Carol Moseley Braun Wants You To Know Crack is Wack.

Apparently, Carol Moseley Braun planned to increase her second-place lead over Gery Chico by exhibiting some of her characteristic class and wit, accusing Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins of being on crack for the last two decades at a mayoral forum at Trinity United Church of Christ. The most explosive moment in the current Chicago Mayoral race... Read more »

Hot Damn! The First Mayoral Poll...

Somebody better figure out quick how to convince a number of minority-coalition candidates to back off their bid, otherwise Emanuel is going to run away with this thing.

Everybody Hates Rahm Emanuel (With Bonus Tom Dart Dance-Off?)

It’s not like we didn’t see this coming from a mile away once Gutierrez supporters didn’t get their man and a few key players were forced out of the race very early on, but it’s funnier now that the parties in question are coming together to form an evil little alliance they are actually calling...

Bill Brady OK With Teaching Creationism?

Look, I can’t say for sure that he wants to lose this election, but I’m pretty sure Bill Brady isn’t focused on winning at this point. If winning were his strategy, he wouldn’t have gone out of his way to vomit this up into the public discourse. GOP gubernatorial hopeful Bill Brady said Tuesday he... Read more »

This time, the AP is actually citing sources, so you know it’s closer to being true than it was on Tuesday. Two people close to Emanuel say that he’s will be resigning his post tomorrow and by Monday will be kissing up to Chicago voters, HQed probably out of someone’s basement.

Oprah to Cost Australians $2.8 Million

Yesterday, Oprah started again or something and she tried to one-up her giving-away-a-car television special by giving her entire audience a free trip to Australia that they’ll have to claim on their 2010 taxes. Plus they’re being flown there by John Travolta, who is apparently a commercial pilot or something but that was never made... Read more »
