“... where a vehicle pulled up to 24-year-old Allante Elmore on a porch near his home in the 4800 block of West Hubbard, and shot him repeatedly.”

The vehicle shot him repeatedly? Wow. Even the cars are mean on Chicago’s mean streets.

10 killed in Chicago on MLK Day. Hmmm, I wonder if this is above or below the Chicago Daily Killing Average (CDKA). Probably a bit above. But I’m just guessing.

What a town: Chicago, Chicago that toddling town ...

Give them a holiday so they don’t have to go to work- oops welfare office- and they shoot each other up?
Who had that bright idea?

Eight years of B.O. and this is where they are at. I wonder if the legendary civil rights icon, John Lewis had any input.

I’ve been tracking the weekend box scores and this is just about average.

From Dear Liberals: Here Is Some Magnanimous Advice

"We have spent 50 years enacting just about every liberal idea on the race question, including electing America’s First Black President, and yet said president just said that

After my election there was talk of a post-racial America. And such a vision, however well-intended, was never realistic.

But that means, Mr. President, that the whole liberal program on race must be considered a failure. If you can’t solve the race problem with 50 years of nonstop race politics culminating in a black president, what’s the point?"

I have an idea. Let’s throw out the entire liberal program and try something else. For a change.
