Yes, indeed. I wish the Chicago Daily News and Mike Royko still existed ...

Edgar ran a tight ship. I didn't like his politics, but respected his governing.

Thompson taught George Ryan everything he knew, except how to not get caught. Why do you think Thompson's law firm gave Ryan a $20 Million defense............for free?

And George Washington (the poster, not prez) is up in arms over the above somewhere right now.
