The announcement of Ken Lewis’ resignation sent shockwaves through crowds of people who don’t know who Ken Lewis is.
I bet no one called in sick to work to attend this one…
Quote of the year: “Hope is not an investment strategy”
@11 – lol
We were convinced our shady political machine would screw us over for another decade… this is an outrage. Oh well, back to pimping and selling senate seats.
I love the guy and chick taunting the sad blonde chick directly in the center- they look giddy as schoolgirls with the news! How much did that useless trip cost us, BO?

“Bad news boss! All of those campaign contribution checks from the Chicago Real Estate Developers just bounced!”
-Rahmbo
Heeerrress Greg!
Suck on my heaving manspear, faggots!
IOC
@33 it’s like we’re the same self-loathing person.
And suddenly it was crystal clear that the “Hillary Clinton 2010 Swimsuit Calendar” was not as ‘genius’ as market tests predicted!”
Shit. Now I won’t find a job until at least 2020.
The SAC trading floor upon hearing their new benefits would NOT include sex changes.

The IOC doesn’t care about black people.

We regret to announce that Soul Glo will be out of stock until Sunday.
I wish Bess did porn.

Something going down with Southridge Capital. Offices in NY and Ridgefield shut down by police. House of the owner also supposedly seized.
Any idea what’s cooking?
@56=cg
What what? In the butt.
If Chicago’s tax subsidies for the games dont fit, you must acquit.
should have had them come to chi for a boss bar>wiener circle experiece and it would have been a lock
Oprah should light the torch to your foreclosed house, right now.
This just in, black Jesus fails to walk on water…again.

I swear…I was gonna get a Brazilian wax myself and lose forty pounds to fit in that thong cause those Brazilian booty beotches don’t have nothin on me!
@14 FTW!
16-17 are spot on. Get back to work you fucking fucks. They are out there to celebrate being chosen for something SEVEN YEARS IN THE FUTURE! Eptiome of lazy assholes. Glad Chicago lost the bid. Why not go kill another honors student. Worst big city in the country.
@28…nice!
Second row, middle, with videocam…. she’s taking a shit in her pants.
He said my whatnow looks like cat gums?
“WAIT…why would anyone rather go to Rio than Cabrini Green”

8 bid at 9, 8 bid at 9. 8 sellers. 7 bid at 8.
“I knew we should have sent Blago”
“I’ve never really had a disappointment like this,” said Ken Rudd, a 33-year-old salesman from Evergreen Park. “This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen.”
Ohhhh really Ken?
Chicago not getting the Olympics is one of the saddest things you have ever seen? I can’t imagine how you would feel about a terrorist attack in America, losing a loved one or menial stuff like that.
Oprah’s so upset, she ate Denmark.
A test screening of Shia Lebeefs scenes shot thus far for “Money Never Sleeps”.
its comments like these that make my day
damn you were short goldman ouch
88 is right! How awful does this whining make Chicago look. That guy is a fucking jerk. Plain and simple.
Oh poor RIchard Daly, for once a Chicago politician couldn’t bribe or blackmail someone or some body into a decision.

MCC’s unbridled jingoism deserves a kick to the ovaries. Stupid fucking bitch.

Abe Froman noted Hooker Fucker and Sausage King of Chicago, dies in a fire while skull fucking a kitten.
#86 its… bid for, offered at – not that difficult
It’s obvious it was a right-wing conspiracy that caused Chicago to finish last in the IOC voting, one concocted by “The Brain” Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin
No Chicago politics here.. We don’t care who you think you are!
Who wants some of my killer kush?

@81, it’s a cross between bitter beer face and the face that Maria B makes when the Sage has cabbage soup for lunch.
The caption should read “Oprah actually shows the IOC Evaluation Committee what they can suck on”
Is the woman with the video camera crying like her baby just died ?
Is the woman with the video camera crying like her baby just died ?
the personification of everything that’s wrong with america
dont remember the last time i got this upset about something unrelated to loss of life
to woman holding the sign: oprah dosent live in Rio….
@112 “8 bid at 9″ means bid is 8, ask is 9… not that difficult
@86 “7 bid at 8″ isn’t going to get those kinds looks, I’d go with “1 bid at 2″. A lot more than 8 sellers, too:
Round 1: Madrid – 28, Rio – 26, Tokyo – 22, Chicago – 18
Round 2: Rio – 46, Madrid – 29, Tokyo – 20
Round 3: Rio – 66, Madrid – 32
I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of XXXXXL Orange 2016 Chicago Olympics shirts on E-Bay soon
The situation, pictures and captions support all the Pro Choice votes in a way yelling and campaining never will.
Front row:
Please report back to the cotton fields.
And Here is a pic of Rio…. I just don’t understand why we lost.

Obama has just released a statement.
He says the IOC is wee-weed up.
What what? In the butt.
You wanna do me in the butt? In the butt.
@134 ftw
This will clearly rile some idiot’s feathers, but what did we expect when a trio including barack, michelle, and oprah represented the US in Copenhagen?
@104
Why is the cork on the fork?

@137 obviouly the recent footage of some black kid getting beaten to death with a 2×4 on the streets of Chicago helped the cause no end.
i’m happy Chicago lost. The place fucking sucks. Worse than NYC which isn’t saying much.
I hate my fucking job. Anyone out there hiring?
@naked/140

Enterprising young marketing executive at US Tobacco gets idea for future ad campaign
Alright Rio, I’ma let you finish but lemme tell you something Chicago is the most corrupt city of ALL TIME!
Excuse me while I whip this out.
Let’s be honest, nobody outside of the US has any idea who Oprah is. People probably wondered: “Why is the housekeeper of the Obamas making the pitch?”
“Let’s be honest, nobody outside of the US has any idea who Oprah”

Great Thread.
