      <![CDATA[As we all know, President-Elect Obama was on the US Senate Committee for Health Care and continues to pursue advanced technology for electronic medical records. Take a look at the following new medical record technology that has recently been seen on CNN and ABC.
    
    The secure medical record digital card with audio and video that has recently hit the market is the size of a credit card, fits in your wallet and carries our medical records securely and is password protected.  
    
    CNN and ABC have run this recent technology and thought I would send it your way for review.  
    CNN - http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-164267
    ABC - http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-166532
    
    This is very important to the advancement of health care, accuracy of information, and health care for Americans.
    
    Best regards,

      <![CDATA[I'm still waiting for a reply from my union regarding the criteria necessary for a foreman position. 
    
    My illustrious Business Agent and trusty Union Steward informed me that advancing my education was a waste of time earlier this year. 
    
    Since education isn't the answer, I can only surmise that the sought after criteria entails the following:  clout, nepotism, cronyism, fundraising ability,  and engratiating skills. 
    
    Who is the sick freak talking about his underwear and slurpees?  Does he really have a management position in the City?

I love that Man without him life would be pointless. I  would even  consider it a honor to have his shit stained underwear. Piss on me Daley I will call it a Slurpee.

      <![CDATA[Oreo( Darro Mitchell),
     I would never insult anyone with breast cancer. I respect Maggie Daley, it's her husband who has lost touch with reality. My mother died of breast cancer , so I would never make light of the terrible illness. With that said, I would love to meet you one day when you grow some balls, so I can crush your fuckin face , pussy!

      <![CDATA[At least when Jan Pestka fired Coconate she told the truth. Say what you want about Coconate but he milked the Water Department for almost three decades. Working out at a gym when he should have made sure city workers had shoring. That is a selfish pig. Many city workers died and are injured because Frank looked the other way. Frank does not even have a job anymore! He was fired again today!

The taxpayers are paying the frieght for this drukin slob who has the nerve to beef on other City Workers when he himself breaks the law everyday he lives in DesPlaines.

      <![CDATA[The City of Chicago Taxpayers paid for a slew of high price lawyers investigating allegations of improprieties by the Chicago Department of Water Management employees in the North District. One employee was Paul Hansen, the son of Bernard Hansen, a retired Chicago Alderman, now a registered lobbyist in Chicago for a up and coming bank. Paul Hansen sure moved up the chain of command mighty quickly prior to the FEDS moving in on Shakman Violations in Chicago. Yesterday, Paul Hansen gave a big huggly snuggly to a high ranking Water official that just experienced an unfortunate loss of a family member yesterday. At least one interview was held in Donald Tomsczak's old office which was quite ironic. I am concerned said one source; Mayor Daley should only have us talking to lawyers employed by the City. This bill should be a whopper, but due to Chicago record high gas prices, Chicago taxpayers will pick up the tab one way or another. Patrick McDonough.
