Given what we know about him -- his tendency to make enemies quickly and keep up grudges against them, his talent for personal invective, his propensity for outrageous satire that used people's real names -- my guess is that he would have plunged into it gleefully up to the elbows.Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-20121312316556434602019-04-03T08:25:47.799-05:002019-04-03T08:25:47.799-05:00Happened to turn on the radio this morning just as...Happened to turn on the radio this morning just as it was playing Lori lightfoot's acceptance speech in which she told the crowd to hold hands and celebrate as neighbors with a common cause: Chicago. As a tear welled up in my eye, I thought of how happy I was when Jane Byrne became Mayor and how quickly her friends turned on her. The weak election turnout does not bode well, but I still hope she can keep the City holding hands for a little while anyway.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-36229344715109540452019-04-03T08:18:18.224-05:002019-04-03T08:18:18.224-05:00So true so true.
