Olympic Candles?

Is it true that the candles passed out at the "2009 Festival of Lights presented by Mayor Richard M Daley" had stickers strategically placed over "Chicago 2016" logos?

It would truly be amusing if so.

Thank God that we didn't win the bid. This is further proof that Daley thought he had it in the bag.

No wonder Richie is literally sweating greasy oil these days. How can he repay all those under the table payoffs and promises?

Daley is just like Blago now, all alone after promising the world to everyone.

All those promised contracts and insider real estate deals are NEVER going to happen. This is one of the primary reasons that Michael Scott is dead.

It is true. The official festival of lights web page acknowledges that these candles were donated by Chicago 2016.

Who makes CANDLES seven years before they're needed? One of the most fragile items out there and you manufacture them seven years EARLY? What, in hopes they'll melt, so you can bill a SECOND time for them?

They actually were found in a city warehouse over on 39th Street and are almost 50 years old. They are leftovers from one of the
"Kennedy/Johnson" torchlight parades that old man Daley use to have to get out that vote in the
'60's.

Da Limpic's was suppose to use them, and now it's da parade of lights.

The old man stored them in case the city ever went broke. He was a visionary.

What candle company made a fortune off that deal? If they were stored in a warehouse, how much rent are we paying to house half-century old candles? There's the real story.

The candles were made in the Vancecko & Scott Candle Factory. An error the part of some city clerk (since fired and hired back the next day at triple the salary) caused the candle order to be for 100x what would have been needed for the entire Olympics.

These 187 truckloads of candles were transported by the Duff owned Marina Cartage to a warehouse owned in Bridgeport by the still incarcerated Robert Sorich.

The candles have since been moved to O'Hare Airport and sent via air freight to Moscow, Russia where Patrick Daley is brokering a deal between the City of Chicago and the Moscow Distillery Cristall for those 110 truckloads of candles (some lost in transit) Patrick Daley has shrewdly negotiated the deal for those $84 million worth of Olympic candles in exchange for 48 cases of Cristall Vodka and a few nights with some hot Russian whores.

Upon returning to the US Patrick will parlay his vast business experience and exemplary military career to become the first person ever to hold the job of Cook County States Attorney who is not a lawyer and can barely spell "attorney."

In that position the young and vodka sodden Patrick Daley will become the third in the Daley family to become mayor when he receives 99% of the vote of the 11th Ward and the rest of the city has 0% voter turnout.

The lakefront liberals scream that no one told them that the election date was changed, The Reader will do some articles. Newly appointed Mayoral Press Secretary Ben Joravsky will offer words of explanation. Everything will go on as before. The Police Department under Supt. Huberman will be struggling to finish work on their 8th consecutive contract to go to arbitration. McCormick Place is empty because all shows have left and it is now a homeless shelter and some police cars still have notebook computers running Windows 98.

The mayor's bodyguard detail is rumored to be 165 officers strong, most boyhood pals and drinking buddies of Mayor Patrick Daley.

and then I woke up to go to work... it was just another nightmare...

Hey Daley THANKS ALOT for leasing everything the city has and for spending all our money on your fake buddies! At least when your in prison with the rest of the jags you will still get 3 meals a day an a little kool-aid while the city you claim to care about will be broke and on it's way to the becoming the next Detroit, MI
Signed, FED UP TAX PAYER
