John Ardelean DUI: Judge Throws Out Bulk Of Incriminating Evidence Against Cop (VIDEO)

Travesty. Farce. Mockery. Take your pick -- they all apply. This is a complete and utter miscarriage of justice. This cop was caught red-handed on video doing shots of alcohol just minutes before he smashed into the car of two twenty-something young men and ended their lives. And surprise, surprise, he gets away with it in Cook County, IL. I have a bit of personal experience in this area, as I was hit by a drunk driver who was also allowed to walk away without punishment. Luckily, though very badly injured -- I survived. These two poor young men are dead because of the callous, careless disregard for the public safety displayed by the horrible cop. This is such a shameful example of the "blue code of silence" that cops & officers of the courts have used here in Chicago for decades, and sadly it still exists and injures the public that they are sworn to protect! Shame!

Want Another Warren Court? Try Justice Warren

I am a big fan of Elizabeth Warren. She's a straight-shooter, something that is almost unheard of in Washington D.C. I saw her interviewed on Rachel Madow's show and she said that while flattered, she would turn down an offer to be on the Supreme Court. But...I have a feeling that if -- IF -- it were offered to her, she would accept it graciously. I think she has the potential to be a game-changer!

Kathy Griffin Has Public Pap Smear, Shows Off Vagazzling (PHOTOS)

Surely there are better, less self-promoting ways for Kathy Griffin to use her minor celebrity status to help prevent cervical cancer! As someone who used to organize large protests, I am fully aware of the shock value of this kitschy idea. And if it helps -- great! But honestly, wouldn't it be much better and longer-lasting if she brought cameras along with her on the Walk for a Cure, or perhaps do a media tour brining along actual cervical cancer survivors to tell their stories? I think so.

Tea Parties Protest Tax Day 2010 (PICTURES, VIDEO)

Look through these pictures of the Tea Klux Klan rallies around the country today. Notice anything unusual? NOT one single person of color protesting or speaking in ANY of the pictures. So where are all the African Americans? Asian Americans? Indian Americans? Hispanic Americans? One would think, that being a minority in this country, they would have some pretty strong opinions on taxation, immigration, etc. Yet there is not a single non-white person shown. This is about as close to a white-power movement this country has had in decades -- and it's disgusting. These people are terrified of change. They're terrified of the future. And they're trying to reverse it and go "back" to a time when women, minorities, and gays all stayed out of site and kept quiet. But it's too late. They cannot hold back progress. The Tea Klux Klan rallies are the last gasp of breath from a dying movement -- of white men being the majority and always getting their way. The end cannot come soon enough!

Classic Chicago Commercials: Eagleman, Moo & Oink And More (VIDEOS, POLL)

I loved those Moo & Oink commercials so much, I contacted the store and bought a Moo & Oink t-shirt back in the early 90's.



As for classic Chicago commercials, you can't forget "Timmy" the Long Chevrolet newspaper boy; Nick Cellozi & Morry Edelson "where you always save more money", or the classic jingle: "Hudson-3-27-hundred".



Too many of my teen years spent watching Chicago TV I'm afraid. :-)
