Daley, BusinessWeek's Michael Arndt was taken aback by the mayor's candid monologues against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the failure of public schools — Chicago's included — to adequately train kids today in technology, math, and science. Among the education fixes Daley said he's contemplating are a fifth year of high school and elite math and science academies for Chicago's brainiest students. Endless wars that divert hundreds of billions a year from schools and job training are also undermining America's competitiveness, Daley added, wondering where the public outrage is."

Daley's probably just making this statement to hide the public outrage over the Gerrymandering charges.
For those who haven't heard about this issue, renovations at O'Hare airport are necessitating the move of graves at a nearby cemetery. Apparently a couple of the tombstones might be crossing the dividing line between voting wards.
Add in the fact that companies are off-shoring or brining in H1B workers, why in anyone in their right mind do a science PhD?
Well, that's certainly quite a pickle you've described there!
