Filmmaker Dominic Boudreault made this awesome movie called "The City Limits" where he filmed time-lapse footage of Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Montreal and then edited it all together. Unless you know the various cities' landmarks, you can hardly tell them apart. Is it urbanist to say all cities look the same? You can't even tell which ones are in Canada and which are in the good old U.S. of A. Still, New York looks the best, right? Right?!

It appears that Chicago Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel has found his top political adviser, a red man-sized furry bull whose "fixer" talents have largely been wasted in his previous role as a mascot for the Chicago Bulls basketball team. It really wouldn't be surprising to see Rahm Emanuel leave his wife for this natural soul mate. [30FPS via Wonkette]

Garry McCarthy is co-star of the acclaimed Sundance reality series Brick City. In his spare time, he's the police chief of Newark, New Jersey. He's also kind of a dick. Now he's in the running to be Chicago's police chief.

Just a week after we learned of a baby who got drunk at Applebee's and a toddler who got soused at Olive Garden comes the story of Brooklyn Davis, a four year-old who got hammered at a Chili's outside of Chicago. Three is a trend!

Sneaky CBS Radio News reporter Mark Knoller listened in to a private chat between the president and elite donors following a Chicago fundraiser last night. The president had no idea that this reporter could still hear the feed! Naughty Mark Knoller. Anyway, what's the dirt?

First Lady Michelle Obama, who has the nerve and audacity and dare I say uppitiness to want our children to eat better and live healthier, ought to be knocked down to her proper place upon hearing this: Illinois's 1st Congressional District, which includes Obama's South Side Chicago home turf, ranks 430th out of 436th in a new national health and well-being survey, and dead last in the "healthy behavior category." Boom.

The man behind the brilliant @MayorEmanuel Twitter account, which "followed" Chicago Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel on the campaign trail by making up jokes about him and ultimately "vanished into a time vortex in order to save the multiverse," has been outed.

Chicago's grueling race for mayor is over; results have been called, and the winner is... Richard Daley's secret brother Cosmo! Kidding. Kidding! The winner, as has been predicted forever, is foul-mouthed former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Chicago's likely new mayor, former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, is well aware of his Twitter impersonator, MayorEmanuel, and wants to know the motherfucker's real identity. And he'll pay to find out.

Hundreds of commuters were trapped in Chicago overnight Tuesday due to the snow. Passengers aboard one bus ended up panicking and tried to escape on foot, only to be beaten back by the storm. They probably had this maniacal driver.

Thundersnow is the term used to describe the simultaneous presence of thunder and snow (duh). Here, Weather Channel personality Jim Cantore, reporting from the streets in Chicago last night, gets startled by some thundersnow. His reaction is appropriately crazy.

After an appellate court kicked ex-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel off the Chicago mayoral ballot for flunking residency requirements, the Illinois Supreme Court tentatively ruled he was actually OK to run. Now it's official: Print up those ballots!

Evanston, Illinois, the home of Northwestern University, plans to start enforcing a "brothel law" that prevents more than three unrelated people from sharing a house or apartment. Why would they bother? To cut down on college parties, of course.

Good news for would-be Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel: Illinois' Supreme Court hasn't decided on reinstating his candidacy, but it has "ordered Chicago election officials not to print any ballots without his name." He can keep them as souvenirs, maybe?

Rahm Emanuel is doing his best to keep his name on the ballot in the Chicago Mayoral elections.

An appellate court has kicked ex-White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel off the ballot for Chicago mayor over residency requirements. Wow. He'd been leading in polls and fundraising, and his case will likely hit the Illinois Supreme Court now.

SNL's Andy Samberg, who impersonated Rahm Emanuel when he was White House chief of staff, will headline a fundraiser for Emanuel's Chicago mayoral campaign.

Police were called to Mullets Sports Bar outside of Chicago after a man pulled a framed photo of Saved by the Bell character A.C. Slater from the wall and smashed it on the ground. What was his rationale?

A Chicago woman called 911 and told the police her boyfriend was attacking her in an attempt "to scare him and have the police force him to marry her." Surprisingly, it didn't work, and now she's facing criminal charges.
