Chicago is the center of politics
hahaha suckers, This is my first what have you and it's about how awesome my city is. Ha. That's right Chicago isn't only the best baseball city (and football) but it's the politics capitol of the free world. Come visit, don't visit, internet search it, whatever you got to do. I'm in the center of awesomeness and there's nothing you can do about it. By the by, i've been drinking, so what. I'll respond when i wake up. Oh, ps. hold on. a sec. todd harris is a piece of shit.

2. You know, sometimes you gotta get away from the cesspool...
that is WAshington D.C., and start anew in a fresh place.

Not that chicago doesn't have its own political swamp,
I'm just sayin'...

but to move the national arena to the midwest, away from the
ingrown east coast cities of money, power and influence,
and into a city of poverty, corruption, and influence peddling
well... its only gonna get better.

Chicago, You know I love you; spent almost 30 years there
until I moved to the east coast... seen it all.

But its' only good news for the folks who live there.

3. I'm in a Chicago suburb
Hey, remember that storm a few nights back? Kass (usually a rightwing asshole) has a story in the Tribune about one of Daley's cronies getting a generator delivered to his home on the taxpayer's dime because of the power outages.

Chicago is also home to some of the most crooked politicians in history. Daley is so kneedeep in the shit that he will never get the stink off him. When I voted for Governor in the last election, I only voted for Blago because I wanted a Dem to appoint Obama's successor. You could have flipped a coin to figure out which candidate in that election would end up getting indicted faster.

Hell, the only difference between Republicans and Democrats here, for the most part, is where in the state they are from!

Because NY will always be better.
