#4 Chicago's population has fallen to what it was in 1910. Illinois saw an increase of about a half a million people between 2000 and 2010 while the city of Chicago and Cook County lost 200,418.

What that means is that the political influence of Chicago within the state of Illinois is falling. It has slightly less influence on elections than it had at its peak population (and thereby political influence) in 1960 because it has a declining portion of the overall population of Illinois.

#5 Well, to be accurate, lowest since 1910. It was a little lower in 1910 but higher in 1920.

#8 Maybe they should pass a law making it illegal to kill someone with a gun.

#9 ...in Chicago that only applies to Republicans cause someone has got to pay taxes. Donks don't care if you're alive or dead, just as long as you vote Donk.

#10 You know where the architects of Fast and Furious came from? Chicago. When it comes to seeding and tending to the "Gardens of Death", their is non better than the regime.

#11 Of course - if you include all the dead, felons, and imaginary friends - Chicago has more influence on elections than ever before!

#13 "Detroit is worse" - true, but the US is withdrawing from there as fast as possible.
