It's one of the few politician-sponsored activities that should be free of controversy: a high school art contest.

But an annual citywide competition to design the stickers affixed to every windshield in Chicago has suddenly become a public relations nightmare.

The sticker, designed by 15-year-old Herbie Pulgar, depicts Chicago's famous skyline inside of a heart, with a backdrop of the city's blue and white flag. Extending up from the heart are four hands, and above them, symbols representing police officers, firefighters and paramedics.

Yeah, I anticipate this kid's picture will become popular around here. Are reports the little banger wannabe was a member of the Maniac Latin Disciples.

What the hell is the government of the city of Chicago complaining about? Street gang memebers are residents of the city, and vote. Jesse Jackson sometimes holds special meetings at the Cook County jail encouraging street gang members to vote when the get out of the slam, and to encourage the gang members families to vote democratic. The city can try to play innocent, but that god damn city already walks hand in hand with the gangs. The city deserves a street gand city sticker. Embrace it, love it, use it!
