Enjoy this City of Chicago Chicago soap opera. Taxpayers vote for Daley, Daley hires fools and misfits, people go on paid leave for months, more pending lawsuits, Chicago Law Department drags the fight on for years, Taxpayers pay millions in settlements, Chicago goes broke, taxes go up, and Taxpayers vote for Daley. Enjoy the story below. I got some details wrong a couple of weeks ago, this happened next to the Chicago Department of Water Management on Pershing near Ashland. Patrick McDonough

Mayor Daley was a proud passenger on these new “Green” CTA buses. Daley said they are very roomy and solves all the looming problems Daley has caused by spending Chicago Mass Transportation money on consulting and phony contracts. Do not worry about pollution on these new fancy buses. If you spit, hang your head over the bus and spit on the street. If you like eating nuts, throw the shells over the side. The new CTA buses will be easy to clean. It is very cold on these buses during winter, but they are very fuel efficient. Mayor Daley is very short and told everyone this is as roomy as his big gas guzzling Lincoln. Are you glad you voted for Mayor “Lil Richard” and John Daley? Photo by Patrick McDonough.

Please enjoy a picture of 9th Ward Alderman Anthony Beale. Today’s Parade was very classy. I thought the walk would never end. The 9th Ward Back to School Parade was from 125th & Michigan to 111th & King in the Chicago’s South Side. The entertainment was excellent and the event was fun. I think this young man pictured with Alderman Beale is his son. Please visit the 9th Ward website, click here: http://www.ward09.com/site/epage/5093_292.htm Photo by Patrick McDonough.
