Chicago Sun-Times Going Out Of Business Sale Starts Today!
With arms overloaded with everything from Mike Royko's trash can to unwon Chicago Innovation Awards to Bob Novak's coffee cup, Chicago residents shopped in droves on the first day of a blowout liquidation sale at the Chicago Sun-Times, even as some lamented the end of the iconic native Chicago newspaper.
"They hope to raise enough cash to cover my last month's paycheck", stated Roger Ebert, "the Sun-Times asked if they could have my Star Wars collectibles for today's liquidation sale, but I had to turn them down since they are worth more than the printing presses." Ebert started with the paper in 1967, and expressed sadness at the throngs of happy shoppers rummaging through the Sun-Time's stockpile of restroom supplies.
"It breaks my (bleepin') heart", said Ex-Governor Rod Blagojevich, "Patty and I were believe it was Rich Miller's columns that took this great paper down. During my administration the Sun-Times thrived, but once they started attacking me and the work I was doing for the hard-working workers of Illinois, they lost money and credibility."
As thousands of shoppers hunted for prized Sun-Times memorabilia, 12-year-old Chicagoan Taylor Rooker was spotted with a framed historic Sun-Times front page of the 2005 World Series White Sox win. "My dad told me that people used to read the newspapers everyday, back when there was no Wii, no Blackberries, no laptops, no Kindles, and like, nothing but paper. So I'll hang this on my bedroom wall so that my kids can see what a newspaper looked like."

Ha, when I first heard this story of the Midway deal collapsing but Daley's stooge saying-don't worry we get to keep 126 mil, I said to myself, what a bunch of BS. There is no way somebody's gonna give Daley that money for nothin'and sure enough it was all BS.
Why do people in the news media buy this guys sucker stories? This was a dismal failure on par with his parking meter fiasco. The guy should be run out of town.

There's no private financing out there now. Isn't private financing supposed to build Peotone, as well? That $100 million should be the first cut in Quinn's proposed budget.

I've been watching the Federal Register for the final determination on allowing Midway to privatize. I didn't see where the feds ever ok'd the deal, either. They had comments due in December I think. What happened on that side?

Biggert's got to go. She was on Don Roma's WLS radio show in February where they played a clip from a congressional hearing the day before. A Dem congressman was rightfully railing at the Citicorp CEO who was providing non answers to his questions about the number of SIVs Citicorp owned. Much guffawing by Wade, Roma.and Biggert, with Biggert adding "oh he's just venting". It all stopped when Roma asked Judy "What's a SIV anyway?" Judy's response? "Oh I don't know." It was like "What are you asking me for? I'm a girl!" They quickly moved on.
10 years on the Financial Services Committee and all she's done is spout Heritage Foundation and Club for Growth nonsense while financial bubbles grew ever larger and finally this one blew up in all our faces. She may be a fine real estate lawyer but she has no business being in congress.
On top of that she's a world class hypocrite. Constantly complaining about government spending she never misses a beat when it comes to cutting a ribbon for for pork. She was in Bolingbrook over the weekend taking credit for all the small business money she voted against that Obama's making available in the stimulus plan.
