Spike,

An excellent retail opportunity in a little slice of heaven. So goes the promo. Don't look too close.

The lastest figures posted to support the claim are 2007. It's 1927 again. The future is bright and nuthin' but blue skies are comin' your way. Tell your dear old ma to invest her retirement nest egg.

“There is no cause to worry. The high tide of prosperity will continue”

Anybody with half a business brain knows better. Those so lacking work for the City of Burlington.

Every taxpayer in Burlington is paying the margin call on this vacant lot, get rich quick, retail real estate scheme.

3-year old tourism demographics excites me.

But the 2000 Retail Sales Per Household page 5 almost seems to surpass it as the best stale numbers.

The Winner? Page 8 in a presentation as dead as this town.

"Well, the smell of gunpowder is filling the Illinois courtroom where Blago’s trial is still going on:

Top [SEIU] union leader Thomas Balanoff said he was at dinner the night before the November Presidential election when he got a call that was blocked.

So he didn’t take it.

Later he listened to his messages: “I walked outside, listened to it and it was from President Obama,” Balanoff said.

“Tom, this is Barack, give me a call,” the soon-to-be President-Elect said on the message.

After Balanoff sent word through an Obama aide to call him back, Obama returned his call later that night.

“Tom, I want to talk to you with regard to the Senate seat,” Obama told him.

Balanoff said Obama said he had two criteria: someone who was good for the citizens of Illinois and could be elected in 2010.

Obama said he wasn’t publicly coming out in support of anyone but he believed Valerie Jarrett would fit the bill.

“I would much prefer she (remain in the White House) but she does want to be Senator and she does meet those two criteria,” Balanoff said Obama told him. “I said: ‘thank you, I’m going to reach out to Gov. Blagojevich.”

Balanoff then described a Nov. 6, 2008 meeting he had with Rod Blagojevich to recommend Valerie Jarrett for Barack Obama’s Senate seat."


If they think this is smell of gunpowder, wait until Tony Rezko starts spillin' his guts on Obama and Rahm.

If you can stand to listen to the dumbest Parisian Prostitute ever to walk the face of Earth, she will tell you that "unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs."

Spike:

Your viewers should take a look at this from the Washington Times.

This administration has no shame when it comes to destroying morals. Nobama is one of a group of losers bent on ruining the family, religion, freedom of speech and a slew of other American freedoms.

Since he’s been in office another approximately 100,000 babies have been intentionally murdered for the purpose of birth control. I wonder if he has Nazi ties from his past because he appears to think and acts like them by forcing his warped agenda on the American public. No one should be forced to accept the warped sex habits of someone else as being normal. The left is trying to warp the minds of our children into thinking gay sex is normal and acceptable and to think we pay taxes to teach our children trash such as gay marriage and other devious acts of behavior as normal. We’re being forced to accept Nobama because a bunch of fools elected him and now we’re all stuck with him until 2012.

Just how stupid can Americans be for electing such a completely inept person as president, a person with little to know knowledge of the American people, what a joke, plus four years of bills that aren’t anywhere near what the American people had in mind? It will take years to clean up the damage the Nobama Regime will have caused on top of destroying the American dream for future generations.

Thanks to the left agenda of Nobama we’re all getting screwed and you better believe it.

Ralph Reed, the Crookedest Carpetbagger from Georgia touting Christianity as the righteous cure for all that ails Iowans' pocketbooks was on Glenn Beck Thursday night.

Brylcreem slick-backed hair, wide strip gray zoot suit, out of his lair, looking for a bunch of Iowans to rob with his good buddy Satan Steve Scheffler.

Don't hold it against Glenn.

But watch out. Keep your children and pets indoors. This little dab will do ya.
