Chicago sets a grim new record!

Christmas weekend was grim in Chicago even by this year's wretched standards for gun violence: Police say at least 41 people were shot, 11 fatally, between Friday evening and Sunday night, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Lots of credit can be heaped onto the head of Mayor Rahm Israel Emanuel! A man who leans to the left and who follows political goals no matter what the cost in human lives. If you want to visit a war zone on American soil, please give Chicago a nod...
