Bring Out Your Dead
To the disgust of some staff, bodies are piling up at the office of the Cook County Medical Examiner, stacked atop each other in blue plastic tarps against a wall of the storage cooler because of ongoing financial woes, the Sun-Times has learned.
All the storage trays are full, and many have a second body on them, according to sources in the office. Some 400 adults and about 100 babies are currently being kept in the cooler designed for under 300, one source said.
“There are so many bodies in there now, they can’t keep it cool enough. The stench is like nothing I’ve ever seen,” another source in the office said. “I think it’s sacrilegious.”
We wonder what it's like to actually live in a place where government is semi-competent.

Hmmmm
I thought a "stench" was something you would "smell" NOT "see".
It must be really fuckin' bad if he can see it.
Heard Pat and Spiro will be serving gyros in 18 tact office tomorrow if anyone is hungry. Ken is buying.
How much money would be considered enough to run the bloated monster known as Crook County government?
Politicians can f__k up even a modern, purpose-built facility, messing around with the amount on Budget Line 37 for indigent burials.
Time to put a refrigerated trailer outside for the overflow, so they can sanitize things indoors a bit.
Let's go, people. Not like you don't know the drill.
Be glad it's not high summer...
I was in there recently. It is BAD.
Preckwinkle isn't so stupid. The actual dead bodies can no longer vote for her and her fellow Dems, but their identities can be used by the illegal invaders that they refuse to turn over to the Feds for deportation.
More Democrats to vote for politicians who provide free government checks and cheese to those who refuse to work for a living... Oh, what a country!
But Rahm is under budget right?
Waiting for the "...and this is necessary because it enables us to save much needed cash..." line
The spring of 2012 is going to be like nothing we have ever seen before me thinks.
Oh well..hey..anyone know where the next $32,000 dollar a plate campaign fundraiser is going to be so we can watch the offerings to the gods?
Michigan Hunting Laws
Two hunter's from Colorado and Michigan were hunting in the UP when an illegal alien runs across the field. The Michigander takes aim, shoots, and kills him.
"You can't do that!" cried the Coloradan.
"No, no, it's okay! It's legal here in Michigan" replies the Michigander.
Later that night the Coloradan goes and buys some beer and puts it on the roof of his truck while he opens the door. Just then an illegal alien runs by, grabs the beer, and runs away. The Coloradan thinks "No problem" draws his pistol, shoots, and kills him. As he is getting his beer the police come and arrest him.
"But I thought it was legal to shoot illegal aliens here in Michigan!" protests the Coloradan.
"Well yeah," says the cop, "but you can't use bait."
Well first come- first to the paupers field! Its only fair.
How does one see "stench"?
What does one expect in a recession? Dont funeral's average $6000 or more here?
This use to sound like headquarters. Bodies stacked in top of each other......
It must be a really slow news day!
Why can't they just burn the bodies? Failure to claim, becomes an automatic cremation.
Think Seguros Magnum will pay for the damaged tree?
Just another typical evening cruising the boulevard in The Sanctuary City.
What's wrong with "cremation" of the bodies instead of burial? Afterall, the bodies are at the county cause those people ain't got no money or burial plans!
Alot of Counties, States and Countries do it!
It also saves alot of money!
OOPPSS! No kickbacks to the "Crooked County Politicians" from funeral homes!
My Bad!

Another reason to move. Don't want to end up there. Which most reader's will unless, you have a Doctor to sign your Death Certificate. The same group does it again to us. Can't wait to move. Morgue run like a prison camp.
Will Dart be on TV, having his team going through lockers, cabinets, hall closets looking for more remains, like Burr Oak Cemetary?
The County never has enough money, where does it stop.
I wonder how much one of those pine boxes cost plus the burial? They got there via GSSP for around around $900, and they aren't squawking about not getting paid.
Someone hasn't been sending in their contributions since Ol' Toad Stooger Jr. was put out.
But missing link Foni Freckwrinkle gave us tax relief! Who cares about your stinking relatives!? I got a shiny new nickel in my pocket that would not have been there previous to her self-serving promise to return a .25% of 1% of 100% of the sales tax. Is that the change dummieRATS were promising us? Chump change in return for our votes? Is seems like dead cousin Freddy ain't the only thing that stinks around here! Foni should have kept the nickel and bought a new cooler!
Since they can't pay taxes any more, they are no longer of any use to the State, County & City and are treated appropriately.
But they still will get to vote as death does not stop them from voting Democratic.
When 13 million dollars was cut from the Medical Examiners office, its what happens.
When we redistribute that financial cut to give out additional social benefits to keep voter base happy, its what happens.
When politicians create laws because they sound good, instead of being practical, its what happens.
When we elect people because the media and its liberal agenda loves them, this is what happens.
The Cook County government is so corrupt and disfunctional on every level, yet Illinois voters continue to vote for the democratic candidates.
Keep the machine alive and keep voting democrat, it's what you have been raised to do.
WTF?
Wake Leroy Martin up and send him over to the Arab store for a couple bags of ice.
Problem solved.
Being in Cook County, all the toe-tags were replaced with voters registration cards.
Kass sees Obama for another 4 years...

That's disgusting! This isn't F-ing Haiti!!! We're supposed to be a world class city.
Potter's Field and clear that shit out!
With remnants of the collision literally at his feet, the McKinley Park ghost-statue of our President Wm. McKinley was heard to say, "Dee-Amm Sam!"
A lot of stiff competition in there. Everyone gives you the cold shoulder there. When they sit around...they really sit around. They're dying to get in that place!! Hah! Happy Holidays.
SCC I am not realy sure about the subheading that you put here to get to the article
"Once again, the morgue is proving to be an embarrassment to the County government:"
Hey there is PLENTY to be embarrassed about with this county government. And we can & should start with the county board
Remember the great heat wave of . . . what was it, '95? They got refrigerated semi-trainers, parked 'em in the morgue parking lot, and filled 'em with bodies. Nice.
When you see stench it is much like the squigly lines emitted by the heat of the sun on hot ashphalt. It distorts your vision coupled by the actual smell it may also affect your hearing.
I feel bad for the recruit class when they have they're morgue day.
Eeeeew. That place stinks anyway. It sounds like a health hazard for the workers!
I don't think the dead mind it so much. They're dead! The living who have to work there...it always smelled bad. You work around dead, rotting corpses. What did you think it was gonna smell like?
Next thing they're gonna complain about is the stiffs being bad conversationalists. Fucking Cook County stiffs!
If I was a top boss at the medical Examiner's office and was on the "KMA list";
I would get a truck and move a couple a dozen of those fuckin' bodies down to the county building and put 'em out side of that bitches office.
Why not ask the families to claim their loved ones? So many go thee because the families never claim them and they are sent to morgue for storage. The morgue should not be a perpetual storage facility. At some point the bodies must be buried.

I don't like Emanuel or Obama, but this one falls squarely on Preckwinkle and the Cook County Board.
Just sayin.
Didn't Daley rent refrigerated trucks during the heat wave some years back. I am sure President Prickwankle can find some "connected" contractors to fill up some of those trucks with the unwanted dead.
Sounds like a great script for another Zombie flick. The unwanted overcrowded dead come alive and wander out of the Fishbien Institute (Crook County Morgue) and start eating every Democrat they can get their greasy hands on.
But wwe can have a record number of Link cards issued in addition to other "free give away" programs...
Welcome to walmart folks, for those of you that voted it, now enjoy it.
how many are illegals?
overcrowding schools
overcrowding the morgue
It's because you can't bury your loved one by swiping the LINK card.
Ladies and Gentlemen this sounds like the begining of Zombies. This is how diseases are created and hosted. Get ready...Zombieland :)
Amazing all these dead people had supposed friends and family and now just left them there. wow!
so much for the claim of crime being down, the dead bodies are just getting there by themselves.
Why can't they just burn them, if nobodies picking up
Time to use a shuttered steel mill as a crematorium. Turn it up to extra crispy and empty those shelves!
Another mess left by ego head

spiro will be the waiter pouring ouzo and pink ladies to stevie and jimmy keating.
spiro will get upset when they only leave a $1.00 tip.
Funny thing is, I know two qualified people who appplied for jobs there. Both never heard back from her majesty. I guess they did not have the prefered phone call.
Just like everything else is crook county
The stench is nothing compared to what is emanating from 35th St. They are the only ones who CAN'T smell it.

Sign of the economic times my friend.
People working their government subsidized shovel-ready jobs that require food stamps and other welfare to live on just don't have the spare change to pick up the bodies to with them themselves.
"How does one see stench?"
1/15/2012 05:50:00 AM...
Easy!
Pulled a guard detail on the two refrigerator trailers (LaGrou?)parked at the M.E. during the '95 Heat Wave.
Even at 0300hr the stench was not only visible but was walking around pimp-slapping everybody in the vicinity.
Of course it wouldn't be CPD if a stupidvisor didn't roll by to beef about "I thought I told you guys to park over there!" Over there being downwind... She rolled by the spot she picked, turned around and drove away without a word but not before giving us the shit-eye for being right.
"At some point the bodies must be buried."
No fucking way, not on my dime. Burn em. or Sell em for research.
I had to guard those LaGROU trailers they brought in for the heatwave many summers ago. The media found out that the same un-sanatized trailers were being used to keep food cold at the Taste of Chicago!
Burn em!
Soylent Green anyone?
Um, it's 12 degrees outside. Open a window.
The won't be buried until after they vote in the next election.
What IS wrong with cremation?
they are not dead,they are loafing county workers,gives a new meaning to ghost payrollers ar ar ar
Hey, if the county jail is over crowded, why shouldn't the ME office be over crowded too? I mean isn't there a cause and affect here. The more people murdered on the streets of our wonderful city, wouldn't it make sense that the ME is over crowded and the jail is over crowded with the killers of the crowd at the ME office?

The concept makes some people do a slow burn.

Not necessarily.
A special prayer for all of the lonely sick and elderly who did not make it through the winter...
This is whats really going on at the morgue......

Yes, he did and the trucks had to be destroyed as they could not be used to carry food again. It cost the city a lot of money.

And the identity of the stupidvisor? Now a lieutenant?
@ 1331 PM...
jah... dat's da one.
no amount of midol, correctol, geritol & whiskey worked. neither did chaining the coffin shut...
she wears the shit-pants for fucking up a decent watch. she was finally told to find a home somewhere else. she's been "invited" to leave every district she's been assigned to so go figure...
whose house is she haunting now?
