Daley is an Ass

As pointed out in the comment section, a few protesters stage a sit-in at Daley's office and he calls off plans to shut 4 mental health clinics:
  • Mayor Daley said Tuesday he’s putting his $1.2 million plan to close four of Chicago's 12 mental health centers “on hold” until he gets to the bottom of a flawed billing system that triggered the cuts.

    One day after a noisy City Hall demonstration that included a brief sit-in at the mayor’s office, Daley gave at least some measure of hope to mental health advocates who want the clinics to remain open indefinitely.

    “We are looking into that. We take this seriously. We’re putting it on hold to find out some of the issues there,” Daley said.

But 3,600 people march around downtown for two hours and he's deaf as a post.

(sarcasm warning)

We guess our protests are too peaceful. Maybe for the next one we need to flip a few cars, invade Council chambers, and maybe tar-and-feather a few of the aldercreatures. Then we can build a scaffold and hang Daley in effigy.

Daley claims he never goes to the St. Jude parade to honor our fallen because he doesn't work on Sundays and spends it with family. Well this Sunday he worked all day showing the olympic committee around chicago. I guess he can find the time on Sunday if he feels it's important.

Yes Daley is an ass. However, I'm afraid we are set to get nothing but scraps with this contract.

The economy continues to tank. If we can't reach consensus with the city on new terms for our contract, we may not find sympathy with an arbitrator.

Today's headline in the Boston Globe announces that Mayor Thomas Menino is set to lay off over 500 city workers, public school teachers, and cops to plug a budget deficit.

Daley is crying poor. His argument will be "look..see all the Mayor's and their city's are struggling, the taxpayer's need relief,blah,blah,blah..and the policeman are greedy!"

There have been similar examples of layoffs around the country. Daley will argue "they should be happy to have jobs, people are being laid off, and losing their homes, blah,blah,blah..and the policeman are greedy!"

We have to keep up the pressure. Last thursday was great FOP, but we can't rest. We need to keep up the momentum, or we'll get screwed.

How often does CPD get screwed?

Daley!

I agree with the post that said the city will give you what it wants, when it wants to. Truth is the CPD is nothing more than a necessary evil to the mayor. If he could justify turning the CPD to a private company he would.
He knows that the members of the CPD are much too civilized to stage a real protest. That little march around the building was cute, but totally a waste. So the CPD in pissed off at the mayor. "Who Cares" there are much more important things to get done, before the 2016 games. Yes we will be getting them, and the CPD will handle the task.

Dear Mayor Daley:

About your being an ass, I have a question to ask you--can you name the mayor of Atlanta back in 1996? You know, the year they had the Olympics? Didn't think so. No one knows or cares. More folks remember Richard Jewell, the mope security guard falsely accused of setting off a small IED.

Anyway, my point is that even if the 2016 games come to Chicago, they will not be your legacy.

Your legacy will be numerous murder victims, high crime rates, lousy public services, high taxes, "X"ing out Miegs Field, hired trucks, meaningless gun control laws, selling off our city's future, and, in general, ruining the standard of living here while lining your pockets and those of your cronies. These, not the Olympics, are the games which will be your legacy.

Daley is an Ass

Like this is News!?!?

WE have known this for years, and this ASS keeps getting elected. Every time he runs for re-election, a black hater candidate runs. Then a second black vote-splitting candidate pops up and Shortshanks wins. Don't tell me that second candidate is NOT somehow put up by Daley minions under the table.

But the true measure of this Evil Little Man's Character came out some years ago in an interview in the Sun-Times when it ran a series in the Sunday editions where the readers would write in questions for famous people. The second in the series was Richard M. Daley. It was during contract negotiations and after the city council voted the mayor and themselves hefty raises.

One of the questions was, “How can the mayor get a 35% pay raise and the aldermen get a 30% pay raise and you only offer the firefighters and police officers a 2 ½ % pay raise.”

The mayor’s response, “I am the mayor of a great city and the aldermen are the legislators of a great city. I am very proud of the salary that I make. If this guy or anyone else doesn’t like what we are offering he can quit. We had 40,000 sign up
to take the firefighters test and he can be easily replaced.”

This is what we are up against, the mentality of that man with the mean little man.

IF you don't write tickets, he will just hire more security guards to write them for you. How will that help the situation? I really don't understand why the argument that the city is very undermanned and that this is dangerous for the citizens...and than give accurate numbers and if his budget really includes the full contingent of cops, that should be made public. This will resonate with the public more that the talk about money when their pockets are strapped and some of them are out of jobs. Complain about things that can directly affect the public.

Lick-A-Dick Daley strikes again. He always has an excuse for his actions being justified like a little child who does wrong, but claims the didn't and that it's someone elses fault.. iT'S always SOMEONE ELSES FAULT WITH HIM. He is supposed to be responsible for the Citys employees for sevral years in advance, as far as making the proper projections for allocating a reasonable pay raise for police, fire, teachers, Streets and San, etc; when he knows how long their contracts qare. This man-child takes advantage of the fact that we have a no-strike clause somewhere in our Contract. He never subjects the Teachers, Streets and San, etc; to this type of treatment, all for hhis own Greedy intentions. Why don't we just get an Arbitrator already, FOP? What's the sense of wasting any more time with this mental and physical midget? OR perhaps you are in cahoots with Mayor Shortshanks, as you never seem to do much until the rank and file are beathing down your necks, at their angriest, then you act a bit, and only enough to appease temporarily.. It was SCC, and the rank and file, who put together the Highly Successful Picketing, NOT FOP, they just jumped on the band-wagon like the fence-sitters that they are, after the frustration was so obvious. I wish we could get the FireFighters Union, and make it the Firefighter/Police Union, all in one. Time to put up or shut up FOP; your games are at end. We are watching and videoing.

I don't know if I'm the poster you're referring to but I did make a comment about Daley rescinding the closing of mental health clinics.

The mental health clinics in Chicago are a joke. The majority of their mentally ill clients don't take their medications or don't even show up for their appointments. If they do, it's only because their SSI "disability" (if you can call drug and alcohol dependence a disability) payments will be held up or they won't get their kids back. Then they go once or twice and you don't see them again for another six months until someone threatens to hold back on their money that comes from all of us---taxpayers. I was upset because I thought here are Chicago's finest, our police department, who serve and protects and Daley plays games with them but caves into pressure from a handful of people that sat outside his office.

Let me ask you, do you think the police would be allowed to have a sit in on the fifth floor? No, they wouldn't. Someone put them up to it and with Daley's blessing. It's all an act, orchestrated by the usual suspects and paid for by us. And yesterday, when I saw Father Pfleger sitting next to Daley in the bleachers, it all became very clear. The more I read this blog, the clearer it becomes.

That people do not vote and did not get out and vote yesterday make me sick. These lazy bastards who fill the ballot boxes are smarter than decent working class people who sit home on their ass complaining about who's in charge, because they know not to bite the hand that feeds them. God forbid they have to REALLY work for a living like the rest of the working stiffs. God forbid their phone call gets disconnected or they fall out of favor of the dick they suck day in and day out.

I watch it all from a distance and it is fucking sickening, human nature at it's absolute worst. Parasites living off the backs of the taxpayers. I cannot even imagine what that must feel like because anything I ever wanted, I worked for. All the rules I was raised with don't apply anymore. It's all about something for nothing.

Sorry for the rant. Just my two cents.

IF THE CITY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY ITS POLICE, FIRE, AND OTHER CITY WORKERS, THEN HOW IN THE HELL CAN WE AFFORD TO HOST THE OLYMPICS!

How dare you refer to the late Richard JEWELL, the HERO of the Centennial Park Olympic bombing as a "mope"!

Had it not been for Mr. JEWELL's evacuation of the crowd after his discovery of the abandoned backpack with the shrapnel pipe bomb, the death toll would have probably taken far more than one life.

Using their "magic profiling" compounded by their gross incompetence, the FBI hounded that poor man to an early grave at age 44.

Fugitive Eric Robert RUDOLPH was ultimately arrested and convicted of the Atlanta bombing murder and other crimes including the murder of a Birmingham police officer.

Richard JEWELL died an unsung hero worthy of our respect.

YOU are the MOPE.

Bill Campbell was the mayor of Atlanta in 1996.

In his hubris, the megalomaniacal Daley does indeed want a successful 2016 Olympic bid to be his legacy, the taxpayers be damned.

Mr. Richard Jewell passed away a couple of years ago due to complications from diabetes and is now forever unable to defend himself. He was no mope. He was a hero. Instead of being honored for saving lives, he was maligned, persecuted and messed over by our government. If things were in our world were right and just, after he was cleared, he would have been invited to the White House, given an award on prime time television, given the ride of his life by Scarlett Johannsson in a fancy NY hotel, and subsequently given enough cash to have a nice life, but, alas, things will never be right and just. Richard Jewell was no mope and fuck you for calling him a mope. RIP Richard Jewell. You are a true hero. God bless you.

Unfortunately he can't respond using his Louisiana email because the long arm of Daley has subpoenaed all his email and telephone records to see if he is campainging on city time. Please contact his brother at dean@vallasgroup.com. I did and hopefully he will come back and bring some changes here.

CHALKIE! CHALKIE! CHALKIE!

Blake, 15, was on spring break when he was shot about 12:30 p.m. in the 7700 block of South Carpenter Street, police said. He was the 32nd Chicago Public Schools student slain this school year.

Family members said Blake had agreed to shoot dice before a man shot him in a robbery attempt. He was carrying a large amount of cash, and his attacker knew it, a source said.

Shortly after word of the shooting spread, his aunts and brothers gathered in the street near the shooting.



"He had his issues growing up," said an aunt, Eugenia Baxter, 29. "He was a teenager. He wanted room to grow up."

Growing up included hanging out with friends, shooting dice and sometimes fighting. Family members said Blake wasn't in a gang but that he was a tough, strong kid.


a "strong kid"??? I guess hwere Im from the definition of "strong kid" doesnt include shooting dice, getting stabbed, gighting, or getting shot over said dice game... Call me crazy, but if I were a betting man (like this 15 year old apparently) Id say he has had a few run ins with the law and school officials... But somehow that doesnt make it into the press release!!!

THIS IS AN IDEA WHO'S TIME HAS COME!

NO ALDERMAN IS TO RUN UNOPPOSSED!

Police, Fire and perhaps Teachers, Streets and San workers should form a joint political committee and run one candidate to oppose each sitting (probably a Daley appointed lackey) Alderman.

By doing that a few people can get TV time on the news every night. They could call attention to all the city problems like the sitting Alderman have to sweep under the rug so they don't embarrass their master. It will get our message across and maybe a few, (if they don't run splitter/spoiler) candidates against us will win.

Then invite the Feds in to audit the city's books and listen in as the Daley crew offers bribes to become one of them.

Stay safe, and I'd be willing to put some money and do some work on that project.

Dirty Little Richie:

Prior to EXAMSCAM and your "blue ribbon panel" cover-up by your kangaroos, the City of Atlanta had the dubious distinction of having the worst big-city police promotion cheating scandal in U.S. history. The police chief, A. Reginald Eaves was fired and later imprisoned on unrelated charges.

The 1996 Olympic games were also held in Atlanta. I'd like to make a recommendation for your "One Book, One Chicago" library program:

"And They Call Them Games; An Inside View of the 1996 Olympics" by C. Richard Yarbrough, the then director of communications for the Atlanta Olympic Committee, Mercer University Press. ISBN: 0-86554-706-8.

A "must read" for all Chicagoans and certainly your Democratic supporters. Strike the latter--most of them are illiterate.

Atlanta pales in comparison to the laughingstock bellwether of municipal corruption: "The Chicago Way"

With passionate contempt for a shamelessly corrupt bully, I am...

The times I was there I thought it was a real sick building. But, screw our raises and medical care, Mrs. Shortshanks will get her own palace and monument, no matter what the cost.

As far as all the work done to make it a working training...it was always thought that it would be better to take the whole operation to the University of Illinois Chicago Campus. We could use a real university, with decent bathrooms.

Or we could move it to the Academy. With all that staff there and not much to do.
