That's my ding-a-ling-lang-dinga-linga-ling-long.
Just another crooked Chicago/Cook County/Illinois politician.
it appears to be a miniature, dead baby seal or some kind of round headed bird laying in the street.
it is, as it turns out, a discarded peice of rope, or maybe a karate belt.

the shattered remains of my dignity.
