On December 4th, 1969 Chicago Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton was killed in his bed by the Chicago police under the direction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Cook County States Attorney Edward Hanrahan. While no official was ever charged or convicted of the crime, the families of Hampton and Mark Clark, also murdered in the same incident, filed a civil suit and won a $1.85 Million settlement from the City of Chicago.

Welcome to Bizzaro World.

PopoutBack in the sixties there was a comic book called Bizzaro World.
Also known as Htrae, which is Earth spelled backwards, of course.
Everything was backwards in Bizarro World. They followed the Bizzaro Code: ”Us do opposite of all Earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!”
As I follow the debate of the so-called fiscal cliff in Washington and the pension fight in Illinois, I have come to believe that Illinois is actually Bizzaro World.
