No Bet
Even the Mayor of St Louis doesn't want to engage in any sordid gambling enterprise with Rahm:
- St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay turned down the traditional friendly bet on the playoff series between the Cubs and Cardinals, according to Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office.
Emanuel proffered the usual assortment of Chicago beers, deep-dish pizza and Eli's cheesecake, plus tickets to Chicago tours and a donation to charity as the city's offering if the Cubs lose to their hated rivals from Missouri in the National League Division Series. But Emanuel spokeswoman Kelley Quinn said Slay declined to reciprocate.
Yeah, we wouldn't be caught dead gambling with Rahm either. He cheats.

What does St Louis have to offer? A six pack. Of beer?A three night stay in Furgeson?
You could say that he knew enough not to steal candy from a baby. Cubs win? Not likely. This is the time of year that they turn to disappointing their fans.
He basically told Emanuel that his employees work when they're at work, not play games, devising distractions and photo ops.
Don't know anything else about him, but he sure thumbed his nose at Emanuel and I like him for that.

Good for the Mayor of St Louis not partaking in these idiotic playoff bets. Make it a real bet Rhambo, $10,000 out of your pocket. Better yet make a package of JJ fish sampler and Harolds chicken, sloppy maxwell street pork chop sandwiches.
Why even bother? This is lllinois.
If St. Louis wins they'll just end up with an IOU.
Cubs in the playoffs?
Isn't that one of the warning signs for the Apocalypse?
SCC, check out from Sun-Times from Fri: Union balks at Mayor Emanuel's comment that cops are 'fetal'
“We have allowed our police department to get fetal and it is having a direct consequence,” Emanuel told U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. “They have pulled back from the ability to interdict . . . they don’t want to be a news story themselves, they don’t want their career ended early, and it’s having an impact.”
Assrham's comments to big-city police chiefs, the U.S. attorney general, the head of the FBI and other law-enforcement and elected officials on wed.
WTF... Didn't he want the cop fired for saying POS michael brown-stain got what he deserved??? Search for the story from Fri sun-times.
I wonder if you took a poll of both their taxpaying citizens, a fair bet would be:
The loser resigns as mayor and resigns from politics forever.
The winner gets to retire from politics and resigns as mayor.
There ya go the "ultimate" slap in the face and I like............
He didn't offer to have St Louis citizens shot in rampant gang violence? That's way more prominent than a dumb cheesecake.
Mayor Slay wrote his 10 point apology letter. I wonder what Rahm would apologize for!!!
That mayor of St. Louis is a funny guy. He Slays me.
He wouldn't agree to the bet because he'd have to shake his hand. And with his one nubby finger it feels creepy.
Don't blame the mayor from St. Louis at all.
Rahm is as untrustworthy as they come.
He's lied and cheated his whole political life.
You win the lottery, you don't get paid, yeah I'll bet someone from Illinois.
Cause they know Rahm is a lying sack of shit.
Prolly engaged in dialogue because of the news about his friend is going away for a minute with that Cps scandal.
Rahm probably tried sneaking the pension debt into the wager and was told to take a hike.
He should take that bet, Cards will sweep the cubs.
...and if Cardinals lose, they have to give Rahm 900 million dollars.
Dis!
No TV Op now
Warm tasteless beer. Greasy pizza. Moldy cheesecake. Mmmmmm. No wonder they don't want to bet. Who wants to win that junk?
Probably would charge them tax too....
Actually this Slay guy comes off as an even bigger jagoff than 9.5
Read the article. You get what you vote for and hope their tenure flies by fast before too much damage is done, Chicago is well aware of this and it sounds like St. Louis' mayor also has some ego "issues".
Cubs, out in three. Better get ready Chicago, those Cubs fans gonna riot and burn over the loss.
He's smart. He knows the State of Illinois is broke and is giving IOU's to Lottery Winners. He knows Chicago is a pathetic City that doesn't pay it's bills. Low credit rating. He doesn't need that BS.
Emmanuel has an integrity problem. You can only make a Gentlemen's bet with a Gentlemen.
Tiny dancer should be more concerned about the 2,300+ citizens of Chicago who were a victim of bullets this year.
The Feds should swoop in and arrest Tiny Dancer for something like, 'Conspiracy and Attempt To Commit and Engage In Interstate Gambling'. :-)
(There has to be some Fed Law that this would fall under, we have like 70,000 of them)
Rham is the new "Steve Bartman" sorry CUBS fans your Mayor just tainted the chances of your Cubbies pulling this one off, just ask former Chicago comptroller and former president of CPS both picks failed, and now even the mayor of St Louis, MO knows better!
If Cubs win, they take on our pension debt. If Cards win, they can have all the no bid contracts they want.........
"Slay declined to reciprocate..."
He could always ship Rahm a dead fish wrapped in a newspaper.
So much deeper than just coming right out and calling Rahm an "asshole" to his face. Classic.
The St. Louis Mayor knows that Rahm cheats and would probably welch the bet anyway! Smart Mayor!
That is hilarious!!
what a slap! love it!
Okay a quick question for our (br)ass. Why are there dozens of city snow plows with blades attached sitting on side streets around the perimeter of the Chicago marathon start/finish line and staging area?? Are the powers that be expecting a blizzard this weekend or something more sinister?? We of course as the first responders are kept totally in the dark! Wtf!

Well, we got through the end of the Mayan calendar stone, as well as the Super Blood Moon Total Eclipse -- not to mention that a bunch of asteroids have missed us -- but we'll have to keep a close eye on this one.
No, They will use these trucks to create a blockcade at intersections to prevent vehicles from crashing thru, a smart tactical move, they line these trucks up across Roosevelt Rd. at LSD to protect the command Post set up for all of the agencies. This is in the hopes that no crazy ass people can crash thru and run over folks at the finish line. start line.
Rahm Emanuel is a consistent supporter of "Chicago values", whatever that means.
Mayor Emanuel,
Please define "Chicago values" in this, the most politically corrupt and heavily taxed major city in the nation, you arrogant phony cocksucker.
will rahm get in trouble with the feds monday?
If you win, you can have garfield blvd from cottage grove to cicero. Enjoy.

Sounds like big, heavy, convenient mobile roadblocks, prevent some nut in a car crashing the event?
“We have allowed our police department to get fetal and it is having a direct consequence,” Emanuel told U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. “They have pulled back from the ability to interdict . . . they don’t want to be a news story themselves, they don’t want their career ended early, and it’s having an impact.”

"ALLOWED?"
You mean "FORCED."
Publicly whip the s__t out of someone at a CompStat meeting, and affect not to understand why they're curled up into a whimpering little ball.
And yeah, it's "having an impact." De-policing, along the lines of "community sensitivities" that people should be allowed to do whatever the f__k they want with no consequences.
The city you see is the city they want.
Now, if we could get someone who'd have the backs of a "feral" department, that'd be something.

To pursue and crush people wearing suicide vests?
At least 97 killed in twin bombings near train station in Turkey's capital

OT. Bernstein Class for CPD Detective Exam will be 2,000 for part I+II or separately part I for 900 and 1,500 for part II. Typical scare tactics from him and his crew. Test probably won't land until sep-oct 2016
Rahm told the St Louis mayor that's ok I'll get you TIF funds next year then he could buy Chicago some stuff and take all the credit!
We of course as the first responders are kept totally in the dark! Wtf!

You are either in the Academy or an idiot. No wait, you are an idiot either way.
OT - Video from shots fired on Halsted Street in Lincoln Park overnight.
http://www.cwbchicago.com/2015/10/video-shots-fired-today-near-lincoln.html?m=1
At the insistence of local aldercreatures, officers were having an outdoor roll call 3 blocks away as it unfolded. Guess what? Nobody saw nothing.
good luck cubs the city needs the some good news.
The plows are on standby to quickly swoop in and scoop up any runner hit by stray gun fire before the cameras get a shot.
Did Rahm repeatedly stab a table and scream: "DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!"
while his propeller-head staffers giggled and looked around nervously?
Is the mayor of St.Louis is going to be made to pay with his ass
for justifiably telling Rahm to go piss up a rope?
Hell... Rahm needs a steady diet of "No!" in his life
so this might be a step in a good direction.

Crowd control since there aren't enough non-"fetal"
Cops around, according to Rahm.
What the fuck does St. Louis have to offer?
Relics from Michael Brown?
A lock of his hair?
A vial of blood?
Perhaps a femur?
Fuck St. Louis and fuck the state of Missouri as long as that asshole Nixon is governor.
Go Cubs! (and I'm a Sox fan)
04:14 hrs. - Expect to hear Rahmulus babble about the blm/i can't breathe mantra for AG Lynch & her mob for the next few weeks as these people arrive for the IACP Conference (Int'l Chiefs assn). What will be even funnier is when CPD will show other agencies our "solutions" to current problems. Those seances are for members only. But the interesting part of the conference is open to all credentialed first responders & military - the Exhibits which open Oct 25 @ McCormick Place West.
Chicago values are : don't work, collect welfare, free health insurance, link card, wic, section 8 housing, free baby formula and diapers, it's everyone else's fault and vote democratic.
