    This shop owned by cousins of the infamous Tony Rezko seem to take a nice little distance away from politics.


  2. - Jake From Elwood - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 11:40 am:

    “I’m sorry, but we don’t carry a catalytic converter strong enough to clean up the noxious emissions of those sort.”


  3. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 11:41 am:

    LOL


  4. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 11:42 am:

    “Apparently, somebody’s not clear on the concept of the witness protection program.”


  5. - The 'Broken Heart' of Rogers Park - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 11:48 am:

    Make big money on this once in a lifetime opportunity. Property for sale, building including.


  6. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 11:53 am:

    “This is gonna be as big as Panda Express. Bigger!”


  7. - Louis G. Atsaves - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 11:57 am:

    The vacant lot next door is owned by Obama? :-)


  8. - Rich Miller - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 11:59 am:

    Actually, I think the vacant lot was once occupied by Walker 10-minute Oil Change, but I could be wrong.


  9. - Leroy - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:00 pm:

    That white Pinto in front belongs to Barack Obama. Reko sold it to him well below cost ($99).


  10. - 312 - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:01 pm:

    I’m thinking G-Rod is the one being muffled…


  11. - Chicago Cynic - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:22 pm:

    You don’t need a contest, either of yours is great. Here’s one more.

    Guaranteed to muffle even the loudest ambition


  12. - Cal Skinner - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:23 pm:

    Stop the comments. No one can top Rich’s:

    “Apparently, somebody’s not clear on the concept of the witness protection program.”


  13. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:26 pm:

    Free citation with each muffler, uh, white Chevy Citation, that is.


  14. - Marbley - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:33 pm:

    Go right on route 219 and left on dead mans curve and right on over the hill, you will see Rezko Muffler Shop. Enter the rear of the building for the Desert Pole Dance Club no cover charge. See the new owner, bald guy with the mustache for your first free lap dance. See a guy named George for free drinks when he is in town. Have fun!


  15. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:38 pm:

    Go to the back of our garage and ask for our “Valentine’s Day special”.


  16. - Marbley - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:40 pm:

    lol


  17. - A Citizen - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:40 pm:

    Rezko’s - For a silence only a true politician can appreciate.


  18. - Ron Burgundy - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:46 pm:

    Wonder if they do wiring?


  19. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:51 pm:

    “Our deals are scandalous!”

    “See new manager - Norman Hsu!”


  20. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:54 pm:

    “We keep things “hush-hush”!”


  21. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:55 pm:

    “Sure - it’s tough to get in with our bricked-up doors, but it’s been damn easy for the weasels!”


  22. - Emmet Paloian - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 12:56 pm:

    Chris Kelly did the roof

    You get free Pizza or Chinese food while you wait


  23. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 1:00 pm:

    “Serving governors and president-wanna-bes since 2002.”

  25. - vern - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 1:03 pm:

    Latest recipient in small business development grants from DCEO


  26. - VanillaMan - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 1:14 pm:

    Today, in a surprising decision, the State of Illinois signed an exclusive contract with Rezko Muffler Shop to service all State of Illinois vehicles.


  27. - anon - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 1:21 pm:

    Next tollway interchange


  28. - been there - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 1:27 pm:

    were they far enough west to be in the middle east? the weeds grew at rezko’s place in whichever country it is where the head sheik is his buddy because his passport’s been taken away by the judge in chicago.


  29. - Anon - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 1:31 pm:

    Well its an anagram for:
    “Pork Froze Me Flush”


  30. - Big Beef with Everything - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 1:53 pm:

    “Keeping Everything Quiet For You”

    “Rezko’s - We-got-a-guy who can take care of your thing”


  33. - Establishment Republican - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 2:22 pm:

    “I’m Not Going to Pay a lot for this Official.”


  34. - Jaded - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 2:33 pm:

    An industrious Illinois political reporter recently found the true cash cow of the Rezko Empire in Tombstone, Arizona earlier this week.

    When asked about the success of the business, indicted influence pedler Tony Rezko was quoted as saying “We took all the money allocated for landscaping and used it to buy access to politicians. It was all downhill from there!”


  35. - MOON - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 2:52 pm:

    Under Blago’s leadership this is the only business that has or will come to Illinois. What a briight futue for Illinois.


  36. - Central Illinoisan - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 3:18 pm:

    Sid Rezko lacked his brother’s acumen in dealing with public officials. Thus he had to make an honest living at this auto shop 30 miles outside Flagstaff. Tony tossed him a bone by arranging a contract servicing the county dog pound’s vehicles.

    Who am I kidding? Rich won before it started.


  37. - Papa Legba - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 3:41 pm:

    “Muffler bearings - two for one specials*”

  43. - Marco E. Jacome - Wednesday, Sep 12, 07 @ 5:57 pm:

    I have known Mr. Guerra for the last 20 years. He has demonstrated to be an individual with integrity and dedication in benefiting and improving social services in the most underserved communities. His passion and hard work has inspired individuals like me and many other community members.
