They were highly conservative and practical there, but they still voted the liberal line even for Brown. My mother worked for the Dept of Agriculture and told me stories of how Brown mistreated people below him. She still voted for him.

I just think Illini and particularly Chicagoans find something terribly attractive about these crooks. My mother, a very modest and conservative woman, spoke rather admiringly (though not approvingly) of Al Capone. Considering her view of California politicians and their hangers-on, I never could completely understand that. Maybe it's a good thing we left Chicago semi-permanently in '47 so that the Los Angeles smog could clear her head.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-76055645251142911822010-04-05T18:18:44.830-04:002010-04-05T18:18:44.830-04:00LawHawk,

I wonder if there is a photo-shop of Chicago Politicians coming out of some dark lagoon covered in grotesque political mucus. It would at least give us some warning.Joel Farnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15856960977033430002noreply@blogger.com
