And in case you missed it, here's all the "Variations on a Theme," we've done thus far:

Money Politics $$$ Clout City Mayor Emanuel: Money for CME, cuts for public libraries
Posted by Ben Joravsky on 01.06.12 at 05:00 PM
Not really sure what it is about Mayor Emanuel and public libraries, but the dude never looks so happy as when he's cutting their hours or firing their staff.
