Fine Lines

"It's sickening. Short of Roland Burris resigning or resolving this issue — if he can, and I don't know if he can — I don't know what will stop it. I'm tired of this Blagojevich burlesque that's been going on for so long. The people of our state should be spared this." -- U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin

“We’re going to grow the system until we eventually cover one end of the city to the other." Mayor Daley on the new 911 camera/dispatch linking.

"John Gibson never compared Eric Holder to a monkey with a bright blue scrotum." The Huffington Post's Alex Leo on a hoax video that HuffPo fell for.

"Perhaps they're afraid. I don't think anyone is afraid to ask Todd Stroger a tough question. And Daley is a bully; his own staff is afraid of him." Beachwood Reporter/NBC 5's Steve Rhodes to the Trib's John Kass on potential racial bias in media coverage of scandals.

I was reading about the surveillance cameras on the Sun Times site after I saw it on Drudge Report.

Just when you think we've reached the highest, highest levels of ludicrousness in Chicago for one thing or another, something eclipses that. To think that money will be WASTED - flat out wasted - by installing more of these cameras in safe parts of town where they will do nothing is just irresponsible and laughable.

We don't need cameras, we don't need SUVs - we need MANPOWER, plain and simple. More officers patrolling, more officers able to respond to problems, more officers able to target high-crime areas. I'm not telling any of you anything you don't already know, but geez this city is just becoming a complete joke.
