CHANGE! Chicago / Obama Style
So today I received an email which read:
CHANGE, Chicago Style:
Body count.In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago; 221 killed in Iraq.The Leadership in Illinois:
Senators Barack Obama (D) & Dick Durbin (D)
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D)
Gov. Rod Blogojevich (D)
House leader Mike Madigan (D)
Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan [daughter of Mike] (D)
Mayor Richard M. Daley [son of former Mayor Richard J. Daley] (D)…. all Democrats.Chicago is a combat zone. Of course, they’re all blaming each other.
Can’t blame Republicans… THERE AREN’T ANY!
State pension fund is $44 Billion in debt — worst in the country.
Cook County (Chicago ) sales tax is 10.25% — highest in the country.
Chicago school system is one of the worst in country.
This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.And Obama plans to “fix” Washington politics?
HE CAN’T EVEN FIX WHAT’S WRONG IN HIS OWN BACKYARD!
REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU VOTE. PASS THIS ON TO ANY FRIENDS WHO MIGHT BE ON-THE-FENCE REGARDING WHOM TO VOTE FOR.
So I read this and I thought, WOW This CAN’T ALL BE TRUE…..so I decided to check. SURE ENOUGH, there are AP Articles, Public Records and other Documentation showing each of these to be true.
Here is one I found particularly interesting:
State pension fund is $44 Billion in debt — worst in the country.
AP Article Stating the Facts:

Now Mind you back in 2006 it was just as badly in debt, so lets be honest, he was in office and made NO CHANGE! - but wait isn’t his whole line “CHANGE”?

Mustang Update Aug. 5 2008
The Mustang is still at Gary Best Kustumz in Waldorf Md having itself touched up. Right now Gary is in the process of repainting the entire front clip of the car to remove all of the road rash and debris marks from my driving it on a regular basis lately. He will also be removing and reinstalling the rear trim along the rear windshield since the summer sun last year caused the adhesive to begin to let go around a few of the edges.
The only remaining piece to be done is the sides. Unfortunately do to having been run off the road (as mentioned in a previous update) the car suffered damage once again to the side skirts and the pipes beneath them. This continued damage has forced me to replace the parts this time since there has already been a large amount of patch work on the parts already there. We are currently waiting on the parts to arive from Cervini’s Auto Design in order to complete the work.
From Gary’s shop in Waldorf the car will travel to Lorton Va. to have the transmission worked on by Springfield Motorsports & Level 10. SMS will remove the transmission and place it on a palate to send to Level 10 where they are going to custom build the transmission to the specs of my car. As part of the build we will be replacing the torque converter, gears, solenoids and trans fluid pumps within the unit. This will allow for better gear ratios specific to the turbo charged motor, cooler running transmission since the fluid will pump through more freely and spend less time in the transmission, and sharper crisper shifts do in part to the larger solenoid and the shift kit.

A Very Disturbing Article
I came across an article today in my RSS feed that has me a bit disturbed and questioning the legalities involved.
The article was posted on the Washington Post’s website describing and questioning the
ability of US Federal Agents to take possession of a travelers (regardless of citizenship) laptop or other electronic devices and search them without cause.
The policies state that officers may “detain” laptops “for a reasonable period of time” to “review and analyze information.” This may take place “absent individualized suspicion.”
This was quite alarming to me, considering how many international corporations travel through the US I do not think they would be to happy with Federal agents going through their corporate files and company secrets. It seems to me this goes against all rights of protecting us from Unlawful Search and Seizure.
