The New Curmudgeon

I was really surprised and impressed. The guy is an immature adult-sized child, but that aside this album is really good. It's got a feel to it somewhat like Jay Z's American Gangster soundtrack; you ...

I'm sorry, but rules are rules. I admire him for wanting to return to Chicago and run for mayor, for raising his children and family here, but the bottom line is that it's pretty easy to see he is not...

One more thing: People don't realize that they are not comparing the statistics for the year to date...Jan-Nov. They compare from a certain time frame: Nov 2008, Nov 2009, Nov 2010. That way they can...

Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. These are exactly the kind of claims that can be made when violent crime "incidents" are grouped together and a shooting of four people is measured as one "incident." ...

Just execute her and save the time and money that a trial will take. The end....

Last night while waiting downtown for the Red Line, a guy asked me to sign a petition to put Rahm Emanuel on the ballot in Chicago while telling me "you wouldn't be endorsing him in any way" when I s...

I hate to think this way, but how many weeks do you think it will be before some form of retribution is directed towards this woman? Seems like getting shot will be less of a lesson in consequence, an...

Who cares about Chick-Fil-Salt... Where is the Sonic we were promised? WHERE IS IT!!!!!!!...

His "legacy" is that he's leaving an awfully big hole for someone else to dig out of. It's going to take a special candidate to fix what's broken in this city and it won't happen quickly. God willing,...

For a second there I thought the band's name was "Crocodiles Head Here To Fight Alligators." I was about to completely smash something....

So I wonder how soon we'll hear him talking about how he wants the job of governor back, because he was "ripped from the position" (or something like that) while knowing full well the recordings showe...

Well deserved Crisp! The place is literally a half block from my house and I have to force myself to only eat there once every couple of months. Their chicken is f'ing delicious....
