More $$$
Shortshanks has to be pulling this money out of his ass:
- Chicago will spend up to $1 million to expand energy assistance at 21 sites across the city.
Mayor Richard Daley said this morning the city will help low-income residents apply for energy bill assistance, as well as weatherization programs that make homes more energy efficient.
Funding comes from a variety of grants. The sites include religious organizations, community groups and health centers.
"We must do all we can to protect those who are struggling," Daley said.
Struggling? Has anyone seen their property tax bill lately? Or the last two years of tax increases? And Shortshanks is going to piss away another million bucks? We'll spare everyone the stories about those who heat the great outdoors with all the windows open when it's below 50 degrees and the kerosene heaters setting entire buildings on fire because no one reads the warning panel.
Where does he keep finding this money? It's like he's growing it. Hey Richie?!? How about sharing some?

Everytime I walk into one of these apartments/homes, the heat is set on HELL! I keep my heat on 63 over night. My monthly bill on the budget is $120.00 and that's with a pool heater. Its called being responsible.
That goes for the Districts as well.
You can vote for Daley or you can vote for the Gangster disciple.
I'm voting for the Gangster Disciple.
We have no contract. We have not had a raise in almost 3 years. Our taxes went up. I think we should all go apply for this heat assistance. We are needy.
He must of went under the floorboards at moms old bungalow across from 009. Imagine if those walls could talk.Why else wont he sell the house.Imean how many people just sit on a paid off house.Most people would have sold when the market was hot.His salary isnt that great.Im starting to think hes up to something
He's spending money like a drunk sailor in a whorehouse!!!!!! Hey think of the bright side...it aint his.
Between these top two headlines that's $2.4 million. Glad to see that in times of recession and penny pinching the mayor can keep spending and spending. Some day the mayor will be gone and I feel sorry for who ever it is that has to take his place. Everything that generates revenue will be sold and the finance charges on all the b.s. loans will be due tenfold. This city is the mayor's pot of gold. He just keeps spending and spending but doesn't care where it comes from. He can cry poor one day and spend millions more the next day. These local news agencies have their heads buried so far up da mayor's ass they can't see the light of day.

........AND taxpayers.
This evening, I was checking out at my local Jewel when the clerk asked me, "would you like to make a donation to a food pantry?"
Any normal person would gave said "sure". Nope, not me. I said, "no, they need to get a job."
These blood sucker, link ass mother fuckers made me this way. And I'm not happy about it.
Not to mention the no English bitch in front of me with a cart full of groceries paying with a link card.
I can't even go to jewel anymore. It's all we got in G ridge.
At a time when cities and states are cutting back on programs, in order to balance their OWN budgets, he is expanding - not maintaining, but EXPANDING - programs, spending money he claims we don't have. Take note, FOP!!!!
The only explanation I can think of is that he promised a ton of payoffs and kickbacks related to the Olympics, which will never materialize. Now, he has to find a way to move that money out to his pals and this is an expedient way to do it.
Gee, I could sit and counsel people on how to fill out a few forms... can I get one of those contracts?
That's an easy one his buddy in the White house has his very own printing machine wherein he and others like minded can redistribute the wealth among his voters.
He finds it in our Police budget and pension funds. Saw a couple of pro-police letters in the Sun-Times the last couple of days regarding un-paid days for police and fire. The citizens agree with us.
Once again those who contribute little to nothing to society will be rewarded.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a jagoff that's stereotyping the low-income residents of what I'll bet is 21-out-of-21 sites across the city that will be the recipients of this "energy assistance" program.
Fucking disgusting. This country is totally fucked, and this is just another grim reminder of a reality that makes me sick to think that my kids have to grown up with.
Where's he findin' the money? Well, as the article states: "Funding comes from a variety of grants."
So no city funds, if this is to be believed, will be used.
But if you believe THAT ...
Keep everyone on disability!!!
Welfare for everyone!!!
Link cards abound!!!
Heat will not get shut off in the winter, so make your sect 8 castle into a tropical paradise!!!
Very truly yours,
R.M. Daley
P.S. Police and Fire, take a paycut. You people don't deserve a thing from me. You'll just vote against me anyways.
P.P.S. Anyone wanna buy some westside land dirt cheap?
The TIF story is starting to see the light of day, heard one account by the assessor that 1/6 of the entire property tax fund is stripped away by Daley. This money is spend anyway he sees fit. Keep writing about this and refer people to the Reader story.
People wouldn't be "struggling" if the politicians in Illinois knew how to run a government.
---not a cop
Big meeting at South Shore tonight for CTA cutbacks. 1800 hrs. This would be a great place for the petition s to be signed. Lots of angry voters. You would need police protection for people puhing and shoving to sign.
Can't be there myself, just a thought if you're looking to fill a dozen few pages.
What those rotten little snakes actually did was lower the exemptions on property taxes, so they can say that they didnt raise the actual tax itself. Thanks alot!!! My mortgage went up $100.00 over the last two years. They think they are so smart. What goes around comes around M-Fers!!!!! Hey lets give more of our hard earned money to the bottom feeders that have been a drain on the tax payers for decades. The time is near for people to rise up and put an end to this BS. Wake up people!! Or just roll over and take it. Its your choice.
AS A LANDLORD IN THIS CITY IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO HAVE PEOPLE CLOSE THEIR WINDOWS WHEN ITS COLD OUT, HOWEVER THEY WON'T BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT PAYING FOR IT. IN SUMMER THEY LEAVE THE HOT WATER RUNNING IN THEIR SINKS BECAUSE I PAY FOR THE GAS. EVER SEE WIDE OPEN WINDOW WHEN IT FREEZING OUT. I KNOW, LETS GIVE THEM CASH, THEY WON'T WASTE IT.
Shortshanks must be feeling guilty about the "fucking" he's been giving to the citizens of this shitty city.
If he "giving" this $$$$ away, you know he had to steal at least 20 times that amount.
Daley has no morals or ethics. he's the premier bullshit artist of the times.
Fuck You daley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S.
Todd Stroger, Fuck you too !!!!!!!!!!!!

thank You for the insight into to lives of some of our aldercreatures & other elected Cook County officials. I always wondered why Toddler seemed so absent mindedly happy all the time !!!
Can we and the CFD sue the mayor to fund our pensions? Isn't it state law that the pensions are funded? Just asking.

Anyone who has worked in the ghetto knows that these mutts keep their sec 8 houses like a oven. It's ridiculous how hot it is in these places. But then again they aren't paying for the gas so lets just open a window to cool down. Daley is a jagoff. Vote him out!
THe Police are struggling.
Many years back while serving a search warrant in Cabrini Green in one of the whites on Division St., I looked around further (after finding dope, of course) for the required proof of ownership of the apt. for court purposes.
Sitting in a pile of unopened envelopes in the defendants name were numerous pieces of US Mail.
Searching for a utility bill, I grabbed one, of many, from Peoples Gas before we left.
Once in the station I opened the sealed envelope and saw that it was a gas bill in their name in the amount of... TEN'S of THOUSANDS of DOLLARS!
We figured it out later that they had never paid a nickel toward the bill over "years" but they were never shut off!
Go figure...
And the beat goes on, and the "heat" goes on.

ALL TRUE! (except, nobody but crackheads wear "FUBU" anymore)
Election time is just a year off. He needs to distract the peoplez from all of his failures.
Funny thing though, If mayor dwarf had leased the parking meters for what Hoffman said they are worth, the difference could wipe out the the deficit for next year with some left over.
I know the lease money was for long term "rainy day" use, but he is dipping into that cash now anyway.

Your moniker is misleading. If not now, sometime during your career you must have been an active street cop in a high crime district. You've got all the bases covered on your knowledge of the mutt "upscale lifestyle".
Hey I just saw on WGN that the prisoners at Guantanamo are getting their H1N1 flu shots. Even they are more important than us. Every ghetto hype and wet back are getting theirs while we are told go to your health care provider and pay the co pay. That is what the FOP has on their web site. How about refunding some of my dues so I can pay, you havent done shit for me in 15 yrs.
the tax bills are being opened where i live and shock and awe would describe the feeling felt by many--- just at the store the other day and a big 230 pounder towing five kids with him had quite a cart full of groceries--- i'm thinking to myself this guy must have a great job and lo and behold out came the link card, the dog ass got all that shit for free--- he eats better than me and doesn't work, but when the government needs more money they go to the working guy and take more from him and let the loafer lay on the couch all day and do nothing--- TIME FOR A REVOLUTION....

GL, he will just raise OUR taxes to do it.
What needs to be done is to reign in these wasteful spending programs.
He knows the Feds are closing in and he needs to get the money out to his pals... and into his off-shore accounts before they get too close.
Houlihan was able to get a tax cap a few years ago on real estate but the law had to be extended by the Illinois General Assembly, the tax exemption expired last year. Mike Madigan did not allow this legislation to be called for a vote, mainly because he "RUNS" Toddler's office and Toddler needed the additional monies for his Democratic B.S.
NJ Dems sending gangbangers on campaign efforts?
That is what happened Sunday on a quiet street in Morris Township. The officer, who’s name we are with holding, specifically heard the men discussing that he was a police officer and that they now know where he lives. The officer confronted the men and they took off.
Get this ! I saw a TV commercial for LINK CELL PHONES. That's right, the federal government is giving these dogs free cell phones!
I just love when you go to a ghetto home. They have it up to about 90 inside. Must be nice to not have to pay for heat.
SCC.....It would be interesting to get a referendum on the ballot to change how the Sup gets appointed. Maybe an elected Superintendent? Milwaukee used to elect their Sup. It may not benefit us as POs but if would certainly hurt Shortshanks more. Just a thought....
My mortgage with the new taxes just went up $150.00
He is like a "magician,"finds money everywhere,wait until the cowardly alderthieves reject the double digit (deserved) raise plus retro! Then it goes to court and daley must show "full disclosure" of all the hidden treasures yep tif money 1505,and all the other hidden monies! We will see how much he has stolen also!
Why can't we have someone with a brain to run against this asshole?

Haha.... how true. Makes the home smell so nice too. No money for cleaning supplies but enough for a $500 a month heating bill. Like they pay that anyway. I'd love to see a gas usage map of the city. On the other hand, I walked in one of these homes once on a 85 degree summer day, and it was at least 120 degrees inside. I asked why they didnt open any windows. They replied that it was hot out and they didnt want to let any of the heat in. That is what we're dealing with

Didn't the FOP agree to postpone City pension payments until 2013 ?
Daley is buttering up his constituents. Its illegal but he does it
If anybody wants to know where most of the city's money goes, look no further than the 'black hole' aka CPS.
One area where an money goes to die is funding for the schools with shop classes. A lot of people took shop classes when they went to high school and it helped them find a career or in their 'do-it-yourself' projects. But, not anymore. Very few CPS high schools (Dunbar, CVS, Lindblom, Prosser, Lane) offer shop classes, but, it can very lucrative for the teachers.
Shop classes have become a way for teachers to make $100K/yr. while doing a little more than 'baby sitting' students that can't be in normal class settings.
Case in point, Prosser Career Academy High School. Prosser has (10) shops and all (10) teachers make $100-$120K.
But, here's the thing....they make that much because they're each given a 6th period and that costs taxpayers another 20% of each teacher's pay.
Now, if the Prosser shop classes were productive then my argument would be moot. But, less than 2% of the Prosser students graduate and go into careers that had anything to do with their Prosser shop classes.
Only 4% of Prosser's students in the study program(which allows them to get out of school early at 12:50PM and has them miss 1 1/2 periods of their required 3-period shop class as seniors) work a job related to their shop or any other shop Prosser offers.
And, very few students stay the whole (3) periods (6th, 7th, & 8th) at the end of the day and the last period usually has 3-4 students in each shop class withthe teacher bullshitting with the kids.
Why wouldn't a teacher want a 6th class at Prosser as it typicaly means another $20,000 in salary per teacher. Oh yeah, that's for 9-months and a crap load of days off during the school year.
If want to see for yourself if the Prosser shop teachers are 'stealing' money from the taxpayers, you can go to Prosser's website (www.prosseracademy.org) and find out which teachers have shop classes from their staff directory.
Next, pay the $2-3 to check out public school salaries on the Chicago Sun-Times website (www.suntimes.com). Then, enter Prosser as the school name and see how a Principal (Kenneth Hunter) is making $156K, an Asst. Principal(Dr. Raul Luna) is making $134K, and 10-15 teachers are making over $100K all at a school that's on its 7th consecutive year in need of school improvement.
So, if anyone wants to find out where at least $200K is being lost every year out of the city budget, go to Prosser and check out the Lexus', Cadillacs, BMWs, and Volvos in the teacher's parking lot.
Did I mention Prosser has a gym teacher making $111,000/yr?
Crime rate is even higher than last year in Chicago and Crook County. I wonder why?
See Chicago Suntimes- 11/03 - Zoning investigator admits taking bribes- and the comments. Commentator really sets out what is happening in just one area of Chicago corruption.
The first post on this page hit the nail on the head,every house you go into has the heat set at 80 or above yet, you wait until you get home from work to turn your heat up to 72. Whats wrong with this picture?Just keep giving it
why isnt the heat temp set at the legal minimum, 65 degrees i think?
I always enjoyed going into boarded up south side project buildings only to discover the heat set on rain forest and water continuously running

LMAO....yeah right....wishful thinking!
Deadly police chase this morning on southside.
I read the news accounts and the comments section.
As usual, I am so pissed off I can't see straight.
Most of these comments are so "anti police" and "blame the police" that I vow never again to do anything proactive for any of these "sheep" called citizens!
I'm in self preservation mode now. My head's firmly in the sand. It's only about ME, My Family, and my Partner and fellow cops!
Especially enlightening are all the arm chair quarter backs, whining, "Couldn't the police just get the license plate?"
Give me a break! Poll most of these goofs in the hood, they all consider themselves good law abiding citizens..other than the bogus plates on their cars, lack of insurance, no city stickers and multiple CB#s for drug offenses! BUT, other than that they are all good law abiding citizens.
Good job DEA & CPD. You all went home safely.
Prayers out to the innocent victim (due to the selfish actions of the offender's)
Lastly,hammer the criminal offenders,throw the book at them! May they go to hell!
I remember 8 or 9 years ago getting detailed to Peoples Gas Centers for security in the spring because they had the nerve to cut off people who hadn't paid their bill. So if you didn't want to get cut off you had to come down and pay something, anything. Well you all know what showed up in their brand new Cadillacs, Lexus's, Lincolns wearing all the latest designer clothing. It was unfucking believable. To this day I laugh when I see the Peoples Gas donate a dollar for the Share the Warmth Fund.
The makers of thermostats need to make it mandatory so the damn tings don't reach above 78 degrees! How many time have you gone to a domestic, or a search warrant and the friging thermostat is in the upper 80's close to 90 degrees? They don't care cause they don't have to pay for it. Just another handout payed for by You And ME, the tax payers!
And just think COSTCo will be accepting the link card by the end of the month. WTF??? HOW ABOUT WELL-FARE REFORM IN THIS COUNTRY!
I know it will never happen, but look how many millions, and billions of tax $$$ could be saved.
OT: Its a shame a lady was killed by drug dealers in 003 today. (car crash) The DOA's family is already blaming police (ch 5 news) for the actions of the dope slingers. The family doesnt believe the po- po's story. Even the reporter stated during his live report that the family blamed the police more then the dope boys.
Boys and girls it ain't worth the headache. Some communities prefers dope dealers to police so let them live in their Eden. As long as the criminals are plying their trade in their own hoods I don't care. Give the peoplez whats dey wants.
I D0N'T PUT THE HEAT PAST 68. CAN'T AFFORD TO. I MANAGE. I PUT A SWEATSHIRT ON.I HAVE A JOB. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. OH,I FORGOT ABOUT ONLY BUYING THE FOOD ITEMS THAT ARE ON SALE OR THE ITEMS THAT I HAVE COUPONS FOR.
FUCK THE GHETTO RATS,LET THEM GET UP IN THE MORNING AND WORK FOR WHAT THEY GET..........I KNOW,I'M A RETARD.
Just look at your property tax bill and see how much of it goes toward the schools, well over half. The teachers have a better salary and pension plan than the police and fire. Now look at what the property taxes paid by politicians, Stoger pays $1100 per year? He must live in a dump. Burke pays 8 grand for a new home that should be costing him 18 grand in taxes. Clearly, the connected folks control the tax assesment board of cook county.
I FOUND THE FOLLOWING IN THE TRIB;
The agency that runs McCormick Place and Navy Pier is in a "deep financial hole" and will have to rethink every aspect of its operations, its new chairman said Tuesday.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CITY....THE NEWS MEDIA.....THE FEDS? QUIT MAKING UP JOBS FOR THE RETIRED FRIENDS OF POLITICIANS. QUIT MAKING UP JOBS FOR THE UNEMPLOYABLE HACKS. QUIT ALL THE BULLSHIT. YOU COULD GO IN THERE TOMORROW AND LAY OFF 10 PEOPLE AND SAVE OVER 1 MILLION DOLLARS AND NOT MISS THE TOTALLY NOT NEEDED GOOFS THAT THEY HAVE THERE. START CUTTING.
I say FUCK the POOR!!! I hate PEOPLE who don't work anyway. I have been working since I was in 5th grade and I am tired of the SAME people who always seem to be wanting my wallet instead of working themselves. Then they have the gull to call me a racist because I am WHITE, I guess I can't be that FUCKING racist if they get my TAX dollars!!!

Hop on the Stevenson, go west to Rt. 83.
A fifteen minute drive from Archer & Harlem.
Go north on Rt. 83 to 63rd St. for Dominicks
Go north on Rt. 83 to 55th St. for Jewel.
Both are in DuPage County = the lowest taxes you will find close to the city.
I go once a month, you could go twice a month if you have smaller kids at home.
Well worth the $$$$ and you get the satisfaction of knowing you did not spend your hard earned $$ in Chicago or Crook County!
They replied that it was hot out and they didnt want to let any of the heat in. That is what we're dealing with

Parking meter charges are GOING UP AGAIN???? Wtf?
It's our money no one else. New Mayor needed, run one of our own. Start the ball rolling now.
My ultimate goal is to wait until things are so fucked up in Chicago, that I can pick up my grandparent's old two flat on the west side for a song, Monroe just east of Cicero.
Keep up the bad work.
Yup...
We've been in more than our share of some of these CHA penthouses and the occupants thereof. (usually at gun point, spread-eagled dick on the floor asshole to the ceiling)
Observations? Yah, we got a ass-pocket full of 'em...
Heat usually regulated at "you gotta be shittin' me" temperatures but the windows are open even with a -60 wind chill.
So hot and muggy that the unit has flies in mid January and said flies are big enough to murder a buffalo.
The toilet is full to the top with shit and is cracked nearly in half.
The only source of light is the 60 inch tv sitting on two milk crates... "I paid for that tv!" OK muthafuckah, then you won't mind if Union Pacific P.D. paid your stupid ass a visit... O_o "HUH?"
(We had a particular disdain for train bandits.)
OR...
Six feet of water in the basement, frozen solid... Along with whoever was down there. They usually announced their presence during the spring thaw... aka the human popcicles...
OR...
Chased old boy into a vacant apartment... "HAH, you dumbass, that's the bedroom, no way out" HAH, jokes on you office... these fools busted holes from unit to unit across the entire width of the building and from floor to floor. Hit the bedroom just in time to see the urban incarnation of the 110 meter high hurdles... "Sheeeit, these fools are better than Hogan's Heroes ever could be!"
On top of random awesomeness like bags of shit, bathroom fixtures, canned goods and spare car parts being flung out the windows when the Police did have to show up...
...The monies wasted on this failed study in terror is astronomical... there will never be a full accounting.
We've been had... we work like dogs, pay more than our fair share in taxes ("...any surplus will be remitted to the people/taxpayers) with no raises and some damn fool alderhoes & the little irish turd that won't flush (no matter how hard you jiggle the handle) have the gall to tell us to take unpaid days off?? No wonder these link card wielders are laughing there asses off... They ARE the new political constituency. Working tax payers, especially city employees ("captive audience") are fucking second class citizens. Police Officers are second class citizens and expendable to 42 extra-short & the alderfools...
The balance of tax paying citizens should be alarmed and appalled...

There was a CST article about a piece of shit who gets $600 a month in food stamps, or snap.
The future is hopeless for these people:
FENGER HIGH SCHOOL - Overall percentage of state test scores meeting or exceeding standards out of 1291 students is 7.5% for 2009 - that is 97 students.
The results for 2008? 3.7% - that is 48 students.
WTF!
Did into this Tribune report card of the schools and its a bit shocking.

Well, the postal avalanche has begun on the advisory referendum to reduce wards from 50 to 25. I will only convey the count to SCC on a daily basis.
A correction in the referendum box at the top: Do NOT check "yes" or "no". Leave it blank.
Also, I asked that you include a STAMPED, self-addressed envelope (44 cents) or postcard (28 cents) so I can acknowledge receipt of your petitions.
There are those that would like to see us fail. In Chicago, that could easily include theft from the mail.
I will NOT sign for CERTIFIED Mail/Return Receipt Requested. Upon receiving your petitions, I will mail your receipt back to you. If, after one week, you do not receive your receipt, the services of the United States Postal Inspection Service may be needed.
Keep 'em comin'!
Hearings in the Chicago City Council on the police portion of the budget begin on Friday, Nov 6 at 1000 hours.
11/6 FRIDAY Budget Hearing - 10:00 A.M., or subject to the call of the Chair - Department of Police
If anyone is RDO and would like to witness some comedy come on down.
I'd like to give an honorable mention to the "weight machine" that busted the mayor on the head ! lol

The city building department is really crooked! The one inspector they talk about M.O. is was heavy with Banks, O'Connor and local 130.Not to mention all his wifes family are connected in CPD. Isnt that right Bill and Kim or did you just do Jimmy M.
Better to pay them to stay warm as opposed to them breaking in to stay warm
VOTE FOR TERRENCE OBRIEN CC President!
he loves the police his kid is on the job
The heat in the projects was always on HELL
But
The tenants have no thermostats and can not control the heat
My heat bill is 137.00 a month on budget billing
But
Comed "stole" 2000.00 from me by billing me from someone else's meter.
Comed got the meters mixed up and would not work with me to find out why my bill was 3 times what it should be
found out it was the wrong meter when the other persons power got shut off and my power went off
now I am out 2000.00 and I have always worked and paid taxes and donated to charity, do volunteer work. Respect the CPDand myself and still get messed up so what are you complaining about?
I will be more than happy to 'add a dollar' to my gas bills when these MF'ers who get the LIHEAP, etc etc. have a LOCKED thermostat that is set at 68 during the day and 65 during the night (like mine is); and the meter reader checks the thing monthly. Any tampering with the thermostat will render them ineligible for heating assistance for the next 18 months. Oh yeah, the police should be able to call a toll free number to report thermostat tampering they see when answering a call in one of these 99 degree units...
....Westside inside do-nothing-
DAMNNNN JOE, you right, you right!!
LMFAO !

I just love when you go to a ghetto home. They have it up to about 90 inside. Must be nice to not have to pay for heat.

Gimme a break! Another Daley Crime Family hack!
I guess his kid is a meteor of "merit" shooting through the ranks, soon to be an exempt!
It never stops! WTF?
Well if you ever worked in the projects YOU should know that there are NO INDIVIDUAL heat control in those apartments, and there are plenty of people who live in the ghetto who pay their heating bills. You guys keep yelling about being painted with a broad brush, but I guess it only suppose to work one way.
Why can't we have someone with a brain to run against this asshole?
11/03/2009 12:16:00 PM

Anybody with a brain wouldn't WANT the job. Trying to fix the Daley Disaster is going to be the worst, most thankless job anyone can possibly imagine.
Just look at your property tax bill and see how much of it goes toward the schools, well over half.
________
Wait a minute, doesn't at least half the lottery go to the schools in Illinois too?

Best is to have them relocate to a warmer climate
Mayor Daley & Superintendent
save money in 2010 budget
assign Captains to an area to approve arrest reports , handle shootings , battery of a po etc.
they make over $110,000 a year lieutenants can supervise district watches remember a sergeant runs area 2 / 5th district 4 hours everyday on the 1st watch
sergeants runs detective units when the lieutenant is day off
what the cpd needs is more sergeants , not lieutenants and captains
reassign Captains from districts without a lock up to busy districts
what a waste of money and poor management by area deputy chiefs to have captains working districts without lock ups and low crime
Westside Inside Do-Nothing...I'm appalled!!!!! You fo'got one of the most impo'tint thangs of da livin' laaaahhhge lifestyle...He be gettin paid to babysit his own chirrins...mmmm hhmmmm...now dat some hibbity jibbity...mmmm hhmmmm

Regarding the projects, yeah it's not THEIR fault. Most of the comments refer to the Section 8 recipients. Those, the majority of, whom take every other advantage that they can such as utilities.

SCC,
Please tell me so I understand your rules and regs and can comply.
You printed the above noted post and rejected my response to it. I do not get it.
My response about food at the crib was no more or no less critical or no more or no less cutting edge humor than the original post, but you must have seen something I did not see. Please clue me in so I know for the future.
Thanks.
According to zillow.com my house has lost 4000.00 in value in the last 30 days, my tax bill was 500.00 more than last time! This shit is getting old!
Boy, the way Glen Miller played. Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us, we had it made. Those were the days.
Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days.
And you know who you were then, girls were girls and men were men.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
People seemed to be content. Fifty dollars paid the rent.
Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days.
Take a little Sunday spin, go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin.
Hair was short and skirts were long. Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong. Those Were The Days.

do you still eat baby food, too?

Give it up. What you have to say probably isn't that important or funny anyway. Leave the deep-thinking, funny, sarcastic and excellently composed posts to the "pros". Boo Hoo!! SCC won't post my stupid rant!! Moooommmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!
Carry on, West Side Inside Do Nothing, NorthSide, Henry Bowman, Box Chevy Fantom and a few others that escape me right now. All your contributions are usually rite on the money and its obvious you guys have been on the job a while and around the block more than a few times.
Damn - 68 during the day and 65 at
night is livin large. My thermostat
is set at 63 day/50 night in winter.
