OT - Chicago politics
On Fri, 5 Jun 2009 01:59:39 -0400, the infamous "Ed Huntress"
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..." http://www.suntimes.com/sports/olymp...PT-rick05.stng 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. --- 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. -- Daniel Henninger WSJ Online, 4 June 2009 "Obama's America: Too Fat to Fail The age of the induced industrial coma." |
