Chicago is my hometown, though now I live in the D.C. area. I do not know what is worse, Chicago Politics or D.C. burakracy. They both stink. I have not heard anymore about that security guard in Springfield and would like to know what was going on. How in the world did that guy pass through the clearance with a gun? It baffles me? Was this a personal issue or was some terrorist network behind it to see if they could pull something even bigger? Scarry stuff.
