Illinois residents my assfay!
Like Boston’s Big Dig, the whole damn country will end up watching the Chicago Crew stuffing our tax dollars into their pockets.
Daley and the gang are virtually certain that Obama will cover their bets with our bucks.
My hubby is from Chicago & the first time he took me to visit his family I seen my first rat (I thought it was a rabbit), first bum (he was climbing out of the bushes) & had my first & only obscene phone call. No way I’m going back to visit unless family is having an emergency.
no way will i let my family be killed with 2 by 4

Free corn dogs? I'm so there. Wait, this is Chicago. Folks might get upset about the tactical shotgun and bandolier slung over my shoulder.

Wow! If you won’t go someplace for a free corn dog, you MUST be serious or series.
One of the Olympic spokesmouths was doing an interview over the weekend. He claimed tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies would be about $1000. My guess is you can multiply that by 3 or 4. He said they would be looking for volunteers to work the various events and that would be a good way to see an event free. From what I have heard, a few events will be held out where I live in the ‘burbs. If I’m still here in 2016, I plan on staying close to home.
Oh come on now, every big city has rats and bums, Chicago doesn’t have a monopoly on those! As for obscene phone calls, I don’t pick up if I don’t recognize the caller ID so I can’t comment.
Chicago has good points and bad points like any other town, but the bad points are really bad. Going to high school within walking distance of the projects, dealing with corrupt fascist Chicago cops, walking through Uptown after sunset; these aren’t things I would recommend to anyone.
I live here and hope we don’t get the Olympics because it would be a travesty. Just the fact that they are planning to hold most of the events in some of the roughest neighborhoods is reason alone to shudder at the thought of what will happen when thousands of clueless foreign tourists with full wallets show up there...
There's no chance caliph bammy and his horde of sycophants will let even a single ticket be unsold. That would make him and his flunkies lose face. This is after all, his home village...er...town.
I'm betting there will be very few pans of the audience unless there are buses fulled with acorns or black puss...er...panthers shipped in to pack the venue.
And should some miracle occur preventing the packing of the seats, you can rest assured the porcine squeals of “Racism! Those #@$#@% crackers wanted to make the chosen one look bad!” will echo through the arena and across the evening news for months after wards.
Hell no, and I’m in the NW suburbs!
I won’t even watch the 0lympics on TV if they are in Chicago. I want that commie pig usurper 0bozo to fail in everything he does or says.
I wouldn’t give the folks of Chicago the sweat off my balls if they were dying of thirst!
There were seven cities prophesied for a nuclear attack. I can’t remember if Chicago was one of them or not. Montreal, Cincinnati, NYC, Washington, Orlando maybe and one in TX. Maybe Chicago was one of them. I think it may be more like suitcase bombs. What have you heard? Freepmail me if you’d rather.
In my vast experience (smile), there are only lines to the women’s rooms.
