The Census and Daley the Anarchist
Shown here is the 2010 US Census form which you received in the mail this past week.
Note the bright red arrow pointing to the highlighted area. Click to enlarge.
"Do not count anyone living away either at college or in the Armed Forces"
Pretty straightforward, isn't it?
This is one of the long-standing rules of the census, and guess who is telling you to break that rule, that law?
Why, da Mare, Dopey Dick'em Daley, of course!
Daley wants Chicago college students who study out of town counted as city residents on Census
Mayor Richard M. Daley wants Chicagoans to count their out-of-town college student children on their household U.S. Census forms, even though a local Census official said those students should be counted at their colleges.
The difference of opinion between the two officials drew laughter from a crowd of seniors at the Abbot Park Senior Services Center on the South Side today, where officials were encouraging Chicagoans to fill out census forms.
In response to audience questions, Stanley D. Moore, regional director of the Chicago Regional Office for the U.S. Census Bureau, said the law requires that students be counted at their colleges.
“The law says that if they’re in school, we count them where they live on April 1, 2010,” Moore said.
But Daley said the students are coming home for spring break and should be counted here April 1, so Chicago can take advantage of the government money that results from more people being counted.
“If your son or daughter is living in your home five months a year almost or more than that, they’re home for Christmas, they’re home for Easter break. . . they’re home for June, July, August and September. . . it’s simple as that,” Daley told reporters after the event.
*********
Not only is he dopey, he's GREEDY! He is an elected 'servant of the people' telling the people to break the law!
It's time for him to resign--period!

Be a Clown, be a Clown...
If you are going to dress like a clown...
FCOTUS(First Clown of the United States)
...at least do it PROPERLY, like this!
Er...um...Welcome to Spring in Chicago!
Below is my view to the northeast this morning, the official First Day of Spring--HAH!
On a good day, I can see the Evanston downtown hi-rise area, and even the Bahai Temple in Wilmette. The lake is about a half block east, but I won't be taking a walk along it today as the winds are off the lake at almost 20mph, with some window-rattling gusts.
Here's a shot from the lower half of the window. See, it's also snowing, and blowing off the lake!
Well, Merry Spring, everyone...hope it's nicer where you live?

On this last day (finally!) of winter...
...here's a preview of Spring!
Crocus and emerging tulip leaves at the Emil Bach house (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright) at 7415 N. Sheridan Road
Crocus and daffodils in the 1400 block of W. Fargo Avenue (yep, right across the street from Ald. Joe Moore's house!)
"Chalk families" on the sidewalk of the 1500 block of W. Fargo Avenue
Chalk drawings and crocus are sure signs of Spring, aren't they?
It's supposed to SNOW tomorrow!

Shots in the City
15 people shot in six hours
So, er...um...how's that Chicago GUN BAN workin' out for you, Dick'em?
Meanwhile, in Montreal...
Fatal shooting closes Old Montreal tourist area
MONTREAL A brazen daytime shooting left two people dead and two injured in Old Montreal's busiest financial district, which is also a popular tourist area.
Const. Annie Lemieux said Thursday that the shooting took place at a high-end clothing store on Saint Jacques St., in the historic part of the city, which was once the heart of Canada's financial sector and still houses elegant old bank buildings.
Police, responding to a rash of emergency calls, found one man dead in the store. Montreal Police Department spokesman Olivier Lapointe said a second victim died later Thursday. Two others were hospitalized.
Police were on the hunt for a pair of suspects who fled the scene wearing white bandanas over their faces. One was wearing a dreadlocks wig.
Montreal now has had five homicide victims this year.
*********
Although the population of Montreal is a bit more than one third of Chicago's, the people are SHOCKED at only FIVE homicides this year.
The 2009 homicide rate in Chicago ran around 510, or more.
Obviously, banning guns does not get rid of them. Dick'em Daley, you are nothing but a dolt to think the way you do!
