He has cut deals with the Chicago City Council, the Illinois General Assembly, the Mayors Office and the Governors Office. Hes knocked on doors for Harold Washington, Richard M. Daley, Congressman Rostenkowski, and Congressman (now Mayor) Rahm Emanuel.
Hes had stories published in the New Orleans Review, TriQuarterly, Witness, and Other Voices, and, as a proponent for community empowerment, has made presentations about broadband and economic development at conferences throughout the US and Canada.
He is passionate about politics and the evils caused by personal and corporate greed.
He is frustrated by racists and aggravated by political correctness.
He loves the Seinfeld series and wishes Larry and Jerry would get back together, and while considered a lefty, is known also to be annoyed at slow traffic caused by pointy-headed intellectuals riding their bicycles (the only valid thing George Wallace ever said).
He loves his wife and children and is happiest when theyre together.
And for his epitaph, an old friend suggested this: He was always good for a Rolaids.lihat lebih sedikit
