19 People Shot Overnight in Chicago

Will Mayor Blame Chick-Fil-A?


In a particularly bloody night of this brutal Chicago summer, 19 people were shot throughout the city of Chicago Thursday night into early Friday morning, including 13 who were hit between 9:15 and 9:45 p.m. During that period 8 people—many of them teens—were shot at 79th Street and Essex Avenue.

The terror ended just after 1:30 a.m. Friday, when a 17-year-old was shot in the Homan Square neighborhood. The overnight shootings were concentrated in Chicago’s south and west neighborhoods, which have had a devastating summer with shootings and homicides in the gang-plagued area. In the first 20 days of August, 38 people were killed.

It looks as though Chicago has it's own war zone. I'm sure that if this continues to escalate, the mob will declare martial law through the use of government officials.

BTW, doesn't Chicago and the state of Illinois have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation? How's that working for ya?

I wonder if Sharpton and Jackson will be holding demonstrations there soon? I hear Kevlar is in style there this time of year...

Sorry guys, that welfare check just isn't making the payments and insurance on junior's black escalade...

But we all know the sad truth: it's all Bush's fault...

I suppose, as long as the Mayor can throw the vile Chick-Fil-A out of town, order will be restored and his administration a success! Could a Nobel Peace Prize be on the horizon?

And the answer to your final question, "No, I haven't been drinking..." DC

The reason Obama is so desperate to get Romney's tax returns is because Obama wants to show his base voters what a tax return looks like.

174,000 Rounds of .357 Ammo for Social Security

In the same way that we should think of every gun as loaded, we should think of old people as armed and dangerous. They must be dealt with severely when they become a threat to the public.

This is why the Social Security Administration has ordered 174,000 rounds of .357 ammunition. And not just .357. Hollow point .357′s. You know: dum-dums. Small hole going in, large gaping hole going out. The Tea Party Economist

Obama Spent Stimulus $ On MSNBC Political Ads

The Labor Department paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal stimulus funds to a public relations firm to run more than 100 commercials touting the Obama administration’s “green training” job efforts on two popular MSNBC cable shows, records show.

Ultimately, the firm negotiated ad buys for “two approved spots” airing 14 times per week for two months on “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” and “The Rachel Maddow Show,” according to a project report, which listed the number zero under a section of the report asking how many jobs had been created through the stimulus contract.
