Well, as of 9:45 pm 85% of votes counted, Emyia is way back in the pack, but it looks like Lightfoot and Preckwinkle will do the runoff. Bill Daly is only third. With Lightfoot outpacing Preckwinkle, Chicago May be getting a black, gay mayor.

Chicagoan here, who voted this morning, although not for Enyia. I considered voting for her at one time, until I saw the story cited below. In 2017 she underreported her income by a third at tax time, leaving off $21,000 for being a campaign consultant to Chris Kennedy (yes, one of those Kennedys). She says either…

Johnson is not running for office. His predecessor, the superintendent who covered up the Laquan McDonald video is running for mayor in Tuesday’s election, and has no chance.

I’m wondering what redacting your phone records would accomplish? Aren’t the call records kept by the phone carrier?

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that half the news items on this affair are being generated by TMZ?

Is this a case of old-washing?

Those address numbers equal a bit over 15 miles. Every increment of 800 equals 1 mile.

Okay, people here are freaking over “involuntary manslaughter”. Is there somebody with a legal background who can explain what constitutes that crime, and if it is appropriate here?

Or was he doomed the instant the picture was printed, as he wandered doomed by the Mummy’s Curse since 1984? Was there any way out short of returning to his medical practice?

Exposing a man who hides away while buying a baseball team doesn’t sound like a difficult task.

Where does it say this witness is white?

Chicago has been in near- to -sub zero temperatures all week. Lots of people in ski masks.

It’s my understanding that the MTA can barely keep the trains running, much less install new elevators. Indeed, a major shutdown of part of the system for repairs was planned, although that may change.

And of course the obligatory Lena Dunham comment makes the criticism official.

Back in the 80s British police tested more than 5,000 men to catch a rapist; basically every man in the neighborhood.

You don’t even need to track measles. In the late 1940s there were 40,000 cases of polio in the US. Imagine the yelps if we got that many measles cases now.

Well, there’s a lot of this going around, not all to do with vaccines. Iceland has basically exterminated people with Down Syndrome, through selective abortion. 

Two words: Lena Dunham.
