UIC is not a top caliber school, not even within your own state ... UI Champaign is the better of the two... lol UIC is a commuter college for the most part, lol at Pulitzer prize.

Of course not biased, nobody in Chicago is biased "Chicago Council on Global Affairs" is a funny name by itself. As far as I know there is no single international institution located in Chicago and there is no single international event taking place there. Talking about megallomania, eh?

Nice job changing the subject, you do that a lot dementor, especially when you are wrong. Like the NASDAQ or the UN. Or was that another NYC fanboy

I bet if they opend 6 story McDonalds in Chicago you would praise it as the best food in the world. Wait a second, you already claim Chicago is the world capitol of cuisine thanks to the famous hotdog and deep dish pizza. LOL

You guys have a nack for making a trivia into an international event...
