Would give better odd that the doves would be prey for the urban raptors.

What’s the over/under that at least one of those doves might eventually fly over Saputo’s?

Aldermen strike curious poses, they feel the heat, the heat between me and you.

Madigan ends the even by reminding everyone that dove season in Illinois begins in just a few weeks

Oh look! A rare sighting of the Michaelus Madiganus!
Poltitical Birders, get your notebooks and jot this sighting down. This is one of those once-in-a-lifetime events.

As rare as these doves, the Chicago Ward Boss in his habitat, *and* in full Pantus-Pulleruptus, like a peacock spreading its lovely feathers…

Is Alderman Lopez planning a run for mayor of Chicago? He’s assembled quite the team—a priest, a politician, and the police. Interesting.

It appears Wes Anderson is filming in Chicago…
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Aug 6, 21 @ 11:34 am
Madigan is thinking… if you love something, set it free. If it is meant to be, it will return… or something like that I guess, there’s a great deal of pondering going on.

Who doesn’t like a free bird?

==Is Alderman Lopez planning a run for mayor of Chicago?==
He has been since May of 2019. Just waiting for Ed Burke to loan him his Rolodex so he can make it official. So far he’s established two solid planks on his campaign platform, which are 1) No one is nicer to CPD than I am, and 2) Lori won’t call on me in the Zoom meetings even though I have very clearly clicked the raised hand button.
