Rogers Park @ War with Alderman Moore

Two years after Joe Moore's razor thin victory over a political unknown, Rogers Park residents still are at war with the clueless Alderman named Joe Moore.
To appreciate Rogers Park politics you have to think of it as a war. As one squabble ends (like the recent one over who’s going to manage the long-awaited community center in Willye B. White Park), another one begins (like the ruckus over the Nation).

My vote goes in the mope category. How would you vote today?

Moore shows little interest in managing a ward. His primary focus is being a member of the Chicago City Council.

He is passionate about big picture, matters like workers' rights and animal rights. As far as managing a ward, he shows little interest or ability.

The only interest Joe Moore has in Rogers Park is to milk it for cash to fund his re-election to the City Council.

Given the choices MVP or Mope?
Well I'd have to vote MOPE.
Or DOPE.
But Joe-Blow is worse than that.
He is a nasty wind-bag who has over the years encouraged the import of his political base, the low-life element and their seed who have made life here dangerous, dirty, foul, and.... well, a hell hole.

Joe Moore loyalist, Tom Westgard, hard at work today.

On Mike Luckenbach...."in spite of the racist and antipoor harassment from entitled white middle class jackwads like yourself....."

On Ben Joravsky.... "Joravsky routinely and mindlessly sucks Dick Simpson's toes...."

Again, talking about Ben Joravsky... "you make up bullshit that doesn't exist...."

On blogs... "blogs are a racist, gay-hating lynch mob who seek to victimize the poor...."

Westgard is a real moron. He accuses people of being 'racist' when they object to concentrations of poverty and subsidized housing. It has nothing to do with race...it's about economics, and that is why, all over the city and country subsidized, residential concentrations of poverty are being replaced with REAL MIXED INCOME COMMUNITIES. Everywhere, that is, except NoH. Westgard is like an instigator/inciter who lies, uses innuendos and distorts facts to rile people up. He's actually pretty pathetic.

Westgard, Westgard...where to I know that name from... Oh! Now I remember! He's one of the three partners/editors of The Urban Coaster (not)Inc. Yes, I remember now. That's the piece of shit rag that cynically claims to want to unite the neighborhood and "empower" people. So why, then, is The Urban Coaster editor so hateful and divisive???

Sorry to thread-jack. But I was curious if anyone knows what's going on with the demolition of the building on Morse between JB's pizza and the old folks home? Any idea what they're planning on putting up in its place?

Mr. Westgard needs serious
'ignorance intervention'.

Roger P,
Thanks you for sharing you views about my 'commenting' regarding our friend, Mr. Westgard. FYI, as long as Mr. Westgard attacks me by calling me names and with slanderous, libelous lies, I will comment on his irrational behavior and ignorant comments. Thank you very much!
P.S.
Someone is one word, as you used it.

One final comment on Mr. Westgard: A good friend of mine, who happens to be a very successful criminal and civil litigator, contacted me today. He's been reading the blog comments posted by Mr. Westgard libeling and defaming me as a 'racist' and he offered me some free legal advice in regard to the matter, "You may want to bring an action for libel or slander if you feel the comments are so reprehensible and false that they affect your reputation in the community or cast aspersions on you." It's advice that I pass on to others who might want to take it into consideration in dealing with Mr. Weatgard's verbal assaults.
