^I suspect that was a smart ass comment about the way mathguy spelled Daley's name.

Bill Daily was the neighbor on the Bob Newhart show actually.

Or former residents whose families continue to live there.

I think he owns the Daily Grill, but then again, none of you have probably heard of that place without googling it .

People need to stop reading that conspiracy theorist John Kass. He's totally off his rocker. The "Machine" isn't what it used to be, and is sort of a decentralized mess of multiple smaller bosses (like Ed Burke, William Beavers, Joe Berrios, Bernard Stone, etc.). There is definitely corruption, and there are many powerful figures with intersecting fiefdoms who "scratch each other's backs" when it's mutually beneficial. But it's more the decentralized Al Qaeda model than the absolute monarchy it used to be. Maybe that's more dangerous?

More Rahm lies...

"The couple met in 1990 on a blind date in Chicago"

"when he returned from his trip, Emanuel had two tickets to a play in Pilsen and no date."

A play in Pilsen in 1990? Even a play in Pilsen in 2011 is somewhat

""He told her Clinton was a long shot and he'd likely be back in Chicago soon: "I said, 'Don't worry, no challenger has ever knocked off an incumbent president. I'll be back in November.'""

Erm, Reagan beat Carter. Duh.

I won't even address the Rahm butt kissing in this story.

Rahm Emanuel's wife has dodged the spotlight, will soon be Chicago's first lady - Chicago Breaking News (http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/news/local/ct-met-emanuel-wife-amy-rule-20110223,0,1234907.story?page=1&track=rss - broken link)

Do you know that for a fact?

Maybe that is the case with you, but I do not see how you can speak for the others.
