Those are the pick of the litter? They are simply awful.

Save the county money, keep the same old flag and skip the whole exercise. Cook County has more compelling issues.

The flag should have a hand stealing the wallet out our back pocket.

Maybe the flag should have the tape/chalk outline of the dead bodies.

Cook County’s flag should just be a toilet with money being flushed

You won’t find a toilet in Pritzker’s house — when it’s time to pay the property taxes.

Cook County may just want to wave the surrender flag. It’s all over.
