On May 6, 2008 1:36 PM in Here Comes the New Spindle, Same As the Old Spindle, they said:

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...

On May 6, 2008 1:03 PM in GTA Suing CTA Over Speech, Contract, they said:

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...

On May 6, 2008 1:00 PM in Blago's $150 Million Plan To End Youth Violence, they said:

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...

On May 6, 2008 12:11 PM in Pocket Shots + Prom Season = Nervous Parents, Media Frenzy, they said:

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...

On May 6, 2008 9:49 AM in MBC Still Not Ready for Primetime, they said:

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'...

On May 6, 2008 9:39 AM in CeaseFire: Treating Violence Like An Epidemic, they said:

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....

On May 5, 2008 4:34 PM in CeaseFire: Treating Violence Like An Epidemic, they said:

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!...

On May 5, 2008 3:01 PM in Eight Belles' Death Brings Controversy, they said:

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...

On May 2, 2008 3:26 PM in Ask Chicagoist: Who Has Right-Of-Way?, they said:

@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...

On May 2, 2008 1:58 PM in Ask Chicagoist: Who Has Right-Of-Way?, they said:

@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...

On May 2, 2008 12:46 PM in House Votes To Investigate Blago's $1 Million Mistake, they said:

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...

On May 2, 2008 10:18 AM in New Study on the Causes of Urban Dogfighting, they said:

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...

On May 1, 2008 5:05 PM in Which Ballpark is Better?, they said:

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...

On May 1, 2008 3:41 PM in Sox Leave Their Cuban At Home, they said:

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. ...

On May 1, 2008 1:11 PM in Gag Order In Abbate Case?, they said:

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...
