So you pout to yourself and loved ones while anger festers deep and free.

Makes you wonder why politicians make promises in the first place.

And if you’re willing to make absurd promises, why not ever tout some aggressively fun stuff?

Like making Monday the official Dollar Dog Day of Chicago?

Any business that sells hot dogs must sell a $1 hot dog on Mondays to the public.

And that’s just a starting point.

Another thing: I’d hire more police officers to do police work where necessary.

Maybe not the most fun promise but a lot of people would like to see that happen.

Some other fun ideas:

  • De-regulate ice cream vendorship, especially push carts.

I don’t give a fuck.

This means nothing to outsiders and that’s on purpose.

Or something that makes it a little more exotic than just your traditional 1 on 1 fare.

  • More water taxis

And that’s just getting started.

Whether any of these resonate with voters is insignificant to the broader point of making positive campaign promises.
