If my name were "Radley Balko" the first thing I'd falsify on my resume would be "Radley Balko."

So you are saying that if you had that name, you would choose a life of crime and deceit?

Absolutely. Wouldn’t you?

Come to think of it—the very fact that he DOES use the name “Radley Balko” proves that he’s an honest man!

Let's see now, Rodney Balko ~ where "ko" is the diminutive form in Romany, so this is "Little Bal", whatever "Bal" might mean.

Tony Rezko's name translates as "little vinyard". "Bilk" is the root word for "bilk" which means the same in Romany as it does in English. "Bilzo", my nickname for William Jefferson Blythe Clinton is in honor of his 5 times Great Grandfather, "Billy Blythe", aka "King of the Gypsies" ~ ergo "Bill + ko" = "Little Bill" or "Billy". Then there's Blogojevich, or "son of" (from jevich", and "Blog" a past participle of "Vlassi" or "Vlach" ~ which is Romanian for "Gypsy". So, "son of a Gypsy" ~ and still people find it hard to believe they've been fooled.

I am convinced there are also Jewish Gypsies ~ else where would Rahm Emanuel come from? Guy's running around with them ~ even has the "Tame Negro" in the ranks.

The "Tame Negro" was some former slave freed by the Gypsies. They'd travel around through the South in rural areas and "sell the slave" to unwary, uneducated farmers. They'd come back at night and free their companion to continue their travels.

Did Bill Clinton ever get asked what he thought of these Chicago Gypsies?
