Throat’s on fire, burning up my bod-ay
Still feeling like crap on raisin toast, but since Og wanted me to post this, I'll do it before I drop dead for the night:
Now, while I don't necessarily have a problem with da good Mayor, I have to keep wondering what his obsession is with architecture that looks like toilet bowls. I mean, have you LOOKED at the new Solider Field from the outside!?!?Oh, whatEVER.
"Chicago's infamous Mayor Daley, who endangered the city by changing it from a controlled airspace to an uncontrolled one, by the midnight vandalisim performed on Chicago's miegs Field, is about to unveil another one of his atrocities.
In the new millenium Park, there is a sculpture named "Cloud Gate" by Anish Kapoor. it looks sort of like a polished tinfoil bike helmet. It will be unveiled on Mayor Daley on the 16th, and hundreds of people will be showing up with tinfoil hats to join in the festivities. Help make it thousands. Put on a white t-shirt and a tinfoil hat of your own construction, and show up in the new millenium Park on July 16th, 5:00PM Mayor Daley has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this park alone, (aside from private donations!!!) let alone all the other projects, while city cops waited months for a contract. "Cloud Gate", a huge polished stainless "mother ship" is just another indication of the wastfulness of this man. Use a black magic marker to write "couldn't the mother ship have landed at miegs?" or anything else you want on your shirt, and show up at 5:00. We hope to see you there! pass this along to anyone you know who hates the wastefulness and let's show this idiot what we think of him (peacefully). "
This is copy/pasted directly from the mail. It's a riot- but I think it might just be fun to do, and watch! I'm gonna check it out.
Here's the object in question, by the way. Also, here's an interesting site on how much money was spent and where it came from.

Call me crazy, but wouldn’t all that money go to better use in the school system?
Maybe it’s a subconscious thing because he knows he’s running the city into the toilet and it’s manifesting itself into his choices? LOL
