My wife is of Ulster-Scot descent, including on one side a slight Dutch-Cherokee mix, and is a Stephens College business grad inter alia whose heroes remain Queen Elizabeth II and Jean Kirkpatrick; she spent much of yesterday telling me it's not my style to be politically or lawfully inert just because in past some have tried to kill, maim, or use Courts against me on account of truth or views, that I would not be happy with myself ever again if I shut up especially (SHE told ME) "in Illinois where NOBODY ever does anything to ANYBODY, you just imagine it or work in cahoots with strangers", and that I would not be the man she married and is happy with were I to not at least stay with Conservatives through this year's elections...in that spirit, and while we still plan to go elsewhere by this Fall, I will stay involved through the election.
 
I see at my email today Obama is going to have three thousand "we worship YOU for change" gatherings this Saturday; he claimed to have as many last Summer, but outside Chicago most seemed to have no more than the neighborhood organizer attend; maybe huge crowds all at once across America will be flashed by all media, together with "change" specifics.
 
Two other things seem more interesting as Obama reaches out with nebulous "change" palavers...Mayor Daley, after at least ten years, has finally noticed Chicago porches fall apart on first use, most folks today with crummy porches are new immigrants, and is going to nail those "right-wingers" who built and own them; and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) is going to start suing Countrywide inter alia mostly for immigrants and slightly for nationals re giving them homeloans and expecting them to pay without having work ( which Obama will tell you itself is due to all this xenophobic and nationalistic racism because too MANY jobs exist; q.v., must go green for global warming, as long as it doesn't involve work or land to produce own fuels or alternatives against U.N. LOST wishes).
 
You know, in re consumer credit protection here, one institutionalized thing with Chicago and Illinois Democrats is the practice of doing away with centuries-old doctrines hich make employers and those serve by contractors liable for acts and omissions of their agents; e.g., I have a Court order which requires Mid America to give good references on any inquiry ever-after, but Mid America filed for sheriff door knock-down after first seeing we had all possessions and ourselves moved into Oregon; you catch them on that or anyting else re CRAs, all they have to do is say "they didn't intend their agents, lawyers, or contracted services to do that", ditto can anyone say including your employers, and just like ab initio, Courts and Madigans feel it would be unfair to then have a proper party sign a reference or relevant verification and present it to you through them as part of any record. Correlatively, although a shopbook entry in usual course, unsigned CRA printouts are deemed "hearsay" if a CRA tells the State or a Court "not MINE!"...and anyone saying it is or that's what they got? Oh, more evidence of a vast, right-wing conspiracy trying to gain political advantage, ignore them.
 
As to Illinois Democrats and Attorney General consumer credit protection over actual matter, like Daley on the sub-State level with his porches or anything else, Madigan excels at winning suits, which always have deadlines for victims to contact her for settlement shares, but too often, wouldn't you know, so many people just never get in touch with her office in a timely or well-documented fashion; comes to mind the victory Madigan won a few years ago re Household: like the one my wife got, tons of folks around late 2000 et seq got bulk-mailed live checks in amounts of thousands of dollars, which enticed them to cash it and use money for anything at all, or tear up and throw out if they didn't want it; yep, wouldn't you know, my wife and I then living in Nashville TN, no matter what proofs of content and mailings and relevant contact attempts we had, doggone it!! We were just to stupid, lazy, or both to get a "timely" claim in, just like all the other sluggards obviously working with Bush and McCain in a vast right-wing conspiracy to make good folks look bad.
 
So anybody gets a settlement entitlement via Madigan, maybe videotape what you do to timely comply and put it on Youtube or whatever as backup; wouldn't want to have your USPS proofs called part of a vast conspiracy, would you?
 
As to porches and Obama as the Lord Of Job Creation: Um, 287g also works here such that you round up as many immigrants as you set up in homes, in election years "round up and get out of town" all those "illegals" a vast conspiracy let in, put up cinder block and facade quickie little warehouses and store fronts which then remain eternally "for sale" as proof of attracting commerce and jobs, move all the "287 g roundups" to a town or State a little farther away from town than most folks go, build so many exurbanite New Urban communities with crummy porches and all, the mind reels how commerce (or structural perfection) can possibly compete with new super-fast build ups of such communities. Ususally, in "off" years, new immigrants go to the old town as nationals lose homes, process of packing 287 g's elsewhere repeats, easy election, easy big paychecks for officials...nobody gets work, equity becomes more political will than money or dignity.
 
Something to think about as Democrats eye HR 1955 to quash nationals AND immigrants to make mainstream lives for those demanding jihad against the USA or anyone else ala Atta and 9/11, instead of constraining them abroad as Bush does.
