On college presidents asking for the drinking age to be lowered from 21 to 18:
“Will that be the motto: ‘Come to my university. Drink as much as you can as long as you pay your tuition’? … Do you think you send your son or daughter to come home as an alcoholic? … That’s a bad message … I’m sorry. You have enough time to drink the rest of your life.”
And more!
“You think the president of the university is gonna open a beer hall in his house? Do you think the coach of the baseball team or football team will open it up? They should raise their standards and think that drinking is not part of college life. … Everybody has responsibility on this and drinking at universities isn’t something you should be proud of. … You don’t send your son or daughter to learn how to drink at universities. You send ‘em for an education.”
The last time I drank the stuff I woke up and saw a wig hanging from the bedpost. It looked like someone had replaced a transmission on the pillow next to me and there were eyelashes stuck to my face. I got dressed and got the hell out of there.
A hilarious Chicago cop talking about the last time he drank whiskey when I told him I really needed some.
Ok, I don’t hate everything. I hate my job. I hate the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. I hate this piece of shit Lean Cuisine pizza bread I am eating for dinner. I hate that I can’t find a couch. I hate hipsters that wear fedoras.
All this hate generally causes me to turn to the thing I continue to love, despite how sick it has made me in the past:

John Power, I fucking love you.
There is a tornado warning for Cook County right now. The storm is crazy. It’s all over the news, radio and right outside your window (if you live here, that is). My coworker thought it would be funny to call the CPD News Affairs number and say:
“So, I hear there is a storm or something. What’s up with that?”
I thought the cop would be really pissed but she was as amused as I was.

Mom: Girl, 8, given inappropriate music at camp
“Also among the items was a tape by the band Bikini Kill that the concerned mom said had sexual content so explicit she was too embarrassed to repeat it. She said the music also had racially offensive content.”
That mom can suck my left one. Heh.
Suggestion for a city slogan from a secondcitycop reader responding to a post about the weekend violence:
“CHICAGO: IF OUR TAXES DONT KILL YOU OUR CHILDREN WILL”
Hmm.
This is hilarious, FYI.
