A Place for Political Commentary on local and national issues. The point of view is mine because today neither major political party has America’s best interest at heart. Politicians on both sides of the Isle are corrupt, but even worse, most of them are morally bankrupt. You're welcome to comment.... On the whole, I prefer not to be lectured on patriotism by those who keep offshore mail drops in order to avoid paying their taxes.

My Name Is Rahm and I’m on the Bleeping Ballot!
With the residency fight behind him, Rahm Emanuel is getting ready to storm Chicago's City Hall. With a tireless, meticulously organized campaign and more than $10 million in the bank, he’s ahead by more than 20 points in recent polls and may even surpass 50 percent on Election Day, Feb. 22, which would allow him to avoid an April 5 runoff. The only other plausible mayor in the race, Gery Chico, a former school-board president, can’t seem to get traction.
In retrospect, the residency mess helped humanize Rahm by showing that the macher (Yiddish for big shot) didn’t have everything wired.
