    I don’t know a word low enough to describe jedarrogante, who is selling 2 2012 Chicago Marathon finisher medals on eBay. Meanwhile 1,300 runners finishing the race of their lives did without at the finish line. No wonder these medals are in mint condition — because no one sweated over them and dried their tears on the ribbons at the end. They weren’t worn to bars and restaurants throughout the city. They weren’t shoved into carryon pockets and shown off to loved ones. Dear Jed Arrogante: Why, Jed Arrogante, why did you steal and lie? Even if you finished the race (the site is down, I can’t tell), why did you think you deserved two medals for doing that? Were you just pocketing these to make a profit? Do you, Jed Arrogante, have this same kind of integrity in your daily life? if that’s true, I sure feel sorry for you, Jed Arrogante.
