We voted for mayor and City Council in Chicago on Tuesday. Well, a few of us did. Well, a few of them did. I didn’t vote, because there was no choice. Mayor Daley, running against three no-name candidates who couldn’t even afford yard signs, not to mention TV ads, garned 79 percent of the vote and won all 50 wards.

A record-low turnout of about 400,000 voters definitely put a damper on Da Mare’s festivities. U.S. Census stooges counted 2.8 million people in Chicago proper in 2000. That means, if I have the math right, that only 14 percent of Chicagoans voted. And only 12 percent voted for Daley.

Wow. It’s like the opposite of Iraq where 100 percent turned out for Hussein. This is dictatorship by apathy. Another great Daley achievement.
