Today was a good day I am almost back home and hope mac can transition easily to me returning.

Heh.
The headline on the Drudge Report late last week probably shocked most Americans who really don't know Chicago. [T]hose of us from Illinois have had 20 years to learn the truth. Our powerful big-city Democratic boss often blurts out stuff that makes him sound like a raving lunatic."
"Chicago Mayor Daley offers to shoot reporter to prove gun ban works."
No, not the Onion. This really happened this week in a press conference.
The actual quote is even nuttier:
At a news conference last week, Chicago Reader reporter Mick Dumke dared ask the mayor why Daley felt the city's handgun ban was effective, what with so many shootings and murders in Chicago. Daley picked up a rifle and said:
"If I put this up your butt, you'll find out how effective it is. Let me put a round up your, you know."
Whoa, Nellie!
When reporters on Friday reminded him that the rifle was equipped with a bayonet, and that it's not proper to stick bayonets into the cabooses of reporters, Daley said:
"Well, you stick it anyplace. It's a bayonet, so let's not make trivia about this."
Say what?
The article includes a chance to vote on the most cracked-out quotes from our illustrious mayor. [link]

Thanks for the wishes. Been 4 hours, and while not worse, not better. I'm not optimistic. I just wish it didn't hurt, but since he won't let me mess with his face, it does. Feh.

WTF? Why does he have a rifle with a BAYONET on it?? And how does shooting the reporter help prove a gun ban works??? (...it would...stop the mayor from buying a gun in the future??)

And how does shooting the reporter help prove a gun ban works?
It might reduce the number of reports who want to ask about the gun ban.

The sad thing is, I'm not sure that quote would even have taken it in the poll.
Get better, MK!
