The new symbol for the GOP
"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow |

For convenience of reference . . . .
. . and because I intend to slip this onto Nick Petrele's ultra-conservative board - I have set it up on a simple Web page (images resized and corrected for colors (the blue was a little dark and the red very much too dark)).

You so naughty...
And to pick on Nick like that!

Re: looking for boss tweed, not timeline
Boss Tweed was in New York at Tammany Hall. You're off by several hundred miles.

Re: there was a difference between tweed and daley?
Yep - Daley is historically respected, while Tweed was just a crook.
