Chicago-O'Hare So I'm buying for Rupert?

So... what's up with the only available bar at O'Hare being the FOX/Skybox theme park?

Flying out on Tuesday, I had an enjoyable chat with a charming couple of folks from Rockford and Minneapolis who felt the same way.  The only screens on view were FOX News and FOX Sports a-go-go, and we wondered whether the channel could be changed... but had little time, and didn't want to bug the besieged and hard-working barkeeps.

While I wasn't there for Yearly Kos, I was wondering whether any others felt the same dismay at supporting the enemy via only wanting a cold Sam Adams.

So... any thoughts on a world airport being effectively occupied by FOX scum?  It gave me pause... especially after the awe and love for America that I felt in Chicago.  That feeling came from going weak before the mighty towers of capitalism... just next to the gorgeous green parks and public facilities given in return... such a short walk from the Hancock observatory to kids splashing in the fountains of Millenium Park, surrounded by art and beauty...

And saying, lo, this is a city built and maintained by Democrats, machine/corrupt or no, this is what it should be.

I just kinda hated the sneering spectre of Bill O'Reilly on the stool next to me. Know what I mean?
