This just in: Chicago didn’t get the 2016 Olympic games.
Lucky them. No, seriously.
The story at the Chicago Tribune is here (click) and I am being perfectly serious. I speak from experience.
Utah had an Olympic games once. We bribed people to get them — my favorite bribe was the hundreds of dollars worth of door knobs someone on the IOC got — and lobbied like heck, and spent a gazillion dollars and got out of it, as near as I can see, nothing.
OK, we got world wide fame. We got some nifty pictures on our highway overpasses. We all have drawers full of cute little pins.
Whoopie-dee-do.
