Comment on Moreno, Scott Tout ‘Public-Private Partnerships’ In Explaining Support of Infrastructure Trust by Todd Farkas

Todd Farkas — Tue, 15 May 2012 19:33:24 +0000

Lois Scott is a liar.
She said “[projects] Or they may be new, and involve a technology risk the public sector might not be ready for.”

This is the city that had a vibrant streetcar [surface-rail] system, 3 whole additional lines on EL stations [now gone], tunnels, fresh-water delivery network and this very same city raised itself tens of feet above existing foundations to accommodate the reversal of the river.

AND NOW she and the city geniuses think some projects may be too risky?
Did her parents raise her with outlet protectors and corner-guards on the coffer table? WHAT A WIMP.

We must undertake what is difficult in order to better our fair city…

Well I still kept going there around once a week cause I liked the place, but businesses don’t go bust for no reason. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

Plus if you asked the guy for something to throw at me 50/50 they’d probably be out of it so I’m not too worried.

understood, sweetpantnick, one of the reasons i was late in sending newsletter out was b/c i was feeling so displaced this week!! it just was not the same working elsewhere. dunkin donuts with bright lights is not the same as skewerz! and to billy bob… . So many people are quick to criticize but not as quick to praise. for the record in over three years of going there i think skewerz was only out of artichokes a couple times and my order was never messed up.

I’m not sure what the cursing policy on these comments is, so I’m just going to call billy bob a stupid jerk face. I obviously don’t know you billy bob, but you sound like a huge douche. If I ran into you at Skewerz I would punch you square in the face and then throw jasmine rice all over your cowering body.

Actually, that would be a huge waste of jasmine rice. I’m sure the cool dudes behind the counter would give me something to throw on you.

They got your order wrong? Poor baby, I used to get mad if they got my order right. You should stop sucking on your mom’s boobs and go eat somewhere else.

I never noticed if it was slow service because i sat down to work and had already lost track of time by that point. It was a bit pricey though i am guessing rent played a role in pricing. I liked the curried tofu skewer and sweet potato balls which i featured in one of first newsletters. Though like the reggae track, i pretty much always ate the same thing , the artichokes. Just so sad to see it close. Crocodile also is open late, has wifi and with a beer you get a free pizza though i preferred skewerz.

That’s nice an all but skewers food really went down the drain over the last year. It took forever to make the food, they always got my order wrong and would always be out of stock of half the things I wanted to order. It was also way overpriced. Probably wouldn’t have went out of business if they tried a little harder. Peace skewerz.

Comment on 14th District Police Respond to Suspicious Activity On 1800 Block of N. Milwaukee by Trey Deeb

Thank you so much, J.R., for your explanations at the end. It would have simply been droll without your rant at the end that has nothing to do with anything besides interjecting your toxic, biased, unethical comments that don’t change any of the important points of the story. A van was parked, it was traveling kids, they were questioned and let go. Run a blog if you want to complain about petty things, don’t try to turn someone else’s story into your own ‘what grinds my gears.’ You fail, sir. You epically fucking fail.
