 JH>>>> Here's another one I bet you haven't heard about either.  The son
 JH>>>> of Chicago Mayor Daley has gone and joined the Army.  Not sure if he
 JH>>>> went in as an offi or enlisted puke, but considering that Chicago is
 JH>>>> one of the last bastions o the old style Democrat machine, I'd love
 JH>>>> to have been a fly on the wall when Junior told Daddy about his
 JH>>>> plans!
 
 JH>>>> The mostly conservative DJ's on WLS have been having a field day
 JH>>>> with it, as you might expect.
 
 VH>>> Well, let's honor the kid -- he's doing right, even if his father
 VH>>> and grandfather did wrong.
 
 JH>>> They are, and have had nothing but good to say about the son.  Of
 JH>>> course, in the course of *that* discussion, inevitably they rag on
 JH>>> the old man.  Maybe moreso in fact, because there have been a bunch
 JH>>> of scandals involving the Mayor's office of late.  Nothing
 JH>>> really earthshaking at the state or national level, but enough to
 JH>>> make life difficult for the mayor.  And then the kid puts a political
 JH>>> torpedo into his ship of state!  Gotta love Chicago politics.
 
 FS>> For *years* I followed Chicago politics -- though I don't do that
 FS>> any longer -- and what was typical was the corruption involved.
 FS>> What I always liked best though, was how the Democrat machines
 FS>> always allowed the people in the cemeteries to vote ... that
 FS>> was nice!
 
 EC>> And as Vern said, those with hyphenated names could vote twice. <g>
 
 FS> Later, I believe, they eliminated that restrictive requirement
 FS> ... "Vote early and often" ...
 
 FS> ... I couldn't care less about apathy.

 EC> In that other post, I forgot where I saw that quip. <g>  Gettin' old.

Not to worry -- my short-term memory has always been so bad you 
could keep repeating the same message over-and-over-again and I'd 
think it was a new one ... heh heh heh ...

... "Don't quit your knight job!"   Merlin shouted down at Lancelot ...
