From December 27, 2009, Chicago Tribune
2000-- Jan. 31-- Gov. George Ryan announces a moratorium on the death penalty. Criminals across Illinois breathe a sigh of relief.
2001-- Jan. 18-- The Rev. Jesse Jackson admits that he had an extramarital affair and fathered a child. You'd think a reverend would know better.
2002-- Enron scandal brings down Chicago-based Arthur Anderson accounting firm. When you lie with such, don't be surprised.
2003-- June 29-- Porch collapse in Lincoln Park kills 13. At least it got Chicago to begin looking at all those aging porches and stairs.
2004-- July 16-- Millennium Park opens (wasn't it supposed to open in 2000?)
2005-- October 26-- Chicago White Sox win World Series. Any Cub fans remember the last time their team did?
2006-- April 17-- Ex- Gov. Ryan convicted of public corruption. Give me the money.
2007-- Feb. 4-- Bears reach Super Bowl but lose to Indianapolis Colts. Can anybody say Gross Rexman.
2008-- Nov. 4-- Obama elected president, claims victory at Grant Park Rally. Still waiting for all this "change."
2009-- Oct. 2-- Chicago loses Olympic bid. Bet some insiders miss that money.
When Was the Governor Who Wouldn't Live in Springfield Arrested? --RoadDog
