Summary and audio linked here.
Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

I was unfortunate enough to be stuck in a car and scanning the radio dial one day and ended up on 670 The Score. In addition to the banter regarding grown men playing kids games (albeit playing them very well…mostly), I heard an on-air personality issue multiple rants that I would expect from a perpetually adolescent lunatic Hollywood millionaire. Listening to this guy spewing endless screeds of hate towards anyone possessing a different political slant than his, I wondered who this nutcase was but would have rather listened to a discussion of what happened in yesterday’s ball games.

Think about it. Have you ever really known an avowed liberal who wasn’t deranged. Imagined grievances are their stock in trade. It can’t be the loser’s fault for their situation. There have to be boogey men. And the natural target is the perceived winners.
Bernstein is a pathetic lib loser and really bad radio host. Many, perhaps most, Chicago Score listeners don’t like the guy. He’s arrogant, but stupid, a bad combo for a radio guy.
What’s wrong with this guy? Maybe him and Keith Olbermann can have a podcast together, “The Trump Hating Sports Show Hosts who Got Fired Hour”. Looks appropriate to me…
I don’t think this is a simply case of a liberal hating someone. Going by his WSCR days and this latest tantrum he seems to have significant emotional issues and a huge mean streak. Theres something wrong with the guy beyond just politics.
True, but TDS is a psychological phenomenon of some kind for many of the afflicted.
Wow! Who made him king of the universe? I think it would not be easy to find another human who is more full of himself than this idiot, who now has the name “Fired Radio Host.” Enjoy your time off. What a great time to reflect on your inadequacies as we enter the Christmas season.
Bernstein is the type of guy that would draw children into his web of hatred, but would slink away looking for an ambulance chasing lawyer when he gets a well deserved punch in his big mouth.
Bernstein is a TDS Turd that needs to be flushed.
Every Single Time
He is the main reason I stopped listening to 670 the score long ago. They couldn’t just stick to sports talk. Have not followed pro sports for a long time.
Nothing new. The democrats/liberals hate you if you don’t adore at their altar of convoluted ideologies. They hate you if you are a Christian, a conservative, a firearm owner. The democrats/liberals are the true Nazis who hate you and hate America.
Remember when “haters” was among the standard insults the left used against the right?
It’s been around for a while:
“Fun Fact: Jefferson and Adams hated each other after their political careers. But afterwards they reconciled and wrote a series of exchanges of how silly their hatred was. They both died on the fourth of July on the US’s 50th anniversary and quoted each other in their final words.”
