Of ball gowns and body bags

US spending on planned Inaugural Balls: $40 million

US spending on tsunami relief: $35 million.

Murder Capital: Denied!

Well, it truly is a sad day for Chicago. We are no longer the murder capital of the United States. Hard to imagine that last year there were over 600 murders in Chicago. This year there were less than 450.

I guess we can all go to feeling safe in the big city again.
