Kass Covers Chalkie
- But first, let's welcome two new members into the Society of the PLMSRCS. Everybody knows this snappy acronym: the Society of People Lord Mayor Shortshanks Really Can't Stand.
One is David Hoffman, the city's inspector general. Mayor Richard Daley appointed him to investigate City Hall corruption. Trouble is, Hoffman is good at his job. - Now, let's honor another guy with a political target on his back. My friend Chalkie. He doesn't say much. Chalkie's the silent type.
He's actually a chalk outline of a hypothetical homicide victim, holding a chalk Olympic torch, his limp, little, toeless, chalk feet akimbo.
He's starring on a killer T-shirt just as the mayor hopes to spend billions on the Olympics, though taxpayers are already squeezed dry and violence holds some neighborhoods hostage.
Here's the original appearance of Chalkie way back in June of 2008.
Hopefully, the people over at Chalkie2016 figure out a way to fire up the print shop again for T-shirts and caps.
You've come a long way little chalk outline of ours.

OT: Anyone hear about the officers in 022 involved in a bad accident last night?
hey, how is it that it's like an impossible task, even harder than pulling teeth to get a liquor license here in Shitcago but a certain 10th ward aldermans brother gets one as easy as it is applying for a library card; hmmmm.
CHALKIE IZ DA BEST!!
We Have The Same Problems Out This Way On A Smaller Scale Mind you Shitty Of About A 100,000, CORRUPT Pols Shitfords Mayor Is under Indictment, Another Grand jury Report About Him & His Clout Soon, Fake/Storefront Revs By the Boatload, Honor/Medical Students On Their way to Redemption SHOOTING Folks INSIDE Downtown Bars ( Across From The biggest Draw In Town) Etc & Da Libtards Wanna Know Why NOBODY Wants To support Downtown SHITFORD?? My PD Is Undermanned( Sounds Like Shitcago) & The Pols just Blame The Economy LMAOBT
We Feel The Pain Of Your Blue Shirts Out This way, We Want To be Proactive Police, But The Pols & Libtards Will Chuck Us under The bus If we Are, so unfortunatly, We are Reactive.
Thanks SCC For The Rant,Just Had to, Trying To Do The Right Thing , But Certain elements Will Not Let us do the Right thing.
Stay Safe Brothers & Sisters Out That way, We Know what your Going Through
John Kass is the BEST!
The scary part is once the print version of the Tribune is gone, it will leave the Internet version to read Kass.
If the Chinese can install filters, eventually Shortshanks, Obama, and the other polirticians will give it a try. Think Phil is full of paranoid shit? Blago tried to make a deal with the Tribune in order to get good press coverage.
Where are meds? I'm getting paranoid AGAIN!

Am I breaking a commandment? Thou should not worship more than one GOD?
I worship CHALKIE, as much as my real GOD. CHALKIE always appears and reeks havoc on the devil J-FED
and his MERIT MINIONS..CHALKIE makes the WARRIOR DUGANS rectum retract.
I feel let down that CHALKIE boycotted the Taste, but it was great to have him appear when all the resources in the districts were down town.
CHALKIE is music to my ears, I was chalking to the east, chalking to the west, chalking chalking, with my man CHALKIE who is the best..
Thank GOD I got my Chalkie Tee shirt and baseball cap before the clamp down. I wear it with pride!
Hey chalkie, don't let the press get to your head.
Thanks to John Kass.
It's refreshing to see a legit media person on our side for once.
Thanks, John.
(Sgt) George Papagiannis (RIP) was right about your fairness and allegiance many years back.
Go chalkie go! OT, aren't the fake west side new mount pilgrim make believe church revs supposed to be up in arms over burr oak? Oh, no whitey involved. No law suit. Ha ha.
Chalkie,
You da man who cares if mayor mumbles doesnt like you. It would be like christmas in July if you stopped by and said hi to him.
Chalkie for Mayor of Chicago!
SCC, you might consider linking to this site as a friendly gesture of support for the 2016 Olympics - in Tokyo!
Chalkie says Go Go Godzilla!
Great article, as usual, from our friend John Kass. One of the only reporters with a set of nuts out there. It's the only part of the Trib worth reading.
I own a Chalkie Tee. Everyone loves it.
Modify the Chalkei design and sell some more. Screw the IOC and their lawyers.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean people aren't out to get you
TO: 7/11/2009 03:10:00 PM
The question is not "Are you paranoid" but "Are you paranoid enough?"
I'm a "Chalkaholic"!
correct me if I am wrong... but wasnt the original chalkie just an outline, with the torch being added later as chalkie 2016??? Or will chalkie die with the olympic bid?
Does "Chalkie" have a cousin (real or play) for Agg Batt "victims"??
A little Chalkie trivia from a big Chalkie fan. Many moons ago an eccentric, comedic, talented, odd couple working an A2 Burglary mission team decided the use of chalk at homicide scenes was highly under appreciated and in danger of becoming a dying art form. So decided they would double-handedly resurrect and re-establish this simple but fundamentally basic forensic tool. Initially chalk outlines appeared at homicides in which the dusty pair held the paper. As their talent grew so did their propensity for outlining frightening, morbid figures amidst the grafitti on the bricks of the denizens that this mysterious Frida and Diego only "predicted" would be the next victims. It didn't stop there. Police supervisors rumoured to be dumped could expect a grotesque death outline anywhere even on the bar at his favorite watering hole. The chalk of such a bright pukey yellow could have only come from the city, too cheap to buy quality of course. The story goes a famous newspaper reporters son (of the same name, but with a jr on the end) chased the story because he wanted to laugh his ass off. He chased these two all the way into an abonded garage in Kensington when he informed them that the cheap yellow chalk glowed in the dark. Fuck this shit.
I love John Kass, he is the only reason I maintain my subscription to the tribune otherwise I get more reliable news from Star and US weekly. Kass is one of the few journalists in Chicago that has some integrity and writes it how it really is.
John Kass rocks but I still wouldn't spend a dime on either the times or the trib. Kass should write a newsletter. Now that I would subscribe to.
Kass also talked a bit about Chalkie on AM sports talk radio recently. He's not shy about the subject and was pretty funny. Another reason to like his stuff.
"Society of the PLMSRCS"
Lets see......
Don't forget to add:
Every Union and Employee that does NOT kiss his crooked ass.
Hey, how about 5 bullet wounds in the chest for chaulkie it could symbol the 5 rings of the olympic insignia. * * *

The concert promoters haven't been able to stop bootleg t-shirts, the IOC will have the same problem. There are dozens of small t-shirt shops in the area.
Any one of them can turn out a batch and they can be sold before any lawyer can get on the scent. It's been done for years.
Someone send Kass a complimentary shirt or two.
