Put Down Your Nanowrimo And Leave The House
Cook County officials have decided to shelve a publication that would have less readers than our grandma's blog, Cook County Magazine. Why? Do they want to deny us a peek into the great mind of our elite county leader, Todd Stroger, or the "mouthwatering" recipe for orange crab salad? Is it because the county spent nearly $25,000 to launch the magazine, and were only able to sell three ads for the inaugural issue? No, it's because -- as with most things coming out of Stroger's office -- there was a bit of a quality control issue. One of the vast minions of Stroger spokespeople Eugene Mullins said the magazine is riddled with spelling and grammatical errors, and the 5,000 issues printed are going straight into the garbage.
"I was asked to review it and decided not to distribute it -- not because of content, but errors and omissions in the article" about John Stroger, Mullins said. "Judging on grammatical stuff -- something misspelled or that's not a complete sentence -- falls back on the president. And this is a Cook County magazine. I have to find a way to get rid of them. I'm not distributing them."
Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments for how Mullins should "get rid of them". [S-T]

Why does this not surprise me in the least bit? Sure would be fun to see one though. If someone scores a copy please forward it to me when you are done!
wtf do they expect from government workers? what a waste.
i propose a gigantic papier-mache statue of Tony Peraica.
i love the fact that stroger and his moronic staff are too incompetent to publish a magazine designed to create the illusion that they aren't incompetent. that is too fucking hilarious. at least daley puts smart people around him. the people around stroger are just as dumb as he is
In all seriousness, why not distribute to city schools along with red pens and let the kids get a valuable learning experience out of it?
Sorry magilla, but the people around The Toddler are even dumber than The Toddler.
He could never hire anyone smarter than him, not only would it be embarrassing, but because he's a moron, he can't recognize talented people, only those that suck up to the Stroger name are honored with a make work job that we, the put upon taxpayers then have to pay for.
Pinatas. With money in them. That way, Toddler and his playpen friends can feel like they are doing something to get that money.
