Caroline Kennedy - Aided by the Corrupt Daley Machine

As the nation's political conversation turns to the idea of Caroline Kennedy as the appointed US Senator from New York it is important to remember how she got to this point. It is very simple, she was born into consideration. The only reason that Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg is being considered for anything beyond art critic or legal associate is that her father was once President. It should be remembered that the only reason her father, John F Kennedy became President is that he was aided and abetted by vote fraud that was famously run by the Chicago Daley Machine. The Daley Machine is also the reason that Rod Blagojevich is currently the Governor of Illinois.

Beyond the fact that her entire life has been defined by the results of a dirty vote fraud in Chicago what does this woman think that she will bring to the table to help the State of New York? The Kennedy family has shown a lifetime of entitlement for generations and this is just more of the same for that family. I have to wonder, is Michael Skakel busy? It is almost riotous that members of the Democratic Party want the New York Senate seat to be occupied by a completely inexperienced woman with historic ties to the Chicago Daley Machine and its vote fraud activities.

On the other hand, like Steve Goodman's You Never Even Call by My Name she may be the perfect Democrtaic candidate for New York state, she is after all: the daughter of man who gained the pinacle of US politics with the help of the corrupt Chicago Democratic Machine, her uncle, a US Senator killed a woman while DUI, one cousin murdered a neighbor while high, another cousin ran into a DC barricade while DUI, another cousin was killed when he ran into a tree while SUI (skiing uinder the influence), she worked at an art museum, she has worked at the family library, she attended Radcliffe, she is a lawyer. If this is the best that New York can do then it is little more than a backwater, possum stew and all.

Hyde Park Group Demands New State

Chicago, May 10 - A diverse group of Chicagoans from the Hyde Park neighborhood have formed a committee to secede from Illinois, called "Obamanois Not Illinois" the group has been meeting secretly at Morry's Deli at 55th and Cornell since last fall. The group's spokesperson, wearing a stylish black bandanna over her face and a Von Dutch hat pulled down over her forehead requested anonymity and stated that until this week the group merely wanted to secede from Chicago. However when the group was apprised of Sen. Obama's recent declaration that United States has 57 or more states the group immediately revamped their mission towards statehood. "He'll need more states" the spokesperson said, relating that the group held a secret emergency brainstorming session at Morry's yesterday after hearing of the change, "we changed our name and everything. After we voted down Durbinois we thought that an Obama tie-in was perfect cause he's the next President and everything." When asked if statehood was was too much of a reach the spokeperson shot back, "Minister Farrakhan has his own Nation up on Woodlawn." The group was known as "Hyde Park - Think Village!" until the loose-knit coalition of Anarchists, Marxists, artists, musicians, community activists and local marijuana dealers met in what the spokesperson described as a "wildly excited state" to plan for "a possible violent confrontation with the Man."

When questioned about "the Man" the spokesperson stated that "Mayor Daley is the Man and the enemy, we want to take Hyde Park and make it our state!" A spokesperson for Mayor Daley declined comment as did the Obama campaign, which threatened to have me arrested if I called back.

As far as I know, the above is satire.
