Something for you to read, part 10

Folks close to Barack Obama, our soon-to-be 44th president (!), recently announced that longtime Chicago power pol Rahm Emanuel would serve as his chief-of-staff.

Here is an excellent Rolling Stone piece on Emanuel, who is a ball-busting motherfucker. Obama allegedly wants him so he can focus his time as prez on being the good cop. There probably isn't anyone better suited in America at playing bad cop as "Rahmbo" so this should work out well.
