“ Because rightwingers don’t really have a problem with rightwing community organizers or organized rightwing communities. They only have a problem when other communities get organized. (ACORN, anyone?)

“ Someone somewhere has said something on that video if they’re from Chicago,” said Montalvo, a banker who studied sociology at DePaul University. A lot of it, he’s said himself.

Sh*t Chicagoans Say Video - redeyechicago.com

I’ve seen the video and it definitely plays more like “Shit Mathew Montalvo Says” than “Shit Chicagoans Say.”

“ Bayley loaded the map into a computerized laser-cutting program. An hour later, he had this beautiful 50-piece Baltic birch plywood puzzle. It’s fitting to make a toy out of the ward map, Bayley believes, because the aldermen who designed it treated the city like a toy.

“ What you drink tells you who you are,” magazines like Esquire love to impart in that Esquire-ian way, but I don’t need a drink to tell me who I am. My wife is more than happy to do that. I just need a good cocktail—a fallback I can order anywhere and can make myself. Something strong but not debilitating. Familiar but not ordinary. Fun but not foolish, classy but not pompous. I refuse to be the guy who orders something so obscure he has to show the bartender the recipe.
