And yes, I know it's only January 1st but this will take some beating when it comes to pure, unadulterated humbuggery of the first order. Let me give you a clue:
On State Street, that great street, I just want to say
They do things they don't do on Broadway
They have the time, the time of their life
I saw a man, he danced with his wife
In Chicago, Chicago, my home town.
When the detestable Rahm Emanuel left the White House where he served as Obama's muppet-master and moved to Chicago to become its Consiglieri Mayor my emotions were somewhat mixed because whilst I was delighted that this nasty bit of work was out of Washington I couldn't help feeling a twinge of sympathy for Chicagoans - only a twinge, mind, because they keep voting these creeps into office.
Anyway, today, via those rascals at IHTM I learn that 'Hizzoner', who has maintained an almost hysterical anti-gun campaign to ensure that no citizen under his jurisdiction will be allowed the means to defend themselves in a city with one of the highest criminal shooting records in the States, has a different policy for himself and his family:
The rabidly anti-gun mayor of Chicago has a new warning for anyone who might dare step near his tony Ravenswood mansion: armed guards are present! The anti-gun mayor put signs up in front of his mansion warning of the guards after his son was attacked and robbed right outside the family home just before Christmas. So, for Rahm, like all these hypocrites, he’ll take the opportunity to surround himself with guns but would like to deny that same right to everyone else.

I think this photo of 'Hizz-dis-onor' sums up his attitudes to the suckers of Chicago:
'Let them eat gun barrels' might be his motto!
