Epidemic of Suicides
- When politicos play musical chairs in Illinois, what happens after the music stops and there's no safe place to sit?
There have been four dead in recent years, unrelated cases of suicide, different except for the acts of the common pageant: The corruption investigators call. The music ends abruptly.
Two were done in by guns, one on a beach, the other under a bridge. A third was by pills in a construction trailer.
The fourth came Friday morning during rush hour, announced by that body under that white sheet on the Metra tracks in McHenry County.
Kass calls them "buffers."
We call them "fall guys."
And the media and prosecutors always seem unable to look beyond the fall guy to see who's actually pulling the corrupt strings. Someone always answers to someone else in power, especially in this city, county and state.

Yes. That will be the day the majority of voters in Chicago and the majority of police officers here again sit on their hands and do not bother to go to vote.
I have a Buffer in my M-4.
OT....nice chase from 025 out to willow springs and then a left turn straight to Indiana! You guys kept it under control. And Harvey, you rock! I am shocked that any of our cars could take that long of a pursuit. Nobody hurt, it's all good.
I think the Feds are squeezing people in the know about the road to Shortshanks, Madigan, and others, and many of those squeezed are clearly more comfortable rushing to the afterlife rather than to face the music when it comes to giving up the true RATS.
Do WE really want to know who is pulling the strings?
Are you certain these were all suicides?
As much as we would like to think that a thorough, comprehensive, and unbiased investigation was conducted of each death; I suspect the hands of Chicago politics skewed the findings.
It will not be the last.
VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE All incumbents OUT.
Of course, the characters in real estate and high finance are not "fall guys," but perpetrators. Remember how Steven Good, son of the largest commercial real estate broker in town, drove his Jaguar out into the Forest Preserves and shot himself last January? Well, a few months later...

By Mary Ellen Podmolik, TRIBUNE REPORTER
Commercial real estate brokerage and auctioneer Sheldon Good & Co. announced Friday that its nine operating entities had sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and blamed the move on "improper actions" taken by its former chairman, Steven Good.
After Steven Good's Jan. 5 suicide, "debtors discovered that Mr. Good, without authority, had withdrawn substantial monies from the debtors' operating accounts, calling it compensation, which left the debtor without reserves in the most difficult economic climate we have experienced in 20 years."

Another Bernard Madoff.
Take a walk around Belmont and Central, or along Milwaukee Avenue. "For Rent," "For Rent," "For Rent" in storefront after empty storefront.
I just counted 120 -- ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY -- foreclosure notices printed in the little Nadig neighborhood paper, where there used to be three or four.
Am seeing more and more foreclosure board-ups, also insurance fires as well as failing condominium projects with the signs collapsing into the weeds. Increasing number of tear-downs just to avoid paying taxes on hopeless properties.
Banking, real estate, and stock trading can, in this writer's opinion, be considered to be "ongoing criminal enterprises." I think you really are safer skipping the "free" bank premium -- the "George Foreman Lean Mean Grillin' Machine" they all seem to be giving away -- and keeping your money in your mattress, despite what the FDIC says in those big "everything's fine" posters they're putting on bus stop shelters.
My prediction? Watch for Zitella to go under next. No one in town seems to have more unsold condominiums and non-starter projects on vacant lots then they do. The only thing I don't understand is how they've lasted so long.
TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
--The Second Coming, William Butler Yeats
We called this a long time ago. A lot of " Suicides" lately WINK WINK . They will all disappear soon, OBAMA and Daley will go untouched!
Everybody that is a made member, associate or affiliate of Daley Inc. is expected to to eat a pistol for King Shorty when the G-man comes a knockin' and askin' awkward questions...
Well... everyone except certain members of course. Though we were very surprised when Sorich got scooped up. We thought for sure he was going to have a sore throat and "self medicate" with a .380 caliber lozenge.
42 extra-short is a piece of shit as a man. He demands utter loyalty and gives none.
Does anyone else recall Election Night 1989 when he had his family at the podium with him for the happy-joy photo-op? He tried to put his arm around Paddy Boy and Paddy Boy recoiled like he was being presented with a bowl of shit flambe'?
Our Police eye spied something seriously wrong with that. Not that we were surprised. We are talking about Daley Inc. after all.
Count on more loyal underlings to kill themselves...
Eventually someone may leave several strategically placed manila accordion files labeled "please read and forward appropriately in the even of my untimely demise whether by my own hand or by the hands of others".
We're sure Daley runs and cries in his sleep at this thought. Hopefully his nightmare comes true and ours is soon at an end.
How about the fat raises for some o Stroger's aides. A CFO going from $170K to $230K in one year? And her answer is she "is worth it"????
That is a crime. No one with a REAL job is getting over 30% raises in ANY job.
Whatever business I have - I will go out of my way to NOT conduct it in Cook County.
No restaurants. No entertainment. No meetings. No wacky parking lot fees like $48 for four hours at the Chicago Hyatt. All to pay a bloated city and county government run amok.
Every county and city employee can take a 20% cut as far as I'm concerned.
Sound too draconian? Try being some of the taxpayers who have taken a LOT more cuts than that in lost jobs and accepted lower-paying
jobs because that's all that left in this area.
Illinois has now joined NY, NJ and California as "problem states". You cannot keep promising super pensions with no money coming in.
If this keeps up there won't be anyone to vote out of office.
Did anyone notice the 4 politos who offed themselves, apparently embarassed and remorseful the fathead shithead broad who said of Stroger's multi-thousand pay raise he gave her,
"I DESERVES THAT PAY RAISE".
What else would you expect?
MB financial.
I thought old man Daley got in office the first time on a sudden death. Nothing changes.
To the individual who is hoping the FEDS intervene. They are not legit either. Why did they intervene on the Blago wire and arrest a sitting governor on PC and pull the wire down? Only a few people know but it ain't legit.

Not sudden but cancer and other illness, two deaths actually. Richard J Daley was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives after the death of Republican David Shanahan.
Soon after the Illinois State Senator (Democrat) from the 9th District (Bridgeport) Patrick J Carroll was running for re-election but died of cancer. The ballots had already been printed but they slated Daley who instantly became a democrat. He won that election and moved from the Illinois House to the Illinois Senate, as a democrat.
On December 20, 1976, Daley suffered a massive heart attack while visiting his doctor's office and died at the age of 74. No word on what happened to the doctor.
Do you really think that a Detective, Sgt, Lt or Commander in the DD is going to make a murder a suicide because of political pressure. If you think so, you have never investigated a homicide and put your name on it. No one in the DD is going to stick their neck out for politicians.
