may seem like a big step down, but just think about it. how cool would it be for him to have experts on to take down the republican lies du jour. and nothing destroys a thug like laughing at them.
he could be the next jon stewart. sorta.

there was a rumor around chicago recently that they plan to live in new york. i hope that means he is hoping to have some sort of media presence.
i also hope it is not true. there is plenty of media in chicago. oprah's studio is up for grabs.
