If Hillary Clinton was able to claim NY residency prior to running for a US Senate seat, who really gives a fuck whether or not Emanual lives in that political cesspool commonly known as Chicago?

Emanuel and Chicago probably deserve each other.

I would say both NYC, and Washington DC are a lateral move at best. lol

"If you can't get fucked in DC, you CAN'T get fucked"

As to Atlanta, I spent about 15 years in Atlanta, and never really considered it home. It's not a bad city in which to get laid, it has an international airport with direct flights to virtually  EVERYWHERE, but aside from that, I don't find much to get excited about. It has professional sports teams from virtualy every sport, but it's not a sports town. It certainly is not a cultural mecca. It not really even a city in the sense of it having it's own unique flavor, even though it is much larger than, let's say New Orleans or even Tampa. It's more of a city along the LA model, lots of suburbs, but no real city to hold it together.

If you haven't gathered by now, I no longer live in Atlanta, but I do find myself there at least once or twice a month, I still own one house there, but it's not by choice. lol I built some spec houses there a few years back, during the boom. I feel lucky to only be stuck with one home that is not moving.

As far as the cat fish fritters go, although I have lived in the south for decades now, I still haven't developed a taste for either catfish or Nascar. lol You may or not already know (or care) I was born in San Francisco, and raised in the Bay Area by parents even more liberal than Pelosi. My mother is a proud Obama voter, but when pressed for her reasons why, it's pretty clear she voted for him simply because he's black and her liberal instincts would never allow her to vote against him. Yeah, even Chinese people are not immune to this type of behavior.

been doin' some gumshoe legwork, "palsie"------the whole buffet bit a scam---never met Marikod & my "assistants" have found out that he's a phony------never hobbied with any hard-boiled provider dames, so all 2nd hand "buffet" info on me a canneloni, err canard----err, simply put, he's fulla shit.

Now, Mein, as for you, gotta cover yer tracks better------any 3rd rate shamus can snoop out your aliases a mile away-------

Is Rahm Emanuel a resident of Chicago and eligible to run for mayor ?

Why not !!!

In this great country of ours someone can be born in Kenya and yet get his grandparents to place an annoucment in the Hawaii papers saying he was born in Hawaii  and convence the Hawaii Department of Health to even issue a birth certif9icate saying their grandson was born in Hawaii, all with 40 plus years advance planning to ensure that their grandson would become President of the US of A someday !!!

Compared to that what is a matter of 12 months residency within the city limits for Rahm Emanuel in  order to become Mayor of Chicago.  If we can be creative for US Presidents, Chicacgo, the center for legal and election creativity can certainly claim that Rahm Emanuel has been a legal resident of Chicacgo in "body and spirit" (the dead even vote in Chicacgo) for 12 plus months !!!

Husband/father/attorney tired of the political status quo

Now that we've welcomed Rahm back home let's slow down the Rahm for mayor bandwagon just a little bit. As Rahm had to move to Chicago to run for mayor, a hotly contested issue will be whether Rahm is a resident of Chicago. Rahm's residency is at issue as a mayoral candidate has to be a resident of the city of Chicago for one year as of February 2011, to be eligible to run. Rahm and his family lived in Chicago until moving to Washington D.C. as President Obama's Chief of Staff. Now, his wife and children live in Washington D.C. and will remain there until the school year is over. Upon resigning his post as Chief of Staff late last week, Rahm returned to Chicago.

Upon deciding he was going to run for mayor of Chicago, Rahm, was forced to rent a condominium in River West. Why? Because his four bedroom home on the northside is currently rented- and the lease was extended before Mayor Daley decided he was not going to seek reelection.

The law provides that any other mayoral candidate has to have been a resident of the city of Chicago for a year before the February 2011 election.  Therefore, whether Rahm lived in Chicago will be at issue. The factors Rahm has in his favor include owning a home, paying property taxes, and being a Chicago voter. Will these factors be enough to establish residency in Chicago? Prior to moving back to Chicago, Rahm consulted with Chicago's top election attorney Michael Casper. Presumptively, Mr. Casper's opinion is that the law will find  Rahm a resident. But what effect does the fact that Rahm did not have a bed in Chicago, until recently, have on his residency?  What effect does the fact that Rahm had to scurry to rent a home in Chicago have on his argument? If he was a resident of Chicago on September 5th, than why did he have to quickly find a place to live when he decided to move back?

About his residency, Rahm recently said: "I have spent my entire life, outside of going to college and working at the White House, here in the city of Chicago. The Board of Elections will decide this, that's the proper place. So, in the next five, six weeks, let's have a debate about these issues that the residents of Chicago care about, not my residency."

For the record, his biography is close but not quite accurate. Rahm was born and initially raised in Chicago, however, he attended junior and senior high school in Wilmette. After high school at New Trier, he spurned the Joffrey Ballet- where he earned a scholarship to dance ballet- for Sarah Lawrence College in the suburbs of New York City. After completing his undergraduate degree, Rahm returned to Evanston earning his master's degree from Northwestern University. While earning his degree, Rahm started his political career working for several local candidates, including working on Paul Simon's 1984 election to the U.S. Senate and then working as senior advisor and finance chair on Mayor Daley's successful bid for mayor in 1989.

But that was then and this is now. Will Rahm satisfy the Chicago residency requirement to run for mayor in 2011? Ultimately, that will be up to a judge's interpretation. It should be interesting to see which judge is assigned the case to decide. Stay tuned!

Whether you agree with his theories, or think he is delusional, its evident mein is more articulate than Chicago residents.
If writing style perception is not your forte, don't forget ter rules explicitly state, alias and real handle on the same thread, are cause for moderation..

which didn't feature Marlowe, but Sam Spade ( fictional name frowned on in these politically correct times         )

Painfully obvious that the post in question wasn't Xiao's, because "Israel" wasn't mentioned once------

My own experience with aliases is interesting--------if one is a regular of the boards & has half a brain ( I know, those are high standards ) they can be figured out quite easily. On the Vegas Board when I wished my ATF a happy birthday in May, I was attacked by an alias troll who went under the alias "Denny Crain" ( the moderator quickly pulled his thread )

The troll was so inept in "covering his tracks", that I instantly knew it was a perpetual unnamed nemesis of mine from here. The only clue I'll give about his identity is that we won't be dining at the same Vegas buffet soon.

As for Mein's "clues", they are so painfully obvious, even nitwits like Liorr Ben & Tranny boy could figure them out. Let's just say it's on the order of "who is buried in Grant's tomb"?

I was under the impression if someone flipped an alias, they could get in trouble; doesn't apply here because we're unmoderated ?

Ok, my job calls------got a tough nut to crack--------complicated case of insurance fraud that could involve murder----

as it's not me.

are you that much of a cynic?

Yes hes not in prison and therefore eligable to go to prison, so I think he qualifies for Mayor of Chicago.

That is the most original and colorful phrase and I've ever seen on this Board and is a compliment to both XIA and Mein.

      Mein, I think I've underestimated your pure writing skills. You have a lot of game in that area. Every now and then you really hit one out of the park.

I beg your pardon if I am mistaken, mein was using sarcasm with his maltese falcon message.
"Conducting to the watering place
A quadruped of equine race
Is simple; but he may not care
To practice imbibition there"
 

But what does that have to do with a pic depicting the wrong fictional character ?

Here's a limerick that may be over your head : "you can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead"

I'll resubmit my entry from April:

There once was a lady from Cancun
Who invited young Priapus to her room.
Where they bargained all night
And had quite a fight
Over who could do  what, for how much, and to whom.

Quad has been promising one but I think he has writer's block.

       First prize is a week's free vacation at the Priapus Pines Adult Campground, clothing optional for men

    Second prize is two weeks free vacation at Priapus Pines Adult Campground, clothing optional for men....

Pri."Here's a limerick that may be over your head"  "you can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead

 "led" I get it,though I worry about those that will now throw out all their pencils.

 You can fool some of the people most of the time, but "you" can't fool me.
I'm not easily led like those with lead in their head.

Granted, Elisha Cook was in both films, but the pic you showed was from "The Maltese Falcon". Elisha Cook only had one scene w/ Bogart
in the "Big Sleep", which took place in a darkened office.

The scene you showed took place in a hotel & was
from "The Maltese Falcon"

Checkmate, Shamus !-------

& instead, "man up" & see a provider for the 1st time ?

You have "issues",hmmmmmmmm ?------

were all recruited from the TS Board (not that there's anything wrong with it).

      Pri is a great champion of gender rights and the Priapus Pines has a strict gender discrimination policy.
