Re: “Pissed Off”
Mr. Radoy,
I commend you on your calm, persistent manner in the budget hearing in the face of Daley's disdainful, rude behavior. I doubt many people would have kept their composure as you did. The level of class and intelligence possessed by you and Daley was on full display in that hearing. Keep at it and maybe the Daley administration will be forced to start caring about areas the tourists do not visit.
Re: “Frustrated in Washington Park”
Washington Park only mattered when Daley wanted the Olympics. If that sinkhole were on Daley's South Loop street or in Bridgeport and it would be fixed within an hour.

Oreo, is that you? Calling Daley Mayor Dumb Dumb? Have you finally seen the light?

"All applicants must pledge 100% obedience to Mayor Richard M. Daley. Additionally all applicants must be willing to submit completely to the authority of Ald. Burke on the Council floor."
Re: “Scattered and Not-So-Scattered Thoughts on the Elections”
So, Yellow Dog, Alexi's personable (like any bar drunk), extremely disciplined (read: avoids answering tough questions) and is programmed to deliver a good message. That's an extremely low bar to clear. And if those weak bullet points were originally yours then Happy (oreo) has no qualms about stealing them as he has difficulty formulating original thoughts.
And oreo: "A further study of the vote totals reflect that Cheryl (sic) Jackson did exceedingly well in African American wards in the City." Well, duh!
What are Alexis qualifications? He worked in Daddy's bank, bringing it to its knees with bad loans, as well as freely loaning to mobsters. He was Obama's basketball buddy and picked up his cadence of speech on the way. Then the Boy Blunder somehow became treasurer and his most notable achievement was badly mismanaging Bright Start. Even Obama, Axelrod, and Rahm know Alexi is an empty suit so they begged Lisa Madigan to run. That's one hell of an unimpressive resume.
Chicagoans (outside of those gorging at the patronage trough) are sick of Daley and Hoffman would be the one to deliver the message of the Dirty Little King's gross mismanagement, incompetence, and corruption. Hoffman would carve Daley to pieces. He had just five months in the Senate campaign and no backing from the Democratic establishment, and still put a scare into Alexi.
Re: “Scattered and Not-So-Scattered Thoughts on the Elections”
Dear Happy (oreo): Do you have anything else to do besides copy/paste your incoherent rant on every Chicago message board? Find something more productive to do with your time, sport.
I'm terribly sorry Hoffman offended you and other Daley bootlickers by daring to stand up to the Dirty Little King. For someone who got into the race late he did extremely well. Sorry to tell you this, oreo, but Hoffman built a sound foundation in this campaign and he will be around for a while. He certainly would have been a much better candidate than the empty suit Giannoulias, especially as the Broadway saga continues to unfold.
Re: “Frustrated in Washington Park”
Welcome back, Oreo. I see you haven't become any brighter or classier in your time away.
