Chicago is Barack Obama's kind of town
The city has a unique history of launching the careers of powerful black politicians -- which is part of the reason Obama moved there.

  • More good news for Obama: Clinton advisor Sidney Blumenthal arrested.

    Speaking of that nasty Clinton machine and those run it, longtime Clinton advisor and former Salon editorialist Sidney Blumenthal has been arrested and charged with an aggravated DWI. He was doing 70 mph in a 30 mph zone and swerving all over the road. My, my, what a fine, upstanding citizen. You may recall that back in the early ninties, when a group of Arkansas state troopers began leveling charges that Bill Clinton had a long history of philandering, Blumenthal shot his venom back at them in an article he wrote for The New Yorker, accusing the troopers themselves of marital infidelity and drunken driving. Yes, drunken driving!

    Ahhh, poetic justice is so, so sweet.
