Question of the day

Posted in:

Illinois

* If you’ve been paying attention at all, you already know this story…

Chicago Mayor Emanuel doesn’t actually like Nickelback, despite a sign at the teachers strike that indicated otherwise.

When asked if the mayor is fond of the Canadian crooners, his spokeswoman Tarrah Cooper told RedEye in an e-mail “No.” […]

UPDATE:

The man with the sign, 10th grade math teacher Mike Konkoleski, has changed it to say “Creed.”

* The sign in question…

* The Question: What else doesn’t Rahm Emanuel like?

Have fun, but, as always, keep it clean.

OW - @ 1:31 pm: awesome, made me laugh, needed that.

Rahm does not like procrastination or inability to make a decision - ie: Pat Quinn.

Rahm does not like anyone who thinks they know more than him or is superior to him - those are not conceivable in his mind.

Rahm does not like to explain himself. He said it, it is gospel, don’t question it. Move on.

Rahm suffers fools - basically everybody but him.
