The Employees of the University of Illinois in Chicago have had very serious problems with convicts and members of Mayor Daley’s 11th Ward interfering with good old fashion honest government. I wish to thank Frank Avila, a famous lawyer for bringing Chicago Union Issues to light. Thank you to Roger Sendra, Dennis Kalke, and Frank Avila. Watch this and learn about poor government.

I had a very nice weekend that started in Minnesota. My Daughter is attending Saint Mary’s University in Winona, Minnesota. To get in this Prime Catholic University, you must make correct decision after correct decision in High School. I am happy my daughter has been accepted. Clout played no part in this acceptance, you must perform well in school and get high ACTs and SAT’s. Reality has not set in my daughter will be leaving, and I am glad I spent lots of time with her. We went into the Town of Winona and saw many sights, also the Mississippi River. I really enjoyed the paddle-boat, the only one in the North section of the Mississippi. After that day at school we went to Wisconsin to discover another section of the Fox River Waterway. I have always regretted going to Fox River, but the exception is Lake Tichigan. This is a reasonably clean lake, but not up to my standards. I always try to boat on two new lakes every year. After we got off the water we went into Waterford and enjoyed the fair and than had a blast at the “Bunker” a bar at Route 20 and 36. If you are a Illinois Harley Biker, stop by this bar. Enjoy this photo of this lady, a Beautiful Harley Biker Momma, with a killer set of legs. This lady was very nice and could ride a Harley as well as any man. Photo by Patrick McDonough.

Last night I enjoyed an hour and one half play by 3rd graders. The children danced, sang, and memorized a large volume of material. Remember when our brain worked that well? I am proud of my son Michael and he received an award for most improved in the classroom. I hope more schools demand more from the children. I hope Mayor Daley sobers up and does not expect gambling revenue to help schools, we learned that lesson from Instant Lotto. Instant Lotto is a money maker for Politicians and their family. Stay out of the Gambling Institution and watch your children improve. Photo by Patrick McDonough.

I want everyone to know, watch out if you see a Chicago Department of Water Management Truck in the rear-view mirror. The gas pedal sticks full open, and the Foreman of the Drivers ordered the driver to continue driving the truck
despite the hazardous situation. Mayor Daley lets get this truck repaired. The driver is using a rope to pull the gas pedal back. Let’s hope the driver does not get a heart attack!!! Photo by Patrick McDonough’s Inspector General-in-charge of the North Quadrant. Patrick McDonough.

I am looking forward to Chicago’s Air and Water Show again this year. The Chicago Department of Water Management has a nice picnic that my family enjoyed last year. I hope management will allow employees to bring cameras this year. I am donating my professional photography services again this year. I will also ask permission to bring my yacht on the premises. This could allow kids to enjoy the views from the lake. Patrick McDonough.

Today I had the honor of catching John Kass, the superstar columnist of the Chicago Tribune on a secret assignment. I am happy to have used the restroom of El Faro at 3936 West 31st Street and when existing found John Kass ready to make another great story on political dirty work in Chicagoland. We had a quick conversation about the Shakman agreement yesterday and I left. He was writing something on his “blackberry”. My question is, when Daley and the combine are stealing millions downtown, what is Kass doing at the Pulaski and 31st Street rough neighborhood? I bet a great story will be coming soon. If you want honest reports on the “Combine” read John Kass at the Chicago Tribune. I am still waiting for that coffee, Mr. Kass. Photo by Patrick McDonough.

Mara seemed in a good mood after the Shakman Decree meeting today. Mara’s spokes person looked very pregnant. Well the Chicago Taxpayers picked up the tab for more illegal activity. Mara skipped the hangman noose after certifying the City of Chicago was in compliance of the Shakman Decree all these years. Why is Mara so happy? Thank you to Michael “Mike” Shakman for taking my phone call today. I thanked him for helping the Chicago City Worker. I also helped Channel 2 News get some footage of Mara and her posse leaving court. Photo by Patrick McDonough.
