Rahm: I've Got Seven Million Dollars, Don't You Mess With Me
Rebecca Sive | 6:01 PM | Blog Post
Dear Readers,
The latest news coming from Rahm Emanuel's campaign for mayor of Chicago gave me a chance to write this piece for The Huffington Post, featuring one of my favorite and most inspirational people, the great Mississippi/Chicago blues singer, Muddy Waters.
It was Muddy's song, "Hoochie Coochie Man," in which Muddy sang: "I've got seven hundred dollars, don't you mess with me," that inspired me to write the piece.
I hope you'll check the piece out here, (the top-featured post in today's Chicago HP edition). And I hope you'll share it, post it, and twitter it, besides. For one thing, the musical clip of Muddy will start your day out just right.
Sincerely,
Rebecca

Big Girls Don't Cry, the (non-New Jersey/yes-Chicago) Version
Rebecca Sive | 3:06 PM | Blog Post
Dear Readers,
Big Girls Don't Cry, this version featuring Toni Preckwinkle, newly-elected President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, (Cook County's government is larger than that of 29 states), and Lisa Madigan, newly re-elected Attorney General of Illinois, and maybe candidate for Chicago Mayor, may be found here.
On this day after an historic and, in some ways, troubling election, I'm looking on the bright side.
I hope you'll find this post inspirational to the girls and women in your life.
Best wishes.
Rebecca
