The cycling initiatives have 1st Ward Ald. Proco "Joe" Moreno dropping the F-bomb in support. In March, Moreno, whose ward includes Wicker Park, visited Seville, Spain, for the Velo-city bicycle conference. Joining him were fellow bike-friendly, Spanish-speaking Northwest Side politicians, 30th Ward Ald. Ariel Reboyras and 35th Ward Ald. Rey Colon.

"Six years ago Chicago was ahead of Seville in terms of biking," says Moreno. "Now Seville has physically separated bike lanes and a bike-sharing system, and they've closed down their center city to cars. It's so easy to bike there, everybody's doing it: old people on adult tricycles, young men in suits and women in heels."

The aldermen presented their findings last month during a forum at Logan Square's Boiler Room pizzeria. Moreno discussed the Wicker Park bike corral and other innovative ideas to push pedaling in the neighborhood. Since recent CDOT counts show bikes make up 22 percent of daytime traffic on parts of Milwaukee Avenue, Moreno is exploring the possibility of removing one lane of car parking on the street from California to Division to make room for a Seville-style separated bike lane. Asked how meter lessee LAZ Parking would react to the loss of revenue if car spaces were removed, Moreno responded, "Fuck 'em." The crowd of cyclists went wild.

Ha. 

YEAH DOSE GUYZ MADE OUR MARE LOOK STOOPID.

They're all the rage in Heaven's Waiting Room, aka Southern Florida.

Dude, getting old sucks.  Adult tricycles are for old folks who want to cruise around but basically can't keep a bicycle balanced anymore.

Tim Pawlenty's hometown paper on the day of his announcement:

Sometimes slow and steady wins the race. Besides, didn't a tornado rip through the Twin Cities yesterday, making less urgent matters, um, less urgent?

Are you saying the tornadoes are to blame for Linda and Mary Ann's hairstyles?

Tim Pawlenty's hometown paper on the day of his announcement:

His hometown paper doesn't think much of Pawlenty, huh?  An ex-governor announces a presidential run and he's relegated to page 6?  I bet The Body would have gotten at least page 2.

It's just a pick-up of an AP story too, not even from their own reporter.

Not that this isn't commonplace, but further the notion that they don't give a crap about him or his campaign.

[Quality Start Machine]

The fact that his announcement is on the obituary page isn't exactly a ringing endorsement either.

At least give the guy some credit for paying lip serivce to the idea of telling the truth in a politcial campaign.

Not a ringing endorsement but appropriate given his chances in any election in 2012.

"We don't need to rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America, we need to reread the Constitution and enforce the Constitution. ... And I know that there are some people that are not going to do that, so for the benefit of those who are not going to read it because they don't want us to go by the Constitution, there's a little section in there that talks about "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,'" - Herman Cain

For the record, the man also has no clue about what the "right of return" is either.

Let's talk about small government....government so small, it can fit on the end of a vaginal probe prior to getting an abortion following an incident of rape or incest.

To wit:

Bear in mind, this legislation (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/tx/7578459.html) was considered an "emergency" for the state of Texas.

Texas, which, for the record, is: second to last in high school graduation rates, 47th in spending per student, second worst in food insecurity rates, and has one-third of its population in poverty.

It also faces a budget deficit of anywhere between 15 billion and 27 billion.

God bless America.
