“Who the hell do you think you are anyway? Suggestion: proofread your crap, dumbass.”

Such vulgarity should not unwatched go. Off your meds?

I call ‘em like I see ‘em. Sorry if it stings. I’ll try being nicer if you’ll try being smarter.

I doubt if you have the ability to be nicer, but give it the old college try. As to smarter, well, your comments speak for themselves, lol.

My argument is that the author is taking the tone of a fear monger—read this to hear about the next really colossal disaster, when he really has no argument concerning the timing (NEXT) or the extent (DETROIT) of the disaster.

Chicago, and many other entities, will eventually crash, but there is a difference between a fender-bender and hitting an underpass support going over 150 mph.

If Detroit were a car-wreck, it would be this car wreck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG96U8sX1hg

Failure doesn’t always mean death—some bankruptcies allow reorganization and survival. I’m not urging anyone to buy Chicago bonds, but if you live in Detroit, abandoning everything and starting over somewhere else would seem a no-brainer. In Chicago, you can at least hope to sell what you own for some sort of money, and can have a reasonable expectation of finding organized civilization 30 years from now.

Which conservative will run for Chicago mayor, in 2015? I hope Carl Segvich, Bill Kelly, or Dan Proft will run.

I predict that for the 5th consecutive election (ever since they went to non-partisan elections) that no Republican, let alone a conservative one, will run for Mayor.

And I predict that if Rahm loses, which he probably won’t, it will be to a Black candidate running to his left.
