Olympic Spin
- Members of the International Olympic Committee are pulling no punches Saturday night – they're calling the World Boxing Championships in Chicago, 'the best ever.'
"best ever."
That's the typical spin the President of the International Olympics Committee puts on his closing speech for each and every Olympics (except for Atlanta, where the IOC President pointedly skipped that compliment in light of the bombing).
We're still a year and a half from any type of announcement and already, the "best ever" moniker is being tossed about for an event that probably drew a few thousand less than a single Bears home game.
Get the shovels out.

I wonder if the committee will ever be told/find out about the 3 missing boxers who defected and the 1 caught for shoplifting...
I heard the car wasn't even going to write paper for the missings but later went back "just in case."
I told you the fix isIin!!!!!!!!! Remember this site I TOLD YOU TWO YEARS AGO THE OLMPICCS WERE COMING IN 2009 FOR THE OLYMPICS COMING TO CHICAGO IN 2016 ****** my code is #!#! I"M a young person on this dept and I"M sure they ( the powers that be dont want me on the wall but I am on the wall)_ Tom ruise and jack Nicholson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rember I'LL alwauys have the inside scoope for the next 4 years!!! I Have Connections!!!!!!!!
Love , Da Mayor
I wonder how much "gratuity" went under the table on this one.
The fix is in. They were bribed with Deep Dish Pizza and Chicago Style Hot Dogs.
WoW The Clout extends to the Olympics too! So I thinkx dat the Mayor is just going through da motions on dis thing so he can grab some land along the lake for Walsh Construction Co.
YAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWN... Double YAWWWWWWWWWWWWN. Who cares if we get the games or not. What difference does it make to anything?

They already ahve 4 new jets and 2 new helicopters how much more do they need? But then again when they steal "our money" it is all ok,watch the rest of the daley "criminal enterprise" become billionaires also! When will it end? When they take every cent from us,and we lose our homes and chicago becomes detroit!
The mayor can build his casino in 9 years.The olympians will need to unwind and officials can loose some of their bribe money.
Clout, bribes and the fix have always been part of the Olympic ideal. Other cities like holier than thou, Mormon dominated Salt Lake City have dropped money, so why not the capital of the fix, Chicago.
I agree with 8:37. Who really cares if we get the olympics. How will this benefit me or us? Bottom Line here- It wont. Those who will reap the benefits will be those who are connected. Us regular working types will not benefit one bit.
WHOS gonna make money here?
Hotels
Resturaunts
Taxis
Airlines
Airports
City(tax revenue from the above)
Daley's Law Firm
The big contractors
The bond issue that will have to be floated here will take a lot of years to pay-off. It took Atlanta 11 years to retire the public debt associated with their Olympics in 1996.
A majority of Atlanta's Olympic venues were held in Atlanta proper a city that is 70% black.(according to an article in the NYTimes http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CEED9143CF93AA25751C1A965958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=print) So you can extrapulate here that using Atlanta as an example you can see why daley is thinking about using the south-side for alot of the Olympic venues. After reading this article i see that everyone had a finger in the olympic pie. Looked like alot of money from private sources was used.
PO's can expect district manpower to be about the same as a St. Judes Sunday everyday for the weeks prior to and weeks after. I also expect that our FOP to concede lots of things for the contract year of 2016. Buckle up boys and girls 2016 just may happen.
Was detailed today to the boxing detail. Sat on Columbus for 8 hours watching DVDs and didnt see 1 boxer. What a waste of manpower. We were there on paper, but didnt do shit. I couldnt even answer the question "officer, where can I park?" Im sure the brain trust at 35th thought "gee...lets get a bunch of guys down there, if something happens, we can say WE WERE THERE!" what a joke. a bunch of fucking idiots. Classic case of too many chiefs, not enough indians. How many man hours are wasted on shit like this? How many crimes happened in districts while cops sat idle on Columbus watching DVSs??? Fucking joke.
Mounted Off. Erin Garrett will be competing for the USA in equestrian events at the Olympics in Beijing next summer.
Ride that horsie, cowgirl!
