Mayor Daley: Big Brother Gov't in Chicago? "No!"Party of ObstructionistsDaley scorns cabbie dress code idea
Chicago's Democratic Mayor Daley has reached a point where he has decided that enough is enough - when it comes to the far-reaching hand of a would-be nanny approach to public policy.

Abe's Short TakesNazi hunter dies at 96
It's worth noting the passing of this man, who survived the Nazis to spend the rest of his life bringing members of the 3rd Reich Marching and Murder Club to justice.
Wiesenthal died in his sleep at his home in Vienna, said Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. ?I think he?ll be remembered as the conscience of the Holocaust. In a way he became the permanent representative of the victims of the Holocaust, determined to bring the perpetrators of the greatest crime to justice,? Hier told The Associated Press.He was a true mensch. 'nuff said.
Two of Abe's quick points: 1) The coverage of Hurricane Ophelia hit an old sore spot with me. What's the point of having the TV reporter out in the hurricane? I know TV wants visuals above all else, but this...
