WASHINGTON DC, October 6 (Eliana News) – President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel resigned from his job at the White House last week after a controversial 20 months at his post.

Eliana News has an exclusive report on Rahm Emanuel’s exit interview:

Barry: Hello, Rahm.

Rahm: Your Majesty…

Barry: You really don’t need to address me like that anymore.

Rahm: It could still happen – you never know.

[Both men sigh wistfully.]

Barry: Ok Rahm, please explain why you’re leaving your job at the White House.

Rahm: The rumblings about tar and featherings.

Barry: Come on Rahm, you know the Israelis weren’t serious about that.

Rahm: I meant from the U.S. House of Representatives.

Barry: Oh. A few too many towel snaps in the Congressional gym, eh?

Rahm: &%^$#@*%.

Barry: …AND way too many swearwords.

Rahm: &%^$#@*%.

[Barry takes notes]

Barry: I got that one.

Rahm: I don’t see why they cared about my swearing. #(*@&^$.

Barry: Well, things got bitter when the House Majority Leader had to put his parrot down after having you over for dinner.

Rahm: He was a nice parrot. So smart, too. Live and learn. #@*$^%#.

Barry: Yeah, he learned that word in particular and couldn’t stop saying it.

[Both men sigh again.]

Barry: Ok, Rahm. What would you say was the most valuable skill you used in your job here?

Rahm: Stirring up @*$^.

Barry: You did do that well. Anything else?

Rahm: Stirring up more @*$^.

Barry: Ok. I think this covers a lot of ground. Any parting words?

Rahm: I think the ^@%@*$ and the %#(@&%% should go $*@& themselves.

Barry: Ok, I think this wraps things up. Good luck in Chicago!

…and nine months later BowtieBoy had a baby, but he never found out who the child’s mother was.

The title of this thread comes from a cornball song by Red Ingle & The Natural Seven, featuring “The Main St. Choral Society.” A Spike Jones alumnus, Red Ingle’s greatest hit “Tim-Tayshun” featured the vocals of Cinderella G. Stump (Jo Stafford).

Cigareetes & Whusky made it to Number 4 on the charts in March of 1948, and was covered by a number of artists, including Sons of the Pioneers, Jim Croce, and The Muppets. We’re pleased to present this great piece of musical history on The Overnight Open Thread.

Hefty Bathing with solar heated water is the latest trend in the hood, especially when the water’s been turned off for non-payment and you gotta drag a hose from the neighbor’s crib bibb. For a bubble bath, provide your own effervescence…  and you can think that one through for yourselves. Meanwhile, there’s this:

After reviewing some *cough* previous threads, this was one of the few comments that made me smile, and I thought it was only fitting to post it on an Overnight Open Thread.
