Spring Ahead!
If it's after 2:00 AM, it's an hour later than you thought it was.
Open post for now while we try to catch up on that missing hour of sleep.

No work today. Phone will reset itself. The clock/radio will reset itself. I'll get to the stove and microwave clocks when I make coffee in the morning. All in all, a good day to sleep in.
This means one less hour for XO Buscemi to monitor Caboodle to try and jackpot the good people on 1/W in 011. Fucking loser that he is.
When Rahm wins the election, he is going to be very unhappy with those that did not vote for him and did not support him.
No openings again...
Sounds like they are ginning up another Ferguson in Madison WI. The poor innocent kid the mean old police shot was an angel.
If angel means you have already been convicted of Home Invasion by the time you were 19.
For the skinny on the madison WI shooting, read Ann Althouse's Blog and the comments to the police shooting posts.
The poor victim has a record and already has spent time in prison.
Everyone be safe out there. Don't forget to vote!
The usual suspects will again be an hour late for work. Another thing that the hairgel police can't seem to figure out.
what beautiful weather to usher in all the promises of a new spring.
Rainbows, bunnies & birds :))
Damn. The clock on my Commodore 64 didn't change. Gotta go.
is this true? if it is we need to SERIOUSLY consider who and what we are voting for. i didnt vote for rahn and dont like him just as much as the next city worker. but with the looming pension payment due, which no doubt the citry cant make, what happens if they DO declare bankruptcy to restructure it? do we take say 50cents on the dollar? 25cents? what happens? can chuy get the city out of that mess with no new revenue? you know rauner wont help pay for it. even though its constitutionally guarnteed what if? hello FOP comment on this and put the officers you represent somewhat at ease and give us a direction on who to vote for that is in our best interests.

Seriously? You need FOP to tell you how to vote? Rest assured, all the union endorsement aren't worth the newspaper they are printed on. The members are NOT voting for Rahm. The connected union bosses signed off to keep their jobs. Every one is a Judas.
Stop with the scare tactics with .25 cents on the dollar for our pension. Not going to happen when ALL the pension money is sitting in the TIF funds AND MORE. This is a manufactured crisis to squeeze us, nothing more.
Rahm will be unmovable in four more years. Chuy will either be a good Mayor, or he will be gone in four more years.
Change you politicians often. It keeps them a little more honest.
They need to end day light savings..... it's out dated......
PENSION PENSION
PENSION
Why is not every unions in the city doing add campaigns to force both Mayoral Canadates to produce a pension plan. The Governor is now saying the city is almost bankrupt and been sliding in that direction for years. This could affect not only workers but also every citizen in the city. If anyone owns property or a business in the city the value will dive 50% if the city files bankruptcy. This will have an effect on every Chicagoan!
Gee I wonder if Clancy will be late?
How about o,Neil in hr collecting two pay checks sending more able bodies to call back we spend over 2 million in salaries to answer calls . Plus sgts to sit there and do nothing. Sure hope chuy cleans house and gets police officers back on the street that want to work but o,Neil won't let them. Hell that's probally a 100 police right there.
My sincere thanks to attorney general Eric Holder and President " Barry the Sparkle Fairy" for placing "black racism" in front of everybody.
Darkness arrives at 1830hrs, 50° all week, recipe for disaster. Murders spike and affect mayoral campaign.
The only ones saying the city is broke is the politicians. Explain to me then where did he get money for DePaul, Maggie Daley Park etc... The TIFS need to be challenged. The FEDS need to come in and do a FORENSIC AUDIT of the past two administrations. And if someone has to go Jail so be it. Daley won't he was one of the C/Is working when HDO and others went to Jail. The first sign Daley gave is when he ratted out Miriam SANTOS she had told Daley he couldn't touch the pensions. What happened Daley set up SANTOS and she went to jail. People connect the dots its not hard to figure out. The Daleys, Madigans, Burkes, and RAHM, THESE GUYS LIVE IN ANOTHER WORLD AND YOU CAN'T AFFORD BUT PAY YOUR TAXES for their benefits.
idiots! bankrupcy is a new language in corrupt cities like Detroit. In Chicago its business as usual you fools re-elected the Daley's term after term. The Daley administration, aka "Uncle Richie Daley" is responsible for without any public vetting, legislation creating the plan was slipped into a larger bill before it was signed into state law in January 1991 has leveraged city pension funds for political purposes;
Fact: Aldermen and other elected city officials became eligible to receive up to 80 percent of the salary they earned during their last month of work;
Fact: we receive 70 percent of our average highest annual salary over the previous 10 years;
Fact: Aldermen can also reach the maximum benefit with just 20 years of service, compared with ours of 30 years for everyone else in the municipal pension plan;
Fact: Data from the pension fund shows that Aldermen retired with an average of 25 years of service; and roughly the same as the average retiree in the municipal pension plan;
Fact: average payout to those aldermen is $81,000 a year. But because they can retire at 55 and their pensions grow by 3 percent compounded annually for the rest of their lives, the average amount will eventually increase to $165,000 a year!
Fact: our pension payout is 50%-75% without the extra value benefit!
Fact: result is that many aldermen will end up making more in retirement than they did when they served on the council!
Fact: former Alderman. William Beavers, who is alleged to have failed to pay taxes on money taken from his campaign accounts to buy into the Alderman pension plan. Beavers is now receiving a city pension of more than $91,000 a year and is also eligible to earn a county pension based on his $85,000 salary as a Cook County commissioner!
The pension revisions came as Richie Daley was running for his first full term as mayor. He went on to dominate city government for five more terms with frequent support from "you" and organized labor and the acquiescence of "his puppets" aka the City Council. During his tenure, Daley appointed nearly three dozen aldermen, many of whom went on to earn full aldermanic pensions.
Now considering the above, comes Patrick Daley Thompson who wants to pick-up another pension! Yup!, first it is the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District and now this Bridgeport neighborhood resident wants to put another pension into his bank account, Alderman Pension fund!
Vote For John Kozlar for 11th Ward Alderman and Jesus Garcia for Mayor!
stop the business as usual down at the Hall!

That's pretty funny because where I work it's the guys with over 20 years that are the ones constantly and regularly late for roll call. At least they showed up
Hillary just e mailed me !
If one of them came out and said we will use the TIF to fix the city's problems but we have to overhaul the system going forward he would win in a landslide.
Driving around the neighborhood(19th Ward)it amazes me all the rham signs on Coppers lawns.You guys must really owe big time, and then you advertise it!

I call BS. The same people who "forget" and are always an hour late are never an hour early in fall.
If city is "bankrupt " then let them sell off some of their assets. What a bunch of bullshit.
They weren't "bankrupt" when they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on paint for bike lanes that aren't used.
They don't appear to be "bankrupt " as they spend millions of bullshit VRI.
I challenge the little fuck to declare bankruptcy. Let's open the books and see what you got.
Mainstream media refuses to talk about the 1.7 BILLION in TIF money. This jag says that all but $200 million is already spoken for.
Spoken for?!?! If your fucking "bankrupt " how the hell can you have 1.5 BILLION going anywhere except making yourself solvent?
Rham is a douche but I still can't place the hands of the city into Chuy. It just seems like he's running for school president and promising things that everyone wants to hear (red light cameras).

Christ, if you could have picked a worse place in the country for its permanent population of wild-eyed radicals...maybe Berkeley?
Union staying silent?
May be they should get out of the endorsement business all together.
May be when politician go before a board notes should be taken or a video should be taped just like at FOP regular meetings.
May be votes should be taken by name and not by yea and nays.
Unless you really don't want member to know what the board is doing in closed session.
May be elected person should work in the office at the union not token persons.
I wish i had a Doctorate degree so i could figure all these complicated issues out...

I agree. Why the hell would anyone vote for someone just because our FOP says to? FOP is a joke when it comes to endorsements. They never endorse the guy the majority supports. They only try to pick the winner. Just like betting on a football game. Look The fire union endorsed Rahm but just about every fireman is voting for garcia.
Rahm is shady and sneaky and a bully,I voted for Chuy and anybody but Rahm, I get it,but chuy has said talked and talked,no red light cameras,hire 1000 police,sounds great,lost revenue and then he needs hundred million to hire the cops, let's not forget our pension $500 million due in December ,ummm it would be great if chuy could address those issues, just saying

Curious, I received an e-mail from FLOP asking who they should endorse, which really surprised me. I wonder what the results were.
Where has old Garry been? He hasn't been on the news in months. Rahm must have told him to STFU about those bullshit crime stats until after the election!
They need to end day light savings..... it's out dated......
3/08/2015 10:02:00 AM
I agree
This time change really sucks!
Keep it at one time and that's it!
I prefer more light in the evening and leave it permanently on daylight savings time!
City has money for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS , that ust stop and pension funded . TIF for business to build in ghettos and downtown , use money to fund pensions .
Maybe Mr. Garcia will make cuts in middle management , unnecessary employees on the city payroll.
Commercials of rahmmie reminding us how he rubs people the wrong way are costing him votes .
Assets and pension fund information from 2013 wonder how much more it is down?
http://chipabf.org/ChicagoPolicePension/PDF/Financials/actuarial/2013_Report.pdf
daley and his crew should be in prison, the whole daley crime cabal!
WWCD? What will chuy do? Thats the billion dollar question? is rahm digging up his yard to put the taxpayers tif money into? I mean the yard where the wedding dress was at, or was it?
Just wondering, if say two high ranking Exempts were to retire before the election (Al and Wayne), do you think Rahm would be forced to boot Gary?
Last I checked its the old salty dogs that can't use a smartphone, can't type with more than two fingers, and can't quite figure out why the printer won't work. The hair gels are ok with technology, you older peeps aren't. Also, cell phones automatically change to account for DST, unless you're still rocking a Nokia. Who showed you what the Internet was anyways?!? Our hair gel secret is ruined!

You probably haven't been on time to Rollcall since the late 90's... Dinosaur.
the RAHMSTER ....AKAdancing major in college...can...TAP DANCE HIS ASS OUT OF TIME WHEN CHEWEY SPANKS HIM 07 APR!!
So Capt Lemmer gets a pretty fat EEOC complaint and they move his accuser out of 011 to 025 then switch her to midnights which she clearly stated she can't work and she was afternoons in 011. Is this retaliatory in nature against the whistle blower? Why didn't they just move him out of 011 it's pretty obvious that he is the problem.
In Selma march yesterday....dead center was Obama as expected
but why in the hell is al Sharpton right behind Obama
he must really have something on the prez!
rahm is such a punk!!

I showed me. Sure as hell wasn't anyone out of the sandbox. Ever build your own RS-232 breakout board to figure out the null-modem wiring to get a Diablo daisywheel printer thundering away? They used to offer sound-absorbing enclosures for the things. What a tank.
I'm grateful to those Swiss physicists at CERN who thought it would be good to have an electronic means of communicating scientific information worldwide. Now look at the Web. HD movies of people inserting ears of corn into themselves, ghetto beatdown videos, and Moldovan banking scams to try to get your credit card number...
Gotta go fire up the home-CNC-converted Monarch 10" x 20" and work on my rocket nozzle now. That Inconel is a real bugger to machine...
Oh. I'll have to get a bucket boy up on the car and ask him what the problem is with svchost.exe:5324 on this thing. Loading the CPU 100%. Something to do with the DNS cache.
Tell me more about the ignorant old folks...
As long as we are talking about Selma, interesting that George and Laura Bush were there but the New York Times decided to photoshop them out of the picture.

I recall the day I upgraded my Tandy 8088 all-in-one and bought a new speedy 286 with 512k or ram but I had to plug in a bunch of little ram chips because they came separate in a plastic tube.
There was no internet outside of a University computer lab. Just the local dial-up BBS's and Compuserve. Compuserve used internet but no WWW or browsers. Everything was text based. You had the type the command in correctly.
The air was clean and sex was dirty.
19th Ward Rahm signs are from the police officers assigned at City Hall they are running just as scare as Rahm!
Some of them can't sleep at night just thinking about their next assignment after Chuy gets elcted!
Policy says if there is a move initiated by the City in an EEO complaint the person moved will not be the complainant.

Yes! The "computers" in college back in the 70's were as big as a church pew, and you fed the IBM(Do not fold,staple,mutilate)Card into it.The 286 kicked ass in the 80's.
Then again,so did the Police.

I agree,but for the # of Copper's houses that have 9.5 signs out is sickening.Vote for the prick if you want, but don't advertise it.I guess if they are that arrogant, so be it.They "owe",everyone on their block knows it, now they just confirmed it.
Hey Rahm, if you want a guarantee win on April 7, all you have to do is put up the money for our pension.

Yep that will sure do it. Those extra few votes will guarantee the election. If only it were that simple.
Fact: we receive 70 percent of our average highest annual salary over the previous 10 years;
Not a fact We receive 75% if you stay 29 and a day. Its the average of the highest 4 years of the last 10 years.
Get you facts straight
