This is not Lake Wobegone, this is Chicago

Severed human leg washes ashore. The condtion of the leg is guarded and the relatives have yet to be informed. The leg will join other body parts being held until enough parts can be assembled into a complete victim.

speaking of Chicago

Very interesting...Makes ya wanna move back?

A wonderful state with zero Republicans
The State of Illinois

Some interesting data on the 'state' of Illinois...

There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working.

Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the
U.S. averaging $110,000/year.

Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. Wow, are Illinois and
Chicago great or what?

Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better.

Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ?

Body count: In the last six months, 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago.

221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in
the entire US.

Here's the Chicago chain of command:

President: Barack Hussein Obama

· Senator: Dick Durbin

· House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr.

· Governor: Pat Quinn

· House leader: Mike Madigan

· Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)

· Mayor: Rohm Emanuel

· The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.

· Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago.

· Of course, they're all blaming each other.

· Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

· Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country.

Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!

· State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.

Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!


· Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
·
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?

· George Ryan is no longer Governor, he is in the prison.

· He was replaced by Rob Blajegovitch who is that's right, also in the prison.

· And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned a couple of weeks ago, because he is fighting to not be sent to...that's right, prison.

.The Land of Lincoln, where our governors make our license plates.

But you know what?

As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go broke before the country does.

"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."
