Since when did the railroad start using 2"x 4" lumber as railway ties? I laughed so much when I heard Beck say it was a railway tie I almost fell on the floor!

"That money runs out February 15. Robertson says the city is negotiating with Fortress in the hope that the investment group will pick up the tab again. But he emphasized the company did nothing illegal and has no formal obligation to keep paying. Vancouver took on the role of underwriter when it signed the completion guarantee."

Well, yeah, Chevy, but the information here has come from the well known left leaning blog, HuffPo and they don't bother telling the truth more than they have to.

You just did it again. I might get a refusal by reporting you to the mods. No, I don't think I will do that but if I did what you did I would get reported.

I honestly have no clue how some people get their notions. Is it fear of certain people?

Chicago could have triple the crime rate of the safest large city in the US, and the chances of a particular visitor being the victim of crime would go from imperceptibly small to very nearly imperceptibly small.

What a fearful life.

As long as they aren't honor roll students they should be OK.

Ah, yes but that one is he very one that they intend to build the main stadium, to go unused after the event is over, next to or on. You can take her word for that if you please then call me stupid after you do that. As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does." You apply that to me and I will have to turn around and do it for you.

You don't even know who Valerie Jarrett is. Why am I wasting my time.
Ahh one of Beck's hair brained conspiracy theories.... Again you do realize that the push to get Chicago the Olympics was started under Bush correct?

Are you serious?

The White House website cleared it all up?

In case you haven't noticed this administration has a credibility problem.

Beck wouldn't know truth if it stared him in the face, get real...
