I have not resided in the city of Chicago for a very long time. That said, I’ve always been a student of its history and a (side eyed) fan of its politics. I am reminded of a Chicago politician that once said, “ If they don’t like it, they can kiss my a**…”

How’d things work out for that guy’s sons?

Pretty good! But didn’t Mayor Daley tell everybody to kiss

his mistletoe? 🤣

I believe so. I’m with Hizzoner: "If a man can't put his arms around his sons and help them, then what's the world coming to?"

You know what’s funny? There’s a way Chicago works that right or wrong makes sense to Chicagoans. You ever travelled, spoken with someone about their local politics (which work more or less as they should) and been totally confused?

It's definitely a Chicago State of Mind, h/t to Billy Joel.
