Leap day.  kind of a ripoff if you think of it - we work one more day this year for no extra pay.

Thanks to Kent for sending this article:
http://mchenrycountyblog.com/2011/03/20/roger-keats-says-good-bye-to-crook-county-illinois/

a former Illinois politician giving his farewell to the shithole that is Illinois.  Take a read...when it is all laid out in one article, it paints a pretty stark picture of just how scummy Illinois is.  There ain't no fixing what is wrong with this state...because it is wrong only in the opinion of those who pay taxes, don't collect a pension, and follow the rules made up by the scumbag politicians.

and here is another indicator of how the scumbag politicians do what they want...and expect us to pay:

Apparently the IL lawmakers passed a pension loophole for themselves in 1990. They can make a onetime payment and can significantly increase their monthly pension; In Beavers case, for a onetime payment 68K, he bumped his City pension from 2800 to 6300 per month…14 month payback. If Beavers would have used his own money, it would have been perfectly legal.

Defendant Masked His Personal Use of Campaign Funds to Increase his Pension Annuity
Through False Campaign Records
10. It was further part of the corrupt endeavor that on or about November 14, 2006,
defendant WILLIAM BEAVERS caused a $68,763.07 check to be issued from the Citizens for
Beavers checking account to a City of Chicago employee pension fund in order to obtain a larger
annuity upon retirement and caused the campaign committee not to accurately report the check’s
true purpose in its books and records.

Beavis contributed a one time payment, then his pension almost tripled.

eacho peas sheeple.

cook county...what a shithole.

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.
