When Did Axelrod Get to Be Such a Fucking Snowflake?



David Axelrod, who cut his teeth on bare-knuckle Chicago politics.  And fuck you if you can't handle a mixed metaphor.

David Axelrod, who proudly oversaw the installation of his friend and confidante, Rahm "Fuck you!  I will fucking gut you!" Emmanuel, as president Barack Obama's first chief of staff.

David Axelrod, who now assiduously courts the good opinion of people like Mr. David Brooks --

Axelrod on Brooks: ‘true public thinker’ 

 -- and who pearl-clutches like the Woman from Tinley Park



David Axelrod, who is no longer a man of Chicago.


Behold, a Tip Jar!

No Disco Demolition?

Maybe Lindsay Graham will lend his smelling salts and fainting couch to poor delicate-eared Axelrod.

The Strong Shoulders (h/t Sandberg, getcha sum cuture), City off-work when the eagle flies on Friday is looking forward to the entertainment draw of staging Disco Demolition and Hip-Hop Competition in the Big Hole.

Which is almost dug in Des Plaines's Stage III.

Now it is discovered that climate chaos dumps more rain than Big Hole can hold.

Re-bill that hole in the ground as the Acoustic Amphitheater. Or as the World's Biggest Pothole.

Believe it or not when the original papers and construction designs permits and costing for Big Hole was a work in progress, a gleam in so many Daleydog eyes for its grift caliber, 50 years ago, I was given the math problem to solve for its dimensions (designs permits and costing) in Chicago's bedrock layers, on the midterm test in Geology class (where civil engineers hatch) at IIT. Whatever that is.
All because the professor was consultant inside the plans and secreted out the actual numbers (rock types and depths) to us labrat undergrads. And he loved the smell of smoking slide rules in the morning.

Just on a personal note from there I went to a job in Des Plaines for IT&T, (Telecommunications div'n, Harold Geneen presiding, and that year we installed the telephone system entire of the country of Cambodia While we're on the subject IITRI invented napalm, their claim to flame).

Driftglass, come back. You're safe. Capone's vault was empty. Maxwell St. is calling for its Terkel.

Personally I found "cut his teeth on bare-knuckle Chicago politics" to be brilliant. ;-)
