anyone who ever says that they want a friendship where there is no expectations, is already setting a series of expectations, no expectations IS an expectation…and its one of the more bullshit ones at that…its a semantic game…dont fall for it…

Mayor Rahm Emanuel is pushing lawmakers to pass a gambling bill that would allow the city to weigh its choice of a casino operator in secret and forbid state regulators from taking away its license. The legislation also would grant the mayor authority to seize land for a casino and keep not only the gambling profits but also two local taxes and a cut of an upfront fee paid for the right to run the gambling emporium.

I got to “forbid state regulators from taking away its license” before I burst out laughing. How about you?

The U6 unemployment rate counts not only people without work seeking full-time employment (the more familiar U-3 rate), but also counts “marginally attached workers and those working part-time for economic reasons.” Note that some of these part-time workers counted as employed by U-3 could be working as little as an hour a week. And the “marginally attached workers” include those who have gotten discouraged and stopped looking, but still want to work. The age considered for this calculation is 16 years and over

NOTED: In a report on a series of “flash mobs” downtown yesterday night, a police officer said, “Chicago is closed. Time to go home.” There are two kinds of flash mobs; the Chicago kind are never pleasant. Summer arrives and so too does the “terror.” Chicago and State becomes not just a train stop, but a means of confrontation, a clashing of the two cities. There is public Chicago and everywhere else, the parts of the city in which people live, but are rarely acknowledged. This of course is more than city structure. It is the further divide of a city of divisions. The “haves” and the “have nots” does not seem accurate enough. “Chicago is closed” he said, as if this part of the city is only open for a few, as if this part of the city is a store, a box, a secret that is locked away for those who are worthy of knowing it. Every year they ask, “Why do they do this? Cause trouble, cause noise, cause presence?” It seems like a subconscious occupation of space, a desire to swoop in fiercely, to stand out with righteous deviancy and angst. Occupy Chicago. They are “doing something.” It is not good or safe or pleasant or welcome, but it is something.

Good evening. The country tonight is in the midst of what may be the most serious Constitutional crisis in its history. The President has fired the special Watergate prosecutor, Archibald Cox. Because of the President’s action, the attorney general has resigned. Elliott Richardson has quit, saying he cannot carry out Mr. Nixon’s instructions. Richardson’s deputy, William Ruckelshaus, has been fired.
Ruckelshaus refused, in a moment of Constitutional drama, to obey a presidential order to fire the special Watergate prosecutor. And half an hour after the special Watergate prosecutor had been fired, agents of the FBI, acting at the direction of the White House, sealed off the offices of the special prosecutor, the offices of the attorney general and the offices of the deputy attorney general.

Red Line’s ‘big fix’ officially begins with promise of faster commute - Chicago Sun-Times
Will the five-month, total shutdown — from Cermak to 95th Street — be painful? Probably, experts say. Will it be worth it? Definitely.
By its Oct. 19 conclusion, one of the biggest reconstruction projects in CTA history should eliminate the branch’s notorious slow zones — the worst in the system — and deliver commuters a faster, smoother ride, plus a host of station improvements.
[…]
“Load-and-go” free express shuttles will take commuters from each of the four southernmost Red Line Stations – 95th, 87th, 79th and 69th streets — directly to the Green Line’s Garfield Station. At that station, all rides will be free for five months, even to those not re-routed by Red Line work. Both Red and Green line trains will run on Green Line tracks out of Garfield.Some community groups are concerned about the impending onslaught at the Garfield Green Line station. The CTA has installed 17 free turnstiles to accommodate what is expected to be a jump in ridership — from 1,300 daily to 13,000. More cameras and more manpower are promised.
