So today is the day that they annouce who gets tthe Olympics. There is a rally down at Daley Plaza and when I came in this morning they had Clark St. blocked off up there and there was like 20 news trucks (its like a block away from where I work). Channel 3 is just across the steet and they have a big TV screen that is always there so people are going to watch that and see if Chicago gets the games. They say that Chicago and Rio are the front runners and the games have never been in S. America so they kind of have a leg up on everyone (Madrid, Tokyo and Rio are the other cities). I am going to head down to that rally around noon to see the final annoucement of who gets the games if I can.
Happy Birthday Joe! Go go Chicago! October gave birth to many kin, What month do we have NO birthdays in? Sorry about this rhyme, I shouldn't spend this time!
HEy, I just read brianne's blog about the engagement. that is so nice!!!!!! congrats again and what will you do for yr birthday? go to cafe di scala again? that looked good. -phe
Once again Barack gets slapped like a red headed step child by the world. No wonder when he abandons the Poles, waivers on Afghanistan and bowls like a fairy.
I'll bet "W" could have done some arm twisting to make thing this happen.
I.O.C. stands for "idiots on crack"...Rio will probably win...they'll have to cover up the big Jesus picture, I bet. Obama tried, so we lost, oh well...he was representing all of U.S. you know! Tom, we all miss the Algona Bowling Lanes, but I guess you more than most.
I thought Rio would get it just because the southern hemisphere has been underrepresented and you know, it's Rio. Almost half of Chicagoans polled were against having the games in Chicago and they were plenty vocal about it. There was a committee that presented their anti-case to the IOC. So blame them.
It's nice that Grandpa Straub can speak some Portugese. Perhaps a trip to Rio is in order. I suggest going during Carnivale! Who in their right mind wouldn't pick Rio over Chicago? Think of the scenery, food, beaches, crime, horrible traffic. Of course Rio has these same attributes, only in South America.

Happy Birthday Bro!
Happy Birthday Joe!
I never knew you were such an outdoorsman. Last week canoeing, this photo, hiking.
Perhaps for your birthday you can go spelunking.

Get better Milbraths and Kennedys.

CHICAGO DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THE FIRST ROUND!!!!!!
Everybody is shocked. I blame George Bush. He is a uniter. He united the entire world against the US.
Once again Barack gets slapped like a red headed step child by the world. No wonder when he abandons the Poles, waivers on Afghanistan and bowls like a fairy.

Happy Birthday, Joe.

Do you really want to play dirty with me? I don't play nice.

Happy Birthday, Joe! What a looker.
They won't cover the statue of Jesus. If they do, I won't watch a single event.
Quite frankly, I was expecting Chicago to get cut...
And Rio to have the strongest chance.
I agree... the big statue of Jesus so very represents the city that they have to keep it.

I guess I can use my "Chicago 2016" shirt they gave me this morning to clean my shoes.
I guess they asked Michael Jordan to go hustle votes for them and he refused. Jerk!
Happy Birthday Joe J! Have a great day. I hear Ed has a new T shirt for you.
Tom, Obama went to lobby for the city he loves and it didn't work out. I don't think it reflects poorly on him. Why do you hate him so much?
Happy Birthday Joe!
Obama went there to help out his shady cronies. There will be no greased wheels for his Rezko types.
Why do I hate him. I don't. But he is a lying sack of poop.
