Anyway, back to the scene at the pond. As I sat there watching the ducks and pondering the vagaries of union politics in Chicago, my cell phone rang. It was an alderman, calling about this or that.
“Did you hear that SEIU Local 73 donated 25 grand to Mayor Rahm?” I asked.
“No,” he said.
“What were they thinking? The dude’s got, like, $7 million in his bank account.”
“Now he’s got $7 million and $25,000,” the alderman said.
Then he laughed. As always, Chicago, the joke’s on you.
