The mayor this week refused to make public his stimulus wish list, unlike virtually every other city in America.

"Heh-heh," Daley said.

We've got a pretty good idea of what's on it any way.

- $500 million to create Daley Cone of Silence

- $125 million keep Meigs Field closed

- $53 million to replenish the Keep Aldermen Sedated Fund

- $863 million to complete transfer of city government to Chicago 2016

- $100 million in quarters to hand out to friends for new parking meters

- $15 million for stationery to expand enemies list

- $4 million to make Jody Weis go away

- $25 million to buy giant clocks for city workers

- $6 billion to complete Block 37

- $1 million in small, non-sequential bills
