Rich, with the Sox a lowly 4-9, you’re going to mock my Cubbies? I think not.

Congratulations to Rahm Emanuel for smiling big while sticking the knife in Mayor Daley’s back. Seriously, Rahm is the only person strong enough to succeed Daley. A weaker person would be eaten alive and the corruption would thrive. Rahm will clean it up.
