Mr. Trump bought one chair at every table, so the whole room had Trump… sitting at their table.

Ah,that probably wasn’t their discussion, but if only our government officials would focus on the really important matters like that, thing would definitely improve. We can dream.

If he spends a penny of his own money on this freak show campaign for president they ought to change the name on that building to CHUMP Tower.

@ Gooner, check on Cech! Abramovich let him go, I’m certain Jose M. is still seething and claiming Cech is nothing.

Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Monday, Jun 29, 15 @ 5:02 pm
Amalia, that was a complete class move by Chelsea to let him move to a spot in London where he can both be the starting keeper and compete for hardware. That’s how you thank somebody for all those years of service. No more Abramovich bashing from me ever.
In addition, the last three years we’ve brought in Ozil, Sanchez and now Cech? Times are changing at Arsenal. Wenger seems to have decided that top four will not do it anymore. We need to go to the top of the table.
It is amazing that if we sign anybody else, they will displace a high quality player. If we bring in a midfielder, it means that the likes of a Santi or a Ramsey will be on the bench. That’s a heck of a lot different from past years.

Keep this on the down low. But a source within the Illinois Republican party told me that “The Donald” is looking for a running mate. We have a guy here in Illinois that will shake up Washington!

I hope Munger is not supporting Trump. She has impressed me thus far. She definitely has a great shot at keeping the Office in the Republican Fold if her opponent is City Clerk Mendoza. Her ties to Madigan and Emanuel will be enough to do her in. And the lines for City Stickers are still terrible.
