The Chicago Way is a deep cultural phenomenon.

It's the Chicago Way.

The Chicago Way, that's the focus.

In a tower by the river, there lived a man.

There was a man who took a stand with pen and paper in his hand, defeating foes in every ward with a pen more mighty than the sword.

No escape from his ink lasso in the tower by the river.

Castle.

Here's how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun.

He sends 20 years to the hospital, and he says, when he hits the mall, that's the Chicago Way.

As Labor Day marks the end of summer and children complain and whine and have to go to back to school, maybe with masks on and ill annoyed, depending on how they do things.

Jeff Carlin, as a public service announcement, Jeff.

My fellow Americans, I think we need to put down the politics.

This needs to be a Labor Day weekend where we embrace our families.

We crack a cold one of our choice.

We fire up the grill with our chosen meat or meat substitutes.

And we take in what it is to be an American.

The freedoms we do have and put politics aside and hope if you're in Chicago or driving to grandma's house on the expressway, maybe hope you don't get killed because that's part of the Labor Day.

Unfortunately, yes, they hate to laugh, but yes, right.

That is true.

Depending on where you are.

I want to go to a socks game.

I don't want to get shot on the way home, you know, that kind of thing.
