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.
Ed, are you still as gung ho on Obama as you were in November? Have
you seen any stumbling or miscues yet?

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.
