In other news, if anyone wants to visit Chicago, this weekend through 8/22 is the time.
It will be safer than it's been in years in that short period, and safer than it will be for years to come. The Secret Service (insert chuckles here) and National Guard will be present, in addition to Chicago Police and Illinois State Police.
Hotels will not be cheap, and the best restaurants will be a tough table.
But this is the time to go, while the lipstick is on the pig (no offense to pigs).
