Here are several more comments I have to make about the NATO Summit based on information I acquired from The Chicago Tribune.
1. Metra trains that ran under McCormick Place were re-routed and customers faced delays-but that's not why Metra customers were angry. The real reason is that many Metra commuters were asked to abandon their coffee cups before boarding trains for security purposes. THE INJUSTICE. Chicagoans were supportive of the added safety measures but they had to draw the line somewhere.
2. Protestors were told they could not stop outside of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home in Ravenswood, so they moved one block North.
POOR RAHM EMAUNEL'S NEIGHBORS.
Also, one of his neighbors was outside with his dog and was yelled at by a protestor and asked how he could live next to such a monster.
POOR RAHM EMANUEL'S NEIGHBORS.
ALSO POOR RAHM EMANUEL'S NEIGHBOR'S BLACK LABRADOR RETRIEVER. ( I hope all of that was gramatically correct...)
3. A group from the Occupy Movement in another state waited hours for a bus that Occupy Chicago was supposed to send. It was supposed to take them somewhere they could stay during the summit. The bus never came.
SHOCKER.
4. And finally, once again, the Trib decided to be EXTRA helpful by defining basic terms/places for its readers. This week the Trib decided to define Heathrow. It's a pretty large international airport in London. Thank you Chicago Tribune.
I swear I'm done. The news and the media is done. The NATO Summit is done. Now we can go back to the real news! I for one am eager to hear what the Kardashian girl decides to name her new baby.
Until next time.
