i'll miss fake mayor rahm: @MayorEmanuel By The Numbers: Farewell To A Legend #p2

The final curtain seems to have fallen last night on the most entertaining piece of ongoing performance art in Chicago, as the MayorEmanuel twitter appears to have called it quits. Dancing to the sounds of Journey with his whole retinue (advisor David Axelrod, Carl the Intern, Axelrod's dog Hambone and Quaxelrod the duck), the prolific and profane twitter doppelganger was coaxed into a "time vortex" at the behest of Richard M. Daley, because when it comes to actual mayors of Chicago, it is like The Highlander: there can be only one. With one last f-bomb, MayorEmanuel was done for now

If you didn't follow the MayorEmanuel twitter, you missed a lot more than profanity (although you missed a metric ton of that). You missed a jocular, knowing fake-insider take on the mayoral election from an imaginative, genuinely funny, and resolutely anonymous writer who demonstrated a wide-ranging knowledge of and love for Chicago's many outsized characters and mythologies. Read from start to finish, it was Juvenalian satire which struck just the right absurdist tone to complement the election.
