What Chicago is talking about this week:
It's not the first time in recent memory it's been brought up (Blago-boy suggested it a few years back), but a proposal is afoot to bring the National Guard to Chicago to tame the violence running rampant in the city. It's nothing new to see in the news that kids are killing kids, that high school age children are being gunned down, that babies of baby gangsters are being shot up in drive-by shootings, that baseball bat beatings are all the rage in Bucktown ... and, sadly, I could go on and on.
When I have to pull over for the tanks driving through town to maintain order, it's going to be easy for me to think I'm in some adaptation of a Stephen King novella -- and I'll be on the lookout for the supernatural element that is undoubtedly following. Maybe the Asian carp that are invading the Great Lakes will find some way to flood downtown and go all pyrahnnic -- morphed into something bigger from the underground nuclear reactor at UIC. And, of course, if all that goes down, it might finally be time to sign up to join the family compound being built nearby in Indiana!
