Rahm Mending Fences to Run Again
He announced on Letterman he was running again. Now he's trying to short up support after spending two years burning bridges:
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel is attempting to rename a major South Side thoroughfare.
If the Mayor gets his way, Stony Island Avenue will be renamed Reverend Bishop Brazier Avenue.
[...] Political sources tell NBC 5 that kind response could be why the Emanuel is doing this, to help with sagging support on the South Side of the city. But the mayor denies an ulterior motive.
"If you didn't do it, somebody would say you're slighting somebody. If you do do it, you're saying it's political. I'll leave that to the cynics," Emanuel said.
- A year after the last Chicago teachers strike, Mayor Rahm Emanuel seemed to offer an olive branch to the head of the Chicago Teachers Union on Monday.
WBBM Newsradio [...] reports the seven-day teachers’ strike last September highlighted the contentious relationship between Emanuel and Lewis, who accused the mayor of screaming and cursing at her two years ago in a private meeting.
Emanuel said, in the past year, he’s tried to visit with and talk to a number of teachers, and said he recently reached out to CTU President Karen Lewis.
“When Karen was ill, I sent her a note to say ‘I wish you well. I wish you a happy, healthy new year as well,’ and that I look forward to – when she feels better – to actually have a good conversation,” he said.
That's a lot of fixing he seems to be attempting.

Pandering, just like the Bishop Ford Expy(Whomever the hell he was)
Where will the Dairy Queen stores be located on Brazier Avenue.
Bishop Brazier was a good, decent and honorable man.
...and said he recently reached out to CTU President Karen Lewis.
“When Karen was ill, I sent her a note to say ‘I wish you well. I wish you a happy, healthy new year as well,’ and that I look forward to – when she feels better – to actually have a good conversation,” he said.
--
Remember, he snubbed her in a major way, NOT inviting her to join him when he and Byrd-whatever rang that school bell on the first day. Let's be clear about 'the rest of the story'.
Rahm sent that snotty get well message because she was reported to be out sick on the first day of classes. It sure sounded like he was thumbing his nose at her, sending a catty get well message after not pointedly not including her at a CPS function.
Hilarious how transparent this guy is.
Good news is, you know exactly what he's going to do when he wins and after he's done being nice to you:
He's going to screw you over as hard as possible since he doesn't need you any more.
Dude is phony beyond belief.
Just A Citizen says: creepy eyed tiny dancer looks like a villain from those cartoons that were on Bozo or Garfield Goose. So nothing he says and does surprises me.
Why don't he just go and jab his steak knife into the table with all his corporate friends while saying dead, dead, dead with each jerk.
...and they laughed and laughed..
Funny? Not Funny!
Did the jerk even know Letterman was from Indiana or did he just not care. You can see how well all his shots at Indiana went over the other night. Then he acts like he's gonna take Letterman's job. Insult after insult.
I'd suggest that he go take a sensitive training class but doubt that it would do any good. He just doesn't get it.
SPEND, SPEND, SPEND.
Fiscally irresponsible mayor!
It costs a fortune to formally rename a street. Businesses have to buy all new stationery, change their catalogues, get new business cards, repaint their trucks, change websites, notify their contacts and customers. The USPS has to jump through hoops, rewriting maps, reconfiguring computer and manual systems. The City has to make and hang hundreds of signs, redraw maps, change tax and zoning records for every property, business and organization.
Asinine. In a time of economic desperation, let's just wave our magic wand and - poof - it's all taken care of. Right, Rahm?
And now, this goof is insisting buildings in Chicago have to have an energy audit every three years at great expense to condo associations, businesses and taxpayers in general. (But tv studios will be exempt - don't want to anger the media.)
He's EXCEPTIONAL at spending other people's money. More and more of it each and every day.
OT
Anyone else notice that J. Richard Alsop III, the architect for the Illinois Capital Restoration, (and purchaser of the $700,000 doors) is another fine graduate of Harvard University?
He smells gold. Once those pesky pensions are out of the way and everyone is pushed onto ObamaCare there's gonna be lots of money to hand out to his friends and relatives.
You can see it in his greedy lil raccoon eyes.
And he'll win. Any viable threat will be paid off to not run or promised a good deal down the road. He'll win with ease. Anything he's done in the past doesn't matter. It's a popularity contest. The truth doesn't matter anymore. He's got the money and the media work for him.
The "cynic" smells bullshit and I'm not a farmhand.
He's a one term Gonif!
The man wants what is best for Chicago, and he has the backing of a powerful president. He needs a second term to undo all the damage the republicans caused.
Since the mid-19th Century, arterial urban streets named HALSTED, COTTAGE GROVE and STONY ISLAND are unique to Chicago.
If the pandering politicians want to rename an east/west numbered side street after this person, I could stomach it. Otherwise, go away and leave us alone.
He's a snake in the grass. He's constantly pandering to groups for his own political gain.
Did that story just make a Webster joke, talking about "Emmanuel and Lewis"?
Lewis has a chance to send Rahm packing. She's the only one with the low-hanging ones in this city that went toe-to-toe with Rahm and won. Fioretti, Waguespack and maybe a few others are not in Rahm's pocket. The proven list of potential candidates who are more than just talk is few.
This gesture at mending fences with Lewis is suspect. Are Rahm's lips moving? Then he's lying!
Vomitous.
Remember this comes from a vile,spitefull napoleon. He never deserved ANY perks the taxpayers pay for. he denies more police, fine. He should pay out of pocket for his security detail & better yet do without! Politics is NOT A CAREER! Any more than 4 years should instantly brand you as a socialpathetic thief.Stay the f--k out of Chicago, you want to tinker & change go to detroit or new orleans and stay there! GET HOME SAFE! We all depend on you to protect us.THANK YOU
::::: If the Mayor gets his way, Stony Island Avenue will be renamed Reverend Bishop Brazier Avenue.::::
Uh..Rahm, you better do some deep thinking on; 'brazier' .....
1) a portable heater consisting of a pan or stand for holding lighted coals.
2) a barbecue.
A BBQ, fricken mahvelous. Can't you hear some of the new nicknames: BBQ St, BBQ Ave, BBQ Blvd
And for the illiterate, i.e. almost everyone in Chiraq: Bra St., Bra Blvd.
So Rahm, do you really want to go there???
FLOP will Endorse
The CTU will sell out, like Shields, and he will be re-elected.
Get ready to fuck yourselves over, tax paying voting citizens of Shitcago. HAHAHAHAHA........ DUMB.
"That's a lot of fixing he seems to be attempting".
As we say here in shitcago; the fix is already in.
If Rhambo wants it, he gots it.
Im still trying to figure out how he won the first time...
The little megalomaniacal and obviously medicated from childhood, North Shore Shit-Aaa who has no "North" on his wildly spinning moral compass; does NOT have a "Fence Mending" bone in his body...
The ONLY reason he's going to try and run again is because even HE realizes that it was HE and HE ALONE who has shit on his own national aspirations...
People are starting to put two and two together about how he has managed to, by his own efforts, get chased out of both the Clinton AND Obama administrations... Two politically, spiritually and morally bereft micro-climates that people like Rahm were supposed to not only gravitate to but thrive in...
For one to get "dis-invited" from BOTH of these places?
One is inarguably qualified as a rather largish, stone-cold, one way, over-reaching, power stroking, ego-tripping, tone deaf, epically myopic jagoff.
...Just sayin'.
Rahm's thinking,reasoning and actions are actually no more elevated and evolved than that of the two-legged mutts who have clowned this city to a stand-still...
The only difference is Rahm has managed to back his way into "good fortune" not unlike how the whole of Dude Inc. dreams of hitting the "big lick."
So... "Rahm Mending Fences to Run Again" eh?
His war against The Police continues unabated...
Perhaps because the little tiny-boned manling sees The Cop as the true representative of the REAL people of Chicago.
It's no secret that Rahm has no "use" for people who aren't a catered to constituency,can think for themselves and not co-sign on whatever the hell Rahm is trying to sell (himself) or whatever his agenda (that pesky transparency thingy) for this city may be.
Rahm is wholly fixated on breaking *those old, wild-assed, out of control, bitterly clinging to their outmoded symbolic traditions cops.*
He figures he will have "Won" something...
Funny... He doesn't have the answer as to what exactly it is he will have won...
Hiya Rahm!
Took your complete and total measure as soon as you walked into the door...
The little shit-ass who got kicked out of the high class joint up the street, pigeon struts and shit-talks into shot and a beer place nursing hurt feelings, a bruised ego and a misplaced grudge...
"Yeah... You guys are gonna have to learn to bleed!"
He scans the room...
The table tucked in the back with the old guys who have the world-weary eyes.
Yeah... They'll do!

"Bishop Brazier"???
I'm still trying to figure out who the fuck was "Bishop Ford".
Leave Stony alone, you pandering piece of shit.
Rename 65th Place.
Reverend Bishop Brazier... wasn't he also known as a ghettolord? I believe there were numerous reports about him being a horrific landlord and violating laws (?)
He shits all over us! Orders CPD to cut 10% yes 10% from the budget next year, wonder what is offered or is trying to take away in next contract? Hey mike shields any news? Or are the rats around you telling you about ice cream and rainbows as they stable in the back? CFD contract the city wants them to take a 7.5% per cut, reduce manning on Trucks no duty pay, or uniform pay, no extra pay for working a holiday! Rahm is giving us not an olive branch more like an ice pick! Mcihavenoclue is all over the news touting how crime and murder is down, no doubt due to us, and we get nothing in return except, equipment that is worn, no respect from exempt rank which is way to many that just suck the pension dry, wants to take away our pension and health care!
Ill always call it Stony Island no matter what or why any politically inept fools want to do. There is no reason to rename any street, we have "honorary" signage all over the place, what makes this any different? The person the politician wants to pander to may have been a great person, and may have done many great things in their lifetime, but we don't need to change history because of it. Any individual is only part of the team.
Yeah?
Well FUCK YOU EMANUEL!!!
If you think for one fucking second any fuckin' teacher, cop, fireman, S&S worker or any other employee of this fucking city is gonna cast a single fucking vote for YOUR scumbag lying fucking northshore shitass, then you're even more fucking stupid than we all know you to be, you petulant little fucking boy.
As a fact, I can tell you that I have been, and will forever be until you are kicked the fuck out of office in 18 months, ensuring that every member of the public I come across is fully up to speed about who the fuck you are and who the fuck you represent.
And I come in contact with a lot of people, and my family is large and is also doing their part to ensure the people they come in contact with know what a fucking shitheel you truly are.
So FUCK YOU jaggoff, when you come calling, we ain't there to answer the fucking door motherfucker.
And don't bother knocking again, because we're inside laughing at your fucking ass. You fucking scumbag.
This is classic Democrat Bulls%+@! Those of you with time on the job remember when FOP told us to support Lisa Madigan's first run for office and her father would push for 80% pensions? Then when she won we got nothing. And Rev. Brazier may have been a great guy, but his greatness was parochial. Why should a street be named for someone of such narrow influence? What did he do for White folks?
Renaming streets costs taxpayer $. Save the passage cost taxpayer $ for nonsense signs, sidewalk and street repairs with little rhyme or reason. At leas if he pension $ is being spent in stupid fashion how about repairing the crumbling streets in the middle class neighborhoods that continue to be pillaged. Wouldn't make me feel better as I know I am on my own to save up for my retirement but my car wouldn't rattle like a bunch of nails in a tin coffee can.
Big surprise....I'm sure Obama will be here helping out his guy too....and everyone will be lining up again to vote for him because he's Obamas guy.....

When you say damage by republicans, you are aware that William Hale Thompson, was the last acting republican mayor in the city of chicago? His term was 1927–1931.
You must not have logged on to the university of phoenix website that day for history class.
To 2.05am: Once again blame Republicans, even though there hasn't been a Republican Mayor here since Al Capone was at the height of his power. Same with the County Board.
Thompson and Edgar were Republicans, that was the last time we had a balanced budget in Illinois
Thank you for your opinion Mr Mayor
Only in the USA do politicians cater to non productive non taxpaying citizens.
Only in USA are poor people FAT and have Xbox.
Why doesn't the mayor just make it an "Honorary" Street name? Why doesn't he just add another brown sign? I mean how many streets now have honorary status now?
I remember working in 018 one night and someone walked up to me and asked what are the brown street names were and that they were confused trying to figure it out. I explained to them how it worked. The group of them all looked at each other and laughed. I laughed too. They all just shook their heads in disbelief.
But don't worry the same company that printed up the Safe Passage Route signs will get on the new signs right away. I thought we were broke as a city? Man when I run short on cash that's just what I do. Look for more ways to piss money away.
I think John Kass might be right, he's hoping to be HIlary's running mate (V.P) in the 2016's election.
He needs to clean up his attack dog image!
I hope Hilary and Rahm both get the nod in 2016, I think that the rest of the country is so tired of home grown Chicago politicians that the Repuublicans would be salivating with Rahm on the ticket. Just a thought.
I remember when South Park Avenue was a thriving thoroughfare with well kept homes and successful businesses. They changed the name and now it's gang infested, section 8, wig shops, dollar stores, arab groceries and board ups..... Oh well...
South Park Forever!!!!!
Include Karen Lewis in a CPS function? Why ? Teachers are employees of the CPS, not the union as they think they are. The state should pass a law making it a crime to strike for teachers and for all public employees. When the teacher's union comes up with one good idea on how to educate the children, maybe they will be relevant. But, so far, their only idea is to raise taxes so there is more money for themselves. I would like to see a handful of schools turned over completely to the union to manage and see how well they actually do. Now that would be good theater.
For your consideration ...
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tXGcibQTVrA/UjHQR60hyHI/AAAAAAAAAhg/5N3c5ImYuv4/w650-h524-no/spinoch.jpg
Anything a politician does is always for himself. He'll try to appear benevolent, but it's for his own enrichment. Beware of Dumbocrats bearing gifts !!!
If you are not a registered voter, take the time and do it. The Union should organize a voter registration in every unit. The Dump Rahm bumper stickers and yard signs should be everywhere. It's up to us.
1st watch WC in 025 hasent worked past 0230 for the last two weeks! She comes in at 2100 and gone by 0230 but the desk crew will get yelled at for being 5min late and never gets an early duck God forbid! cant wait till we start swiping then we can all be equal
NO FUCKING WAY THIS ASSHOLE WILL SIT IN THAT OFFICE FOR ANOTHER TERM!
The Citizens of Chicago will NOT allow this to happen.
It is too late. He has shown his true colors. This New Trier graduate is not a friend of middle class police officers, firefighters or teachers.
Time for the Shitty Council to rename the 4200 block of North Hermitage to the "Honourable Norf Shore Napoleonic Turd Way"
is this a necessity? how many more money wasted on stupid signs. $16 million for safe passage signs on a pole. not a peep from the news media. what, have to play politics to try reserving your votes from the black sheeple this time!
"Short" up support. Was this a Freudian slip about his height or finger length? LOL
Fix this, Rahm.
Oh, I'm grabbing my junk.
Watchdogs need to pry into his past "investments", but then again, nobody seems to care how Daley pissed away the general funds. He was quoted how HE put the kibosh on a Midway Airport privatization because "it wasn't a fair deal" for the City. But Daley's Meter Deal was (for the investors).
Renaming a street is going cost big money. Its not just street signs. Just like a $60mil existing park for Maggie.
Run this phony and his 50 sock monkeys out of town.

The man (ballerina) wants what is best for himself, and he has the brick on him from the criminal socialist president who sent him packing from the White House. He wants a second term to continue the damage that the Democratic Socialist Machine has been doing for over seventy years.
When Mayor Ed Kelly renamed Crawford Avenue, it resulted in litigation. Businesses did not want the street name changed to Pulaski Road. It cost serious money to affect the change and the case took years in court before the change was approved.
This is pandering, pure and simple. Rahm is about as popular as Anthony Weiner in a Jewish bakery right now.
Funny? Not Funny!

He blamed Chicago's gun problem on Indiana. When Letterman tried to soften it, he again very firmly stated the guns are coming in from Indiana. Letterman looked dumbfounded. This was obviously not what they had rehearsed before the show.
The most laughs the segment got was AFTER Rahm left. Letterman told the story of how Rahm lost half his finger and the audience roared.
For the love of heaven, can Chicago please find a viable opponent? Is it absolutely hopeless? What does it take? This place is run more like a kingdom than a democracy.
Best use for corrupt and pandering Shitcago and Crook County politicians:

If appropriate, meat "processing" could be done with a wood chipper or a 200 gallon Cuisinart.

good read about 12 hour police shifts
This shit must stop. Now an ad hoc group from Pilsen wants to rename Blue Island Avenue into General Santa Ana Boulevard.
Can Barack Obama Parkway ("the BOP" for short) be far behind?
SCC,
Here is an interesting piece on how AR Leak and Sons Funeral Homes are profiting and expanding from Chicago's Southside homicide totals. This was in the August 5,2013 Crain's Chicago Business Journal.
What is even more amazing, is the State of Illinois, pays for the burial of these shithead gangbangers. 20% of Chicago's homicides are handled here, many at taxpayer expense. The State of Illinois pays up to $7,500 in taxpayer's money to bury these gangbangers.
I like how Mr Leak states that he doesn't want to earn his living from these homicides, but does it and complains how it takes the State of Illinois two years to pay for these funerals. Getting real fat off of the taxpayers and the misery of the hood.
Video:

Haha! He thought he'd leave Chicago behind for his White House run, but the Murder Mayor tag put a damper on his scheme, and all the little people he wasn't going to need get to vote on him one more time. And he's been treating them like used food.
BRB, making popcorn.
Rahm is unelectable! There are too many people that see the decay and death of Chicago.
All his money, power and media connections will not get him re-elected as Mayor of Chicago
Even stuffing the ballot box, electronic voting machines will do no good.
I think Rahm may be as universally disliked as Daley was in the end.
The people of this city will re-elect him too, soft as puppy poopies they are.
It is 1215 hrs and the Admin Mgr of the Academy is a no show again.
She hasn't worked a full week in months.
Wanna bet she doesn't show tomorrow either.
The man wants what is best for Chicago, and he has the backing of a powerful president. He needs a second term to undo all the damage the republicans caused.
is this a joke? please tell me your joking.
Little fucking arrogant tiny dancer weasel thinks he owns this city. Breaks every rule and not talkin about wife amy rule.
I agree with Anonymous. It is a shame that these people can be bought with a
sop such as streets named for their favorite preacher, nothing else required and this preacher, Arthur Brazier and his cohort Leon Finney are the ones responsible for the demolition of the Jackson Park L from Cottage Grove to
Stony Island because he did
not want that ugly, noisy L
in front of his brand new church at 63rd and Dorchester. It's a shame that some people can be bought with a promise or a
order of chicken wings and a
red pop. It will probably come to pass because some
people no longer have pride in themselves or their neighborhoods and the poverty pimps, a.k.a. reverend, apostle, etc. are the only ones who are prospering, aside from the boys selling dope. Yes, SCC
I find the thought of such a name change sickening, I
love the name Stony Island Avenue.
He'll sneak back in because as Anonymous posted, any decent, viable candidate will be bought off or a "stalking horse" will run
to split the vote three ways and the South and West
Siders will vote for Rahm.
He's the sitting mayor and it's their duty to vote for
him although he screws them
over and don't give a rats
behind about them.
He may be the first Mayor in Chicago to ever unite all the races for a common cause... To vote him out!! Lol!!!
Anyone who thinks he's a one-termer is wrong. He has a ton of money and , well , the voters of this city and state are the biggest idiots in America. Who's gonna beat him ? Lewis? Waugaspack? Fioretti? Gimme a break. Come election time, you'll see Barack and Michelle here all the time, while guys like Bloomberg pour huge money into his war chest. Mayor for life , if he chooses.
. . . Stony Island Avenue will be renamed Reverend Bishop Brazier Avenue.
What do you think the cost of renaming Stony Island will cost? The smaller green corner signs, and the larger ones at major intersections.
Rahm just enjoys pissing away the tax payers money. Let's not budget for it over a period of time, no, we're just going to do it.
Anything for the votes, but I'm sure he'll say it's for the kids.
From IL Supreme Court this morning
Accordingly, as the Seventh Circuit did in Moore, we here hold that, on its face, section 24-1.6(a)(1),(a)(3)(A) violates the right to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed by the second amendment to the United States Constitution.
Rahm thinks he can be re-elected? Well, then again lots of black folks voted for George Corley Wallace.
For God's sake how stupid would we be to re-elect a shit bum like this. Doesn't anyone learn their lesson in this city or did we all go to public school? MS. Lewis should not even give this reptile the time of day. This guy is as phony as Clinton and his wife, you can't get worse than that.Well maybe obunghole.
People WILL buy his bull shit and vote for him again. Sheeple
"Did the jerk even know Letterman was from Indiana or did he just not care. You can see how well all his shots at Indiana went over the other night. Then he acts like he's gonna take Letterman's job. Insult after insult."
Letterman tries to hide the fact that he's from Indiana - Hoosiers are much too provincial, ya' know. However, Rahm must be a little peeved that the people who CAN move out of Chicago HAVE, and they've moved to Whiting, Hammond and surrounds. I met and spoke to quite a few of these transplants on a recent trip to the region.
i saw rahm on david letterman what an arrogant pompous stroke, and stupid at best never served in the us military and stole 20 million dollars ,
gary chicao for mayor
Good old Rahm. Anyone stupid enough to fall for this should make a great candidate for the Anthony Weiner Award.
OT: Thanks CPD!!!

Who the f*ck is bishop brazier?
Louie Ford is a det. in B & A. That was his grandpa. Why an expwy is named after him, I have no idea.
I didn't see the tutu on tv. Did his feet touch the floor?
I'm sure there will be a nice pile of manure to toss this putz in after he loses the election.
Hoping his replacement isn't a "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" deal.
He should extend an olive branch to Karen Lewis.
He got bitch slapped, slaughtered, humiliated and proven economically incompetent.
Teachers got away again with contributing only 2% to their pension.
What a deal.
Watch, we will be up to 12% when/if a contract is reached.
If thousands of blacks left the city between 2000 and 2010 who voted for the mayor and the scary underlings?????? Think about it.....
Just like I will always call county hospital county or St. Roger. Fuck the stroger's.

I'd like to see the government, which is charged with giving every child an education, actually do so.
I am a resident of the 24th Pct. of the 43rd Ward. Since becoming eligible in college, I have voted in every primary and general election in Chicago.
At 5 PM, I stopped by a Thai restaurant and placed orders to go.
Lo and behold, the office of 43rd Ward Ald. Michele Smith, 2523 N. Halsted St., was directly next door. I decided to drop in.
Ms. Leslie Perkins greeted me at the front desk stating that Ald. Smith was not available.
As a citizen, I asked Ms. Perkins to pass on three proposals for Ald. Smith to introduce before the City Council. For all city elected officials, I proposed that there be:
(1) Term limits.
(2) A mechanism for a voter recall referendum initiative, and
(3) Reduce Chicago wards from fifty (50) to seventeen (17) based on per capita city council representation in the nation's eight other most populous cities.
Ms. Perkins assured me that she would pass my proposals on to Ald. Smith. I provided my eMail address for Ald. Smith's reply.
I must commend Ms. Perkins for NOT laughing in my face.
On a side note to Mr. Andy Shaw, Better Government Association:
Talk is cheap. Initiate petitions with the objective of placing the three above reforms on the ballot.
Damn "the Chicago Way".
The humiliating bitch slap Putin applied to Obama should make even the most clueless wonder why they voted for him. We unfortunately are stuck working for the architect of his administration in Emanuel , a truly evil twit with less morals than Putin. Does anybody miss W as much as I do now?

So my question for you is, "Are you a teacher?" I am and I teach in CPS and I am completely and fully aware that CPS is my employer and not the union. I can only wish on a shooting star that the union members (teachers) were able to "manage and see how well they (I am presuming the students) actually do." We have CPS bosses who tell us how to teach.
And I would want to invite you to spend a week with me in my special education classroom and then come home with me as I spend many more hours preparing and planning for my students. That is the only way individuals will truly understand the teaching profession unless you happen to love or care about someone who is a teacher.
Also, I fully support the police, firemen, and paramedics and all who work hard every day for this city. All of us are going to work together as one to help defeat Rahm in the next election.
and as another Anonymous said,
"If you think for one fucking second any f__ _ _' teacher, cop, fireman, S&S worker or any other employee of this f____ing city is gonna cast a single f____ing vote for YOUR scumbag lying f___ing northshore sh__a__...."
I completely agree and I got rid of the swear words because you know I am a teacher and had better set an example but thanks for making me laugh and you are so right!
Ladies and gentlemen,
you bust your ass in a shithole of a city so that you can live a decent life for you and your family. You try to live in a decent neighborhood where you feel somewhat safe and secure.
Well not so fast my friends!! The liberal thinktanks and the left wign establishment have better ideas FOR YOU!! "WE will help you reach your true inner dreams" !!

Include Karen Lewis in a CPS function? Why ? Teachers are employees of the CPS, not the union as they think they are. The state should pass a law making it a crime to strike for teachers and for all public employees. When the teacher's union comes up with one good idea on how to educate the children, maybe they will be relevant. But, so far, their only idea is to raise taxes so there is more money for themselves. I would like to see a handful of schools turned over completely to the union to manage and see how well they actually do. Now that would be good theater.
--------
It would be run extremely well. The CPS wouldn't give us this chance because they would have to eat their words and dumb ideas . You have no idea how bad this fucking city gets in our way. You want a comprehensive plan from the union? Go to www.ctunet.com. click the plan and recommendations the ctu made in 2011. Proposed to cps board and dismissed. (Look for the icon link that looks like a black and white marbled notebook). Get facts first please jag off!
All he had to do is call on his friend the Messiah to make one commercial or public appearance and the black lemmings will vote for him in droves.
Chapter 1 of Democratic Politics give free shit to people and they will vote for you forever
Be wary, very wary, of Rahm when he's attempting to make nice. Usually it's when he's setting you up for the knife in the back. He's a ruthless, egotistical asshole.
Rahm isn't interested in mending fences or letting bygones be bygones...
It. Just. Isn't. In him...
More like burning bridges...
Or even better... Lighting a movie theater on fire after chaining all the exits except for one.
He's the type to set up a firing position at the ONE unchained exit and have a leisurely time killing the shit out of everybody trying to flee the flames while laughing his little corroded ass off...
Of course, he has trouble wrapping his hot and feverish mind around why all you puny, unimportant, insignificant people aren't willing to perish in the flames he ignited.
You ingrates will learn to sacrifice all that is yours for his pleasure...
At the beginning of his run for office, Rahm said, "You're gonna have to learn to bleed..."
He meant that for...
Teachers.
Firemen.
Policemen.
Rahm doesn't give a fuck about anybody but Rahm and adding on to the $18 Million he managed to bojank from Fannie/Freddie...
Fuck you for not being fortunate like him...
Brassiere and Brazier are both pronounced the same.
Grew up right near STONY ISLAND on Blackstone when it was GREAT. Now Tiny Dancer, who never set foot in Chicago until a few yrs ago, wants to rename it Bishop whoever the fuck he is. Renamed the CALUMET EXPY after another bishop. Whoever the fuck he is. And 71st St from lake west to wherever named after emmitt tiill. Kid died in Miss. Fine. Name a street after jr. Get up off the reparation shit. Always be Calumet Expy to me moprah.
Separation of Church and State?
This is far beyond the pale; outrageous! You don't see any Chicago streets named after the late Cardinals Mundelein, Stritch, Cody or Bernadin.
Then again, this transparent doofus will try to convince SHEEPle that the street at 2900 North was named after the current Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
No memorialized rabbis either.
Check out the history of how the iconic Stony Island Avenue got it's name.
Praise the Lord that we already have a (Pres. Andrew) Jackson Boulevard.
Hey....former Congressman Weiner isn't working right now and he is a democrat and he has more 'chutzpah' than Rahm and well he has name recognition and ....well.....never mind.

How much money is it going to cost to change all those street signs, GPS maps, so on and so on? The city has the money for stadiums, parks, CTA renovations,street name changes,and safe passage,but CPD has to cut ten percent more from our budget.Call your alderman's office and request that they vote against it. This is getting ridiculous.He has no problem nickel and diming CPD.

Rahm blames Indiana for crime. According to Neighborhood scout sats Illinois had 55,247 reported violet crime incidents while Indiana had 21,626. Hmmm seems to me Illinois, namely Chicago is the problem not Indiana.
Rahm was an idiot and will always be an idiot. Can we invent a country for Lord Farrquad and get him away from Chicago?
Don't you mean "shore" up support?
any comp stat updates?
I have NEVER seen Rahm when he didn't come across as an arrogant little egotistical back-stabbing prick. All of my friends who live in other cities make fun to the guy and tell me they thank God every day that the don't live in Chicago. How embarrassing.

An Illinois lighting company with 400 employees plans to move across the state line to Kenosha — the second manufacturer in a week to say it will leave northern Illinois for Wisconsin.
Kenall Manufacturing plans to relocate its headquarters and factory from Gurnee, Ill., to a 354,000-square-foot facility to be built near I-94 along Highway 158.
Kenall makes specialty lighting equipment used in places such as hospitals, schools, parking structures and prisons. The company has been growing, and has added about 100 jobs in the last three years, said Randy Hernandez, executive vice president for operations

The owners of a manufacturing plant in western Illinois say it will close next year and moving to another part of the country.
WGIL radio reports Thursday that BOMAG will close its facility in Kewanee by the end of next year. The company makes asphalt rollers and other items in the Henry County city of about 13,000. It received incentives from the state of Illinois three years ago to consolidate its Illinois and Missouri operations in Kewanee.
The company says the plant will move to a "yet to be determined" location in the southern United States.
BOMAG officials wouldn't say how many people work at the Kewanee plant. The company says the move will help it save money and better serve its customers

Not to worry, we have that $55 million dollar Maggy Daley park and six figure copper doors and chandeliers in the state capitol because it's "necessary"
Besides, eating dog will enable the political apparatus to report that inflation is tame due to the CPI hedonic quality adjustment that states when one item is priced to high people switch to something lower cost. When you can't afford steak you switch to fish. When you can't afford fish you switch to chicken...etc..etc.. you switch to dog.
See inflation is tame. Just stop buying that other shit. haha.
Olive branch?
Heh... When Rahm showed his true colors and called Karen Lewis a derogatory name, she tore up that conference room trying to hit Rahm with it as he screamed and ran for his life from the large F/1 who spent years trying to teach feral, self-raised, weasel-wild, bad-assed, uneducable children and deal with their resolutely dysfunctional brood mares...
Rahm figured he'd call her a few names, talk crazy and she would curl up in the fetal position and cry.
Heh... Rahm wants to avenge himself by shitting on The Police now...
I am no fan of Karen Lewis. She is a big fat divisive sweat hog. Her constant cries of racism, and attempts to make us middle class tax payers pay more to educate the children of the leeches are getting real old.
Having said that Rahm and the Board of Education completely under estimated her and the CTU. I know that they can strike and we can't, which is a huge difference, but our present leaders of FOP and PBPA should take some lessons from her.
I suspect that Rahm is definitely running again and if elected will serve out his full second term. I think that the higher ups in the Democratic party have told him that neither the Presidential nomination nor the Vice Presidential nomination will be his in 2016. The democrats will run either Quinn or Daley for Governor, and talk is that Michelle Obama will run against Kirk for the senate. Right now this leaves Rahm with no place to go except to run again as mayor. As much as I dislike Emmanuel, and would never vote for him he will probably win re election. There will be no credible black candidate, because any good decent African American with a chance to win won't get party support, and any credible white or Hispanic challenger will drop out for BS reasons like Tom Dart. You may think I am full of baloney or something stronger, but remember this post in 2015.

Detroit’s collapse could happen in any city where the right conditions exist. Illinois Policy Institute CEO John Tillman said Chicago city officials should take note of the circumstances that led to Detroit’s demise.
“I lived in Detroit in the early 1980s and return often to see family and Detroit Tigers home openers,” he said. “Those who think Chicago can never go the way of Detroit are making a grave mistake. Too many comparisons are being made between the Detroit of today with Chicago of today. That is wrong. We need to look at the Detroit of 10 to 15 years ago — did it face it problems head on, honestly, and make the very difficult, transformational changes then needed? Or did it kick the can down the road until officials finally kicked it over the bankruptcy cliff? Chicago is on the same path — but eventually, reality can no longer be avoided. We still have a choice — will Illinois continue pushing much-needed reform off into the future, or will our leaders finally face the music?”
So, is Chicago heading down the same path? On Sept. 18, the Illinois Policy Institute will be hosting a panel discussion at the Union League Club of Chicago with experts from Detroit and Chicago to discuss the economic factors and policies that led to Detroit’s current situation, and what policymakers in Chicago and other cities can learn from the Motor City.
Here are some of the factors that led to Detroit’s demise:
Growing deficits — Sound financial practices, such as balancing a budget, may not be exciting. But having the discipline to honestly balance a budget and resist the urge to continue overspending means government sets priorities and makes the most of the resources it has. By contrast, large deficits, or reliance on budgetary tricks to hide spending, are clear signs of a city that’s in trouble. The ratings on a city’s bonds are one quick way to assess a community’s budget situation. Detroit’s bond ratings are junk, meaning the city is expected to default on many of its debts. Chicago’s bond ratings are declining – Moody’s Investors Service dropped its rating of Chicago’s bonds last month to A3 from Aa3, and at the time signaled that ratings are likely to go lower.
Chicago is in much better shape than Detroit, but it is getting into a potentially deadly cycle where investors consider Chicago bonds riskier and riskier. As the risk goes up, the city has to pay higher and higher rates of interest, making it harder for the city to balance its budgets.
City forced into massive layoffs — Union bosses hate to make concessions, but sometimes they really are necessary. Just like in the private sector, when an employer needs relief from costly benefits and a union refuses to allow them, the result is workers being laid off. This happened in Detroit in 1978 when the police officers’ union demanded, and eventually got, an expensive cost-of-living allowance. Over the next few years Detroit laid off nearly a quarter of its police force, and crime rates shot up dramatically — 1978 may have been the turning point in Detroit’s collapse.
Chicago is already seeing something similar in its public schools. Last fall’s teacher strike ended with a contract including hefty raises that Chicago Public Schools, or CPS, cannot afford. Facing a billion-dollar deficit, CPS laid off more than 2,400 teachers since it inked the new contract.
Breakdown of basic services — Detroit’s police force is emaciated – it takes an hour on average for police to arrive after a call, and fewer than one out of eight murders were solved in 2012. But the failure of Detroit’s basic services was made obvious during the Devil's Night fires, which were devastating physically and absolutely crushed the morale of city residents. City officials knew what was coming, but were powerless to stop it.

Well...maybe in certain 'hoods in Chicago but not in the rest of the English speaking world.
--- Brassiere is pronounced with an 'ah', a short 'a'.
--- Brazier is with an 'ay', a long 'a', like in Gray, Pay, Say.
Native Chicagoans are not exactly known for pronunciation and public speaking. John Kass wrote an article on 'Chicagoisms' years ago. (Hunert, Over By Dare, Goin To Da Jewels, etc).
Teachers’ strikes are illegal in (37) states
States where teachers’ unions can legally call strikes
California
Colorado
Idaho
Illinois
Louisiana
Minnesota
Montana
Ohio
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Vermont
Some exceptions to the rule
In Maryland, teachers are allowed to strike on their own. This is extremely rare, however, because unions can’t authorize a strike. Occasionally, we know teachers’ unions in Maryland have instituted “work to rule” conditions for teachers, where they work from the start of school to the final bell but provide no other services for students. Before unions were prohibited from authorizing strikes, Baltimore teachers went on strike for a month in 1974, primarily over class sizes and working conditions. City officials pretended schools were still open so as not to lose funding, according to a report in the Baltimore Sun.
In the state of Washington, teachers don’t face any legal action if they decide to strike, but their jobs aren’t protected during a strike. That is, they can be fired, making a “strike” little more than job abandonment.
Striking by teachers is completely illegal in 37 states
Whoever won the Chicago teachers’ strike, however you analyze it, one thing we know: students lost—they lost hours and seven days of instruction, they lost confidence in the public schools to provide a safe environment, conducive to learning, and especially for young students, they lost the excitement of a new school year.
Why would we care what the WC in 025 or the administrative manager at the academy does?

This is far beyond the pale; outrageous! You don't see any Chicago streets named after the late Cardinals Mundelein, Stritch, Cody or Bernadin.
I am OPPOSED to pandering for votes by naming a street for Brazier, but the Jesuits have done well enough. Loyola Avenue on the North Side is obvious enough, but the former Robey Avenue was renamed Damen Avenue to honor a Chicago based Jesuit priest who was active in Holy Family Parish and a St. Ignatius High School and College, which later moved North and was renamed Loyola.
Bishop Ford Freeway? I don't think so. It will always be the Calumet Expressway to me.

No one agrees with you and the CTU, not the federal government, not the independent associations and not the news media. This " plan" is just hyperbole.Her comments are racist in which she blames rich white people for the problems with the children and calls for less white teachers in the system. You want reform? More school choice, eliminate senority and ban strikes. The CTU is a bloated bureaucracy. Lewis wants the teachers to live in the school's community and " speak the same language" The CTU makes half hearted demands for things other then an increase in pay and benefits but then leaves it at that, just a minor demand, no follow-up. The CTU does not spend any time fighting for classroom autonomy. It is all smoke and mirrors. And, by the way, I take it you are a teacher, but cannot make a discussion and resort to name calling. I

Seeing as how Richy went way out of his way to remove everything in this city that had Jane Byrne's name on it, I suggest this:
Rename the 0-100 block of West Washington St to Jane Byrne Street. Then forevermore the Richard J Daley Center will officially have the address of 50 W. Jane Byrne Street. I think that is only fitting and should be done while mumbles is alive and can be invited to the dedication.

@The CTU does not spend any time fighting for classroom autonomy. It is all smoke and mirrors. And, by the way, I take it you are a teacher, but cannot make discussion so you resort to name calling.
-----------
Bravo... I take it you are a detective. The CTU cannot fight for classroom autonomy because it does not run the school system or make policy. Unions defend their workers and advocate for them. They do not advocate for the students. The CPS is so backasswards, that the union has gone beyond their intended role to advocate for students and parents. There is the social issue of poverty. That cannot be fixed by teachers, schools, police, jail or other.
There needs to be accountability for students and parents! Parents that are 27 years old and have 14 and 16 year olds in my class. Single mothers, no fathers, no support.
It is like the police being evaluated by the amount of crime in their district. Too much crime (bad test scores) your fired. I say fuck that. That Is not fair. The same kids I teach are the same kids shooting up this city, or living with the crime around them. (Those 7 days of instruction you cried about, did not hurt the kids. The other 358 days a year hurt them when nobody outside the classroom knows what goes on). The teachers working conditions are the students learning conditions. And we cant go home with them and make them do homework or not act like jagoffs. That is the parents job.
You say no one agrees with me, so you agree that the federal government and private corporations with zero background in education know better. When those two stop pandering to the poor and giving free shit for nothing to ensure votes and consumer base, then come talk to me about who agrees with who.
I know now that you are not a policeman or a city employee. You sound too knowledgeable and passionate about destroying government unions. Apparently, you haven't been around long, or you go to work in a bubble and don't see the stupidity in charge of all the city department s.
There is your discussion ass face. I am never to old to resort to name calling. Way to try and sound educated on a blog. You have to be a troll or mole for the city.
Chicago already has a street named after both of the revs at 1432 West--BISHOP STREET.
According to my CTU insider, another perk for several CPS teachers will soon be gone. Due to amount of teachers losing their jobs this year, CPS teachers and select staffers in special need basis areas and hired after November 20, 1996 will ALL Have to live in Chicago.
So, all of those CPS teachers and staffers who don't reside in Chicago and who were hooting and hollering "Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, Rahm Emmanuel Has to Go!" during the strike will finally get their chance to vote Rahm out of office as Chicago voters if they want to keep their jobs.

9/13/2013 11:51:00 PM
Yes, there you go, more name calling and then repeating as fact something that is proven to be not true. Teachers can negotiate for working conditions which includes changes in the education system. But, they don't want that just as they are trying to shut down choice in other states by bribing the legislature. Teachers have a vested interest in keeping the education system just as it is and that is by raising taxes where most people cannot pay.The democrats in Illinois take plenty of money from the CTU and don't have the guts to make the required changes. And, I did spend 10 years in the classroom. It was a taxing job and most are not meant for this career. But, that does not justifythe self serving CTU. School choice is the only way to go and the only way to educate out youth.
@ 11:19 am Mr. or Mrs. School choice, Bruce Rauner? Is that you?...
Again, you're wrong, but I won't call you a name this time because you'll get butt hurt. You spent 10 years in a classroom. Yippee, you didn't say where and I don't care...you couldn't hack it, agree its hard and yet want to jam me and other city workers up buy peddling your bullshit.
You did not address poverty or parenting. Pretty key components. The rest is you trying to step on our dick.
