I don’t think I’ve ever interacted with you. Doesn’t mean I wasn’t appreciative of the time and efforts you put day in day out into this difficult _pro bono_ job. Many thanks. ---

Slowly but surely the Nazi regime is being dismantled. First Euty (Jack of Diamonds) now Manny (King of Hearts). Who is next on the the SD Most Wanted deck of cards? The hunt won’t stop until we find the ever elusive Cecil and his WMD!! Muuuuuhaaaaaa!!! Good luck Manhattan. ---

I know what’s going on here. I see it all the time in city government. You’re “retiring” so you can collect your pension, then the Reader’s going to re-hire you at a lower pay-rate than before. You double-dipping bastard! Happy ---

**Manhattan** has been the voice of the GQ since I first started lurking here in 1999. His successors would do well to emulate his style and maintain the tone he set for this forum. The “Politics in GQ” sticky at the top of the page should stay there for as long as the board is operating. Thank you, **Manny** for your years of service. Best of luck to you. And slip some 'dem billions my way… ---

**Manny** , I assume this will free up a great dael of your time allowing you to attend more gatherings in Chicago (so I can meet more legends of the SDMB). 🆒 ---
