Researchers dressed in panda costumes check the body temperature of a panda cub during its physical examination at the Hetaoping Research and Conservation Centre for the Giant Panda in Wolong National Nature Reserve, Sichuan province, China. The four-month old cub is the first in the centre to be trained for reintroduction into the wild. Researchers performing physical examinations on the cub wear panda costumes to ensure that the cub’s environment is devoid of human influence

Madman sent me this from the Chicago Trib on poor Rahm and his Ways of the Holy Chopped Finger Cross, in his pursuit of long-held, noble hopes to achieve the old Daley seat….

Under questioning from election attorney Burt Odelson, Laurie Halpin testified Wednesday that she had been all through the basement and never saw the treasures Emanuel said were stored there — everything from his wife’s wedding dress to family china to the clothes his children wore leaving the hospital after their births.

But minutes after her testimony, Emanuel’s lawyers presented their own witness to explain the apparent contradiction.

Mee Kim-Chavez, of Chicago, an Emanuel family friend, said she helped Amy Rule, Emanuel’s wife, pack up about 30 boxes of family belongings into boxes that were placed into a basement crawlspace to which the Halpins didn’t have access.

“I believe my husband put a deadbolt lock on it,” Kim-Chavez said.

He begs to be mocked.
