Giannoulias Out



Shoot. There goes at least half of my winter Photoshop projects.

From the Sun-Times:
Alexi Giannoulias NOT running for Chicago mayor, his spokesman says.

Alexi Giannoulias is NOT running for Chicago mayor--despite some aldermen trying to woo the Illinois Democratic Senate nominee who lost to Republican Mark Kirk into the contest as part of their scheming to stop mayoral hopeful Rahm Emanuel.

Ginnoulias spokesman Kathleen Strand said in a statement issued on Friday: "To put all rumors to rest, before they get out of hand, Alexi is not running for Mayor. He didn't get into public service to just run for office. He believes in public service, and his plans are to faithfully serve out the remainder of his term as Treasurer and then pursue other opportunities. Alexi loves this City and will provide whatever assistance he can now or in the future to Mayor Daley, the City Council and the next Mayor."

Of course, come Hell or chin-high snowdrifts, I'll still have Rahmses

so I really shouldn't complain.

OMG, that freaking Rahmses shopjob is wonderful.

You need to do one of him wearing only that headdress and a gym towel.
