What a sordid story this would make for defendants in a case. Chicago purchasing managers announced at 9:45am, with moves 5 minutes after and 5 minutes before in conjunction telescoping the 2 point decline…

What most mid-westerners know that can be lost in the hub of the city is in the US– we truly love our rich friends…because most of them give us the best service, work the hardest and are the most talented people we know.

Yesterday, at lunch I gladly gave $10 for just a hamburger and fries to my friend Nic at Penn and 16th. It is the best hamburger you will ever eat. He always has a line out the door. And if anybody ever goes hungry for anything, it is more conversation or not getting enough time to talk to Nic or his interesting help JoVon because they have to head back to the office. Likewise at the OK Runner, I try to go during the week so there may be the chance to talk about the local runners before I pay $20-$30 extra for a pair of shoes. Because they are too busy helping customers during the weekend. We may have complained about our lawyers bill for our 1st will, but it definitely was worth every cent with the advice not to settle with the insurance company too quickly when my wife was in an accident and her concussion 6 months later turned into complications.

And there was no complaint about the bills from the gynecologist when she twice miraculously saved my first born's life by perfect timing, gutsy diagnosis and a prenatal surgery. I even like my insurance agent, and gladly would spend a day fishing with him. And do not get me started on buying used cars from my gear head friend that probably does get a couple hundred extra out of me every time I buy a car. But I have never had a problem with his cars so the security is more than worth it.

What does make us mad is the cheats and scoundrels that become rich. If any politician really wanted to use his position to become popular with the masses, it would be to convict those that believe to big to fail also means to big to prosecute…and run their businesses as ethical parallel opposite of Eliot's "The Untouchables". This is where Main Street hates Wall Street. It is an ethical line that is crossed, not some $ of income line in the sand.
