Must not be any economic problems in Chicago.
The Reader's Ben Joravsky takes a hard, skeptical look at the city's Olympic bid and notes that, among other astonishing outlays, Chicago intends to spend $10.5 million to come up with a suitable Olympic mascot.
The history of such mascots is inglorious and comical, and if we can't come up with something better than Sam the Eagle (left, LA, 1984) or Izzy (right, Atlanta, 1996) for oh, say, $5,000 tops, then we are truly pathetic.
Folks, let's help out Mayor Daley. Come up with some concepts, themes and names for an appropriate mascot for the 2016 games.

The first comment is d*mn funny and truthful.
"Four animals that immediately comes to mind is the sloth, the weasel, the pig, and the rat. Any of those four would represent the Chicago spirit appropriately."
