Don’t they have a nice sewage treatment plant they could name after our president?

“The Battle of the Midway? Wasn’t that when all the youths showed up at the State Fair and started fighting?”

Just wait for the day they’re renamed Obama and Alinsky.

Well, I certainly remember the Battle of Midway. But I must admit that having stopped over in Midway Airport numerous times on the way to somewhere else, I just assumed it was midway on many trips. I would guess that it might be the biggest stopover airport in the country.

Chicago also used to be the biggest railroad hub.

His father, “Easy Eddie,” was an attorney for Al Capone and aided the prosecution on the tax evasion charges. Mr. O’Hare was later murdered by persons unknown. Butch O’Hare was ultimately listed MIA.

I learned that from an episode of Paul Harvey’s “The Rest of the Story.”

Mayor Rahm Emanuel appeared to suggest renaming one of Chicago’s airports after President Barack Obama on Thursday, but also sounded confused about how the O’Hare and Midway got their current names.

Hey Rahm, rename Midway for 0bama, that way I will never go into there during inclement weather (or any other time). You will keep me safe, Rahm...just like you do with all the people of color in the Southside.

Wasn’t Butch O;Hare’s father a corrupt Chicago politician? I seem to remember reading that as a young man Butch was very much ashamed of him.
Boy Howdy! Did not Butch make up or his father’s short comings.

No, no, no.

Name a smelly outhouse after Dorkbama.

One that we can still use in order to give to Obama what he so truly deserves.

He probably thinks its the fight over who gets the middle spot in a three man daisy chain.

sure he does: it was when the imperialist American aggressors, led by noted right wing gun nut Charleyon Heston, attacked the peaceful Japanese persons of color trying to preserve their ancestral fishing lands.

History starts fresh every morning when a Liberal wakes up! The soviets used to have a joke phrase that they would say to each other, “The future is known, but the past is unknown!”
