Watchoo Talkin' Bout Willis?

In my lifetime it will always be Sears Tower. Always. Plain and simple. But I cannot boycott Willis Tower since my hubby works in the building. I'm wondering if Willis has stock in some kind of printing business since everyone in Rick's office (and I'm sure all other companies in Sears) have to get new business cards and letterhead printed with Willis Tower instead of Sears Tower on them.
What are they trying to do to our great city? First they take away our beloved Marshall Fields, then in comes that nasty ass Trump and his mostly vacant tower, and now Willis. What's next? Renaming Chicago to Oprahland?! ARGH!

Are You Serious?

My days start pretty much the same each day. Coffee and Tribune. I love my Tribune. But today on the cover of the "Live!" section is a picture of, who else, Oprah leaning on that guy from the Obama rally in Grant Park. Apparently he is going to be or has been a guest on her show. I'm not sure which since I did not read the article nor will I ever watch Oprah. This guys is getting his 15 minutes of fame because Oprah leaned on him at the rally?! C'mon. If I am in a large crowd, or anywhere for that matter, and some stranger leans his/her head on my shoulder I am sure it won't turn out well for that stranger. My reply could be any of these:

Get your fucking head off my shoulder asshole!
What the fuck is your problem?
Or maybe just a quick elbow to the Adam's apple!

Here's a topic for Oprah's next show: How to minimize your risk of catching cold or the flu by not letting strangers drool on you. Maybe Barack can give Oprah a position in his administration and take her to Washington. I can dream, can't I?

I Love NY But.........

.........Not Macy's. In the Chicago Tribune this morning, there was an article about how Macy's is still suffering poor sales since discarding the Marshall Field name. Really?! I am extremely proud to say that I have not even set foot in Macy's since they came to Chicago two years ago. And I have no intention of ever doing so. The funny thing is when we would travel I used to love to shop at Macy's. Now I'm just pissed. My daughter was a fourth generation Marshall Field shopper. How could they do that to us? I miss those green shopping bags. At Christmastime, the best day was was a long day of shopping at Field's on State Street. I did not even go downtown to see the Christmas windows last year. Long story short, Macy's is putting out some new ads this fall to try and get back all the lost shoppers. Problem is the ads feature Jessica Simpson and Donald fucking Trump. Chicago does not want Macy's and bringing in Donald Trump is only going to worsen things. How did they think that would help? The Donald, and his obnoxious new development on the site of the old Sun-Times building, and Macy's should go back to New York. PRONTO!

Maybe they could even take Oprah with them!
