o.k. with everything else going on, i guess this is small potatoes. but i’m utterly fascinated with the brazen show of political cahones that our own mayor daley recently flashed when he decided to remove an airfield. at midnight. without warning. in a odd way that’s difficult to describe, it’s awe-inspiring:

“In a stunning move decried by critics as “the epitome of arrogance,” Mayor Daley closed down Meigs Field by tearing up its only runway–without warning pilots, air traffic controllers or many of his political allies.”
