Chicago's Meigs Field destroyed in overnight coup by mayor's wife

I heard first about this from a posting by Toren Smith last night. This morning I met my old flight instructor for racquetball, and it was the first topic of conversation. It's worse than I'd thought. I'm personally really pissed off at this because I visited that area of Chicago many years ago after Navy boot camp, and told myself that I'd eventually fly into that field. If you'd ever seen it - and the view from it - you'd be pissed too. Oh, and the only reason the polipukes were able to get their way with the field - the Mayor's wife wants a friggin' park there - was that this time they had - you guessed it - the excuse of (drumroll please): homeland security.
