I feel very badly for Ed Burke. "Justice" took a simple Burger King shakedown and is applying tremendous pressure on him. But unlike the rat Danny Solis, he refused to "break" and make up stories to get a "deal." Such respect for a brave man! #twill
Ugh, more Madigan bashing. I sometimes wonder though if Madigan preternaturally feeds off the negative attention. Right? Maybe if we just stopped talking about him he would just vanish. It’s worth a shot.
There actually is a big wall at 63rd and Cicero for Midway airport. Not beautiful but still big. But I didn’t know the airport had to worry about property taxes.
Love Radical Candor, but Madigan as Trump? Their public personas are so radically different, in all candor, that it’s hard to make the connection on the satire level.
Now, if Madigan buys the old Statehouse Inn, and every lobster and interest group with gubmint business starts putting money in his pocket by booking rooms and boozing at outrageous prices, it could work.
Rauner was a bigger target because of the amazing things that would come out of his mouth. Madigan says a lot less (at least in public), which makes for a different dynamic to parody.

This is dumb. Comparing Madigan to Trump is absurd - Madigan has way more smarts.

Ah yes just what we needed, another Trump parody account.

That’s what we have the SJ-R for.

I thought that Radical Candor was brilliant and witty… this, not so much.
Maybe reevaluate because this isn’t up to the high standards you set for parody.

I am surprised Mueller has not indicted Madigan for some property tax appeal he did for him in the past.

I don’t think Dry January is working out for Radical Candor. Don’t worry, February is just around the corner.

@ChrisB has it right - @MayorEmmanuel went out strong and never looked back.

“@MayorEmmanuel went out strong and never looked back.”
If fans of @MayorEmmanuel aren’t following @DanSinker, you really should oughtta.

Not been much of a Radical Candor fan, but found the comparison quite humorous.
