Am I missing anyone?

Positive Loitering

Indeed.

I Love Google Reader

Seems like "Uptown Updater" got so excited about a critique of Alderman Helen Shiller, he/she linked to a Free Republic article written by a racist, anti-gay lunatic by the name of Rosanna Pulido who previously ran for Congress. She was denounced by Tom Mannis of Chicago News Bench which is teabagger/Freeper heaven, so you can use that as a measure of how extreme and marginal she is. After some of the local would-be burghers protested linking to a reactionary source and a couple of the usual suspects defended it, the post vanished. I took a screencap and posted it to a thread on the Chicago Reader in response to the individual (James Cappleman?) stalking me over there under the name "Mother of FGFM." Shortly thereafter, a mea culpa appeared on Uptown Update.

"UU would like to issue a sincere apology to anyone who may have been offended by a recent post which has since been removed from the blogroll. We knew nothing about the group that was mentioned and regret linking to their publication."

Bullshit. For starters, the post was titled "Chicago City Council Mexican Hootenanny: AFTER ACTION REPORT." Without even reading the objectionable article, shouldn't that "Mexican Hootenanny" line be a tip-off?

Read the whole thing.

Freudian Slip?

From Twitter:



This assclown is just the gift that keeps on giving. He's freshly subscribed to Robert Spencer and doing the whole "Don't fuck with Israel" routine, so I'm sure that these new interests will open new portals of reaction for him.

Advice for Liberals

Uptown Update's favorite reactionary intellectual, yo, used some of the "downtime" from his 6 figure job to play concern troll with regard to the future of liberalism. Needless to say, it's right out of the Glenn Beck/Rand Paul playbook.



So, I'm supposed to believe that a guy like Daley who wants to privatize everything is a collectivist? If I were yo, I'd ask the University of Phoenix for my money back!
