Last fall, an intrepid group of environmental wackos decided it would be really cool to strap themselves together and lay down in the middle of the intersection of LaSalle and Adams in downtown Chicago (see picture to the right). Oh boy, what a hoot. Inconvenience everyone just to say something that no-one really cared about. I remembered when this happened. I looked for a newspaper article about it, and even the liberal media here in Chicago was bored with it - sadly, no articles.
Surprisingly, the City of Chicago wasn't so bored with the idea. The City has decided to fine these goofballs $8,340 for their little stunt so they are begging for money. For once, I think Mayor Daley is a fantastic Mayor.
