Get rid of unions!!! They served a purpose years ago when employers took advantage of their workers. Now they just support a bunch of fatcats.

Got that right madman! It's coming, they've bled the pig as much as they can. Soon Cook County residents won't have a pot to pee in, then the unions will strike for more $$ from who? Besides, can you believe that these knuckleheads walk away from work in a deep recession? Now that's some thinking going on right there! Glad we have the best and brightest working in the trades.

Don't feel bad!
I have been there in Rosemont, IL. They were talking about building casino for 10 yrs., yeah I was hoping they be done soon but didn't.

My company left this area in 2001. I do stop in and they built Movies Theater instead of casino. I was unhappy about this.

I do visiting lot of villages.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Aquarius

Watch out if you're going shopping, because you'll be tempted to splash out on impulse buys. This doesn't matter so much if you're feeling flush, but it could cause problems if you're supposed to be counting every penny. Whatever the state of your finances, you may buy items you don't need and possibly even won't like when you look at them again tomorrow.
