THE PERSISTENT IRRITATION

Bad PowerPoint, bad PR

This is a tad disturbing. I've spent much of the evening reading about this, so not sure whose hat to tip. Probably Salon but possibly NYT or TechHerald.

And while we're on the subject of privacy, what's up with scribd.com anyway?

Video - 35th Ward Aldermanic Forum

Earlier this week, the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce hosted a forum for 35th ward candidates. Miguel Sotomayor, Nancy Schiavone and incumbent Alderman Rey Colon spoke for 90 minutes on a variety of business and community issues including parking, schools, public safety and that mysterious thing called Menu Money.

Alderman Ed Bus Beats the Blizzard

 

Snow May Cancel 53rd Ward Alderman’s Press Conference But Not His Work Ethic

Due the first blizzard in as many years, Alderman Ed Bus’ press conference originally scheduled for Wednesday was canceled. The press conference will be scheduled for 10:30 am Thursday February 10, 2011 at 10:30 am on the 2nd  floor of Chicago City Hall 121 N La Salle St  Chicago, IL.

The aldermen (53rd) is proud to announce that he is the only mayoral candidate who can shovel snow at a rate of 3½ blocks a hour. No other candidate can match Alderman Bus’ speed at clearing snow.

“In my years of public service a few flakes have stood in the way of my progress, but never a snow flake,” said the alderman. “With the Ed Bus Tumblers leading the way we have cleared the sidewalks right down to the cracks I personally chalked and duct taped last summer.”

“Of all my ethics that have been questioned, not once has my work ethics been called on the carpet.” added Bus. “and I have more ethics than any other candidate currently or previously running for the fifth floor or the Mayor’s office.”

At the press conference next week, Alderman Ed Bus, Chicago’s mayoral candidate for Chicago, will answer a couple of questions on a few subjects. He hopes that this transparent process will satisfy the jackals among our esteemed media esprit de corps.

The Alderman’s Press Secretary, Media Consultant and Racetrack Advisor Jack “The Flack” Wabash is willing to work with certain members of the fifth estate who are willing to work with him, so please fax your 8 x 10 publicity photo to ensure your spot blocking the other cameras.
