When I saw that article about the stacked bodies in Chicago graveyard http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/poor-stacked-in-mass-843423.html
I knew they were found by exit polling.; 9:07 AM, February 23, 2011

Rahm's machine is more efficient than Al Franken's.
Hmmm...Rahm had to be allowed to run so that the the mayor would be elected by "the will of the people" and the Democrats in Wisconsin leave the state to thwart "the will of the people."
The "will of the people" must be followed if and only if it is in agreement with the will of the Democratic National Committee.; 11:38 AM, February 23, 2011

The total Chicago gun ban will be back, or at least, there will be no improvement over the "common sense" (sptooie) gun laws there. And the cops will be as arrogant and criminal as ever.; 1:20 PM, February 23, 2011
