Pure scum this guy is, and most Chicagoans know he's a piece of work that should be locked up and shot in a firing squad, domestic terrorist.
Daley's always defending this hunk of sh** around here and we're damn tired of it.
That well publicized Time photo of him standing on the American flag makes me wanna put a bullet in his head which I would never do, but it doesn't hurt to dream a little.
And I saw Tom Hayden's name at one of the links.
It just keeps getting better and better.
Chicagoray knows what clout is. It has a special meaning in that city. And Tom Hayden? I sometimes wonder if Tom and Hanoi Jane ever 'did it'. Pretty horrible thought, no?
Hanoi Jane is a terrible thought all by herself, queen of the liberal skanks.
This city is where the term came from as you say,and Big Daddy Daley was the King of Clout, so much he got Kennedy elected as most everyone knows.
I must say that to his credit, little Daley gets sh** done contrary to the perpetual gridlock found in most municipal and federal government since 98% are democrats here, not much room for dissent.
I always enjoyed Chicago. Never lived there, but visited often, starting in the 1950's. More than a few relatives live there. Nice, clean, well oiled old town. Lots of money flows through Chicago. The city government in nearby Omaha is like an imitation Chicago in many respects. A miniature Chicago would be preferable to an non-working imitation!
I spent a week in Chicago one night many years ago. Got thrown out of a topless joint - threw up in a taxicab - received a severe wood-shedding from a couple of Chicago's Finest - and nearly lost an arm in the revolving front door of the Palmer House.
I never went back ...
The last time I was in Chicago it was to see Turgut Özal at a U of Chicago event co-sponsored by the American Friends of Turkey. It was held at the old Knickerbocker hotel.
I never got to talk to Turgut, but I had a nice long chat in Turkish with one of his bodyguards in the bar. Willie Shoemaker was there, too. What a waste of money that trip was; my stuffy little room at the Knickerbocker was expensive!
Not good Uncle, sounds like you definitely had a bad stay. The cops here treat everyone like sh** so don't take it personally (lol but not funny that Chi cops have mroe than a few bad apples)
Old Willie Shoemaker, a name from the past. The Knickerbocker is a landmark but then again so is San Fran Freako,
So you Speak Turkish PTG?, that's quite impressive.I have enough trouble with English sometimes...:(
Hey Chicagoray. I worked the ramp at O'Hare in the early sixties for 15 months. Fast and furious compared to the cornfields I came from. Ozark recruited a lot of hillbillies and farm boys to load their old gooney birds. A great city for an 18 yr old to get his first look at the wider world.
Those days were indeed the good old days I've been told and actually experienced for a few years myself being born in '64 and living a mere 3 miles from O'hare in a Schaumburg apartment complex with my young struggling parents and newborn bro.
This complex was located within the real estate that later became the monstrous Woodfield Mall, and in that little 2 bedroom apartment we lived amongst a couple of great Chicago Cubs of those yester-years.
The unforgettable SS Don Kessinger and his younger teammate, southpaw pitcher Ken Holtzman were our direct next door neighbors, and I truly remember them quite well having gotten my little 4 year old fingers caught in the retracting headlights of Holtzman's yellow Corvette Stingray while messing around in the parking lot as a little troublemaking munchkin.
He personally extracted my hand from the headlight and carried me to our apartment respectfully demanding that my mom take me to the local hospital at his expense to be checked out for hidden injuries as he came along to foot the bill. What a guy. A truly unforgettable moment I've always remembered and cherished entirely in my memory bank of the lost America I miss and dearly loved.
Ya think Alan Iverson, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds or any other selfish athlete of today would have reacted in the same fashion? Is Barack Hussein "just anutha regula brutha"?
Answer to both is a damn loud "I think not officer .....lol".
During those years at that apartment complex I also remember my parents remarking that both stars were obviously quite modestly paid (living in the same apartments as we, my dad a campbells soup salesman at 22 with a fresh degree from Notre Dame) as most all pro ballplayers in the NFL, NHL and MLB were in those days and earlier. Playing mostly for the love of the game...
Sorry for the lengthy off topic story, just remembering the fond days of a south of the border illegal immigrant free Chicagoland in it's innocent and pure farm like infancy that you recollected Dadgum....
PS and by the way, a quick joke ... There's a car with a Mexican, Puerto Rican, and African American riding down the road...Who's Driving?
The local police department.....
