Want something constructive to do? Find out how to reach the Olumpics committee - or those influential within their current short-list selection. Then send them some links to the HUGE OUTBREAK of violence in Chicago this spring - and send them the links to Black Panther group and other radicals based there. Throw in whatever best post about Rezko. Then ask them if they really want to take a chance on an Olympic location that is a volatile security risk for visiting attendees - where hate groups and sniper violence required the city police to be recently armed, instead of hand guns - with MACHINE GUNS.

Let’s get Chicago the bad press it deserves to defeat its bid for the Olympics. Otherwise its one more piece of chicanery that obama will steal the credit for - to buy back the voters of IL. The State Leg there has kept dragging their feet on the voter recall bill to dump the Gov - and this is very likely what they’ve been holding out for!

Anyone know when the site selection is finalized?

See how he’s setting this up? If he loses, he can blame “racist” america. This kind of rally is going to frighten people enough to not want him near the whitehouse!

I was near to giving up on NQ comment thread and this really saddened me and left me feeling alone. But I just couldn’t keep coming and getting my energy depleted watching the trolls pull down and debase the valuable, informative and thought stimulating thread. Now I feel relief and positive anticipation that we can share our collective focus in more solution-oriented discussion.

Also want to say thanks for Craig’s article, and others recently, that you are providing at NQ - which bring us clearer and closer to the actual underlying issues behind the collective nightmare we see happening. Without picking off trolls, like bloodsuckers, off our skin, this site can be what it really is - informative, inspiring and uplifting.

Erp. A wha’? A ‘pamphlet?’ You mean like the one the religious fundies keep leaving on my door step?

Zoikes. What a shaggin’ nightmare we’ve got on our hands.

A rose by any other name. It’s all the same.

Anymore, I don’t know why I care.

I waiting for my sales taxes to jump a few more percentage points.

If Chicago wins the bid, you’ll see a shining olympic city on what has been, for the last century, the peoples lakefront. Slated now only for those who can afford tix to the events, and then no doubt, to be turned into private retail and residences. For the well-to-do. And this shining city will be surrounded by neighborhoods that have gone begging for almost a decade.

Actually, it’s kind of like that now.

Blech.

I keep thinking of those 1930’s tent revivals - with the charlatans ‘healing’ people. And Father Coughlin and his “National Union for Social Justice” party.

Yeeeikes. It’s like that HBO series - Carnivale. All over again. Freaky-deaky.

Do we need to maybe create a vaccine?
