      <![CDATA[86% -Wow.  They really ate up his dish. 
    And, if he had to run again today, with all the "racist overtones" and Reilly just simply saying no top a Mayor run amok for too long.....they would vote him in again and again. They would beg him to continue to support the torturer Burge, the collapsing CTA, the out of control budget that favors corruption, and all. 
    Who can stop him?

      <![CDATA[Perhaps that black woman you mentioned is doing her own spin.  I mean, she wipes out Bridgeport and anyone who has ever stepped foot there in one sentence.  Seems like she's playing the "well, it's not convenient for me" game.  Just as the machine spins, so too do the NIMBY'S.  I highly doubt that the segregation she spoke of in the South Loop is true, either.  In fact, I can tell you it's not.  I should know, my children are black.  
    
    Nighty-night.

      <![CDATA[I'm amazed at the depths to which even 'orion' will sink, the level of bullshit is astounding.
    
    Did 'orion' even read the article?
    
    It seems unlikely, as, would even the likes of 'orion' be dumb enough to accuse a black woman of not wanting black children visiting her neighborhood?
    
    Shit, 'orion', this woman HAS children.
    
    This woman moved to this neighborhood precisely to get away from the effectively segregated area where Daley lives.
    
    This woman states plainly that she doesn't want Daley to do what Daley wants to do.
    
    How fucking difficult is it to read the article and understand the meaning of the words?
    
    Maybe the truth is that the orion's of this town are the ones who don't want 'them' moving into 'their' neighborhoods.
    
    Whoever 'them' and 'their' may be. 
    
    
    "Propaganda is alive and thriving in Chicago.
    
    The spin machines are running night and day, day and night, 24/7/52, coating the many lies with paper-thin layers of truths.
    
    Hard-working manipulators labor incessantly to keep the machine running smoothly, making heroic efforts to carefully assemble each component of the gigantic deception enterprise we've come to know and despise, aka, our city government.
    
    The fuel this machine runs on, taxpayer dollars, is steadily flowing, like the Mississippi River flows into the Gulf, seemingly unstoppable, relentless, a flow one thinks one can depend upon, a force of nature.
    
    Then, the unthinkable happens.
    
    Daley speaks.
    
    Daley spouts.
    
    Daley fucks up that finely tuned and crafted bullshit machine, throwing it so far out of balance that those hard-working liars who strive daily to maintain it's balance are put to the test.
    
    Can they repair the damage in time, to keep the now dangerously unbalanced money-making engine from destroying itself?
    
    Can they do anything to save this machine from tearing itself apart?
    
    Can they, somehow, get Daley to shut-the-fuck-up?
    
    Can anyone?"

      <![CDATA[Why is Daley expressing this much ire over something as inconsequential as the location of the Children's Museum?  Chicago has a $217mm budget shortfall, a collapsing CTA, and a high murder rate and Daley picked this issue to blow his stack.  If Daley cared about race he would sit for a police torture deposition as he promised before the election.
    
    This is about control.  Daley is irate that an alderman, and a freshman no less, would have the audacity to defy him.  Daley knows he must defeat Reilly or other aldermen might find their spines.  Daley made an ass of himself last week as he is pulling out all the stops to keep his aldermen tethered.

      <![CDATA[What, Ben must be slipping.  Nary a word about TIFs in this diatribe.
    
    These women he are talking about are like the "Bogan Broads" of the 60's, the women who waited outside of Bogan High School on the Southwest Side of Chicago to hurl racial ephithets at the black kids who were bused in as a part of court ordered desegregation.
    
    Flash forward to 2007 - the language is not so coarse and the tenor is more sophisticated, yet the message is still the same.  The folks in the Randolph high rises to not want "them" to come into "their" private park, playground, tennis courts, ice rink and field house.
    
    The rubbish about free, open and forever clear is a smoke screen.  If they meant that, they should tear down the existing field house, tennis courts, playground equipment and ice rink and plant a lawn  if they are going to strictly construe Montgomery Ward's words.
    
    Otherwise, they are doing a George Wallace job of standing in the schoolhouse door.
