Goose Liver rolls down hill - now Ald. Shirley Coleman announces that she will support Mayor Daley’s veto of the Joe Moore’s Goose II follies.

I think it’s important the states retain command of their own Guards overall. This move looks like yet another overreaching attemp by the Bush administration to seize even more power in the name of holy ’security’. Instead of removing state controls, they could concentrate on better communication and coordination with the states, and get the same results without compromising state rights.

Anyone else creeped out by the severed head look on Phil Hare’s website?

Ald. Coleman has such weak convictions that she would switch her vote if Daley told her to. Several other aldermen (Matlak, Cardenas, Solis) would do the same. They would pant and beg for treats if Daley ordered them to. Pick a side and change your mind only based on principles. This weak-minded aldermanic mindset is what allows corruption to fester at City Hall.
