Never Enough
- Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley has joined Coca-Cola Co.'s board of directors effective immediately, the beverage giant announced Thursday.
"Mr. Daley brings significant public policy expertise and experience in creating sustainable growth opportunities for businesses and communities to our company," Coca-Cola Chief Executive Muhtar Kent said in a statement.
As a non-employee board director, Daley's compensation will amount to $175,000 a year, with $50,000 in cash and $125,000 in deferred stock units.
And we actually used to like Coke.

if anyone knows what beaverage Coke Co. Makes please post so I can boycott them.
I just became a PEPSI drinker.
It's a small protest I know, but what the hell.
I will now drink Pepsi.
Payback. Look at the money trail. What did Dick do for Coke in the past that they owe him a big payoff now?
Or, conversely, what does Coke get for ah, 'investing' in Dick?
That's where the answer is.
""Mr. Daley brings significant public policy expertise and experience in creating sustainable growth opportunities for businesses and communities..."
Absolutly True! Look what he did for DuPage and Will Counties! Look how he grew the economies of Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri!
So now that the Maggie Daley love fest is over can we ask what's going on with her security detail (DRIVERS)?
looks like Im a pepsi drinker from now on.
It is time to switch to Pepsi.
Speaking of Coke ..have you noticed that the price of a 12 pack of cans that use to regularly go on sale for three bucks suddenly cost $4.50 at best.
Oh but the prices on the cases of pop haven't gone up my friends just told me. Why I just was shopping the other day and the cases are about the same price..you need to buy bulk.
Ha..only problem is look at the cases closely. It's no longer 24 cans in a case it's a 20 pack. You're paying the same or a little more for 4 less cans.
Just last week a pound of coffee went from being $6.5/lb to $8/lb and if you decided to switch to instant coffee because the price on it didn't seem to increase..well just compare the size of that jar to the last one you bought.
They're sneaking in the hyperinflation. Many cases the prices for a package of something seems about the same but there's less in them.
I went by the meat counter for some ground Italian sausage. They use to be prepackaged in 16/oz packages -- now it's 12/oz
The corporate/political greed is out of control.
The soft drink bottling and beverage companies will probably do anything to kiss the asses of the socialist tyrants in Washington right now because they have been making noise about taxing the hell out of them – on the pretext that the drinks make people fat. Sitting at home collecting welfare checks also makes people fat but no one wants to touch that topic do they.
They’re blackmailing them for contributions and favors like this. Coke is only doing what they need to do in order to survive.
Me and my family will now be drinking Pepsi products. Coke....Just say NO!
WOW !
What did coke get ?
Just goes to show you, if you didn't realize it before, that big business is all part of the crime family. They will gladly look for ANY opportunity to make or steal a buck, even if it means kissing the godfather's ass to do it.
Good bye Coke. Hello Pepsi.
Thanks to the Daley Machine's sin taxes, I rarely buy soda, excluding 88¢ liter sales.
I'm switching to Pepsi.

Cereal, chips, canned goods, even produce.......so dont laugh at the occupay wall street, chicago, oakland etc people. They have a damm good point.

Oh NO my friend. It's not OVER. In fact just yesterday WGN was at city hall getting the Aldermen, on camera, praising Maggie and vowing a permanent memorial to her.
In the meantime, the Cook County Board (where brother-in-law John Daley sits) also honored Maggie the day before:
Cook County Board Remembers Maggie Daley
December 14, 2011|By Erika Slife | Clout Street
The Cook County Board paid tribute to Maggie Daley on Wednesday, with Commissioner John Daley remembering his late sister-in-law and the impact she had on Chicagoans.
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-12-14
/news/chi-cook-county-board-remembers-maggie-daley-20111214_1_maggie-daley-programs-for-chicago-children-christmas-parties
The Daley Crime Family realizes that many Chicagoans have a soft spot in their hearts for Maggie as opposed to the rest of the clan and are happy to use that to advance their agenda of self-aggrandizing the family name. Most people in the know resist this but the sheep...
Well, what can I say? The sheep are sheep and basically do what they are told.
He can afford his own driver/bodyguard crew.
They must need be selling off all their coin operating vending machines so they hired an expert.
Iced coffee is really good too just no fizz.
I'd like to be a fly on the wall when he tells the other members of the board that Coca Cola should sell off one of their valuable, money making, assets for a quick infusion of cash.
"Evvybutty needs money."
Expertise my white pasty ass.
That's why I drink Pepsi.
That's IT!
I'm switching to Pepsi!
Any company that hires this Bozo Daley, for anything other than cleaning the toilets, deserves to go out of business!
Da Pelon
No Coke. Pepsi.
The phone number at coke headquarters is 1 800 get coke or 1 800 438-2653 I just gave them a call to politely express my displeasure with their hiring of the stuttering midget prick and that I will never use their product again. Took over 9 minutes for them to answer. Hopefully others were calling on the same issue.
They asked my zip code for marketing purposes. Gave them my current one AND the 606-- and stated dickhead was the reason I now live far away from chicago.
Its a toll free call and takes a few minutes. Don't be too rough on the person answering, they are only indians too.

12/16/2011 12:24:00 AM<<<
Also How True!
Look what he did to the movie industry in Chicago! New high taxes on everything and small support businesses, jobs and all go out of business or move to Canada, Mexico and Prague. Richie was so outraged on TV when the movie CHICAGO was made in Toronto, but people who work here were thinking, "What did you expect you idiot!".
20 years later, a CANADIAN company, Cinespace buys Ryerson Steel to set up a studio.
They love Richie in Toronto, and I bet you will soon see Coke, (base syrup, bottles, cans etc.) being made in China or Mexico and shipped here on Mexican trucks. Brother Bill Daley will help with that part.
Yeah. I've been pro Coke too but I hate that crook Daley so much, I'm boycotting it till they dump Daley.
Gonna send a postcard to the mothership in Atlanta telling them so and why.
NOTALEO
I'll still drink Coke Pepsi blows.
Haa fuck you coca cola..... hello Pepsi.
he should have someone write a book for him & Call it:
"It Takes A TEAF" !!!!!!!
Not too bad considering what a stupid jagmo he is !
They change there slogan now:
TINGS GO BETTER WIT COKE
When 'Married with Children" came on TV, Coke was a sponsor..One loud mouthed woman from Michigan started sending letters to coke complaining about the show. Coke backed down, based on her letter, and withdrew theit commercials.
Lets do it again..........
Da Mayor needs a part time front to launder all the cash he and his son have.....SSSSSHHH the feds might be wise.
Yet we're still paying for city butlers and city cars for this thieving prick. WTF???
FYI...Try Kroger Big K Cola. Taste just as good as Coke. A lot cheaper. I gave up Coke a while back because it was too expensive. Now I have a better reason. I won't support a company that rewards a thief like Daley with a board seat. As stupid as Daley always sounded he is one smart POS. The Daley's never got caught taking any money. They wait and cash in when they retire. Smart.
Drink RC Cola. It is made in Chicago and tastes great with pizza!
wont stop drinking coke, did you stop loving America because Obama took over?
Obama has added over $6 trillion in debt to the US, which is more than the last 8 presidents combined. Daley drove the City into the same debt ratio, but Coke is a money maker, they must be playing some angle, but guarantee he is to dumb to see it. "if you cant figure out who the fish is at the table, its probably you"
David Koschman was not available for comment.
RC is always a cheaper and tastier alternative.
I NEED A PEPSI!!!!
CAN someone get me a PEPSI!!!!!
Sir.... can you get me a PEPSI??!!
SIR???!!!!
You know who you are.
Daley can show Coke Co. how to steal money without being caught, thats his main expertise STEAL STEAL STEAL
There will never be another can of coke come in this house. Fuck Daley.
Fuck Coke!

The gallon of bleach is now 3 liters, the half-gallon of ice cream went down to 1.75 quarts and then to 1.5 quarts...
...the quart of mayonnaise is now 30 ounces...
...and the half-gallon milk and juice carton is now under attack! Saw it at Walgreens, 1.8 l of orange juice. Nothing wrong with your eyes, they just hit it with the shrinking ray.
I will now drink Shasta from Aldi. Does Coke make Grape pop? If not then Dick cannot reach out to the community for them.

Yeah, can't Coca-Cola provide a limousine and armed Wackenhuts for their precious Daley?
"Never Enough" -- SCC
That is so true for these people -- they made their pile, doubled and redoubled it a long time ago, but simply can't stop. Destined to have a chest-grabber at some desk somewhere.
(OT) and another city approved billion dollar contractor screws up! Wonder what alderthief gets the payoffs?

Just bought 3 cases of Pepsi today. I always drank Coke, but never will again. I just wonder what kind of deal Daley got for Coke when he was our corrupt Mayor. It's amazing how many jobs this scum is getting. He is a terrible business man and I just don't see why anyone would want to deal with him. Sad
one monkey dont stop the show. now he will be escorting another queen around town. and with his money maybe two. enjoy it now, inditement is just around the corner. you and blago can share a cell.
"No Coke! Pepsi!"
I have so much to post on this one, but I might offend "NEIL". We all know, we don't What To offend, Mr."S"
Of course, if we had reporters and journalists, in this town with some real Investigative Skills, and Some Courage, maybe things would not be moving so smoothly for our former Mayor. All that being said, could someone pass the waste paper basket?
I have to "Vomit"
How about Daley and son Patrick hooked up with some Russian money fund company. I know Patrick spent some time in Moscow so it does make me wonder. Now he has the old man in some new Russian venture. Russian Garber who owns all th cabs in big cities like Chicago is a pal of Patrick. Maybe Richie will find himself sitting next to Blago after all....
Hmmm...What does Daley bring to Coke?
"TINGS GO BETTER WIT COKE"

Jeez, we used to have some really good local bottlers. Canfield's, Old Colony...
RC Cola!!
Ya.. he's knowledgeable alright..
In Russian investments with laundered moola...
Enjoy a coke my fellow comrades!
175 grand a year and he cant even recite a rational statement without slobbering and stuttering all over himself..
Pepsi from now on boys and girls..
"Johnny Rocco: There's only one Johnny Rocco.
James Temple: How do you account for it?
Frank McCloud: He knows what he wants. Don't you, Rocco?
Johnny Rocco: Sure.
James Temple: What's that?
Frank McCloud: Tell him, Rocco.
Johnny Rocco: Well, I want uh ...
Frank McCloud: He wants more, don't you, Rocco?
Johnny Rocco: Yeah. That's it. More. That's right! I want more!
James Temple: Will you ever get enough?
Frank McCloud: Will you, Rocco?
Johnny Rocco: Well, I never have. No, I guess I won't. You, do you know what you want?
Frank McCloud: Yes, I had hopes once, but I gave them up.
Johnny Rocco: Hopes for what?
Frank McCloud: A world in which there's no place for Johnny Rocco.
Buy one share of Coke stock and then attend the stockholder's meetings and express the fact that Daley is a low life thief and unworthy of any trust, public or private.
I bet Ace Vending who supplies every broke pop, rotten sandwich disgusting coffee machine to the city had something to do with this!
to 11:53... Thanks for the memory, I love that movie. Unfortunately, though, We are the Osceola boys out on the porch.

Your first problem is shopping for food at Walgreens. All my gallons are gallons and I buy meat in the amount I want. IF i want a pound, I will buy a pound not .75lbs. Learn how to read and your shopping will be easier.
I'm taking the Pepsi challenge from now on. If a company wants to hire a scumbag such as Daley, I will boycott their product.
Just left an email message to Coca Cola telling them that I will no longer purchase any Coca Cola product. Let them know that hiring this fool will hurt their market share and cost them money. It always hurts when you get kicked in the wallet.
Lunch at Leona's today. We ordered a Coke and a rum and Coke. Then we stopped, told the waitress to make those Pepsi and told her why. She laughed all the way to the kitchen.
I can live without Coke. Especially in light of the poor judgement they exhibited by putting this criminal, brainless goof on their board.

--12/17/2011 11:39:00 AM
A. My first problem here is hyperinflation.
B. I don't "shop for food at Walgreens." I check out the food specials as long as I'm in the store for something else. Occasionally I'll hit a good deal. Very occasionally.
"All my gallons are gallons and I buy meat in the amount I want. IF i want a pound, I will buy a pound not .75lbs."
Not if all the place has is smaller package sizes, you won't. My point (and that of others here) is that that's the increasing problem.
"Learn how to read and your shopping will be easier."
I've been called many things, but illiterate is a first. Good day to you, sir.
Man! Professor at Northwestern, Board Member at Coca Cola, Consultant to large law firms, Consultant to the University of Chicago, and Consiglarie to the Mob. How can this man work so much in an 8 hour day? Oh Ya, CPD go-fers.

Big icy Diet Pepsi w/Splenda and a huge bowl of potato chips made with Olestra -- the frying oil that you did not digest, but that just passsed right through unchanged, not adding to calorie intake, just to sudden "Excuse me!"s and runs down the hall...
Like drinking inert silicone heat transfer oil...
These are the motherf__ers who have an apple tree in their yard bue who throw the apples away every year. Nice big Red Delicious, too. Go figure.
