Mayor Richard Daley honored hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs for his charitable work at City Hall today by declaring it "Diddy Day."

Daley, who presented the performer with a set of cuff links featuring the city's seal, said Combs is someone who uses his fame to help others and is a great role model.

You have to love America.

Yea, but the pizza is good.

So are the hot dogs.

WTF!?!? Richard Daley is STILL the mayor of Chicago?!?! WTF!?! Wasn't he mayor when the Blues Brothers movie was released in 1980!?!?!?

Wow, Chicago must be a near Utopian society if all the politicians up there have to do is declare "diddy day" and ban foie gras.

I thought it was going to be because it's cold. 2 questions:

1. Where did you come from?

2. Where in Chicago are you?

Obviously you don't know the difference between Richard J. Daley and Richard M. Daley.

i used to live in SF and LA - i live downtown

and yeah the daley's had different middle names but basically same dude - this guy has promised cameras on every corner in like three years

although i don't think he was mayor during the blues bros - they just mentioned the Daley building in the movie

What's wrong with it being Diddy day if he is donating a ton to charity? Yea... he is somewhat of a joke, but he is donating for a good cause so I don't see anything wrong with this.

Father and Son

Political Dynasty

so you can be a total creep and if you give money to charity (ignore the tax savings) you can be lauded as a role model even if you roll with gangsters and get involved in shootouts - it's a farce and what's worse Daley is helping him promote his album which I'm guessing won't be the next Zeppelin 4

Whatver, Daley is a Sox fan!

Yeah, I'm from the burbs.

the elder daley wasn't mayor then, it was jane bryant quinn

I bought a set of rims Friday to commemorate. I hope I can celebrate in Indianapolis.

HAPPY DIDDY DAY, YO!

I RIDE SPINNAZ, I RIDE SPINNAZ!
