* This is the closest I got…

* Until the parade arrived at Grant Park, that is…

* The Question: Caption?

    Comment by Anonymous Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 3:10 pm

39. Does this mean Rauner doesn’t want Chicago to secede from Illinois?

    How did Ricketts achieve the World Series Championship without common sense pro-baseball team owners reforms?

    Comment by Chicago 20 Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 3:19 pm

40. Bruce: So, Rahm, do you think that requiring a special use permit for Chicagoans flying the “W” flag will really generate enough additional revenue to fund the city pensions without raiding the TIFs?

    Rahm: Don’t talk so loudly. I think Toni Preckwinkle can hear us. I am thinking about taxing Cubs apparel too.

    Comment by Anonymous Friday, Nov 4, 16 @ 3:22 pm

41. Rahm: Ive got this Itch on my back, Bruce can you scratch it for me Bro ?
