Pilling on where I left off with Dutch's post. Here are some more one-liners regarding Chicago, and what generations of straight-ticket party-line parrots will get you:

Sun Times: Sewer company linked to Daley's son closes with more than 2 years left on multimillion-dollar city deal

And if that story doesn't sound familiar:
NYT: Top City Officials Arrested in Chicago Hiring Fraud

And this, too:
Chicago Tribune: Inside Daley's machine
But you know, at least Daley deals in clout.

Where as Bag-O-Chips deals in actual cash:
Rezko trial spotlights Blagojevich, not Obama

This is low-hanging fruit that I cannot resist:
Real Clear Politics: Chicago's Misfire on Gun Violence
Chicago's annual murder rate maybe in decline, but it is still three times that of NY, in terms of population. But whatever, gun legislation does not fix social dysfunction. Ever. But we talked about that already.

Suffredin Unveils Ordinance to Reign in Gun Shops
Yeah, you know what we need? More space between the gun shops. If only they were ten miles apart and not near any schools kids would stop using their open periods to upgrade their personal arsenals. Gimme a fucking break.
