Remember to keep your back

Remember to keep your back to the buildings, Carol

Richard Daley spends outrageous amounts of money on the removal of snow. Why? It provided one of the few cracks in the machine when Jane Byrne exploited poor snow removal and beat Michael Bilandic. Not getting any traction in the last Mayoral race in Chicago, Bobby Rush decided to give the snow removal issue a try. Unfortunately Bobby set-up his back to the street.

After his car was towed for parking in a snow route, Bobby had at least three passes by a snowplow behind him on the street. It was not a good day to be Bobby Rush. Needless to say, this tactic did not work for the good Congressman with Daley splitting the African-American vote with him.

What is the point of all of this? Carol Mosley Braun is considering a run for Mayor of Chicago. Remember Carol, keep your back away from the street.

Instapundit has his panties in a wad because he thinks some random shootings are by al Qaeda. My favorite comment is by his buddy:

I guess there’s one more thing that makes it worth speculating about a terrorist angle – the Post report you cite omits any, even fragmentary description of the killers. The Post has a tendency to do that when they’re afraid such descriptions will inspire what they think of as retrograde reactions.

Newspapers do that when they don’t know much either. Not reporting erroneous information is generally better. The relationship to whether this is terrorism and the race of the perps seems rather strange anyway given our history with Tim McVeigh.

&c, or the artist formerly known as Noam Schreiber, points out the situtation in New Jersey is highly unlikely to cause a flood of replacement candidates. Amen.

Some other points being made around the net include the Mitt Romney and Katherine Harris situations as well as Bigtime’s Texas residence.

For both sides the statements of gloom and doom over the replacement is very overplaced. Voters just don’t care that much. The people who do already had their minds made up.

The bottom line is the State of New Jersey has a reasonably competitive election.

And, ummmm…to be disenfranchised you have to not be allowed to vote—nothing indicates military voters won’t be allowed to vote.
