I got a bad performance review at my part-time retail job. Apparently I don't show any initiative and lack a sense of urgency.

I care more about a bad performance review from a minimum wage retail job than the career I have that I actually enjoy and am good at. Go figure

got them all after the 20's

Valparaiso Indiana really? I don't think in 1910 it would be considered part of chicagoland perhaps not even today.

others I missed on

Braidwood
La Grange
Forest Park
Whiting
Harlem, wheres Harlem?

Harlem is modern day Forest Park, Illinois. Valparaiso is a result of the US Census Bureau defining metro areas by county; Braidwood is equally questionable (the far corner of Will County down towards Morris). In 1910 Aurora, Elgin, etc. weren't part of Chicagoland; they are in for consistency's sake.

Edit: Made Valparaiso a bonus. This means Portage, Indiana would be ineligible for the modern lists, but Portage isn't close to making them.

European Union received the Nobel Peace Prize. I anticipate the forum's bot posting an article about it in Current Events. Wait for the fireworks from our resident Europhile...

I hear next year the Nobel peace prize will simply be awarded to the concept of peace.

Buckeye Native 001 · #**4634** Posted **Oct 12, 2012, 10:31 PM**

That makes about as much sense as previous winners (Obama? EU? Seriously!?)

vid · #**4635** Posted **Oct 13, 2012, 12:34 AM**

The runner up to this year's Nobel peace prize was "food".

I guess the Arab Spring protesters who brought down decades-old dictatorial regimes were not deserving.

Remember, these are the same people who gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for running a campaign based on "hope" and "change."

They did that to "encourage" him. Like, to encourage him to attack the middle east with drones. So peaceful that way.
