A date of note--it's been a year since a Chicago alderman has been indicted!!
Yep, it's 365 days and counting since a Chicago alderman was indicted (Isaac Carothers on May 28, 2009). I think our city council deserves a round of applause.
The modern era record for an indictment-free city council is 17 months, 13 days during 1956-57. That excludes, of course, those dark days of World War II when so many eager beaver prosecutors were off fighting the Nazis. I have confidence in these men & women. I really believe they can break that old record and would advise setting 20 months, 11 days as the over/under line.
OMG, y'all. This week is going to go by soooooo sloooowwwwlllyyyy. I don't have students (they graduated last week), but I still have to come every day this week and a half day on Monday. My room only needs so much cleaning. I'm already getting bored.
It's very hard to get the brain going today.

Can you maybe find some aldermen who need to be indicted?

I could work on that.
Oh! and, because our district filters a TON of web sites, I can't access YouTube or TED Talks to do homework. (I'm taking a class on Cognition and Technology that uses a bunch of those videos.)

Indeed. And most of the other things I could do require stuff from other people. Stuff that I could do on partial brain-power, I mean.
my tummy is rumbling. the only food I have at my desk is oatmeal. do not want.
Shockingly, I am actually getting work done today. I guess I should write my resignation letter though. Y'all wanna write it for me?
