1. Rev. Pfleger, WTF?
Not to go totally Vatican on you guys, but WTF wonders why it took so long for Chicago’s Catholic cardinal to whap Rev. Michael Pfleger upside his head with an incense burner.
Bishops hate when parish priests tell them to go fly a liturgical kite. Pfleger stuck out his chin and dared the bishop to smite him. Consider yourself smited. Or is it smote? We have the smoting gun.

But that was before he tried the potato salad.

Someone Might Still Love Me
Demeter in semi-profile,
like Illinois on a map:
sharp brow, full cheek,
lake to her left ear,
glassine underworld
of wrecked ships
and crashed planes,
lovers and suitors
plucked by Hades
who is Time.

1. Jean-Claude Brizard, WTF?
There is no specific element of J-C Brizard’s hiring to run Chicago’s schools that announces unequivocally: Well, of course, that makes perfect sense.
Ah, but there is.
Rahm Emanuel’s thinking is transparent only if you have dark, cynical soul. It just so happens that WTF does.

“A Belgian-style wheat ale brewed with honey and spices, a great beer for quenching the thirst of Chicago. Windy City Wheat swirls in the mouth with a pleasant sweetness and a zesty, orange-citrusy fruitness settling nicely into the honey tones.”

Found this car in Chicago, IL, April 8th, 2011, with Sticky Notes all over, and Passer Bys were leaving notes, like on a Facebook Wall.

1. Rahm’s Inaugural, WTF?
Welcome to the Rahm Emanuel Stone Deaf/Tin Ear Inauguration. Recession? Homeless people under the bridges? We’ll get to that later. The city’s sort of broke? So? Pass the champagne and the check. Mass-produced potholes so deep you need a guided burrow tour to get to the bottom? Walk it off. Pass the cake. Put the cash in the duffel bag.

Another annual Chicago Kitesurfing Crew meeting in spring. First-person view of what kiting is all about. Winds 20-25 knots from the south on a great 80-degree day in April.

While attending a “We Are One” rally in Chicago’s Daley Center I wandered across the street to admire these bas reliefs on the front of the Cook County Building.
