Todd Stroger will be viewed as a hack in '07. I thought he was in '06, '05, .........so on and so forth.

Daleyawn.....79%

I don't like the Bears or White Sox prediction.

Ex-Gov. George Ryan, well it's looking that way, he's been seen all over town wining and dining, and in Sky Boxs at all the Sports games.

As far as another skyrise, if Cortez Trotter feels its a terrorist threat it's done, as you recall Cortez Trotter felt the Meigs Field was a possible terrorist situation etc. He did not like all the planes, (small ones) flying in and out so close to downtown, because he could not keep track of all of them and keep the city safe. But when Cortez Trotter talks, Daley listens.

Yes the city council lead by Alderman Ed Burke will ban trans fats.

Major indictments against Blagojevich? Well people really like Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, and that is why they voded for Rod Blagojevich, because they voted for Pat Quinn.

Elvira Arellano who illegally entered this country broke law after law, Social Fraud, ID fraud etc. and was deported came back broke all the same laws, where do you draw the line on sympathy? Is it OK to keep breaking laws again and again? Now she wants to do things legally after she was caught breaking laws again?

Capture Osama Bid Laden?? Never, there are too many who worship him and will not take the 25 million dollar reward because he is their Saviour. These people will do anything to protect this guy, too many loyal followers, and Bush is making Osama more and more popular.

"Todd Stroger will be viewed as a hack in '07. I thought he was in '06, '05, .........so on and so forth."
