Tell me this. How active is the mafia in Chicago.. And how many ties do they have? Seems they get their way w/ the people w/ power.

[socalrappy700]

This should give everyone a real glimpse at Illinois politics.  This state is SO messed up.  Some bad dudes.

I don't want to embellish the fact but they are VERY active.  They are connected to ALL political figures in Chicago and the state of Illinois.  I will laugh at anyone who tells me that even Obama isn't connected to them.  Its just how it's done in this state.  My father was REQUIRED to use certain sub contractors on projects in order to get his permits signed off on.

Yeah, I mean, I don't blame the governors for being corrupt, especially when I would bet their life as well as their family's life could be at stake..

Disneyland's 'Jack Sparrow' Actors Fired

December 9, 2008

ANAHEIM -- Disneyland management has fired the four actors who played pirate Jack Sparrow because officials were worried about young female park-goers flashing the swashbuckling actors late at night, according to one former cast member.

"They lost control when they saw Jack Sparrow," said former pirate Brandon Pinto, who left the role after a dispute with management a year ago. "This is a sexy, rock-star pirate."

The pirate actors said they were told they were no longer needed at about the same time that additional fairies were added to the park's cast, presumably to promote Disney's new movie "Tinkerbell."

Disneyland officials confirmed that the pirate was indeed fired (due to declining relevance and diminishing visitor requests), but flatly denied published reports that the dismissal had anything to do with female fans flashing their breasts at the swashbuckling actors who portray Jack Sparrow at the Anaheim theme park.

Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown called the breast-flashing rumors "absolutely false" and "simply not true."

The animatronic characters on the Pirates of the Caribbean water-wide will remain, according to Disneyland officials.

The fired Jack Sparrow actors greeted visitors and posed for photos on Tom Sawyer Island and occasionally wandered around New Orleans Square near the POTC ride. Disneyland promises the bad boy buccaneer, made famous by Johhny Depp in the trilogy of movies, will eventually return — "some day."

I miss disneyland, we hand an annual pass and would just go down to hang out on a Saturday night, hit some rides, grab some food and call it a night.

[Peelz]

Totally miss disneyland Socal...especially now that I know chicks will randomly flash characters.



But really. Planning on taking the littlest out there in a year and a half. We took Aidan there 2 yrs ago and to visit family. Awesome! More tiring than when you were a kid.

Dodn't you think that would have been exploited during the election?

Nope, because they have their hands in everyone.  If "the other side" brings it out then it could turn around against them.

So you're saying there are high level Republicans involved too?

The governor looks like he's a Russian mobster.

Maybe not the highest, but I wouldn't doubt it.  But at the state level they are.  Same with the house and senate.  And high level republicans aren't about to let them roll.  Our ex governor was a republican and where is he?......prison on corruption charges.  We'll be two for two in this state.
