It's just when we look closely into the politics of the Left that things get ugly.<br /><br />@JustaJeepGuy- If Trump wins re-election (and he MUST) the agony expressed by the Dems will be wonderful to see. Christmas may indeed come early in 2020!<br /><br />@Brie Camembert- I'm still betting that Hillary <i>will</i> be the candidate. It will be interesting to see how things unfold.<br /><br />@McChuck- Wow, it's the happiness algorithm!<br /><br />@Rod- Thanks for the compliment! Although what I do isn't so much "reporting" as it is "pissing in the wind" (grin).<br /><br />@M. Mitchell Marmel- I'd LIKE 2020 to be a nothingburger, but by the pricking of my thumbs <i>something</i> wicked this way comes...<br /><br />@NaCly- An "oasis of fun," huh? Yeah, I like the sound of that!<br /><br />@capt fast- Great (though sad) points about the complete failure of the Democrats when it comes to the kill zone that is Chicago. How this is allowed to continue day after day and year after year is a genuine mystery to me. But Illinois just raised taxes yet again, so maybe now they'll be able to fix the problem. Ha! Just kidding! They'll waste the tax money and the streets will still run with blood.<br /><br />@Alfonso Bedoya- "Arkancide" isn't a creation of mine, but it darn well SHOULD be in the dictionary! And I'll give your regards to Busty and Lucy, who don't seem to age because laughter keeps people young. Well, laughter and a little cosmetic surgery when needed.<br /><br />@Will Hepburn- Thanks for the nice words! I'd <i>love</i> to get the call from someone in the Trump administration to join the team and supply wiseguy material for tweets, memes, or skywriting campaigns. I used to write daily topical comedy which was syndicated nationally to radio station air personalities to (ahem) "ad-lib" on the air. Now <i>that</i> was a fun gig!<br /><br />@Shelly- Glad you enjoyed the recap! So much gets left out, but what's there does make for a fun (and sometimes frustrating) journey.<br /><br />@stloucat- I always advise people to avoid liquids when reading my stuff. Then again, I consider it high praise when someone does a spit take or nostril blowout.<br /><br />@igor- I don't doubt that 2020 will provide plenty of material. I wish it <i>wouldn't</i>, as I'd like to spend less time being honked off (grin).<br /><br />@robsan- I've corrected the text to indicate that Trump is, indeed, only the third President to be impeached - not to mention the first and only to be impeached for no frigging reason. I made the mistake of getting the "fourth to be impeached" figure from multiple mainstream news stories without doing further checking. When will I ever learn?<br /><br />@Terry- My pleasure! And quite possibly my obsession.<br /><br />@Anonymous- I like to sometimes throw in jokes that no one will understand if they're younger than I am.

Yes, that democrat stronghold of the faithful(a real-life parody of the book "animal farm") has raised the bar for all other cities to emulate when it comes to gun control. Not even new york city comes close. indeed, oakland california may give it a good run for the record, but Chicago holds fast to its roots of al capone and the bent nosed boys playing it rough. <br />totals for the year are in, folks; 2,754 people shot with 513 dead from gunshot. the Chicago Law Enforcement community has a staggering success rate of less than 20% clearance of cases for the year. yes, you have a one in five chance of being caught and tried for murder in the windy city. so take your "problems" to Chicago this coming year for all your Arkancide needs. And yes, I'm looking at you Hillary.
