No Thanks

We don't particularly care, because we should be gone from this $hithole when it rolls around, but we can still be concerned about co-workers left behind:

• When Gov. JB Pritzker said he’d try to get the Democratic National Convention to come back to Chicago in 2028, he wasn’t exactly kidding.

  “I’m with him,” Christy George, executive director of the Chicago DNC’s Host Committee, said in an interview with the Sun-Times on Tuesday. The host committee raised a record $94 million — making it the most expensive convention in history.

  “We’re one of the very few cities that were able to raise the money, recruit the volunteers, raise millions more than what we planned on, and recruit thousands more volunteers than any other host city or past political conventions has, Democrat or Republican,” George said. “We want that experience again, and we would happily, happily bid for it. So I’m with JB, and I’m all for another convention here. We can do this. We can do it well.”

Fata$$ wants to raise his national profile to something bigger. We've seen his profile, and they don't get much larger than his and maintain any sort of mobility under their own power.

But why subject the same people to the same inconveniences on a regular basis? We've been through three of these things now - as a child, as young cops, and as older cops leaving it behind. Every twenty-eight years or so is just fine.
