scrawled the following:

You've got to hand it to Chicago. Not only is it so corrupt that nobody
dares fight the corruption for fear of becoming part of the aggregate
in a
concrete building foundation, but even the sportswriters are driven to
paroxysms of disgust and flights of literary acrobatics. From the
Sun-Times
today:

"The City of Chicago, led by Mayor Daley and a vast and tumorous army
of
aldermen and bagmen and yesmen and opportunists and spineless,
parasitic
political-machine halfwits of forms never seen outside the roiling
cesspool
of governmental slop-trough greed, has proven itself unworthy of
something
as potentially delicious and fulfilling as the 2016 Olympic Games..."

It's an entertaining read. g
VERY! Any word on the legbreakers visiting Rick yet? g

I adore your quoted paragraph. It's what comes to mind when I think of
CONgresscritters, or gov't in general.


I thought you'd like that. And keep in mind, that's what they put on the
*sports pages* in Chicago. g

But we're too wise to elect products of ChiTown politics to national
office.

I'm more inclined to believe we recognized that a politician who was
fire-formed in that furnace is tough enough to deal with almost anything,
despite a relative lack of experience. And anyone who can survive it without
being sucked into its vortex must be one hell of a sharp guy.
