Jeff Danziger for January 06, 2011

Question: Is Bill suspected of any kind of wrong doing, or is this a case of guilt by association?

“Ubi est mea” evidently means “Where’s mine?”

Or “Where am I?” It’s been a day or two since I had Latin, but I like your translation better, and I suspect it’s right, after all, “mea culpa” means “my fault”.

Is there a Latin translation site?

Gangsta?

I’ve heard tell that R. Daley is supposed to be a Rahm Immanuel clone.

Is that true?

Hugh Hefner left Chicago, can he send someone to liven up politics? Oh, wait, a number of politicians, in both parties, have tried that.

Supposedly he’s quite the centrist.

Bill Daley was also the guy who played Howard Borden on “The Bob Newhart Show” (it took place in Chicago, after all). I can just see him barging into the Oval Office (in a very NICE way, of course) saying “Hi, Barack! Where’s Emily? I mean Michelle.”

He can take some of the “Wacky Neighbor” duties off Joe Biden’s hands.

Oprah has a lot to atone for.

Obama in bed with the Mod? Like, Bryan Ferry? Cool. But I hope that doesn’t lead to conflict with the Rockers. Our country is divided enough already.

I used to live in a nice family neighborhood. Crime was almost nonexistant. (No one would dare.) They knew how to keep politics in its place.

“Ubi Est Mea” means “Where’s Mine”. It was one of the suggestions Mike Royko had as a replacement for the Chicago city motto which is “Urbs In Hortis”.

Mr. Danziger has obviously done some homework.

No worries, TCL, and I’m glad to have provided church with some amusement as well. It was a non-partisan dig, of as little substance as a will o’ the wisp.

In truth, I know nothing of this Daley boy, but my unserstanding is that his brother Little Richie has been both popular and successful during his tenure as Da Mare. Being from (downstate) Illinois, I’ve got some close up knowledge of the state’s Democratic Machine, but the Dems (in Illinois or elsewhere) hardly have a monopoly on machine politics. Mike Royko, who was just about my favorite newspaper columnist ever, may have had no great love for Daley Sr., but I don’t remember him ever saying anything good about the Republican opposition (as a class; he may have liked some of them individually).
