I know some people have a really strong attachment to this thing, but with 300K you could support dozens of school art programs, fund after school programs and support local arts and culture in genera...

So now instead of running a profitable ad for a product only adults can purchase anyway the CTA is going to spend an ungodly sum on lawyers to defend a ridiculous over-reaction? And quite possibly los...

Sparky nailed it in one. Ceasefire's funding was signifcantly less than this 150 million figure. 150 million coming when the state is essentially broke? This is smokescreen. The over/under on the Gov...

What always makes me laugh are the parents wringing their hands and losing their minds over issues like this would be much better served spending time with their children. Kids who have happy home liv...

It's a real shame that in a city with such a rich and deep tradition of radio and TV we can't get a building built to house a museum. Then again, they did select a ridiculous site. Like the Children'...

Didn't even read your replies. You're both little more than spambots. But at least spambots are selling something that might be worth buying....

Spav, Spook: Do the two of you have any idea what you're talking about? No. Rather than contribute anything of substance you just spray bombast while jumping up and down yelling "ME ME ME! I I I!...

Estrogen + a horsey dying = bad combination. That's a might silly, especially coming from a female writer. How horse-racing is any better than dog-fighting or cock-fighting I simply don't know. They...

@Spook: "People that ride bikes help the environment. I wish we lived in a country that respected them more. But again our car culture is connected to our materialistic shallow egos." I ride my bike...

@rigoberto I tend to bike on less-trafficked streets when I can. The accidents in Logan Square are, sadly, not very surprising as that's a very high traffic area with a great deal of traffic flow iss...

The government of Illinois would be very funny, with the governor as a bungling criminal and the legislature that gives itself pay raises but won't let us recall them. It would be very funny. If i...

I think this is a really important study. It's too easy to just write off dog-fighting participants as savages. The over-heated rhetoric, driven by well-meaning dog owners, isn't helping stop dog-figh...

The Cell is a modern Ballpark. I've heard Cubs fans go on and on about the nostalgia of Wrigley. That's all well and good, but it's a functional space, not a museum. Having troughs to pee in is arch...

CLEAR is a priority access service you can pay for to get through airport security in some airports. You have to be cleared ahead of time by the firm, but it reduces wait time to pretty much nothing. ...

You're all going to be eating your words when, at the climax of a long and dramatic trial, Abbate's lawyer reveals that the honest, thrifty and brave officer has...dun dun DUN...An Evil Twin! Yes, An...

Mike, Mike, Mike. It was a joke. Do they have them at Wrigley? Crusading? Dude, I've posted like 4 times on the topic. Not exactly a burning crusade across the ages. I think you Cubs fans need a go...

Mike, you just won me a diet coke. I bet the woman in the next office that you'd be the first reply. I don't hate anyone or anything. I just like giving the blueboys a little needling is all. Come on...

With his dignity and eloquent grace Mark Cuban is the perfect person to lead the cubs into their next century of misery, ignominy and failure. All while reaping a tidy profit. I endorse this....

If you are relying on Oprah for anything even resembling "truth" I'm sure that being cheated on a memoir is the least of your problems. This is the woman who inflicted Phil on us. I will not call tha...

Temper, Temper. You sound very defensive there Reverand Slappy. Whining? No. I think it's funny actually. How the Cubs can field losing teams year after year, decade after decade, century after centu...
