It is so tempting to go with the crowd to be popular... to want to be "in", etc. The intellectuals tell us that we are kooks, nuts, extemists, paleos, etc. when as conservatives we want to protect traditional morality, values, and founding father constitutional tradition.

Having cut his finger tip while working in a restaurant, Emanuel felt that it was more important to go out after work and have a good time rather than seek medical care: his infected finger tip had to be amputated as a consequence of his carelessness (not a bright move for a doctor's son of all people). Explaining the missing digit to the political elites as the result of such a mishap was not glamourous enough, so tales circulated that tough guy Emanuel survived a shark attack or was wounded while serving in the Israeli Armed Forces. Don't mess with Emanuel! He's one bad dude!<br>Of course, he chose to cut a cash deal with Blagojevich, who was vacating his Congressional seat to run for Governor, and Emanuel reinvented himself as a Chicagoan, ran for Congress from the city district, facing Blago's former opponent, Kazak. Truth be told, Rahm Emanuel was a graduate of New Trier High School, but he lacked the courage to take on Mark Kirk in a competitive district that has Republican voters.DIPCnoreply@blogger.com
