| Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is said by well-connected Democrats to be considering with the idea of running for president if Hillary Clinton opts out of the 2016 race. The 53-year-old Emanuel, who is busy raising money for his 2015 reelection campaign in the Windy City, has had discussions both over the phone and face to face in the past month with Democratic Party donors and fundraisers about a possible White House run, according to sources. It’s unclear who raised the subject—Emanuel or the donors—and the mayor’s press secretary didn’t offer any clarity on who said what to whom.

A competition between the ballerina and Hillary could be quite entertaining.

He would have the full benefit of the MSM in his corner while they simultaneously torpedo his opponent, stinky would start kicking the ball down the road for him well before campaign season, and most importantly he would have the huge benefit of a corrupt, rigged election process and a breathlessly ignorant electorate.
Plus, whomever the ´pubbies select as their candidate will likely be a dope.

Goooood Grief. Does Rahm want to bring to the rest of America the nightmare he cultivated so perfectly in Chicago? Are we all ready to watch the Alinskyan revolution kick into overdrive?
Obama and his cohorts have been trying to steer the ship of state onto the rocks at a speed and angle aimed at rendering her unable to be restored to seaworthiness. Putting Rahm or Hillary at the helm after that seems almost like stabbing someone continuously for 8 years, then dismembering ´im -- just to be sure the job is done.
Will the Left reach the bottom of the barrel of miscreants for office befor the Right´s wellspring of incompetents runs dry? It just seems to get worse and worse every election.

My first thought is that this would be a good thing!
Just think of the infighting that would take place between the Clintons and Rahm/Bambi---it would be a giant pass-the-popcorn time!
Also, his record as Chicago´s mayor has not yet been established. The sky high body counts Chicago is experiencing have been taking place for years before he became mayor.

He´s definitely running! Obama was a first term joke of a nobody senator when he ran and won coming from there. If Obama could win being a nobody, so can Rahm. He clearly has a trail already created for him. Also the money that´s behind Obama is more than likely already backing Rahm too, that´s why he´s running. Lastly, when he decided to run for mayor of Chicago, he did the same thing. He said if the job ever opened up, he´d be interested. Lo and behold, the former mayor decided not to run again, the job opened up and he won easily. He´s running, this just confirms it.

As far as I am concerned. Mark Sanford’s win over Curtis Bostic in South Carolina’s First Congressional District GOP runoff represents an unanswered prayer. Sanford continues to combine his mastery of therapeutic psychobabble with an ill-fitting Christian overlay that should be a dead giveaway, as Sanford himself all but acknowledged last night. Sanford is, of course, on a journey of discovery — make that a very long journey, involving the false modesty of the royal we: “It’s been a very long journey.

Ben Carson, the noted pediatric neurosurgeon, has become the target of a petition by Johns Hopkins students who want him removed as the medical school’s commencement speaker this spring. Dr. Carson became a media sensation in January when he questioned Obamacare and progressive taxation in a speech to the National Prayer Breakfast as President Obama sat just a few feet away from him. With his new prominence, Carson has apparently also riled some liberals, including these Johns Hopkins students.

Of all the arguments public-school advocates have used to hoodwink generations of parents into condemning their own children to years of state-controlled subservience training, one of the most successful is that without public schools, children cannot be properly "socialized," and will therefore be ill-prepared for life in the "real world." [Snip] The basic premise of the argument for public schools as necessary tools of socialization is that learning to get along, or fit in, with children one´s own age is a vital life skill. Is it?

The missing canines range widely in size, breed and age. "The dogs seem to vanish into thin air," said Debbie Blackwood, director of the animal shelter in Twin Falls, Idaho. Officials say some 30 dogs have gone missing in recent months in Twin Falls and nearby communities in an agricultural region in south-central Idaho known as the Magic Valley.

Yet the Republican Establishment managed to lose to the worst and most vulnerable President in modern history, with historically poor approval ratings, unemployment averaging over 8.7% during his entire first term, a stagnant economy and someone who ran the smallest and most absurd of all possible re-election campaigns.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”
