“Enough is not a feast,” quoth some wag, after piling it on at the Olde Endless Buffet.

The long lines of plastic snot guarded vats of hot and cold casserole chow, pink boulders of ham and crags of green-grey beef awaited his chubby arms balancing the platters, plates and bowls that he would array before him. More is always better than not.

Tuck away, Champ!

So it continues with Folks who will put anything through their maws and down their miles of tripes! Rather than engage in the grace of feasting – forking samples of well-prepared delicacies that delight the palates, warm the heart and nourish the soul; taking in oxygen between many meticulous bites and warming the blood with chat and remarks on the day and dreams that may come; sipping the vintage of day’s good fortunes following pledges of Health and Beauty – it is easier to get your calorie package on and for less than Twenty Bucks!

This week marks the Feast of Fools:Scott Lee Cohen -Benefactor! A celebration of the gluttons who feast at the Olde Endless Buffet banquet boards – Illinois Columnists and Editorial Boards.

News Reporters generally eat information like Poor Clares. Mark Brown’s fatuous dismissal of the meat of the Scott Lee Cohen saga, is, or should be, the focus of our attentions. The Chicago Sun Times encourages Mark Brown’s gluttony. However, the Sun Times also employs lean reporters and writers like Natasha Korecki, Maureen O’Donnell, Tim Novak and Mark Konkol who take careful bites of information and offer nourishing tips, treats and truthful treacle. However the highlighted and celebrated Glutton Columnists stuff themselves at the Ever Topped -Off Troughs and offer up a vomitorium sluicing the same-old-same-old.

These Media News Troughs around which our pundits wallow seem to be the wormier variety of elected officials who toss stories, trends and doctrines to News Gluttons like Mark Brown like the now banned parade candy tossers of Naperville. – “ Hey Mark, I know who Jasper Kale hired down at County and he said that African Americans take Affirmative Action way too seriously. Just say that I am “a long-time and celebrated community activist who has held public office” – you know.”

Our News Gluttons wolf down the treats and then dash to the creaking larders and boards that sustain their morbidly obese brains and vomit up steady low of very unwholesome and useless information – undigested facts and empty truth calories.

It seems to me that Scott Lee Cohen stuffing was created by our Illinois Opinion Gluttons and Vomiters after being sated for decades by Public Policy confectioners; privately funded University Centers, lawsuit addicted lawyers, agenda driven public officials, disgruntled rats and snitches who find themselves on the edge of unemployment in public sector jobs, criminals seeking to avoid prosecution or seeking a way out of prison, or trend setting millionaire celebrities.

The Feast of Fools -Scott Lee Cohen Benefactor and our Democratic Lt. Governor Candidate – was not foisted upon us by Party Bosses, Machiavellian Mike Madigan, ‘stupid Illinois voters,’ or systemic racism.

The problem for Cohen was that he made his announcement to me, and I wasn’t taking him very seriously. That’s why I told Cohen at the time that nobody even knew who he was, let alone cared enough to want to read about his dirty laundry, and I didn’t see the need to go into it. . . . How was I to know way back then that the Democratic voters of Illinois would be so dumb as to elect him, brainwashed by millions of dollars in advertising about his job fairs?. . .Voters can’t say they weren’t warned. – Mark Brown.

Trencherman Brown’s face is sweating so seriously from that gob-stuffing that he looks like a rear –view mirror! You gotta feed this guy with a sling-shot!

The Feast of Fools -Scott Lee Cohen Benefactor -is here because what passes for our Media is merely a bloated collection of gluttons for the easy ledes, stories, hooks, causes, or campaigns – like these: Buy Back Guns and Black Kids Won’t Die; All Police Activity is Based Upon Systemic Racism; Every Thug Is a Tortured Soul; Every Tradesman is Over Paid; Wal-Mart Keeps SEIU from Making the Rules and that is just Sad; Asian Carp Signal More Gay Lesbian Transgender and Bisexuals in Public Policy Telling the Supreme Court That The Chicago River Must Be Reversed; Pay Bad Teachers More Tax Money or We March in Winnetka!

Scott Lee Cohen went to Mark Brown ( The Buffet came to the glutton) – like a steel vat of over-cooked Cheesy Mac -but Mark Brown scooped out only the tough crust on the top, sprinkled with job fair policy. That leather sampling came back up on Mark and Illinois. No amount of Di gel can assuage that Tummy Burn. The Hooker, the Knife, the Abused wife, and the Adder Steroids laced that treat, Mark Brown.

We Helots read. We leave what is uncooked and unwholesome on the plate to be scraped into the trash. We remember what we read, because like our diets, we pay for what we eat.

The News Media needs a powerful purgative. The death of Olde Grey Lady Buffet newspapers might be just the ticket.

Remember – take what you want and eat what you take
