NU prez can't face his children
2009-10-10 18:40:00 Can't face his childrenThoughts I didn't finish reading:*I've lived in this country all of my life and the environmental degradation that my generation has witnessed and implicitly approved sometimes makes me embarrassed to face my three children." -- Morton Schapiro, Northwestern University president at his inauguration Friday. (Tribune story is here.)Perhaps Morton wasn't around when Chicago's skies were tinted yellowish orange in the winter from all the soft coal burned here everyone's furnace. Or the South Side and Gary steel mills were belching all kinds of toxic filth into the air. I'm embarrassed more by ideologues who fail to recognize the tremendous progress that this generation has made. I'm also more embarrassed by higher education's failure to give young people...

TCA Live Blog Day 2: CW Prez Dawn Ostroff Gets Grilled
2009-08-04 21:56:00 Like a dead man woman walking, CW President Dawn Ostroff tried her best to delay the inevitable. But alas, at the annual press tour, it’s surprisingly difficult to avoid the firing squad that is the Television Critics Association as they anxiously await their opportunity to unleash a flurry of questions, most of them revolving around the current status of Mischa Barton’s health. So after distracting the audience with shiny beautiful things (namely Elle Macphersen’s sparkly sequined jacket during THE BEAUTIFUL LIFE panel), the smoldering Robert Pattinson-esque looks of new VAMPIRE DIAIRES bad boy Paul Wesley and promo after promo after promo for the network’s slew of new shows that the CW swears — you’ll be like totally blogging, tweeting and im’ing about — it was time. Time for Ostroff to answer for her crimes against humanity (Read: EVERWOOD’s cancellation!) Okay not really (and yes, still bitter!). But here’s what she did have to...

Just how often does the CTA prez use public transit?
2009-07-23 13:00:00 Yesterday I wrote that I am fine with CTA President Richard Rodriguez choosing to spend time with his family over using the CTA for his daily commute.Rodriguez has five children under the age of 12. He works long hours. He has decided that he can spend some quality time with his oldest children in the morning while driving them to school. And Rodriguez said he still regularly takes the CTA.Now, I do think that the CTA president -- and others in top management -- should be using the CTA regularly. So I asked the CTA how often he does. Here's what I learned:Since he became president in March, Rodriguez has averaged more than 45 rides per month, said a CTA...
CTA Prez Rodriguez values family time over a CTA commute -- as he should
2009-07-22 13:00:00 The Sun-Times reported Monday that CTA President Richard Rodriguez was yanking the "company cars" that 68 employees could enjoy at home and at work. Rodriguez himself and 37 other top managers making six figures will lose the perk -- or pay about $200 a month plus gas to lease it from the city. Good for him....

The New Prez Has a Backbone

Prez Health Care Policy Analysis
2008-10-26 07:01:00 With 9 days left until the election, I'm actually starting to see articles that actually analyze the proposed policies of each of the presidential candidates. Imagine that? How about having an election based on differentiation of policy as opposed to personalities, or hype, or personal attacks, or anything else that you can think of.Anyway, in today's Wall Street Journal online, the following is an excerpt from an article entitled, "Obama vs McCain: It's All About Your Money." In this article, there is analysis of policy issues like economic relief, income taxes, social security. Something this blog is interested in is the issue of health care. Here is that section below:Sen. Obama proposes income-related subsidies for health insurance through a new national exchange, along with expanded access to Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program, and mandatory care for children. He would require employers that don't offer health coverage to contribute a percentage of ...

Hip Hop 4 Prez: Aren?t You Sick of Gas Prices!?!? Here?s Why They Are So Hi
2008-05-24 01:22:00 This post was originally a comment from a frequent commenter named Atheist. It was so good I thought I'd post it. It really highlights why gas prices are so high. Next time you give your credit card to the gas guy and sign away another $60 or so, consider that both political parties have sold you out. For decades, no President or Congress would confront that fact that corrupt third-world countries control most of the world's oil supply and those nations are definitely not looking out for us. In the 1970s, when poverty-stricken Brazil began a massive investment in sugar-based ethanol, the United States shrugged and did little research into alternative fuel.

2008-05-15 05:15:00 I've heard rumors that Barack Obama sort of gave John Edwards the shoulder after he dropped out.

At the end of the day I really think this image is a metaphor that highlights what's really wrong with The Hip-Hop Generation. While it could be said that we are fearless and ready to take on the world, the truth of the matter is that we are on the brink of self-destruction. Can't wait to read the story.

After watching it a couple of times I started thinking about former Indiana University basket ball coach Bobby Knight.

I mean I respect authority, but at some point his hot headed management would style would have turned me off. Too 20th century for me.

Hip Hop 4 Prez: WTF?! Racist Secret Service Agents Joke About Jesse Jackson
2008-05-11 16:00:00 In 2000 several African American Secret Service agents filed a discrimination suit against the government agency claiming that they were unfairly denied promotions because of their race. While the case has lingered on for years, investigators recently uncovered a series of emails from top agents that highlight that the "Men in Black" might not be all that nice to men (or women) who are black. Not only did top agents frequently email racially insensitive jokes, but there was even one message that was passed around that kidded around about Jesse Jackson's plane getting shot down by a missile.

2008-05-08 22:41:00 I said this in a post earlier today, but I really think the Clintons are trying to destroy the Democratic party. The New York Times is reporting that Hillary Clinton is making comments that are not only racially divisive, but are meant to undermine Obama's ability to reach out to white working class voters. Check out the quote: I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,? she said in the interview, citing an article by The Associated Press. It ?found how Senator Obama?s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.? ?There?s a pattern emerging here,? she said....These are the people you have to win if you?re a Democrat in sufficient numbers to actually win the election. Everybody knows that,
Hip Hop 4 Prez: Would You Vote for Barack Obama if Hillary was the Vice Pre
2008-05-08 19:04:00 For the last several weeks folks have been saying the Obama/Clinton ticket would be the Dream Ticket for the Democratic Party. But that was before all the craziness of Rev. Wright and "Bitter Gate." I am starting to wonder if it's even possible anymore. Especially because I think the Clintons are trying to burn Obama's image for a possible 2012 run. (The 2012 scenario would only work if McCain wins the election. I guess the thinking goes that if Obama didn't win now he would become the next John Kerry and Clinton would be the presumptive nominee the next time around.)

Hip Hop 4 Prez: Hillary Just Won?t Quit?Check Out Her New Plan to Stay in t
2008-05-07 21:58:00 HRC is like the little engine that could. She just won't quit. The New York Times is reporting that Hillary is going to focus her energies on getting her Michigan and Florida delegates seated at the convention. But even then political pundits say she can't win. With few states left, she and her aides said they would step up their efforts to count the disputed results in Florida and Michigan, where the states held contests in defiance of Democratic Party rules. If Mrs. Clinton can win the battle to have the delegations from those two states seated at the conventions on the basis of the vote there, she could greatly reduce Mr. Obama's lead in pledged delegates. But neither candidate actively campaigned in Florida or Michigan, and Mr. Obama did not appear on the Michigan ballot. Still, in a sign of where the Clinton campaign is going, her aides are asserting that the winner will need 2,209 delegates, not 2,025. That higher number reflects the full inclusion of Florida and...

Nintendo Prez Iwata Scoffs At Wii Copycats
2008-05-05 01:26:00 Nintendo president Satoru Iwata knows all about those Xbox 360 motion sensing controller rumors, and he could care less. This image is pure comedy to Nintendo If Nintendo president Satoru Iwata is at all worried about the Xbox 360 motion sensing controller rumors, he wasn't showing it this week.In fact, if we at Sports Legends didn't know any better, in his latest interview on the subject he almost appeared to laugh off the rumors before moving on to talk Nintendo strategy.The comments came during an investors meeting on Thursday, and was transcribed by Develop Magazine."All I can say today is, it is not that easy to develop software which leverages the characteristics of the Wii Remote. We are not concerned about what other companies may do but rather more concerned with presenting them with new ideas to our customers based on the prospect that our existing customers will surely get tired of the plays enabled by Wii Remote if we do not try to improve the experience," Iwata said....

But I will say this, the world has always been afraid of folks how have spoken with a prophetic voice. That doesn't matter if it's been Joseph (of the Old Testament ) Jesus, John The Baptist, or Jeremiah Wright. A prophet is never accepted in his or her own land.

Hip Hop 4 Prez: Baptist Minister to John McCain??Did You Call Your Wife a C
2008-05-03 03:21:00 This dude gets asked the craziest questions. Apparently a baptist minister asked John McCain whether he called his first wife a c#nt? This isn't the first time that McCain has been asked wild questions like this. Right before the Iowa Caucuses a white haired woman asked McCain "What are you going to do about the bitch," meaning Hillary Clinton. I am not sure whether this baptist minister was a plant or not. But I have heard talk from some Democratic pundits who are thinking about potentially trying to make a big deal out of the fact that McCain's first marriage ended badly. I don't know how that's strategic, but I do think McCain does have some skeletons in his closet that Dems will try to expose. Sorry that I couldn't come up with a more uplifting or righteous blog today. I am traveling. Shouts out to folks in Southern California.
