Mayor Emanuel Gets In The St. Patrick's Day Spirit Way Too Early

So this happened Wednesday afternoon.

Mayor McManuel, everyone. Say what you want about Rahm Emanuel—and we have—you can't claim he doesn't love his job.

Now if can lead that Irish marching band and a pothole repair crew to DePaul University, where Fullerton Avenue looks like a war zone from the winter weather, we would call that a good start. Because this can come back to bite Emanuel in the ass if the Shannon Rovers are swallowed by a sinkhole during the South Side Irish Parade.
