In a surprise announcement Chicago Democrat strongman Mayor Richard M. Daley has today said that after 21 years as Chicago's mayor he will not run for another term.

WOW! Can we do the moo-slime thing and go to downtown Chicano Chicago to dance in the streets & pass out candy?

It’s no fun being mayor when you’ve run out of other people’s money.

Getting out before the bankruptcy. Let someone else deal with the consequences of his mistakes.

We have a winner!

Wrong "m" word. It should be this:

"Getting out before the bankruptcy. Let someone else deal with the consequences of his megalomania."

He’s getting out now because he’s finally proved he could be a bigger Dick than his dad.

Rahm has the stink of FUBO on him. Not going to help. He has no organization in the city and all those others that were afraid to run against Daley over the years, now feel their time has come. It is an open election and there is no way this slimeball will get many votes. All the power boys in the city can turn out the vote for themselves and friends, well before they would work for ballerina boy.

“A not-too-surprising name has just surfaced....Chicagoan Oprah Winfrey. Remember, she inexplicably is terminating her lucrative show....and she’s mentioned intersted in becoming involved in politics.”

I want Mike Ditka for da Mayor. He fits the role to a tee.
