“The analogy we use around here sometimes and is accurate is if a JV team puts on Laker uniforms, that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant.” – President Barack Obama to David Remnick on the threat posed by ISIS

Don’t look now Mr. President but the J.V. team just truncated one of our own.

Is the decapitated head of an American journalist somehow less revolting when viewed from the presidential seat in Golf Cart One?

Quinn and Muslim Advisory Council Fail to Condemn Foley Beheading

Neither Governor Pat Quinn nor his Muslim American Advisory Council have commented on, or condemned, ISIS’ beheading of American journalist James Foley.

Quinn’s Muslim American Advisory Council is the only religious group to which the governor has reached out. Although the 500,000 Muslims in Illinois make the state home to the largest Muslim population in America, Catholics are the largest religious group, and unaffiliated evangelicals are the second largest.

No advisory councils or committees representing those two religious groups are listed among the 58 commissions Quinn has created.
