Jeff Tiedrich - Chicago cordially invites the Mad King to go fuck himself [View all]

the poet Carl Sandburg famously described Chicago as the ‘City of the Big Shoulders.’ he also called it

‘Hog Butcher for the World,
Tool maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation’s Freight Handler.’

if old Carl were writing that poem today, he’d have to add a new line — because Chicago has now become the city of Go Fuck Yourself, Donny Convict.

oh look — America’s Mad King isn’t the only person who gets to sign executive orders.
