Notice my neatly manicured nails? In a few weeks, my proposed Chicago luxury tax will apply and I will be doing my part to balance the city budget with every manicure and facial that I receive. That’s called self sacrifice!
“You can take da picture, but I swear if this @#$%&* picture becomes a contest for dat Rich Miller … I will hunt you down and gut you like a fish … now take your picture”
“Steve, we’re joined now by Ron McDaniel, a good-looking Jewish kid from Washington, D.C. Tell me Rod, how long did you work for President Reagan and what brings you to St. Louis?”
Now with early voting and a submissive majority on the state supreme court, long time Chicago residents like Harry Caray, who always intended to return to his Chicago residence, can continue voting and voting in perpetuity. Moreover, Harry endorsed my campaign with his vote.
@$^*#%, so what if he died in Arizona! Harry’s buried in Des Plaines #$^+&*! Alright, it’s not in Chicago, but it’s close enough. His restaurant is here! Enough with the #$*^&@% residency #^$@%!
Standing here made me realize that putting an additional luxury tax on Cubs tickets and beer sales is absolutely the way to go. Their fat cat fans can afford it.
“This @#$%*& Photo Scavenger Hunt is a pain in the #$%.
OK, 5 points for a “Picture with a ‘Harry Carey’ statute that is not at Wrigley’. Now we need the picture with a fireman and a fire dog, a picture of me standing in Buckingham Fountain, and the 25 point pictures of serving food at Manny’s Deli and at the Billy Goat …”
Harry - So I hear you play hardball. Ever make it to the Bigs?
Rahm - Was I in the Bigs? Man you can’t get any $#@%^&*@ bigger. But then this job came up and I came back.
Harry - You too? I used to make %$#@ out of those boys in blue. But then I had to tell Augie to take a jump, and I came here. Best decision I ever made. Nothing like hardball in Chicago!
After taking this picture, Rahm tilted the head back to expose the red button leading to the hidden “Rahm-Poles” in Stately Emanuel Manor, sending him to the “Rahm-Cave” and taking a call on the “Rahm-Phone” from Commissioner Gordon and Chief O’Hara ….
