Well, Mother's Day is over, so happy Mother's Day.

I know Betty and I enjoyed Mother's Day.

Her boys came, our boys came over.

We made ribs.

That's all she wanted was her boys on her Mother's Day.

I wrote a column about how she almost killed me in the labor bed.

She hated the tie I had on, and she grabbed it when she was in the Hinsdale Hospital.

And she grabbed it and said, I told you not to wear this time.

And I was being dragged all across the delivery room.

Thanks for a nurse to save me.

And you know who needs a nurse right now?

The city of Chicago.

The city of Chicago needs an intensive care nurse because the moron in the fifth floor is not really taking care of business and the wounds

increase and fester and no one is there in the city government to do anything about it.

To talk about this with us is Ray Lopez, my friend and alderman of the 15th Ward, and I've seen him bravely

face down the gangs in his neighborhood. Joining us, as always, Jeff Carlin, executive producer

WGN Radio, my friend, future physics teacher, friend of cats

and husband to the lovely Christine. And me, I'm John Cass, editor of John Cass News, where you always

get a good cup of common sense. Join us, will you?

Subscribe today because journalism in this town is nowhere.

It's all corrupt.

And you have to get a couple ounces of penicillin if you read a paper in this town.
