So one day last week I came home from running errands and my neighbor had kids in their backyard pool (again--it's been fairly much of a daily occurrence, and they love to be rather loud and boisterous). Well the little urchins started doing the MARCO/POLO thing (one weekend they did it for over an hour and it's maddening!) and I said, in a conversational voice (and this is a DIRECT QUOTE), "Hey guys, give it a break. You have no idea how annoying it is to hear marco/polo every 2 seconds." And then I went inside. Well the mom comes screaming over to my house, rang the door bell and went into a tirade about how I yelled at the kids (which I didn't) and how I owe them an apology (which I don't). Well she went into a further tirade about how wonderful her kids were and that I had no right to talk to them. I was stunned--told her I was sorry she felt that way. Finally couldn't take anymore (she went on and on about how respectful they are, they don't come home at 11:30pm playing music (don't know what that is about),  yada yada yada and said "whatever" and closed the door. So her little urchin lied to her. Well the bonus is they haven't been in the pool since then and it's been peaceful around here. Next time I hear them out there with their friends I'll just run the lawnmower next to the fence to have my own friendly noise! Oh ya, and I guess (according to the mom) I'm not supposed to EVER (even if in my own yard) say a word to her kids.

No, I'm not being nasty about it--it is their house and they have the right to have whomever over they want, but PLEASE at a certain point it's annoying and pretty un-neighborly. I'd love to have a 10 foot fence on that side of the yard blocking their trashy above ground pool (no deck and kind of looks like it belongs in a trailer park), but that's obviously not going to happen. But good God people, try behaving like adults and perhaps thinking that your snotty little urchin might have exaggerated a bit! This woman went from zero to 90 is a second without considering that we are pretty darned good neighbors who DON'T make noise and take nice care of our house and yard. Get over yourselves.

Now that's some funny stuff!

Illinois Review

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The Devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars. She writes him a check.

Finally, George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he Is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.

When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply. The devil smiles and replies: "Since Obama took over, the country has gone to hell, so it's a local call."

Don't believe this crap

Blago Defense Lawyer Says Client ‘Just Yakking’ as Case Goes to Jury

OH COME ON

So the defense's explanation for Blago is (basically) that he was "accidentally" corrupt. Geez, that certainly doesn't pass the smell test.

CONVICT THIS GUY - SEND HIM TO JAIL - RID THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OF THIS CORRUPT/CREEPY  AND  DISGUSTING PERSON.

Blago is the perfect example of what is wrong with demon-crats and their duped voters. It's time for people to wake up - and I think he provided the caffeine to jog them from their dozing.

Read the stories in the Chicago papers by going to these links:
1. Is Blagojevich a 'silly' victim or a scheming crook?

Dittos Katie--I want to see Bill Brady as the next governor also

I love Illinois--really. I'd like to stay here and someday (I wish, I wish, I wish) I'd like to see my wonderful smart offspring staying here also, working here, serving the people of this State and raising a family here. I really don't want to leave--in spite of hating Chicago winters! But Illinois has become a burdensome tax-crazy state. Between real estate taxes and income taxes, and sales taxes I don't know if we'll be able to afford to stay here as residents when we retire. We're no different than other people--we know what's happened to Illinois--we've become a joke throughout the country. So if you want the joke to end, if you want to be proud of Illinois again, VOTE FOR BILL BRADY and every other Republican on November 2nd. Please help us rid ourselves of the crooks (also known as demon-crats) who have turned our state into a financial cess-pool.

And here's a nice change from the usual political bullsh*t

When you hire someone who has no management or executive skills you get.....wait for it.....NO-BAMA

No-bama gets called out by Republicans

When Blagojevich saw himself destined to be president

You HAVE to read this story by Chuck Goudie about our former governor Blago. WHY would anyone EVER have voted for that gas bag egotistic first class jerk????? ANYONE who voted for him should seriously sit down, have a drink and then question their sanity--or at least admit their judgment has been WRONG and if they ever vote for a demon-crat again they are STILL impaired.

Proof positive Giannoulias is a scum sucker

And where has Giannoulias been? Well, how about out of the country: "The Giannoulias Democratic Illinois Senate campaign confirmed Monday--after prodding from the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee--that Alexi Giannoulias was in Canada on Sunday attending a fund-raiser at a trial lawyer convention in Vancouver that would benefit his Senate campaign."

If that's not a good reason NOT to vote for him, well there are GAZILLIONS of reasons not to vote for him.

In Illinois we are REALLY broke

And here's the story to prove it. Ya, thanks demon-crats. You guys have f***ed us totally. I wish election defeat for EVERY demon-crat.

New Report, More Bad News On Illinois Finances

July 7, 2010

By Bengamin Yount

 

SPRINGFIELD  –  It's pretty much common knowledge that Illinois is broke.  But a new report gives new insight into just how little money the state actually has and how many unpaid bills continue to pile up.

 The July report from Illinois Comptroller Dan Hynes' office details the state's fiscal woes.  Too many bills, too little cash, and a new state budget that ignores serious gaps in revenue.

Check out this video by John Boehner

Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. $113 Billion a Year, Study Finds

"The cost of harboring illegal immigrants in the United States is a staggering $113 billion a year -- an average of $1,117 for every “native-headed” household in America -- according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)."

I'm not willing to pay the tab on that bill. What part of ILLEGAL doesn't no-bama and his thugs understand? And to add insult to the already outrageous bill no-bama and his thugs have filed suit against Arizona today. Shameful.

Thank God for Justice Kennedy

Elections have consequences. Justice Kennedy of the US Supreme Court understands that (even if the dummies who voted for no-bama don't). He said he'll wait for no-bama to be out of office to retire. THANK GOD FOR JUSTICE KENNEDY.

WAYNE ALLYN ROOT: Barack Obama: The great jobs killer

"It's time to call Obama what he is: The Great Jobs Killer. With his massive spending and tax hikes -- rewarding big government and big unions, while punishing taxpayers and business owners -- Obama has killed jobs, he has killed motivation to create new jobs, he has killed the motivation to invest in new businesses, or expand old ones."

The Demon-crat party in America. The party of idiots (and that's insulting idiots)

Remember these arrogant bastards in November. Remember and send them home. DO NOT LET THEM CONTINUE TO KILL OUR COUNTRY.

Oh Pat Quinn, you are such an idiot....

Amid budget woes, state police get hundreds of new cars

"The replacement of some of the state's more than 2,400 cars comes as Gov. Pat Quinn is considering a plan to shutter state police district headquarters and lay off 460 state police employees as part of his bid to close a $13 billion budget gap."

So Mr. Quinn: are you buying those new cars so the troopers can leave them in their driveways or are you going to park them at the closed State Police districts? Geez, what an idiot.

Cardinals' LaRussa supports Arizona immigration law

My husband is a Cardinals fan (he grew up in central Illinois and went to Cardinals games through his life down there). As a Cubs fan it's been "interesting" having a "house divided" in our sports fan-dom, but go to the link and see why we should all support Tony LaRussa. What a good guy!
