Bundle Up
- After several inches of snow fell Sunday morning, the next winter weather story is the start of what could be the longest stretch of subzero temperatures the Chicago area has seen in decades.
A winter weather advisory is in effect from 3 a.m. Sunday to 6 a.m. Monday, as the snowstorms are expected to be followed by winds increasing Sunday afternoon to about 30 mph, with 40 mph gusts, with some snow expected as well.
Highs Sunday reached the lower 30s, but Sunday night, temperatures will begin to drop, falling to between 2 and 6 degrees below zero with wind chills around 35 degrees below zero. A wind chill warning is in effect from 3 a.m. Monday through 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Safety first boys and girls.

I'm sure the tactical TVB boys in 007 will be doing their real police work despite the dangerously cold weather.
... But what about the contact cards!?
Good news for the pension fund. All you scammers on disability are finally getting what you deserve. FBI has the files as we speak. That usually means arrests will be coming soon.
It's true that global warming is worse than expected this winter. It's our punishment for driving all those cars and SUVs instead of taking public transportation, or riding a bicycle.
I've pretty much had it with this weather. The only people who like this weather are the people with snowmobiles, backyard ice rinks, and McCrimeStats. Although, there was another shooting where a 15yr old was killed tonite. Only 54 days til spring.
"longest stretch of sub-zero temperatures in decades"???? r u hitting that crack pipe a little too often? Its going to be sub zero for 1 day then 5 degrees the next and 17 by wed. Soooooo scary boys and girls!

Take public transportation?? The CTA? METRA? Get real.
Someone sneezes and the signaling and tracks get messed up on METRA. Trains are always late.
As for the CTA, I don't ride in enclosed cars where others seem to think it is ok to take a dump.
Water Mains will break and Power outages Be danger of fire
Do a Contact Card on Al Gore or Tom Skilling...
Seriouly, who would you rather talk to about the weather?
...or maybe John Coleman, Harry Volkman or P. J. Hoff?

IAD watching 26 Court filming watchout
It was soooo cold, I saw a Democrat with his hands in his own pockets!
Hiioooooooh!
It was sooo cold I saw an exhibitionist in boys town merely describing himself.
Hiiooooh!
Reconoitter a spot with very little visibility from without and test your car heater with light turned out and radio very low. Not hidin'....just resting. Stay warm in the car and , like they say, don't go out unless you have to! Watch out for each other ; every thing else can be coded out.
Does anyone know if there is a court date coming up in the FOP lawsuit against Google? It would be a good idea for as many coppers as possible to be there, to show our support for this case and so that everyone knows where the real police stand: against these bastards from Google and their efforts to screw us.
Weather travel warning due to snowfall and bad road conditions.
They suggest that anyone traveling in the current icy conditions should ensure they have the following:
Shovel
Blankets or sleeping bag
Extra clothing including hat and gloves
24 hours worth of food
De-Icer
Rock Salt
Flashlight with spare batteries
Road Flares or Reflective Triangles
Full gas Can
First Aid Kit
Booster cables
I looked like an idiot when I got on the bus this morning! ....
Slightly off topic.....while its so cold you need the thickest jacket you own lets nit forget the boots. The boots not because of all the added snow but because of all tithe added bullshit being thrown around by our own members (active, retired, and on disability) running for FOP. I have listen to more accusations by BD at DA and then even more by Dean back at Bill. Lets not forget that all of the accusations are not facts. The facts are that DA was with Nolan during a time when we....the body were stompped on by those who were supposed to ptotect us....money was flying everywhere where, incluging paying for nights out on the town on our dime and it was covered up. Funny thing DA thinks that we have forgotten, well we haven't. The only guy who talked about real issue has been McD......so far no bones have fallen out of his closet nor has he made accusations without proof. Hey DA that list you passed around had two running mates on it who's names were not highlighted ......what you thought we couldn't read. You are a little fake take you B.S. and peddle it somewheres else over by dare. You think, talk, walk and act like a little monster always scamming...cant work, can work in store, can't work, can teach, can't work, can run union.....NOT............ your team has two people not drinking your kool -aid and they have said so.
This is what the Farmer's Almanac predicted ~ a brutal winter!
The funniest thing is in Area 1 they had to bring in portable air conditioners because the dumbass building engineers turn the heat up so high on the weekends it gets to be 85 degrees in the office.
buck up!!!
if you grew up in the 70's and 80's this is what chicago winters were all about....
grow a pair...then keep em warm!!
Just love how we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for cars. I'm surprised they haven't rigged up some by using those wrecks stored in 025.
sub zero temps?!!, the creeping hand of frozen death, film at 11!!!! what is with all this fuckin drama?? has everybody just turned into a bunch of pussies?? c'mon, most of us grew up here and went through those nasty winters of the late 70's-early 80's. and a few of those cold snaps lasted a coupla weeks, not 48 hrs. fuck where all the cowboys went, where are all the supposed hearty midwesterners? cowering under blankets eating nachos and tweeting/facebooking? you all make me want to puke, fucking nancy-boys.

The FBI locked up a bunch of NYPD and NYFD recently for scamming the 9/11 healthcare fund committed to first responders. Good riddance.
Just make sure you get a couple of contact cards and ANOVs. There is no holiday for crime.

Guys follow these cold weather auto maintenance tips: 1. Fill up your entire gas tank. Don't leave it partially or like 80% empty. You need as much fuel as possible so if God forbid your car gets a flat tire, etc.. you can still have the heat on. In the winter time you will have to wait a long time for a tow truck. 2. In your car have jumper cables, blanket, perishable food like granola bars. Take water with you also. 3. Take a cell phone charger and also one of those portable battery charger for your cell phone. 4. Always let your relatives or friends know where you are heading and which road you are taking.
My daughter's life was spared two years ago. She lives in Dallas and went to school in Austin. In inclement weather her car slipped off the road and went into a ditch. She was stuck in her car. Thankfully daddy taught her to always know where she was at. So when she called 911 she mentioned she was between mile market 111 and 118. Knowing where she was saved her life.

The TVB boys in 025 1st watch will be hard at it also. Rain nor sleet nor dangerous wind chills can stop them. Even pending jobs, domestics and paper jobs on their own beat can't stop them from getting that all important TVB.
don't worry, this is chicago--- it will probably be 60 degrees next week---
Foot chase? Forget it, not worth it in this weather. They'll mess up again. Sister of a cop.
Stay safe, go home to your families like you left them, in one piece.
Come on, this is Chicago and it is January. Typical that the media blows this out of proportion to take our attention off bigger problems in this country.
(OT) if they don't give first responders a pension the bulls protests will pale in comparison. The elite political class stole our money and gave it away to family and friends, hey rahm the 600 Million better be there, the city stole from us the coppers and firefighters and paramedics who gave their bold for this corrupt city/state/county now you have to cut some bullshit programs, stop the DePaul nonsense, prioritize the pension!

Not a cop but I will predict crime will be way down as shitbird doesn't like the cold. Come the first days of warm temperatures it'll be a different ballgame.
To superintendent "government sponsored racism", you're full of crap. Temperature does influence crime.
Dear FOP,
Why do I have to work side jobs to help pay for tuition for my kids due to overtime initiatives being limited (yes VRI is whoring but...at least if I fall or get hurt I'm covered by the city unlike my civilian side job) yet they don't open up airport OT initiative while people assigned there are allowed to work consecutive days?
Love,
Overworked and underpaid
Are the wheels falling off the citywide team bus?
Mark Donahue told numerous roll calls that it was a strategic decision not to send in the letter (i.e. it was ok to screw the membership in order to get the citywide team back in control). After he has received a lot of blow back his story is changing.
Billy Dougherty has told roll calls numerous revisions:
1. I did not know the letter was not signed.
2. It was not my job to make sure the letter was signed.
3. I could not sign the letter.
4. I would not have signed the letter even if I knew it was not signed.
5. It was Mark Donahue’s job to train Shields not mine.
Now Mark Donahue is accompanying Dougherty to every roll call he goes to. They now do not trust each other and are afraid that the other one will sell them out. Interesting.
I also heard at VRI that the roll calls in 025 all walked out on the citywide team. The wheels are falling off fast. Sid Davis is now trying to distance himself from the rest of the citywide ticket. But all vets know that Davis and Dougherty are married at the hip. Any vet will never vote for Davis agian or Dougherty either. Davis now says it was a big mistake to run retired Sgt Mike Voight for trustee.
New rumor is that Billy Dougherty and Tommy McMonagh have made a side bar pack that which ever one finishes 3rd will support the other in a run off. Who ever wins will appoint the other as a Field Rep. Aguliar is retiring 15 April 2014 and DiMaria is leaving shortly after he sworn in so if Billy somehow by a act of god got elected he has openings for Tommy.
God Bless everyone working back in Chicago.
Just a thought...
Will Chicago be ready when all this snow melts and floods the sewer and drainages system?
There could be hell to pay down south along the Mississippi River in cities like Vicksburg MS, and New Orleans LA when all this white stuff melts.
A crisis Rahm won't let go to waste.
heh-heh. a lot of dick waving going on over there...
minus one w/ 30 mph wind gust == outdoor roll call.
boss your insecurities are showing
19 days till pitchers and catchers report.

Bundle up also get ready for fop elections? We can only hope any problems or issues are exposed on the candidates before the election so we can have a chance to elect and not have to throw anyone out ala mike shields! Looks like some of the goofs running have issues even some going after active coppers via the disciplinary process! In the proper forum they will be exposed! Those coppers should never be elected and should hang their heads in shame!
Bundle up my ass....no one tells me what to do.
SCC...its NOT global warming...its climate change! Look around you..it IS happening!

There really are some pussies on this job!!! What the hell happened to CPD. WTF!!!! It's cold. It's really cold. Waaaaaa!!!! Grow a sack. This job sucks bad with all these pussies!!!!
You are suppose to be the toughest of the tough. Act like Chicago Cops and not 8 year old school girls. You need to leave this job if you can't handle the cold. My Grandma is from the Ukraine who happens to be 78 years old was shoveling snow yesterday. If it's too cold for you Snd you can't handle it move to Mexico.
yea watch the working police steal an hour , when will iad watch the xo's
do the xo's swipe in and out , heck no
double standard , $130k a year to work short hours , work out , check stocks , watch tv on company time
another useless title
sergeants always did and now have authority to run district patrol without the useless captain , xo rank
I'm moving to Texas. Fuck this State and City.
I prefer the cold. Keeps everyone in the house.

They are cowering under ELECTRIC blankets.
Me, I'm running the water faucets like mom and dad taught me to do when the temps go below zero. I leave the doors to the sink cabinets open, to get heat from the room. I'm covering the one bad window with plastic sheeting.
And I'm using the car at least once a day, which warms up the car and which keeps me from becoming a prisoner in the house just because it's cold out. Gloves, people! And a warm coat. Winter in Chicago.

Would someone please tell the Dean Angelo team to distance themselves from Lt. Garrido and his Facebook cheerleading. He is not doing this group any service by backing them. Why does Garrido care so much if they win? Doesnt he have his own Lt. Union that he can run and lose another election for?
Grow a pair!!!!
The only one I trust and know for FOP Vice President is Bobby Bartlett from SWAT. Awesome Cop!! Trustworthy, honest, and super smart with no agenda. Citywide Team you cannot be trusted. Get 'em Bobby!!!!

Good, the scammers are why everyone including the legit guys get tied up by the Finance Committee for even the most obvious of duty related injuries.
All this cold is giving me major shrinkage, I got to make up the difference with a sock.
Some of you are real first class pussies.
Back in the late seventies we had real winters. 80 inch snowfall years.
I used to shovel the whole block with a spoon then I went two doors down and banged the McGuire sisters. All eight of them.
You don't know how hard we had it!

Easy junior..... There is no lawsuit against Googlea nand they aren't fucking over the police, it's just to OBTAIN information , go back to sleep or read the court filing.
No iPhones being snatched today. I wonder why?
I was working back in the early 80's when we had 4 or 5 winters in a row of brutal cold. Feb of '82 was the worse; two consecutive weeks of temps 25-30 degrees blow zero. Homeless dying by the truckload and people stranded in their cars in the outlaying rural areas dying as well. No cell phones or GPS back then.

Dear Dean Angelo's intern:
Please get your facts straight. There are no back room deals except the ones your boss made with the Mayor to allow us to start paying for our Healrhcare. I also curious why you keep running on a platform of eliminating positions when you know that won't go into effect until the next term. We all know you won't do that since you are going to hand the keys to the FOP to your son midway through your tem aka Stroger.
Will Napolean and McFailure take credit for Mother Nature keeping the lid on crime? It's too fricking cold for even the Beast to operate.
About the FOP, elect anyone other than Bill Dougherty. He's been in that office for the last 12 years which we have averaged less than 2.5% a year in raises while the teachers have averaged over 3.75% yet that goof made over 150k each year.
You softies don't know how to dress... Stop your crying... Spend that leftover communion money for proper winter gear...
Firstly... Any supervisor that screams about ANY Copper blousing their boots is a goof.
He'll be the same one in your ass like cheap tissue jaw-jacking about a uniform infraction write-up because you grew a salt ring around the cuff of your trousers.
They're out there...
Good waterproof boots can run about $200-$300.
Stout wool socks about $15 a pair.
Midweight silk long johns $75-$100.
2nd layer of mid weight synthetic long johns with a plush/wicking fabric to pull perspiration away from the silk which is a wicking fabric itself.
Baklava/head cover/dickie with a nose/mouth vent.
The trick is layering/wearing clothing that doesn't bind and restrict movement... Think of stuff that will keep you warm even when damp...
Cotton thermals are a hypothermia/death sentence if you're stranded somewhere.
The only cotton you should have on is an outer garment that's been boiled in oil/wax treated to repel wind and water.
One-Finger mittens with a water/wind proof glove liner if you're doing things that require manual dexterity...
You're only as good as your clothing in weather like this.
Especially Coppers...
Please... Stay safe. Stay warm. Stay hydrated but avoid coffee beverages and eat dense stuff like hearty meat and vegetable stews.
P.S.
Field strip and lube those weapons and handcuffs... More fabric = more lint and other crud.
To quote and old T/F guy we knew, you want that weapon "clean as a cat's ass."
Yeah... That goes for you Revolversaurus Police too!
Who is the asshole boss in the home of Miley Shields that refused to let FOP candidates address the troops, hey asshole try reading 17.7 of my contract before you go violating my collective bargaining rights....
When is Aguilar and DiMaria retiring?.. Better question is Mark Donahue going to stay on as the $85,000 a year lobbyist and a board member so he will vote for his own contract! don't be fooled by these people
VOTE SMART AND VOTE!!!!!!!!

Been too quiet Dean. It has been surprising that so many members have issues with electing you and certain members of your ticket. Campaign trail can get a little bumpy at times.
Off Topic, I recently heard that a couple officers on disability were recently followed by private investigators in the last year and are now being forced to retire or be charged criminally?
I want to know what these officers were found doing by the private investigators.

AMEN.
CPD Cops used to be like Lee Marvin, Broderick Crawford and Jack Webb on the street.
25-plus years ago, I remember seeing a big Polish cop (6'4-6'5) walking in Chinatown with a .357 that must of had a 10" barrel. (Seriously) No one screwed with that guy - He was like the Batt Masterson of Chinatown. You could see his head above everyone else's on the sidewalk.
Now we have creampuffs like Pauly Shore, Queen Latifah, and Rosie O'Donnell flitting around.
WTF?? It all comes from the top - get a role model, like Patton, not the current Cliff Claven from the East Coast.
So tired of seeing CPD getting run down.
To Team Angelo: Thank you for your BS attack on Dougherty/McDonagh. Rather than just tell lies, why don't you all explain exactly why each and every one of you voted to allow Mikey to pick his own committee to hear charges against him? And while you are at it, please explain why each and every one of you Angelo team members on the Board voted to find Shields not guilty of the charges. Shields did not send the letter, and you Angelo guys all gave him a pass. Shame on you.
If you are being paid to be at court at least be in the building. Just a heads up. I think they call it theft as in the felony type.
Of course, the asses at the Sun-Times chose today to run an editorial on the reality of "Global Warming" that included a photo of Al Gore.
The libs cannot let go of their schemes to limit the use of automobiles and the myth of man made global warming.
When will their nonsense stop? Tom McDonagh, Dean Angelo, and now the CityWide team have put up campaign posters up in the stations.
BUT the CityWide Team posters do not have the union label (bug) on them. They were done on the cheap by the CityWide Team.
Couldn't the lawyers who are funding the citywide team put up 10% more to use a union print shop. The Citywide guys could all be called scabs for not using union printers.
My son's 2nd half of high school tuition is now due, my property tax bill came today, and my daughter need braces. And the asswipes from the citywide team are handing out window scrapers. Thanks for screwing us out of 6.1% in the last contract and 2% already out of this one trying to get Shield out of office. Yea you fucked him over but in the process you screwed all of us too!

And FUCK the tribune for adding unnecessary and irrelevant info to an otherwise GREAT story. Whorish parasitic merchants of SLIME

Wake up. Time to take your meds. Where oh where do you come up with this bullshit?
Fact. Donahue told you that that little prick Shields told the Board that it was a tactical decision not to send the letter. Don't believe me? Take a look at Shield's September FOP Newsletter article where he says this in print. His words nobody elses. Last paragraph of the opening story where he states he would have done things differently if. http://chicagofop.org/newsletter/2013/092013news.pdf
Fact. I work in 025 and you are full of shit plain and simple.
Fact. I know Sid Davis. I called him to verify your comments. Again, you are full of shit plain and simple.
You're fucking pathetic. Now go get your shine box.
Dear Overworked and Underpaid,
Funny that you blame the FOP because you cannot live within your means. Do like I did. Make do with a used car. Cut the cable. Maybe have your better half get a job.
I'm wondering who forced you to take this shitty job that doesn't pay you enough money.
Love,
One of your co-workers who knows how to live on what he makes.
the 15 yoa killed in the Little Village neighborhood kicks off the more shootings season!
Before the police department I worked construction and on the railroad, both outside all winter. The police was a warm job for me. No complaints. A nice warm car was fantastic. Come on, toughen up.

I was working back in the early 80's when we had 4 or 5 winters in a row of brutal cold. Feb of '82 was the worse; two consecutive weeks of temps 25-30 degrees blow zero. Homeless dying by the truckload and people stranded in their cars in the outlaying rural areas dying as well. No cell phones or GPS back then.

Go after the individuals at the FOP who help the scammers who show them how to SCAM the system !!!
AMEN.
CPD Cops used to be like Lee Marvin, Broderick Crawford and Jack Webb on the street.
25-plus years ago, I remember seeing a big Polish cop (6'4-6'5) walking in Chinatown with a .357 that must of had a 10" barrel. (Seriously) No one screwed with that guy - He was like the Batt Masterson of Chinatown. You could see his head above everyone else's on the sidewalk.
Now we have creampuffs like Pauly Shore, Queen Latifah, and Rosie O'Donnell flitting around.
WTF?? It all comes from the top - get a role model, like Patton, not the current Cliff Claven from the East Coast.
So tired of seeing CPD getting run down.-------------------------============================
I remember the copper and 25 years ago, we "Ruled" the night. There was another Polish dick in Gangs/A-4, he also carried a 44 mag and I always had a great laugh with him. He did not play on the W/S. When we out there with him, the streets cleared.
Now, we got midget from "Little people-Big world."
It really appears all us wheel-gun copper' have all about retired. We did try and train the new police in how to handle the shit, few listened.
Carried a wheel gun, but always had my 45.cal auto with three extra clips in the pocket.
We worked CD and when we got out of the car, we did not look like robo cop.
Our pistols were concealed and the only thing we had in our hand was our "kel-lite" or an axe handle. We got respect and gave it back in the hood and had a million laughs with hood laughs.
Been retired for a couple and have not seen a CPD squad rushing to call with lights and siren ! What is that all about.
Please, new police, try and do some good in-between crying about the job.
Tac guys !! How bout not wearing you patol duty belt, you look let chumps.
It seems like the only copper' not crying are the area dicks. Proves they are still the best !!

OT-The Chicago Tribune is a piece of shit. They publish a great story of 2 PO's who saved a 72 year old woman. But why leave it a positive story of Chicago Police doing a heroic act. They have to slap the police department in the last line. After reporting the Police Officer who saved the woman was Terry Abbate, then they go one to state Terry Abbate is the brother of Anthony Abate who drunkenly beat a female bartender. Fucking press are all fucking jagoffs.

Are the wheels falling off the citywide team bus?
Mark Donahue told numerous roll calls that it was a strategic decision not to send in the letter (i.e. it was ok to screw the membership in order to get the citywide team back in control). After he has received a lot of blow back his story is changing.
Billy Dougherty has told roll calls numerous revisions:
1. I did not know the letter was not signed.
2. It was not my job to make sure the letter was signed.
3. I could not sign the letter.
4. I would not have signed the letter even if I knew it was not signed.
5. It was Mark Donahue’s job to train Shields not mine.

Hey jerkoff. The teachers took one unpaid furlough day this year. Think its only gonna stay one? Guess again.

The trick is layering/wearing clothing that doesn't bind and restrict movement... Think of stuff that will keep you warm even when damp...

There is a difference between medical roll abuse and being put on permanent disability. You are talking about medical roll abuse, which can be reported to IAD anonymously as theft.
The post here, however, was referring to disability, which is granted by and paid for by our pension fund.

Talking about two different things. Disability comes from the pension fund and is long term. Medical roll scams the City and if the City lets you get away with it, shame on the City.
And what about the officers who say "There's a couple of real gems out of 019 that have been on the medical for nearly every part of their body" and do nothing? Why don't you go and put in a complaint about these officers scamming the system? Do you think there is some magic unit somewhere waiting to catch those stealing from the medical roll? There isn't. You go to IAD and complain about those scammers. Fuck them, set them up, whatever you have to do. Encourage others to do likewise. That's how to get officers to quit stealing from the medical roll. Peer pressure.

You already know the salary of the people upstairs in the office. The rest of them, the trustees, make a $600 per month stipend plus a smaller amount for each committee meeting, $50 or $75. The immediate past president (Donahue) also gets a stipend, at least $600 a month, in addition to his pay as lobbyist.

Good arctic weight mil spec polypropylene long underwear, tops and bottoms. They are great, not heavy or bulky but I have never got cold with those. Don't buy natural fabrics, the polypropylene works best. It wicks moisture out and is a great insulator. Don't wear any other fabric next to your skin, the polyprop goes next to your skin. The Army came up with this shit to keep soldiers warm in sub zero weather. I used it on motorcycle trips in cold weather. Use it at work. The only problem is when you go inside, gets too warm.
New rumor is that Billy Dougherty and Tommy McMonagh have made a side bar pack that which ever one finishes 3rd will support the other in a run off. Who ever wins will appoint the other as a Field Rep. Aguliar is retiring 15 April 2014 and DiMaria is leaving shortly after he sworn in so if Billy somehow by a act of god got elected he has openings for Tommy.

No, but you do need a question mark.
Speaking of January in Chicago reminds me of two things growing up, CFD responding to calls with guys riding the tailboard because the cabs of the rigs only had room for the company officer and the engineer, and the officers assigned to the Loop traffic. They were out there no matter what and I never heard one cry about it. I can still hear their traffic whistles. We could learn a lot from people like these.
Looks like Billy Boy Dougherty is getting worried. After spending 2 weeks on the desk in 022 he is openly telling people that he can't go back to making what the regular cops make.
He is posting on this blog night and day to tell people how bad the other guys are. It's not working Billy Boy 12 years is way too long to be in the union office!

Another example of the nanny state,
"Several aldermen, pointing to the burden placed on parents, called for a change in policy that would leave school doors open for kids to use the gym or participate in art projects.
“I understand why school’s closed. But do you have any idea where my kids can go?” asked Ald. “Proco” Joe Moreno (1st).
Ald. Rey Colon (35th) said: “Even the polar vortex doesn’t change the fact that parents still have to go to work.”

Feds cant do anything unless its a federal crime. No way is a state or city pension a federal crime. Guys in NY got jammed up because they were retired from NYPD , but then collected Social Security disability benefits, which is a federal crime. The feds also have a pattern of the disabilities where all the officers used the same lawyers, doctors and front men, totally differnet than our disability
Off Topic, I recently heard that a couple officers on disability were recently followed by private investigators in the last year and are now being forced to retire or be charged criminally?
I want to know what these officers were found doing by the private investigators.

1/27/2014 06:20:00 PM<<<
There has been water, there has been snow like this before. There also have been ice jams and massive floods of low laying cities and large area of farm lands. Now if the Department of the Interior and the Corps of Engineers is up for it they should be ready for the melt off when it comes and not be overwhelmed by it.
But maybe massive flooding is part of the plan, like what Larry the Cable Guy said about Cajuns with New Orleans, the levees and hurricanes.
"...I would like to state for the record that I disagree with that assessment that Cajuns are stupid. Anybody who would build a city 5 feet below sea level in a hurricane zone and fill it with Democrats who can't swim is a genius".
But Obama is ready for this; he will just blame George Bush.

Hey grandpa glad you expanded your research to make it slightly more accurate. The point they were making was that it has never been 25-30 below zero for 2 consecutive weeks or 2 consecutive days.

So where's the research about the 2 weeks of 25-30 below zero in Feb '82? That's what I thought because it didn't happen. Your memory doesn't match the facts.
OT- The brass heard from all the guys beefing that copper' were ducking early. Here it is.
Seeing the swipe machines are useless, EVERYONE will sign in and time stamp when you get in and leave at the end of tour.
Fool proof, don't even try to circumvent this simple sign in. Play games, and you just might get 30-pending.
This includes everyone, except the cmdr.
The sheet must be faxed and CPD mailed within 3 hours of tour end.
If you fail/forgot to sign out, you will take 1-3 days !
Caution - Don't even attempt to sign your friends out.
People will be taking a lot of time by trying to beat this system.
This came about by no arrests by tac/narcotics the last four hour into tour. The Supt is livid and wants this done ASAP. Also, the eye is the sky will be watching for violations. It appears that N/S districts were found to lead the pack in early ducks.
It also was noted that the beat guys are far from responsible of ducking early.
Don't risk catching a major beef on this issue guys. Bad beef (CR) to have in your pers. file.
Man, it's really cold in Chicago in January. Who the hell would have thought that? We should stay in and not work. That's the socialist message. If it's too cold, stay home and keep the kids home.
Pussies. If you put on more than a fucking tutu for your ballerina lifestyle you would be able to brave the fucking elements.

Another example of the nanny state,
"Several aldermen, pointing to the burden placed on parents, called for a change in policy that would leave school doors open for kids to use the gym or participate in art projects.
“I understand why school’s closed. But do you have any idea where my kids can go?” asked Ald. “Proco” Joe Moreno (1st).
Ald. Rey Colon (35th) said: “Even the polar vortex doesn’t change the fact that parents still have to go to work.”

Some ideas for the clueless aldermen:
1. Take your kids to work with you.
2. Stay home and burn a sick day.
3. Know the names and phone numbers of your children's friends and their PARENTS. Call around. Put together a group that will step up when this rare event occurs. If Susie's dad is taking the day off to mind his two kids, maybe he likes you enough to watch your two kids, as well.
4. Ask your retired mom or dad to mind your kids.
5. Drop your kid (age sensitive here, you have to make the call) at the library and then work a half day or a shortened day. All my friends went to the library after school til our working parents got home three hours later and we got a lot of homework and leisure reading done that way.
6. In other words, use your brain and your associations and put something together. Is there a YMCA in your neighborhood? A boys/girls club? A church center? Be a parent and think for yourselves.

Wheel gunners Do Rule!...
It's not about the hardware, it's the attitude...
As I believe Lawman Wyatt Earp said, "In a gun fight... You need to take your time in a hurry."
Stay Safe. Make every shot count...
Feds cant do anything unless its a federal crime. No way is a state or city pension a federal crime. Guys in NY got jammed up because they were retired from NYPD , but then collected Social Security disability benefits, which is a federal crime. The feds also have a pattern of the disabilities where all the officers used the same lawyers, doctors and front men, totally differnet than our disability
It is when you sign that federal tax return for the fed tax exemption.

Or you use USPS snail mail to commit your criminal act.
Hey grandpa glad you expanded your research to make it slightly more accurate. The point they were making was that it has never been 25-30 below zero for 2 consecutive weeks or 2 consecutive days. Love when old timers exaggerate everything from 30 years ago. As a reward why don't you put two pumps of Bosco in your warm milk tonight.

Lol, this is a tough room.
Maybe my memory wasn't dead-on about that Feb of 1982 but it doesn't change the FACT is was ass-freezing COLD during those winters in the early to mid 80's. More people freezing to death on the streets and broken down vehicles (due to COLD) then in the years after.
Maybe you hair-gel fucks should stop taking yourselves so seriously. I'm retired and living a nice debt-free life with lots of $$$ in the bank and a sunny view. Where do you internet heroes think you'll be 20 years from now?
Btw, I don't drink warm milk, with or without Bosco. See ya later chumps, stay frosty.

Fucking ice down at the hockey rink was fantastic, the only problem was it was too damn cold to go play on it!
