The real story here is not that Sears is leaving, but why on Earth anyone is staying?

I’ll bet the folks at Boeing who a couple of years ago chose to go to that socialist shittehole and passed on Dallas wishes they could undo that decision. Be interesting to know the whole story on that move....you can bet there was some big under the table bucks involved.

Wisconsin is open for business, and the gasoline needed for moving wouldn’t be all that bad.

Motorola Mobility just got $100M from Gov. Quinn-occhio, and Motorola Solutions just got a sole-source, no-bid contract with the state for a radio system. Who says "pay to play" isn't alive and well in the state of Madiganistan?

Will the Unions and DUmmies protest and use thugish behavior to try to force Sears to stay?
