Police chief worries about mass retirement of officers -- chicagotribune.com


Well they should be worried. Even as I write this, there are douche-bags on the next block of Parkside selling dope, right down the alley of a police department district. The ultimate kicker, is that these dopes stand right in the alley, looking for when the police go about their daily patrols.

When they see a patrol car, or an unmarked, they run like roaches when the lights come on. My first thought, was can you be any stupider? Yet these dummies do this everyday, and night. In this age of "Big brother Watching" with cameras posted nearly on every major intersection, these clowns take it upon themselves to risk jail time, selling garbage just down the street from a police department.

Times must really be bad, if you have to go to such lengths. So worry away Superintendent, maybe one day our Mayor will stop wasting taxpayer money on his little frivolous pet projects, and finally shift the money where it is truly needed. But I guess we (the voters) must get a new mayor first.

Naperville businessman charged with bribing 'city agent' :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Politics


I guess I can file this story under the infamous WTF banner.


This is the alderman from, and supposed too, represent the Austin district, yet why on earth would he seek a seat on the "Aviation Committee"? Oh damn that's right, more pension money right? You can bet he's on there to prevent planes from flying over Austin residents homes, or apartments, shaking them into oblivion right? And besides, Austin is like 15 miles away from O'Hare Airport, give or take.

This "Naperville businessman" has to be ranked as one of the dumbest "alleged" criminals around. Seeking out an alderman that doesn't even live near the airport, should have been a heads up, especially if your looking to get a "deal" on location spots for "restaurants".

And besides, who in their right mind would want to eat near an airport with all that jet fuel soaked into their food?

WTF dummy?

I take it they couldn't stand the price increases at the local liquor stores, and took matters into their own hands.

There's nothing wrong with preventing crime, but in this situation, calling the police first, is the best scenario as opposed to becoming a vigilante. The examiner's employee, according to reports didn't live in the building, but observed these individuals in the lobby.

Instead of alerting police of suspicious activity, this person takes it upon his-self to investigate, and inquire of the nature of the suspect's business in the building. Not a very bright move considering our Mayor has a handgun ban for law-abiding citizens. Yet criminals have access to guns, at the drop of a hat.

I guess my point about this unfortunate incident is simple. Call the police if you see any suspicious behavior. Never take matters into your own hands. After all, it's the criminals that have the guns, we don't.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds this Mayor a bit odd. I say it's time for fresh, young, in-tune with the times leadership.

The hits just keep on rolling, don't they? If you are pulling in 80 grand a year, part-time, but make more money with companies doing work for the government, would it not be nice, or fair to just only take a 1 dollar per year salary from department of the city you work for?

Here's another question. Does this individual receive a pension along with that part-time city job? Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with making money. But a little common sense has some role here.

Mr. Mayor, this has been going on for over 10 years, and yet you fail to address this salary for part-time work in your budget slashing efforts. What is so wrong with asking this person to take a pay cut, when you knew what he was pulling in from his companies? Instead you hit the workers of this city that do "Real Work". How many others are there that have a similar "hook-ups" Mr. Mayor? Yet here you are getting "pissed" at State legislatures for giving seniors a "free-ride".

Talk about a "free-ride" WTF

Lawmakers' failure to end free rides angers Daley :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Transportation


This article just speaks of hilarity in the future for King Daley. When this guy is voted out of office, and burns through his ill-gotten pension, he'll be the first screaming for a "free-ride". I take it he is still setting his biological clock back too when he was still 20 years old.

Newsflash Mayor, you are not a young man anymore, and your days of possibly riding a bus, may soon become a reality. Why do you hate seniors so much Mr. Mayor? Hell it if wasn't for seniors, you would not be here. They have paid their dues buddy, so cut them some slack. And by the way, what do you, and the honchos at CTA, and RTA do with all that money you get from advertising on those buses and trains?

Stop picking on seniors. They are the ones that busted their behinds, so their children would not have to go through the crap you are trying to pull. How much money do you need Mr. Mayor? Wasn't the rape job on the property taxes enough? The selling of the Skyway? The selling of Parking Meters? It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle Mr. Mayor, than for a rich man to gain entry into heaven. Haven't you learned anything? Or is seeing it happen, is what will wake you up?

Getting mad at lawmakers because they know what's right is really petty Mr. Mayor. Well sometimes they know what's right.
