Daley issued a statement Monday saying Duff's actions hurt the credibility of the city program that reserves work for companies operated by women and minorities. His lawyer should make the claim that his client was a civil rights pioneer, fighting against the entrenched racism and sexism of the city of Chicago.

Tell me it isn't true...LOL!

Here in the Windy City, stories of graft and corruption connected to City Hall are regular fixtures in the news.
I find it interesting that the normal response, even from conservatives is, to laugh it off; kinda like they do the recurring stories of voting irregularities.
After all, everyone knows this is how it is and has always been in Chicago. Right?
But I think we would be well-advised to quit falling into that trap, and instead make a very big and serious deal out of it.
The prosecutors have been making some real headway in cleaning up this place, and we need to take the opportunity to fill the void it is creating.
It may be the opportunity of a lifetime.

Q. Why does Mayor Richard Daley keep winning elections?
A. Because the women in Chicago need "Dick Daley" ;-)
To: Brian Mosely
The Democrat Attorney General, the Democrat Aldermen, the Democrat State House, the Democrat State Senate, the Democrat Governor, and the Democrat judges will want to handle this appropriately.

Here in the Windy City, stories of graft and corruption connected to City Hall are regular fixtures in the news. It's only been that way for what, about a hundred years or so?

Well, there is the Republican-appointed U.S. Attorney...

You know, I really miss Mike Royko. His description of Mayor Daley the First as a "potato with mange" still cracks me up.

Royko was an original.
I grew up in Omaha, NE. His column was a regular fixture in the local paper.
He really gave you the Chicago flavor, that's fer sure.

It reminded me of something his old man would have done.
Heavy-handed thuggery.
