Canvassing for Hillary in 2016, I had quite a few people tell me they hadn’t made up their minds and were “praying on it.” They were too embarrassed to admit they were voting for Trump. Bet every one of those simpletons did it three times.

I saw a bobbling toddler the other day and told him he looked like the Stay Puft marshmallow man. He chuckled like he got the reference, but his 20-something mama was flummoxed.

I don’t know if it’s overcharging? From the Alabama trafficking code: (3) He or she knowingly gives, or attempts to give, monetary consideration or any other thing of value to engage in any sexual conduct with a minor or an individual he or she believes to be a minor.

Yep. (3) He or she knowingly gives, or attempts to give, monetary consideration or any other thing of value to engage in any sexual conduct with a minor or an individual he or she believes to be a minor.

Your sentence about flying close to the sun makes me think about something that’s always mystified me: why do people with massive skeletons in their closets seek political power? The thrill of risk? A legit belief that they’re special enough to escape scrutiny? I can’t wrap my head around it.

Yep. And now I’m wondering if there were others I’ve forgotten. Hyde’s “youthful indiscretion” comment about an affair he had in his 40s became a comic phrase for the ages.

This brings back so many memories. Wasn’t Helen Chenoweth (not a candidate for speaker, obviously, but a loud Clinton critic) also outed as having an affair? Were there others? I remember feeling like the GOP was a clown car full of sexual hypocrites.

We know no one will enforce it. The question was why no one is even demanding it. There’s value in keeping this stuff in the public eye even when the ruling party is too corrupt to take action.

Nicely done. Apropos of nothing, I think the on-screen chemistry she had with William Hurt in Body Heat remains one of the hottest in film history. I need a cold shower every time I watch that movie.

Just saw a green CyberTr*ck turning left off 11th onto Wabash. I burst out laughing. Car windows were open, and the driver, red-faced, flipped me off and used some very bad words. I hadn’t even pointed at the M*skmobile or anything. Guess he must have this happen regularly.

Feels a bit like Charlie Brown with the football to hope about Texas *again*, but it’s certainly encouraging that Talarico is posting numbers no other recent Democrat has.

A tale as old as Chicago: Person 1, an average voter: Corruption, self-dealing and conflicts of interest in city govt are bad. Person 2, highly invested in the above: So you’re a perfect and pure person, huh? Sigh. I’d almost rather deal with Republicans—they’re upfront about their own depravity.

nil desperandum @nildesperandum.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

You’re far too old to be engaging in this sophomoric binary thinking. Your husband has a very mixed ethical record. So did Daley. I get it—you *need* to revise history for your own comfort in your later years. But it’s not my job to help you with that self-deception. Better luck to the Cubs tonight.

I mean, look at how this convo started. Your sketchy spouse didn’t call out Emanuel for coverups of the McDonald murder, lead levels, or police violence. He didn’t decry Rahm’s epic mishandling of the schools or the same TIF abuse and contract shenanigans that Richie pulled. No, your husband’s…

“Rich Daley always put the public first” is legit blind sycophancy—it takes a pathological level of self-delusion to ignore his long list of utterly corrupt deeds. You might have had a shred of credibility if you admitted he had a mixed record on ethics. As it is, you just sound desperate and sad.

It’s always curious when people claim their corruption doesn’t count because “public service.” Your husband’s scandals are public record, ma’am. Mocking people who point out his ethical lapses won’t change his history.
