Who Threw an Egg at Rahm Emanuel?

It’s not easy running for mayor of Chicago. It’s also not easy writing a post about someone throwing an egg at Rahm Emanuel without succumbing to the temptation to use a lame egg-related pun. Resist.
Today he was campaigning in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood. WMAQ-TV chronicles the close call:
The unidentified egg hurler missed the former White House Chief of Staff. Emanuel was leaving the event at the time and didn’t get hit with any yolky goodness, but a cameraman in the gaggle did get hit.
And there is more bad news:
It’s not a particularly good day for Emanuel, who this morning woke up to the news that the man who occupies his Northside home — and won’t move out until his lease is up – plans to run for mayor.

If the egg had hit’s mark, Rhambo would have just yolked it up.
Now.. a stinking dead fish would have been much better.
It would have zeroed in /locked on Rhambo like a sidewinder missile.

Posted on November 10, 2010 at 8:04pmNow the left will demand an immediate investigation and prosecution to those right-wing egg throwing chickens who also will be granted benefits status as they are so lousy at egg tossing since they are without hands to do so…hence their permanent disability. Also each one will receive benefits for their keeper the great Colonel Sanders, even though he has been dead for some time this will be no problem and they even will give past benefits due to the time delay it took for filing and such…
Sarcastic response throughout the above is quite deliberately intended.
God above help us indeed.

We shall those who defend those who send email photos of a women having sex with a horse and have children outside of marriage (Carlos Paladino) because they represent who we are. And if a Tea Party candidate believes scientists have grown mice with human brains, we shall declare her an intelligent person and an expert on the Constitution.

Posted on November 10, 2010 at 10:18pmCall me crazy, but I‘ve been connecting the dots and I’ve had the epiphany that this is The Event of Glenn’s prophesy! This is the seemingly minor event that the Left will seize upon as an excuse to declare martial law after beefing up security, provoking more dissent and ultimately forcing us to use our 14th Amendment rights to fight back, the same thing that happened when the Duke of Ellington was assassinated, precipitating WWI.
The so called “missile contrail” was a signal, seen throughout the world on the internet and TV, including all the Muslims, that the the dictator Obama intends to establish the so called “communist utopia” on the United States of America!
The bleak, dark time that Glenn has foretold is upon us. His Message has been received, and we know what to do. We know who the Evil ones are: Tides, Soros, all liberals. They’re in on this, and their only desire is to destroy Freedom, to destroy us and our children, and to urn this country into one where we are all slaves (except minorities and Muslims), the fruits of our labor handed over to the poor, Muslims, atheists and everyone who is, like, not like us, the Patriots.
God almighty help us through these dark times! And give as guidance as we battle the forces of Lucifer himself! Please God, tell us who and how to disparage, ridicule, hate and eliminate so that we may fulfill your glorious mission of having Heaven on Earth .
