NYT Discovers Chicago and Gorillas?

Seems the Old Grey Lady has awoken and realized that 1) there is a place called Chicago and 2) bad shit is happening there.

Sunday: A Weekend in Chicago: Where Gunfire Is a Terrifying Norm

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/06/04/us/chicago-shootings.html?...

Whereas most find the Police Blotter in their local paper with 1 or 2 column inches buried in the back with the ads once a week, the NYT finds a way to cover 4+ pages of a Blotter starting above the fold on Page 1.

No opinion, no analysis, no solutions. The only thing they commit to is "keeping in touch" with those 58 people shot and not killed over the weekend for the next year. Be sure to tune in next week?

Monday, But back to the important stuff...

Do Gorillas even belong in Zoos?

I'm from Boston, I was raised to hate NY (f Bucky Dent), but it's like the gift the keeps on giving.

The senile grey lady is on the loose.

Home of the Black Sox, Big Bill Thompson, Alphonse Capone (a business man), Rahm Emannuel, Rod Blagojevic, and of course Barack Obama. Oh for the days of Chicago dogs with lots of relish, onions, mustard (one never eats a Chicago dog with Ketchup (it's just not done). Now, in California, I realize that I like my Corruption hot and steamy, unlike the frozen poo we have to acquiesce to in the long, joyless winters back home.
