Mondays have been very difficult of late. Tuesdays through Friday not exactly great either. It doesn't help that there are many humorous type headlines we can twist into a laugh, or two, today. We believe the word in German is "schadenfreude," which means gaining some pleasure from the misfortune of others. Bad karma-perhaps. However, public corruption in the form of extortion, influence peddling and bribery are very uncool. Mr. "B" has entered the court house to hear the jury verdicts. Yeah...glad we aren't him today. We will update the verdicts when read. GUILTY ON ABOUT 18 OR SO COUNTS...THAT IS FEDERAL SENTENCING-THIS COULD BE ABOUT 10 YEARS-HE MAY BE REMANDED TO PRISON IMMEDIATELY IF BAIL IS NOT GRANTED PRIOR TO SENTENCING. OUCH. WE ADD UB40S "GUILTY" BELOW. DAMN SHAME HE HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH DARKNESS TO NORMALLY HONEST CHICAGO POLITICS.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VypDV6SPeM {"Guilty"}
