Every time I hear about this stuff, I think about how Oprah tried to lift 100 families out of poverty. Only a few ‘made’ it. The poor have a lot of problems other than a lack of money. Lack of education, lack of self-control, an inability to delay gratification, multiple children and no spouse present, all contribute to their problems.

You can give people all the money you want; it won’t help a lot of them.

It's not about stupid. This is a New Democrat from a part of the world where graft, bribery, et cetera are the only way things get done, testing the waters in the United States.

Which conservative will run for Chicago mayor? That race has 10 candidates, and all of them are liberal.

It does my heart good to see Chicago continuing to self-destruct. Puts a big smile on my face.
