Behind the Bid | Chicago 2016
http://behindthebid.blogspot.com/index.html
Sunday, April 15, 2007. USOC Selects Chicago over Los Angeles for 2016 U.S. Candidate. Ah yes, be careful what you wish for, you might get it.the USOC's 11-member Board of Directors selected Chicago over Los Angeles to be the U.S. candidate for the 2016 Olympic Games. We believe Los Angeles had a much more reliable plan, there are some serious issues with Chicago's temporary stadium concept and we think there are many aspects of the bid that must change in order to win internationally. The USOC must take...

Chicago Hub: October 2010
http://chicagohub.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 30, 2010. Old friends face voters Tuesday. Two sons of Irish immigrants – mutual childhood friends from the old neighborhood, which we, like other whites, fled long ago – are in a tight, nasty fight for a state-senate seat on Chicago’s Far Northwest Side. Both candidates, like me, are from big Irish Catholic families. Mulroe’s father, a longtime laborer with Peoples Gas, often carted a gang of us kids in his station wagon to various sporting events. On the campaign trail, Mulroe often r...

Chicago Hub: October 2009
http://chicagohub.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 8, 2009. Friends forever from St. Angela. I wrote the following for the ad book for St. Angela School's Oct. 25, 2009 fundraiser:. Still, though, there is a school, a community centered on its students thrives there 89 years after SAS opened. The St. Angela parish community that I grew up in from the early 1960s till the early 1980s was tight knit. My father had grown up in the parish, from the late 1920s till the late 1940s, having been born there a few years after SA's 1916 founding.

Behind the Bid | Chicago 2016: Opinion | Games Plan Tough to Follow
http://behindthebid.blogspot.com/2007/03/opinion-games-plan-tough-to-follow.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Opinion Games Plan Tough to Follow. Chicago Tribune - Opinions. By Dennis Byrne, a Chicago-area writer and consultant. March 26, 2007. Hey, wait a minute. I thought that Mayor Richard M. Daley said holding the 2016 Olympics in Chicago wouldn't cost taxpayers anything. But there's also some of the public-be-damned way the public's business is conducted here, based on the belief that the public, even if it could understand what's going on, would screw things up. That's too ba...

Chicago Hub: Passion for 2nd Amendment not needed
http://chicagohub.blogspot.com/2009/07/passion-for-2nd-amendment-not-needed.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Passion for 2nd Amendment not needed. Yes, I do understand and respect – but reject as founded on needless worries – the argument that citizens need to be armed in case they need to protect themselves from thugs or from the government. And, despite my sometime irreverence, I do appreciate the passionate belief, which many have, in gun rights and in the 2nd Amendment. But some seem to believe that the constitution is a sacred document. I don't. Many would argue that guns need to ...

Tuesday, July 28, 2009. The 2nd Amendment should be repealed. Yes, Right 2 is confusingly worded, but, much more importantly, we Americans simply don’t need it and shouldn’t have it. David J. Jordan.

Chicago Hub: June 2010
http://chicagohub.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 10, 2010. Former West Siders do battle in Northwest Side legislative race. I voted in February for one of my two old West Side friends in Illinois' 10th District state senate primaries, the winning Democrat, attorney John Mulroe. My two fellow 1970s St. Angela Elementary graduates are fighting it out for the seat held by retiring James DeLeo, D-Chicago, the Illinois senate's assistant majority leader, who has been a legislator since 1984.
