This $35 million is nothing more that the latest shiny object Daley is dangling in front of voters. Nevermind the fact that while Daley is giving pennies to your face he is pulling dollars out of your back pocket. Why...
I watched the Bell run about 5 times on Tivo just to see Johnny Knox's burst of speed to go from 5 yards behind to out in front a lay a block on an Eagle safety. Man that guy is...
I can deal with the disaster that was/is/will be the Mayor's use of verb tense, but did he actually reference a "rhubarb" in the local press? Is this some arcane Bridgeport phrase I'm not aware of? I'm starting to think...
Apparently you haven't received your tax bill, had an uncovered open sewer in front of your house for 6 months, watched as your nice working class neighborhood looses patrol cars to "problem areas," or been to a parking meter lately....
Google image search seems to indicate that he is left handed: http://chicago2016supporters.wordpress.com/2009/08/08/daley-ally-will-be-asked-about-olympics-land-deal/ By the way, Michael Scott is a difficult name to image search. Apparently there is some character with the same name on a TV show....
Wow, what a sad and shocking story. Two prominent Chicago political insiders commit suicide in two months. Obviously something heavy was weighing on Scott, I wonder of the Feds poking around? Not to get conspiratorial but the S-T is reporting...
Now the laws of physics are under the jurisdiction of Cook County? The ol' speed of light is pretty much a constant, even in the non vacuum of earth's atmosphere. So now the work of the police and the money...
These ads make no sense after the collective love fest leading up to the failed Olympics bid on the part of every media outlet, save the Reader. MayDay's recent budget speech was filled with BS (not raise taxes, but prop...
Talk is cheap, dumbass. This whole pay "professionals" bribe to vote for me scheme might just work. The problem is the real work that needs to be done is street repair and classroom teaching, both of which can't be done...
From Chicago Breaking News: "He connected to the Kennedy downtown and eventually was part of the traffic that squeezed by the construction site. After two hours in traffic, he said he managed to get both extremely dehydrated and in need...
The way this Shelbourne Dev group runs projects it sounds like if this whole Spire thing goes bust they can just get overpaid jobs in City Hall. Over promise, under deliver, spin a disaster into a gleaming idea for the...
I forgot to add: The mayor just spent three years touting the 2016 Olympics as the best economic engine for Chicago. I contend that a meaningful reduction in crime and a wholesale improvement in the school system would leave the...
Interesting, but let's dig a little deeper (Tribune: this is known as research): Chicago Homicides through Sept 30: 2004: 356 2005: 353 2006: 355 2007: 341 2008: 393 2009: 348 So the story should be not about how there was...
Every single on of us, even the employed ones, would assume Oprah's financial situation in a second. My guess is that Oprah losing $400M is like you or I leaving a wallet on the train: a royal pain in the...
According to Rick Bayless's twitter feed he didn't get the equipment he needed to prepare his food and sounds kinda pissed. Super-bummed: never got our promised cooking equip RT @AllisonLev bummed we couldn't try ur food@Chicago Gourmet- good to see...
Regardless of the Drudge Report story the Fox Chicago producer should be fired for running this story as it aired. In the piece the host states that no contact info is available to confirm who put the website up or...
