It is to weep.

It is so hard to view that picture. Meigs was *SO* cool, and such a
great place to land, I just want to cry when I see what King Daley
hath wrought.

Mary and I haven't been back to Chicago since his terrorist attack on
Meigs, and we never will return, so long as he's in office. I figure
if Chicago is populated by people so stupid that they "re-elect"
someone like Daley, they certainly don't deserve any of our money.

It's a small protest, sure, but I figure it's over $10K by now, given
the conferences and weekend getaways we've skipped. Multiply that
times 400K pilots...

It looks like they've put a concert hall and added a beach area. The
boats still seem to be there and they've converted the FBO to
something as well (maybe an office for the boat mooring?) See

and click on the "Bird's Eye View."

There are a few boats there in the photo that Live.com has but you do
realize that that isn't a live image don't you. The original picture that
the tinyurl points to shows no boats at all.
