Rahm Emanuel in an effort to lower city expenses has ordered that all city service vehicles begin switching from gasoline to ‘power of the people’.
In an effort to further explain this policy, Rahm has indicated that it will also benefit those most likely to be affected by his ‘fat tax’ not to be confused with the ‘luxury tax’.

I think I have found one cut I can make - no more expensive SUVs bought simply to feed the egos of cops. All that extra money to buy an SUV to drive on perfectly flat terrain and it is stuck in snow? Seems like a huge #&*%ing waste of money.
You can bet I will not doing any more of this once the election is over. Once I am Mayor, I will do like Gov. Chrisy when a blizzard hits-Go to Disney World.
Please ignore the fact that this is a 4×4 police vehicle that apparently got stuck in 2 inches of snow. Please notice only that Rahm appears to be coming to the rescue.
In the press conference that followed getting the police vehicle freed from the snow, Rahm would not confirm or deny whether or not “helping people” would fall under his luxary tax proposal.
Well it’s snowin’ Rahm is on my back
Wheels are spinnin’ Rahm is on my back
Cameras are shootin’ cuz Rahm is on my back
And he’s swearin’ that he won’t come back
What if he’ll win?
The dead will spin!
What have we done?
The Devil’ve won!
Yes, I’m packin’ up Rahm is on my back
City taxes up Rahm is on my back
Claims life is a luxury that should be taxed
U Hauls are escaping business won’t be back
They are packing up Monday Tuesday Wednesday

Using a parked police car as a barre, Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm demonstrates ballet moves to his campaign workers. “Use the car for balance. Start in first position, lift your leg like this, raise your arm over hand, straighten up, and then pirouette.”
“Stephen, did you get that? Was that a keeper? Did it look real? Man, filming in front of blue screen in LA sure beats being back in… in…. that place where I reside… um, have a domicile I always intended to…uh, @##%%, whatever, that’s over.”
“Now, in post, Stephen, maybe you put in a giant rolling snowball coming at me, like you did with the rock in Indiana Jones… Illinois Emanuel? We’ll save that for 2014.”
“And right before the snowball hits me, I get on my bike… good green message… and magically, I start to fly, and I fly in front of the moon like you did in that flying saucer movie….”
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day who helps me run for mayor
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in Chicago now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That pushed with us upon the Blizzard Day.
The shoes and ensemble are from the L. L. Bean catalogue. Is this shot satisfactory, David? Would adding more snow improve Rahm’s street credibility? Should Rahm have shaved after the photo?
