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.

When I sent Ed's link to my gov't buddy in D.C., he came back with
this:

"It's interesting that the writer points out how dirty Chicago
politics is, and how the Chicago political machine has pushed foisted
many bad programs on the unsuspecting (or effectively powerless)
public, without once mentioning Obama's name or presidency.

There are no coincidences in politics..."

So far Mr. Obama has used his personally exciting presidency for initiatives
that are spending public money on a scale not seen since ancient Egypt.
