The Northern Muckraker tells me that Chicago has (thankfully) been removed as a contender for hosting the 2016 Olympic Games, despite 100% turnout in favor of the proposal from the Burr Oak, Graceland, Rosehill, Oak Woods, Saint Boniface, and other fine Chicago neighborhoods.
And yes, "thankfully," as Hizzoner Daley has, with the help of the board of aldermen, run the city into the ground. Hosting the Olympics (with innumerable lies and paybacks and such) was simply a way that Mr. Daley hoped to cover up the results of his spendthrift incompetence.

There's a certain schadenfreude in the thought that a South American city is probably going to run a better and cleaner Olympics than Chicago would have.
That's funny stuff. I drove through one of those neighborhoods once. It was eerie.
Hey, those neighborhoods are nowhere near as scary as the ones where the legal voters live! :^)
Rio has a huge advantage, though; it has a stadium capable of holding a track. Chicago got rid of theirs with the Soldiers' Field rebuilding.
