Relax With Friends.




Have a good weekend.

Addendum --

PRU readers --We just received a copy of an email with an account of what has taken place today, and what anony-mouse first alluded to in comments posted here.

We haven't had a chance to verify the email, and the Pub-dogs seem to have scooped us again.

You can read the account on their website --

Pub-dogs -- Howard the Bully

We sure are hoping at least part of this story isn't true.

HEY MAYOR FRIMARK---your threats to those of us getting signatures on the police station petition are just showing your lack of class, your sliminess and your true colors.
Congratulations. You just lit a fire under a large part of the community to defeat you in the election. More than ever.
So long, sucker.

Mouse,

What happened?!?! Specific threats?? Inquiring minds want to know!

Anonymous said...

I'll let Mouse or others fill in the community, but this is the most shameful episode in Park Ridge politics that this town has ever experienced. Howard should join Blago in the impeachment line.

Howie felt it necessary to phone a place (or two?) that we were going to spend the weekend at, getting signatures on the petition. Telling them that they shouldn't be involved in politics.
Of course, I am sure he will "spin" it in his own slimy way.
A liar's true colors come through eventually. Whether it's in his own small world, in the eyes of the attorney general or in the eyes of the media.
Stick a fork in him. He is done.

So, you could say that this issue will lose the election for him?
That is just crazy talk.
It's like saying that a snowstorm could win a mayoral election.
I think Howie is drinking Blago's Kool-Aid.

PAGING PAT FITZGERALD!!!

wait, is this the guy who had his campaign kick-off at Morningfield's and is now telling a retailer not to get involved in politics?
I guess we should start a boycott of Morningfield's then, to show our utter disgust.

Anonymous said...

Can't boycott Morningfields. Part-owned by Frank DiFranco. Wouldn't be prudent.

if the part about sending the cops over to intimidate oberweis employees is true, that's illegal and frimark should be brought up on charges.

if the story's true, that's utterly inexcusable. the man should be put in jail.

this is the drum that anti-frimark folks can beat right up until election day. do not let up on this one.

if the story sticks and has legs, he will lose and lose badly.

i wasn't too motivated to go sign the petition, but now i'm going to go out of my way to do so. i hope a thousand or so others do the same. i'll tell my neighbors about this.

howard, if you're reading...you just played yourself.

Keep it together, people.

the petition getting enough signatures is one issue. the allegtion that the police are involved in the furtherance of any political agenda is a very serious matter. hope the fact of this allegation come to light

Anonymous said...

PRU--with all due respect for what you do, I sincerely disagree. We should not "keep it together."

It's time to take our town back.

We SHOULD get ticked off and fight. Get a little crazy and step out of your living rooms, out of your McMansions, out of your warm cars.

STAND UP for once. Don't stand back and let others run this town into the ground.

Schmidt for Mayor.
Open House tonight at 36 Main St. at 5pm

ms. manchester --

The reminder to keep it together is for everyone.

However, my motivation for asking that the reminder be given is particularly intended for those whose comments we have not posted because of their over the top nature. And yes, even we believe some comments are over the top and unacceptable.

Everyone, keep your shoes on your feet, your ropes in your garages, your cars at the speed limit, your tools in your garden sheds, and channel your anger in ways that will keep you out of the pokey.

Folks... there is a time and a place for us to go and vent about this maddness:

> Monday, 01/12/2009 at 7pm
> Public Works Building
>Committee of the Whole meeting
> Public Works and Public Safety on the agenda

Howard should be there
Swoboda should be there
The seven aldermen should be there

Perfect time to ask questions about this travesty. Who did what? how? and when? Who knew? Are cops running around intimidating town merchants? Why is Howard acting the way he is???

Ms. Manchester 3:23 pm

I second your motion!!! Everyone needs to get involved...this is our town and we need to put it back on track to some kind of normalcy.

Frimark is an embarrassment!!

Anonymous said...

PRU--hahahha. They couldn't put ALL of us in the pokey! THEN we would need to build a new police station!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are the local guidelines for collecting petition signatures? Are we allowed to go inside?

ParkRidgeUnderground said...

Anon@4:03 --

Sidewalks are public property and anyone can stand on a sidewalk to collect petition signatures.

Business are privately owned -- out of courtesy, if nothing else, the owner's permission is needed.

Anonymous said...

and the police KNOW that, right?

PRU.ADMIN said...

anony-mouse --

Yes, our police officers know that.

A friend of mine sent me a message about all this. Howard Frimark, YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT.

Anonymous said...

Is this Germany?

Someone said that Howard is going
a small mustache? Hair parted down the middle ? Shiny boots?

Oh' boy!

Anonymous said...

Is Howard a long lost relative of Blago?!? Signs of another sick mind, living in a dillusion!

PRU:

The Pubdogs don't have the email account you refer to. What happened??????

Anonymous said...

Shortly after Howard gets re-elected
all PK citizens will be required
to carry " your papers".

Gestopo tactics won't work here.
The new police chief we hear speaks German very well too.

All blond colored haired children must report in to 505 and see Howie!

Where should I go now if I wanted to sign the petition today?

Anonymous said...

today you can go to New Prospects to sign the petition

Anonymous said...

TOMORROW (Sunday) you can sign the petition with one of the volunteers outside the library, on the public sidewalk, from 11:30am to 1:30pm.
if you have petitions to turn in, you can hand them in then.
Thank you to Joe Egan for all his hard work!
