I don’t know about you, but I’m getting mighty near jaded with this whole election deal. Canada sound like a good idea? Maybe… But wait! — before you leave, see what Chicago’s got in store for you.
We’ve compiled the cream of this week’s events especially for your wearied head to comprehend.
Go on, they won’t bite — as hard as a PIT BULL. D’oh!
