Perhaps our bloggers spoke too soon when we posted the lighthearted look at what's banned in Chicago.  Seems some things - or at least some people - are excluded from the city's trend.

From today's Chicago Tribune:  Contract swindler James Duff is banned from Chicago business for only 3 years  Imprisoned businessman with Daley ties will be eligible to bid for city work before his prison term is up

Remember, Chicago's Windy City nickname didn't originate from the lakefront breezes.  It was a reference to Chicago politicians "blowing a lot of wind."
