It has helped many former drunks to a better sober life. Instead Uptown takes the approach of methadone clinics and homeless shelters.americanlthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338645866208360060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-3634876671125939092013-12-13T16:10:56.892-06:002013-12-13T16:10:56.892-06:00OMG.

She would have to stop taking...Well let's see. She would have to stop taking her pension, but after four years her pension would likely be boosted about $20,000 a year based on the higher salary. About a "wash" for the city financially maybe a bit of a benefit to Saint Helen of the Strip Club lobbyists depending on when the grim reaper decides to visit her. I believe her mom lived well into her nineties which means Mister Reaper may be waiting for two decades plus for that one way trip to the lower regions of the afterlife.<br /><br />I wonder what Shiller's version of hell would be. Probably something like living in a completely gentrified Uptown with nothing but yuppies, buppies, guppies and one former YICCUP--Young Irish Catholic College Education Urban-Warrior Gentrifier Professional. Not a meth clinic or Intentional Community in sight. There would be an invisible wall separating Shiller from a nearby community that was identical to Uptown circa 1975, but she could only see it and never travel there.<br /><br />She's a noted budget expert? Yeah and my ass smells like red red roses after one of my 80 mile bike rides on a sunny Sunday in July.<br /><br />She must really miss being a player. Here's a better idea. Run for 46th ward alderman, Helen. It may mean moving a few blocks south, but you can do it. Uptown needs your vision, your hard work, and frankly I need the laugh at the potential of the campaign.<br /><br />Perhaps Denice with a "C" would refuse to drop out and we could have a real circus on our hands. Littleton would probably end up in some kind of manic convulsions as he jumped up on a table at meetings and started twerking while reciting his ABC's for the bemused and horrified crowd.<br /><br /><br />Now sixteen of the current aldermen never served with Helen. Including Alderman Pawar who's a decent guy, but needs to get his head out of his anus on this issue. Perhaps he was just being polite, but if he picks Saint Helen I will move to the forty seventh and run against him. Unlike that Schulterian hack he ran against last time I will win. I have strong family ties to the "Twelve Step House" at the SW corner of Damen and Sunnyside.
