A Seat at the Table

Cuckoo makes a comeback

Maybe it was never gone. I can’t remember the last time I heard anyone refer to anything as “cuckoo.” Then there goes Mayor Daley dismissing allegations by Gov. Rod Blagojevich that CTA and city mismanagement had more to do with the CTA’s woes than the governor’s decision to allow seniors to ride free.

Not only did Daley say “cuckoo,” he said it in a way that would make that little bird in the Cocoa Puffs commercials proud. (Does that bird have a name?)

I don’t know whether the CTA stuff is cuckoo or not, but I think the governor’s decisions to close state parks and historic sites and rewrite the ethics bill are more than a bit off.

    To answer my own question, the bird’s name is Sonny.
