My transportation is alcohol powered. I walk a lot.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:41 PM) No they aren't. Corporations are made up of people. My point is corporations are not angels or devils by definition. Just like some here respect the efforts of the NRA, PTA, AARP, Sierra Club, etc. in advancing issues and having an impact, so do corporations. Just because it is a 10,000 employee corporation calling their congressman and not a friendly faced not for profit, doesn't make it bad. I want the major employers picking up the phone and letting the government know what is effecting their business. I want healthy businesses in my town. In the Rio Grande Valley there are at least eight economic development agencies handing out incentives for businesses to move to the area. Yes, my tax dollars are being spent to steal employers from your neighborhood and moving them here. Shouldn't my elected officials continue to talk with those businesses after they are here? Like it or not, most people here need jobs and many work for corporations. I would want the ownership of my employer being on a first name basis with my congressman to keep him aware of legislation that could negatively impact my job.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) They also have more say in what politicians do than the citizens who can actually vote. That's not a good thing. Respectfully, Mr. Kickass, it is neither good nor bad. It just is. Corporations are people too.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) I don't disagree with you there, Kip. But as long as "big corporations" exist, they will get the politicians ears because that's where most of the money is coming from. And yes, they all, DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN, shift the money like a shell game to keep from getting caught with their fingers in the cookie jar. Big corporations also pay a lot in taxes, employ a lot of voters, and yes, donate to campaigns.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) Was that sarcastic, or being honest? Out side of Juan Carlos, WGN is doing a great job. Honest. Today, I really, really wish I was back in Chicago

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) I'm almost in tears. lol I've been in tears since October 1st

Damn, I love the trolley and the front office people. I want to cheer the assistant to the undersecretary in charge of belts and socks

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) Did anyone see Crazy Carl....I gotta admit, he definately knows how to crack me up. ESPN news has pretty good coverage as well, just flipped it over there. There you can hear the background of thunderstruck. This is just awesome...I'm getting misty eyed just watching it and thinking back about how great this season has been. Its really starting to sink in. I love the "home team" coverage on WGN.

There should be a picrture of Mariotti on the pavement for the buses to run over

Where's Rally Crede?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) CBOT... WAVE TO ME EVERYBODY!!! :finger :finger :finger

QUOTE(YASNY @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) The should have reversed the parade route and held the rally at the Cell. How about heading over to Wrigley?! Reinsdorf "Tribune, tear down this wall!"

OMG. the camera angle on 9 looked like the bus ran into the crowd.

Good idea. The parade is so great to watch.

Wow.

QUOTE(Mercy! @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) No serious response to this, either? "What has anyone here done besides complain about gasoline prices? What concrete steps have you taken?" I raised my prices.

NANCY!!!!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 11:02 AM) Does a school firewall f*** of the video? Because this thing is choppy as hell for me, and completely stops periodically. The network speed will cause that.

QUOTE(mreye @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:59 AM) Marriotti's columns? There didn't seem to be a smell, so maybe not

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:54 AM) I can't see anything, but I get the audio. Anyone know if there's some quick fix for this? Ahh, open your eyes?

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:54 AM) I can't see anything, but I get the audio. Anyone know if there's some quick fix for this? Troubleshooting guide

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:52 AM) Thanks for the pix, CC. I'm trying to watch the WGN video but I'm only getting audio, so it's great being able to see what's going on. They cut the video during commercials. Confetti will be cut up Sun Times, not Tribune LMAO

Cute little girl playing hookey from school and WGN puts her on TV.

QUOTE(fathom @ Oct 28, 2005 -> 10:47 AM) Sorry Heads, but any movie that equates Iowa to Heaven is just plain comedy to me. A lot of great things have come from Iowa, like, like, ahhhh, like ahhh, someone help me here, ahhh corn, yeah, corn. And I'm certain something else.
