"The government men coming from City Hall. One was tall and beefy. The other was wiry. They wanted steaks."

We didn't eat red steaks at home or yellow bananas. We took home the brown bananas and the brown steaks because we couldn't sell them.
But the government men liked the big, red steaks, the fat rib-eyes two to a shrink-wrapped package. You could put 20 or so in a shopping bag. "Thanks, Greek," they'd say. That was government. -- Who else, Mr. President? - chicagotribune.com

Your Say

Gerard: This one needs a full scale treatment on the main blog. Kass is a brilliant writer, the closest Chicago has to Mike Royko these days. The one man in the city who speaks the truth.

This article is a cry of pain against a loathsome and dishonest political system that has sucked on Chicago for years, and is now sucking the guts out the United States like a lamprey with a bad attitude.

It needs to be read by everyone in country before we vote on keeping this jackass.
