| #17 What a waste. Why not simply enforce the criminal law? And who's going to pay to collect any judgments obtained in "pimp litigation"? A pimp law debt collection specialist? Pay up deadbeat or I'll have the sheriff garnish your girls and take your cellphone! |

| #15 #7 at least somebody else here remembers the chicago convention of 68'. Grand fun. The image of Daley screaming at the podium is etched in memory forever. |

| #14 "Do you know that when a prostitute gets arrested, it is that pimp who gets them out of jail?" Bailey said. That's a terrible statement on so many levels. |

| #13 So that's why you spelled California wrong, huh? |

| #7 Its not the job of the police to create disorder, its the job of the police to MAINTAIN disorder. |

| #3 Weird Al, no, phil_b is not from mid-west, neither are many of us here. It is cool to include a mid-west ref, but the emphasis is on 'include'. Meaning there should be some substance to which the reference is added in an apropos fashion. Anyway, thanks for the elucidation. |

| #2 You can't figure out King Richard the 1st? Obviously not from the mid-west. Out there, there has only been one King Richard. Hizzoner, the Greatest Mayor Chicago Ever Had, Richard J Daley himself. A fine figure of a man who knew the true meaning of the word Clout. Good Irish-Catholic boy who went to mass evey morning and destroyed his enemies every afternoon. If he wasn't already dead, this bill would have killed him. |

| #1 Bobby, some people who have been here for years get a licence to make cryptic comments. You are not one of them. If you have something to say then by all means say it but cryptic local allusions without explanatory facts will result in responses like this. I am supremely indifferent to whatever city you refer to and its blue/red/pink/?? status as well as a denizen I have almost certainly never heard off. This is not the DailyKos. We have broader concerns. regards |
