I'm pasty, rested and ready to deal with your stupidity. I just need to have some caffeine.<br /><br />Good. <br /><br /> Why don't you go back to posting and shilling for the Denice campaign and stop playing with the grownups here. Ok?<br /><br />I'm guessing that this is Cappleman's way of attempting to help these gentlemen improve their lives before the Wilson's Men's Hotel disappears into the Uptown of old. Make it easier for them to find alternative housing as it's very likely that this building will be sold to someone who will renovate it and turn it into something else. Perhaps I'm wrong and it will remain the four star hotel it's known to be. I doubt it though.<br /><br />As for the idea that Cappleman is reacting to being "under fire". Please. The more you and Denice and the rest of the Shillerista dead enders attack him the better position he is in. <br /><br />Now Cappleman is not as devious as I am, but if he were he'd be paying Denice to run against him. It's the rough equivalent of that idiot Milk Man Oberweiss running against Senator Durbin. Oberweiss announced and Durbin likely chuckled and thanked the spirits for that bit of good luck.<br /><br />I've said it before and I'll continue saying it if you want to defeat Cappleman you need to do a number of things. First, find a candidate not named Denice Davis. Second, improve your game because right now your game ain't impressin' me. Third, consider selling your soul to Satan to secure a win. I'm not even sure Satan has the power to make that deal work. Fourth, see number one.IrishPiratehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339255909419333238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-75395663358819184032013-12-12T20:15:55.912-06:002013-12-12T20:15:55.912-06:00Good Politics.

I am ok with Alderman Cappleman coordinating temporary steps to improve the conditions for the men living in the Wilson Men's Hotel, but to market those steps as anything other than temporary is a disservice to the community. I really hope there is some way to fold that property into the Wilson El rehab if it does not get sold in the free market soon.
