Rezko Ready to Sing?

The Sun-Times is hinting toward the possibility that former Chicago slum lord, convicted felon and political ally of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-Chicago) and Senator Barack Obama (D-Chicago) Tony Rezko may finally be ready to tell federal prosecutors what he knows about the dirty inner workings of the Chicago Machine.

At this point, all we have to go on is speculation, since no announcement has been made by the Feds. What we do know is that Rezko’s sentencing has been put on hold, which indicates that he may be (and probably is) talking. The other great unknown is how much damaging information Rezko may have on either Obama or Blagojevich. Earlier this year, Rezko wrote a two page letter to U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve claiming that he had not been party to any illegal activities involving either the Governor or the Senator.

Was Rezko merely covering for his pals, or does he really lack the kind of air tight, rock solid knowledge that could torpedo King Rod and the False Messiah? One must wonder.

If Rezko does have anything of value to share, there’s no time like the present. With less than a month to go before the election, time is running out. As for Blagojevich, his reign of terror has gone on long enough. It’s time for Tony to sing so the Feds can take out the trash.

Two Words and an Acronym: Early, Often and ACORN

Barack Obama has suddenly pulled ahead in ten of eleven key battle ground states, including Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. McCain still leads in Missouri. Not shockingly, serious allegations of voter fraud are being investigated in all eleven of those states, with Obama’s longtime pals at ACORN out front and center. In Ohio, ACORN has actually admitted that “it cannot keep fraud out of its voter registration operation” This according to Fox News.

In Nevada, ACORN claimed to have registered “Tony Romo” and “Terrell Owens” of the Dallas Cowboys and the FBI raided ACORN’s Nevada offices Tuesday looking for evidence of fraud.

The Fox article gives a state by state rundown of ACORN’s seedy activities, so go read the whole thing now. Remember also that Nancy Pelosi and friends saw fit to include a $100 million cash payout to ACORN as part of the infamous bailout package, before it was stripped out of the bill by House Republicans.

Pajamas Media is also reporting that in Indianapolis, for example, 105% of the total population is now registered to vote. Again, we’re not just talking about 105% of eligible voters, which would be suspicious enough. We’re talking about 105% of the city’s population.

The way it looks right now, Obama has taken his filthy Chicago style machine tactics nationwide with the help of ACORN, and we are rapidly becoming the United States of Illinois. Our country is being stolen out from under us as we speak. Even if Obama wins in a landslide on November 4, the truth is we will never really know for sure how close he came to a legitimate victory.

There’s a Moral in this Story

Here’s a Tribune story out of suburban Chicagoland that very nicely illustrates the difference between the Republicans (McCain) and the democrats (Obama) in this year’s presidential election. Of course, the story itself has nothing whatsoever to do with politics. It’s about baseball. But if you swap out “Cubs Couple” for McCain/Palin and “Sox Couple” for Obama/Biden, you’ll get the point.

Like the Cubs Couple, the the McCain campaign seems quite content to poke and prod and just hope for the best, while Obama and the Democrats, like the Sox Couple, go in for the kill. Sad, but true.

That, and the story’s just a classic chapter in the ongoing history of the Cubs vs. Sox rivalry. Do not ever tell me that Yankees vs. Red Sox is the best rivalry in baseball. It’s easily a distant but deserving third behind Cubs vs. White Sox and Cubs vs. Cardinals. 

Here’s the link. Enjoy!
