Ken Previti Rages Against the Tribune Writer Who Hopes for the Destruction of Chicago

Ken Previti, like Mike Klonsky and many other Chicagoans, is outraged by Kristin McQueary, the editorial writer at the Chicago Tribune who expressed her longing for a vicious hurricane like Katrina to level the city of Chicago so there could be a “do-over.”

Ken thinks McCleary should be fired. He would no doubt be happy to see the Chicago Tribune go out of business.

Just the other day, Chicago Tribune Editorial Board Member Kristin McQueary wrote. “I find myself wishing for a storm in Chicago — an unpredictable, haughty, devastating swirl of fury. A dramatic levee break. Geysers bursting through manhole covers. A sleeping city, forced onto the rooftops. That’s what it took to hit the reset button in New Orleans. Chaos. Tragedy. Heartbreak.”

Pleas for destruction while claiming salvation.

The bodies of 1,833 innocent dead human beings in New Orleans – black and white, young and old – floated in polluted salt water during intense heat as carrion birds hovered overhead. This is Kristin’s idea for her city, Chicago. What a profitable opportunity! Think of all the education taxes that could privately profit the rich boys – if only the “in” people could eliminate the little people and public schools and anything not profitable for the rich boys who pay Kristin. This was savage talk that was meant to make her bosses like her.

Now, let’s see. What to do?

Demand that Tribune Editor Kristin McQueary be fired. Why? She used her position as an editor of a major news service to voice her desire to see your parents and children die in the streets and be pecked over by carrion birds. No matter how her fellow editors try to spin it, this is savagery.

There is indeed something indescribably sick about people who wish for death and destruction to land on the heads of others (not themselves).

Should McQueary be fired? That’s not up to me. I would, however, like to see her have some serious therapy or sensitivity training or empathy training, including perhaps viewing the bloated bodies of men, women, and children in New Orleans after Katrina.

Proof: Scott Walker’s aide Archer lied. Maltreatment she claimed rec’d during #JohnDoe raid refuted by newly released recording

Recorded audio from the FBI-assisted raid of Cynthia Archer’s home has been released. “The audio of the raid is being released now in an attempt to rebut claims Archer makes in her suit.

Milwaukee Bucks arena is product of bizarre and bipartisan bedfellows

It takes an incestuous bipartisan pile of snakes to foist this expense upon Wisconsin when only 9%* of the Wisconsin public wants to help fund it AND when the administration is slashing public education funding. Steve Horn and Michael Arria have a long and interesting piece out on Truthdig that exposes backroom bipartisanship and public more »

We had a great time figuring out what this month’s shirt was going to be and were really surprised one of these two designs wasn’t the clear winner.

Whether it is the airport, a coffee shop, at a meeting or when staying at a friends, the only question we have is “What’s the wifi password?”

But today the only question we have for you is “Cows or No Cows?”
