George "Deep Pocket" Gollin Worth >$2.3M

[Harrison J Bounel]

How deep is that pocket, George Gollin?

Thinking of suing some asshole college drone for stalking, extortion, defamation, civil rights violations or computer hacking? If the asshole college drone in question is George Dana Gollin you are in luck--according to public disclosure forms George Gollin claims to be worth between $2.3 million and $4.0 million. A nice deep pocket to go after if for some reason you can't figure out how to sue the State of Illinois.

The metro-east candidates running for U.S. House nominations in the March 18 primary have filed financial disclosure forms on their household assets and incomes. These documents show that:

13th House Democratic primary

* Former Madison County Chief Judge Ann Callis reported household net worth of between $3 million and nearly $10 million and income in 2013 of at least $50,000.

* Physics professor George Gollin reported assets of between $2.3 million and $4 million, and earnings by August 2013 of $88,208 as a University of Illinois professor.

But consider the source....it's notorious prevaricator George Gollin himself! Using Gollin Math the real number could be anywhere from $2.30 to $230 billion.

Didn't seem to make any money from publishing. Whatever happened to the grant money he was given to research a book on degree mills that no-one would ever read, presumably a paraphrase of Bear's work? I guess he paid it back.

One may be surprised to find out that the allegedly impressive cathedral of academic -and para-academic- publishing rests on foundations made of sand: the trading of mafioso favors and tokens of deference between the usual mutual admiration society of lefties, freemasons, minorities and other advocates of the greater good.
Almost nobody reads that crud anyways: it's just as good as one more line on one's resume.
And who gets into the circuit anyways? You bet: the chap whose ideas, sexual orientation, skin color or party card the publisher likes ...that's what the free press is all about, right?

George Gollin should have rounded up 15 "editors" to do some "research" for him. Since most of his book is fiction anyway, he could have "borrowed" a few anecdotes from someone like Bill Wyman to spice things up. Like how he wrote "Jumpin' Jack Flash," banged thousands of groupies, and had all his money stolen by Allen Klein. Or better still, a little Dylan Farrow type action. I'm guessing he wouldn't need to fictionalize that part too much.

Millionaire Marxist Misogynist George Gollin Caught Lying Again--By Dem Supporter!

Anybody who has read Gollin's tripe on the DL boards over the years knows he's a scumbag and a pathological liar. Now even his fellow Dumb-ocrats are discovering the truth.

"Big Debbie," a Dem shill, caught Gollin red-handed in another whopper. Gollin falsely claimed his primary opponent, Judge Callis, refused to debate him--a full week after she had agreed to debate all the candidates.

So is Gollin's "botched attack" disingenuous or "just" incompetence? Knowing what we know about Gollin, it's probably both.

Gollin swings and misses.

George Gollin is on the attack in the 13th CD democratic primary. He has been all over twitter and Facebook demanding Judge Ann Callis agree to debate him at the League of Women Voters/NAACP/News-Gazette debate on February 20, 2014:



Heck, if you go to his website something even pops up about the debate.

Then, last night at a local Champaign democrats event his campaign was handing out a letter he sent to Callis demanding she agree to debate him!



The thing I found odd about this, though, was that I had already made a post about the debate back on January 16th wondering if Rodney Davis would should up to the debate. I was told at that time that the organizers had confirmed all the candidates would participate, except for Davis. Confused, I shot an email over to the Callis campaign, which confirmed that they had RSVP’d for the Feb 20th debate “over a week ago.”

So Gollin is demanding Callis agree to a debate she has already agreed to? On twitter, in letters, on Facebook, and in handouts at local democratic events? Is he the only person that doesn’t know she already agreed to the debate?

I’m not exactly sure if this botched “attack” is disingenuous or just incompetence, but I think the latter. Gollin is a good guy and would make a good congressman, but obviously not a good candidate. His campaign has previously said it was “premature” to seek endorsements. Now this botched attack about nothing?

What does the Gollin campaign have planned next?

UPDATE 1/30/14: The Callis campaign has sent out a press release confirming the debates they have agreed to participate in:

Today former Chief Judge and Democratic challenger Ann Callis announced her primary forum schedule, which includes opportunities for voters in all parts of the district to hear about her proven record of fighting for veterans and middle-class families and priorities for Congress.

Callis has already appeared at a Candidate’s Forum hosted by the McLean County Democrats in Bloomington on November 14th. She will be participating in a Candidate Forum in Champaign on Feb 20th hosted by the local NAACP, League of Women Voters, and The News-Gazette. Finally, she has agreed to attend a Candidate Forum hosted by the League of Women Voters in Madison County on March 6th. During the 2012 cycle, there was just one candidate forum held between the Democratic candidates during the primary.

“I’ve really enjoyed speaking to voters all around our district and look forward to sharing my vision for Congress at future events,” said Callis. “I truly believe in public service, and am proud of work I’ve done on behalf of veterans and middle-class families. In Washington, I’ll stand up for Illinois families to strengthen our economy, help veterans returning from service, and protecting Medicare and Social Security for generations to come.”

Callis has earned the support of the Illinois AFL-CIO, the Illinois Police, the Amalgamated Transit Union, the Boilermakers, the Machinists, the United Food and Commercial Workers, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the Operating Engineers Local 399. She has the endorsement of Senator Durbin, EMILY’s List, the Champaign County Young Democrats, and all three of the County Democratic Parties who voted on endorsements (Jersey, Madison and Macon).

101-Year-Old Man Announces Campaign For Congress
February 19, 2014 9:07 AM



SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. (CBS Tampa) – A 101-year-old man has announced his intentions to run for Congress.

Sarasota County resident Joe Newman will be vying for Florida’s 16th Congressional District, WFLA is reporting.

He feels that his age is an advantage to him, and that his years of life experience have given him an education that he is keen to share with others.

“You learn through life you have certain responsibilities,” he told the station. “And if you don’t fulfill them, how can you look in the mirror?”

Newman lived through the Great Depression when he was just 16 years of age – one of many formative experiences in his long life, and one of many dramatic national shifts he witnessed over the years.

Some of his trials and tribulations have inspired his aspirations. If elected, Newman hopes to work toward creating a government that can eradicate poverty and take care of its senior citizens by properly funding Social Security and expanding Medicare.

And for those who might doubt him, he had a few choice words.

“If people are saying, who is this fool at 101 and running? Call me a fool. I’m sorry, but I’ve got to get out and convince John and convince Jim, hey think!” he told WFLA. “What is the best thing our society can do and what is the responsibility of our society?”

He continued, “My hope is that we get a chance to speak out and make people reflect on what you want from your society.”
