Mayor Emanuel?
White House chief of staff says he’d like the post if Daley doesn’t run for re-election

"I hope Mayor [Richard] Daley seeks re-election. I will work and support him if he seeks re-election," Emanuel told Charlie Rose on the host's PBS talk show, in an interview broadcast Monday night. "But if Mayor Daley doesn't, one day I would like to run for mayor of the city of Chicago. That's always been an aspiration of mine, even when I was in the House of Representatives."

Whatsamattah, Rahm? Not happy ruining the nation with Barry?

Tonight's marvelous dinner-in-a-bowl!

Yesterday, I plopped two nice-sized chicken breasts into a pot of filtered water, adding six garlic gloves, a small chopped onion, and a good dash of crushed red pepper. I let that begin to boil, then turn down the gas to let it simmer. When the chicken is tender, it's done, and the end result is a wonderfully flavored broth.

Tonight, I removed the chicken breast (only one left!), and placed 1/4 bag of 'saifun' into the cold broth. (Saifun are mung bean noodles, relatively inexpensive and better than ramen noodles). I also added a cup and a half of frozen broccoli, four sliced Crimini mushrooms and one small chopped fire-roasted red pepper.

Note: The saifun must sit in cold water or broth for about ten minutes before cooking, in order to soften.

Next, I brought it all to a boil, then let it simmer for about 10 minutes after adding the chicken breast.

No added salt (I'm sure there's enough on the frozen chicken breasts); relatively low in calories; some healthy green veggies, and WOW, it photographed well, too!

What a great tasty dinner I had!

Greeting the new White House Fashion Czar!

After meeting with his newest 'czar' early Sunday morning, then discovering he had free time because he finally admitted he 'could not fly'...

...O-bogus hit the links!

The Kaczynski Funeral

The late President's twin brother, Jaroslaw, and the Kaczynski's daughter, Marta, and her husband.

The caskets in St. Mary's Basilica on Krakow, Poland.

Tens of thousands were outside the basilica and lining the way of the funeral cortege to Wawel Hill, the place of burial.

*********

This was a poignantly sad, but beautifully traditional Catholic funeral. It was long, yet worth every minute of watching the people of Poland express their love for the Kaczynskis. May they continue to be strong!

(The Obamas did not attend due to the ashiness over Europe from Iceland's unpronounceable volcano.

They would have been bored, anyway.)

This lovely beauty...

...escaped the confines of the Emil Bach House tulips (see previous post) and now resides on the neighboring property.

You get a chance to 'look inside', if you've never done that.

There is certainly more Truth in a single tulip than in all politicians, isn't there?

Frank Lloyd Wright would be pleased!

The Emil Bach House, designed and built by Wright in 1915, has been slowly and lovingly being restored by its new owners. It is located at 7415 N. Sheridan Road, in Rogers Park.

View from the alleyway

One can actually see the grounds now that excess vineage is being cleared and new sod has been laid.

Bill Morton: Is he working for your best interests?

This is an example of Bill Morton's 'work', followed by several other videos on the same topic, at his blogsite, www.rp1000.blogspot.com.

Apparently, this subject matter is VERY important to Bill Morton.

Not really...because it becomes the means of his escape from reality.

He owes me $1,425...for helping him remain in his apartment (#803) at 1205 W. Sherwin Avenue, here in Rogers Park. Though he knows my e-mail address, he has never contacted me in the past six months, since I have asked for payback.

Consequently, I shall continue to appeal for payback PUBLICLY, and let everyone who reads this blog understand what a SWINE Bill Morton is.

Oh...

...wouldn't it be nice...if we could live like this...

...instead of killing each other with our thoughts, actions, and deeds?

I sent a comment to RP1000...

...and, apparently, I am blocked. This was my comment:

"Yes, of course, I know you, and I know that the bulk of the original photos at the Willye B. White sight are those 'I gave you', as I also 'gave ' you the Willye B. White Park Advisory Council LOGO, which you have never updated, though I have sent you updates. Because you are such a slovenly person, others suffer...isn't it TRUE, Bill?

And, what have you done, say, in the last 5 or so months since I resigned from Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce?

There is no semblance of UNITY in the community, just a photo of a coffee mug.

SAD, so SAD!"

My readers are increasing, Bill Morton, and your name is put out across the world. Your 'chess piece', 'Mister SEIU 880', cannot do anything for you now.
