So I hate to bug you with anything else knowing how much must be going on,
but the Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff rumor is circulating like
wildfire...folks know how explosive that would be in my part of the world,
no?  The FIRST thing we'll get asked is why he picked someone who has been
consistently hostile to immigrants, and we'll have to respond.
