  • […] Proof that you can be scum without working in finance, follow the link to the Time article and the past coverage at Overlawyered. (Overlawyered) […]

  • Of all the things California regulates and sets prices for… and they allow a FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVENTY TWO dollar towing fee? Unbelievable.

  • For today’s liberal media, this is standard stuff. “Writer observes [insert anything that could be construed as sub-optimal], and thinks to blame income inequality.”

  • They’ve got us by the lugnuts, and they know it. No mercy.

  • Steve Goodman – Lincoln Park Pirates

    The streetlamps are on in Chicago tonight
    And lovers a-gazin’ at stars
    The stores are all closin’ and Daley is dozin’
    And the fat man is counting the cars

    And there’s more cars than places to put ’em, he says
    But I’ve got room for them all
    So ’round ’em up boys, ’cause I want some more toys
    In the lot by the grocery store

    To me, way, hey, tow them away
    The Lincoln Park Pirates are we
    From Wilmette to Gary, there’s nothin’ so hairy
    And we always collect our fee

    So it’s way, hey, tow ’em away
    We plunder the streets of your town
    Be it Edsel or Chevy, there’s no car too heavy
    And no one can make us shut down

    We break into cars when we gotta
    With hammer and pickaxe and saw
    And they said this garage had no license
    But little care I for the law

    Our drivers are friendly and courteous
    Their good manners you always will get
    ‘Cause they all are recent graduates
    Of the charm school in Joliet

    To me, way, hey, tow them away
    The Lincoln Park Pirates are we
    From Wilmette to Gary, there’s nothin’ so hairy
    And we always collect our fee

    So it’s way, hey, tow ’em away
    We plunder the streets of your town
    Be it Edsel or Chevy, there’s no car too heavy
    And no one can make us shut down

    And when all the cars are collected
    And all of their fenders are ruined
    Then I’ll tow all the boats in Belmont Harbor
    To the Lincoln Park Lagoon

    And when I’ve collected the ransom
    And sunk all the ones that won’t yield
    I’ll tow all the planes that are blocking the runways
    At Midway, O’Hare, and Meigs Field

    To me, way, hey, tow them away
    The Lincoln Park Pirates are we
    From Wilmette to Gary, there’s nothin’ so hairy
    And we always collect our fee

    So it’s way, hey, tow ’em away
    Now citizens, gather around
    And I think it’s enough, let’s call his bluff
    Let’s throw the bum out of town
