The reason healthcare coverage is tied to employment in this country is an accident of WWII wage controls. Henry Kaiser was having problems getting enough workers for his expanding West Coast Shipyards & California steel mill. So he came up with free healthcare for his employees, which wasn’t covered by the wage…

If you want to see a monstrosity of a tomb for someone that isn’t dead yet, look at the Roland Burris tomb. He’s a corrupt hack of a Chicago politician.

Except that some cemeteries, usually called “memorial parks” require flush to the grass stones so that the lawnmowers can go right over everything.

It’s soccer, so no sane American gives a shit!

It’s just the chopped off hand of the Pillsbury Doughboy with jelly in the middle.

The hole is between the Chicago River & the Ogden Slip. It was all industrial until 30 years ago. I remember all the Velsicol Chemical buildings there & then just a few years ago, those same sites had become Superfund sites, because Velsicol had processed thorium to make gas lantern mantles, so they would glow…

Mag Mile isn’t part of Streeterville. A couple of blocks east of there is Streeterville.

Wrong! The lot is used way more than 8 time a year & the building Lucas wants is easily the ugliest thing anyone has seen in the last 100 years. It looks like a pimple about to burst!

But Eisenhower’s class, the Class of 1915 is known as the Class The Stars Fell On, as 36% became generals.

You do realize that the plane that hit the building just flew north & made a slight left turn to the west & was only 300 feet above ground when it hit the building.

If you had checked the FAA N Number database, that shows the registration expired on 1/31/2016.

The only reason this occured is because some moron at NSA refused her request for an encrypted Blackberry when she became Secretary of State. So a week later, she did what Colin Powell & Condi Rice did, she set up her own server.

What happens to the stealthy rubber coating on the sail when it pushes up through the ice? Is it damaged & need replacement when they return to the base?

“How to make oatmeal good again”

I have a far better title for the last episode this year of ‘Once Upon A Time’; “The Absolute Final Episode Ever!”

Get a small 6"-8" fan with a clip & mount it so it blows in your face while chopping onions. Zero tears!

Then why don’t they try to land it in fresh water?

Wrong! Gasoline in Saudi Arabia is 24¢ per liter or less than half of that in Venezuela

Maybe 20 years ago in Chicago, Halpern was also dismissive of accusations of being an accomplice to murder against Helmut Hofer, the male lover & male prostitute of one of the country’s top patent lawyers, Dean Olds, who was believed to have murdered his wife. The Hofer fled to his native Germany after being acquitted…
