Only in Chicago
- More homes in Chicago soon could recycle with bins instead of blue bags, as Mayor Richard Daley's administration considers expanding a successful pilot program beyond the Beverly neighborhood.
Daley has bristled at criticism of the troubled blue bag program. But the alternative approach now used in the 19th Ward could be offered in other sections of the city this year
A program (Blue Bags) that has been a failure of monumental proportions is on the verge of being replaced with an additional boondoggle that even the mayor admits is going to cost maybe TRIPLE. And to cover part of the cost, the mayor is proposing to sell the three major sorting centers (the subject of a media expose in that they didn't actually SORT something like 85% of the garbage).
What will the mayor sell next? And after he's finished selling everything he can to solve his short term problems, guess what happens to taxes? You think it's unaffordable to live here now?

The Mayor fancies himself as a leader; he is not smart enough to recognize his incompetence.
Hey northside, put a blue bag over your head, do the world some good, also give one to tyrone
I used to use the blue bin. On a couple of occasions I saw garbage pickers getting the cans and glass I put aside and off they went.
On the one hand, they were looking for money and good for them. On the other hand, what about the recycling efforts towards the city?
Does it matter who picks the garbage, as long in the long run it's recycled?
BLUE BAGS? ARE THEY THE SAME AS BLUE BALLS????????
no, blue balls is what u always have
Mayor daley should do us all a favor and jump in a blue bag.
Yea spend triple do take on a new idiotical mayor daley idea. Thats ok says mayor daley, I wl just fuck over the city workers on their next contract to pay for it.
Tell every Senior Citizen what you think of Mayor Daley. The still think that our Mayor Daley is like his father. They have no idea what kind of shit Mayor Daley is slinging. Tell everybody what a sloppy piece of shit he is.
s.o.s car crash in the 008th district tonight p.o.s hurt both went to the hospital. not one other s.o.s. car on scene...what a joke of a unit!
The black man can't even dump his trash in a garbage can. How many of these inner city houses have their garbage piled un either inside or just out the back door.
I can see it now....
Ok, Used Crack pipes in the red bin, little zip lock plastic bags in the blue bins, little bottles of grain alcohol in the green bins and this big nasty juice covered dildo in the black bin.
we're recycling in the 19th Ward?
Hey 19th Ward!
Why don't you re-cycle some of the politicos over-by-dare.
19th Ward:
did your precint capt. tell you to say that?
Only in Chicago,
a new Blues Tune
We will get Blue Bins,
soon as the right campaign
contribution come in from the right man.
And, we keep using those old blue Bags,
just now we will have to put them in the Blue Bins.
They'll get picked up on Blue Mondays,
by the Blue Trucks,
on the Blue Line
under Daley's new Blue Laws.
I got those Mayor Daley should turn Blue Blues.
That's because the entire unit was at two different promotional parties last night. They had two cars up in the entire city. You should be so lucky as to have your entire unit show up for your promotion.
Who got promoted?
I hope the sos guys are not injured.....but we have always had too many cowboys flying through intersections and such leading to terrible accidents
Anyone have the Lieutenants list?
We hear the sergeant’s union president is on it…
Just want to give a "atta boy" to the Cook County State's Atty Office for fvcking off a good case. Without you guys, vicitms wouldn't be nearly as under-served.
I have a thought, citizens should stop calling 911 when they get victimized. They should begin calling the SA's office first. An ASA can make a decision about what happened and then IF charges apply, the ASA could call 911.
That would keep this 'City that Works' running alot smoother.
Could we get a seperate thread for the promotion stuff.
Back on the blue bag dibacle.
The reason for the blue bags was that you could dump everything into the same truck and it would be sorted at the seperation plant.
If we go to blue bins I'd bet my first pension check that Daley will get a Hired Truck Scandal firm to do the picking up of the recycle trash. If the teamsters in Streets and San protest, he will sell off their trucks and all garbage pick-up will be hired trucks. And, of course, we will get a new tax bill.
Maybe we should mail our trash to Richie's home address.
The city's going with Chevy Tahoes. Which means no more chases! But as all acounts show cops are terrible drivers. They are worse than cab drivers.
ON A SIDE NOTE - - - -
Just found this out:
Al O'Connor is up for the Lambert Tree award - his mother is a Gilhooly (maiden name)
Thanks to the smarta$$ who sent out the email
President Bush is being critized for the Iraq war, Katrina and everything else the liberal media and democrats can think of; Gov. Ryan convicted of many counts of corruption; Daley should be charged by the Feds for all the scandals and corruption under his watch. Go Fitz Go!!!
How could it be possible that Daley didn't know about this corruption is beyond comprehension.
12:56:40....You were up late last night BOSS......Hope you were on time this AM......Or are you going to a "meeting"......
BLUE BLOGS SUCK
Is the detectives list out yet, anyone????
say what were the Command changes? i heard there were some, i was just a little curious to see who sold their soul to the devil.
Almost 50% of the Skyway money was used to payoff the Bond holders. Of the remaining money, Daley has spent almost one third of it last year to adjust the city budget and another one third will be spent this year for the same budget.
That leaves us with one/sixth of the original money to last the next 97/96 years. You do the math.
Within the next 24 to 36 months this city will be broke again.
You'll see waste management buy the garbage trucks and charge us direct. The water dept. will be sold and they will charge you direct. Need you street cleaned? Get ready to pay up.
Can the Police & Fire dept's be far away. They could be easily sold to some corporation.
Have you ever called 411 (info) and get charged 1.50 a call, dial 911 and pay 2.00 per call. Need a car to come by your house, oops, service charge of 65.00, reports are extra.
But we still have enough money to pay for 50 aldermen and their staffs.
Daley will go down in history as the Mayor who broke Chicago's back. Every thing will have a user fee attached.
Soon their will be fences around all the parks (the daley fences of course). Want your kid to go in, pay up chump. (Disney does it).
Want to go to the lakefront, oops, entrance fee to get in the sand and water.
Air and water show, fireworks show, have your wallet ready.
O.K. I'm drinking way too much coolaid. But if it's for sale, he's thinking about it, and you should to!
Cut the city down to just 25 wards. Each ward will be the same as a district. Other cities have far less aldercreatures. So why not here? CUT THE GLUT! TRIM OUT THE GOVERNMENT WASTE! P.S. Why are city crossing guards working at private schools? Have those priests out there with their nun helpers!

Sounds like a GREAT IDEA! now maybe their parents can be exempt from paying taxes that provide for public schools
HEY..LET RECYCLE ALL THE CHIP BAGS ON THE WEST SIDE...THE SHIT HEADS WOULD NOT USE A GARBAGE CAN IF THEY HAD TO;;;;SAVAGE JUST SAVAGES..
Why are city crossing guards working at private schools? Have those priests out there with their nun helpers!
-------------------------------------
The crossing gurads work for the police dept you idiot. The reason they are there is to help kids get across the street with out getting squashed. It's a public safety issue, not church/state.
Do you have a problem with traffic aides or crossing guards downtown? Most of the pedestrians downtown work in the private sector.
Sorry that your kids have to go to school with the 1s, gangbanger 4s, and Polish Slim Shadys, but why do kids that go to private school deserve less from the government?
finally, someone on our side...

Do not bring down the level of Hillbillies by saying they are the same as the Irish!
Hillbillies are at least 3 or 4 steps above the white trash in-breeding Irish clan.
You think Ernest T. BASS would let you call him an irish man? NO WAY!
Now OTIS "The Drunk" O'Brien was Irish, Just ask Sheriff Andy Taylor, he'll tell ya.
P.S. Canaryville consisted of the best the Irish had to offer our Country. Those Irish that were not good enough to live in Canaryville had to settle in Mount Greenwood.
Lay Off the Irish guys, they are just pissed off because they are blessed with the Irish "Small Dick" Curse. That's the only reason why their wives fuck others so much, just to get a good sized cock.
What does an Irish guy's dick smell like?
His sister's putnany!
An irish guy finds a Genie Bottle and gets one wish. The irish guy wishes for a 11 inch cock.
POOOOOOOF!!!!
He opened his eyes to find a black man with his 11 inches in his butthole!
He whispers to the Genie, THANK YOU!
What do you call an IRISH MAN who is too stupid to be able to perform a trade or construction job?
POLICE OFFICER
What’s the difference between Da Mayor and an onion?
You cry when you cut up an onion.
What is the difference between a Da Mayor and a tick?
A tick falls off when you die.
What do you call an Irish Turkeybird who has a 9 inch manmeat?
An Italian Adopted Child.
What do you call 100 irish families living in on community?
A mobile home park.
What do irish gals and black gals have in common?
Hairy assscracks and assholes.
Ireland is such a small Island that they have no choice about in-breeding. Happens all the time there. About 20 percent more than Kentucky.
My ancestry traces back to County Mayo during the potato famine.
The above attempts at insults against those of Irish ancestry is for naught.
We are so proud to have the Auld Sod in our blood.
Jealous? Can't blame ya a wee bit!
A flight attendant was stationed at the departure gate to check tickets.
As a man approached, she extended her hand for the ticket and he opened his trench coat and flashed at her.
Without missing a beat....she said, "Sir, I need to see your ticket not your stub."
HAPPY TGIF
OK, here's one for ya'll- NAUGHTY
There once was a whore on the dock
From dusk until dawn she sucked
c-ck
'Til one day it's said
She gave so much head
She exploded and whitewashed the block
There once was a man named Moran
A bad lover who drove a van
He'd take a girl home
Then leave her alone
Said he,"I'm in love with my hand!"
There once was a lady named Mable,
whose a$$ was as big as a table.
"Never you mind."
said a frind of mine.
She's ready, willing, and able.
JUST IN. THE CITY CAN MESS WITH THIS SIGN B.S. BUT THEY CANNOT TAINT THE AMV ALL-STARS!
CONGRATS TO THE GILHOOLY FAMILY:
Patrolman Al O'Connor is the All-Star for week eight.
The Votes Are In!
A first responder is never off duty. And our week 8 All-Star proves that fact. Patrolman Al O'Connor, of the Chicago Police Department, was nominated for his heroics while off-duty last March. O'Connor was driving to work when he came upon a shootout between a railroad officer and a suspect. O'Connor was just in the nick of time -- the railroad officer had already been hit three times and was losing blood. Patrolman O'Connor managed to get a shot off and fatally wounded the suspect. Then O'Connor got the badly injured railroad officer the help he needed -- no doubt saving his life. It's clear this patrolman is one man's hero -- and the public agreed, making him our last finalist.
There are 8 incredible All-Stars -- but only one will be the 2006 All-Star. Which one will it be? It's up to you -- so get the word out and cast your vote for the 2006 AMW All-Star now!
why cant you get a blow job in ireland.................................all the irish cock sucker are in america...ha ha

uncle taffy.
hahahahaha

CONGRATS to Al O'CONNOR 'and' ALL the other hero's. All of you exemplify that "Thin Blue Line" of our 'Nation's Finest!"
