QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:08 AM) Bahahaha Coming from someone who openly rooted for us to lose the Olympic bid... I figured we'd get it and actually was saddened when we lost. I didn't openly laugh when we lost as some of here seem to be lying about.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:04 AM) Someone want to point to a post where I laughed at losing the bid? Anyone? Didn't think so.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:02 AM) Not to mention slammed the effort to do it the whole time... Someone want to point to a post where I laughed at losing the bid? Anyone?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:59 AM) Those are all in Bucktown, not Wicker Park. WP starts at North Avenue and goes south. Levis, Starbucks, Walgreens, Urban Outfitters and BoA are in Wicker Park.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:58 AM) What the... YOU laughed at us losing the Olympic bid, you revelled in it. Are you now a member of the American Right Wing? I laughed? I revelled [sic] in it? How so?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:55 AM) This is really interesting and goes to show the feelings of Obama abroad. And leave it to the American right wing to crap on something we should be proud of. Just like they laughed at us losing an Olympic bid.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 08:53 AM) Right now, I'd say Wicker Park is the closest thing to it in the city. Maybe 10 - 15 years ago. It's becoming quite corporate. Levis store, Dairy Queen, BoA, Banana Republic, Starbucks, etc

Big hoopla over the nobel peace prize today.

Has anyone even read the rationale behind him winning it or it this all criticism from reading the headline?

The president winning the Nobel Peace Prize is good news for John McCain. When will President Obama close the deal?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 07:32 AM) So the rest of the world thinks enough of Obama to get him the nobel prize, but not the Olympics? I'm sure it was the same voting panel for both with the same criteria.

Yes he can?

f***ing a! You were telling the truth

Don't be messing with me with those made up stories.

I guess HIPPA laws are optional there.

Reminds me of the Golden Girls.

Read a good article about Dick Gephardt in this week's Nation. Talks about what a complete sell out he is with all the lobbying he's doing for coal, big pharm, etc. And they wonder why people are cynical when it comes to politics. Here's the online article.

Furthermore, when I think capitalist pig I don't think of the Wall Street CEOs. I think of Micheal Moore and the $5K suits he wears, the Ferrarris he's always seen driving in, and the entourage of strippers surrounding him at all times.

I guess I'm just struggling to comprehend the issue here. No one in a capitalist society is allowed to create a film criticizing capitalist society because they live in one? Is he supposed to create his own nation that doesn't employ capitalism, perhaps on an island, in order to create a film criticizing the concept?
