  11. - 47th Ward - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:06 am:

    The hardest working microphone stand in Illinois.


  12. - roscoe tom - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:06 am:

    Once the dust settles, Judy Barr Topinka and I will be doing duets.

  19. - Trader Vic - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:19 am:

    After winning my third Grammy I gave up music so that I could fix Illinois. I have been so successful at bringing great jobs to Illinois, in fact the earth’s first interplanetary transfer station will be setup right here in Coles County, that I am now running statewide. As Treasurer I will continue to honor myself for my many great achievements. #talltales


  20. - GollyGeeI'mTall - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:21 am:

    I’m Tall, I’m Tall, I’m Tall. By the way did I tell you? I’m Tall.

    So much for drumming up support.

    “Before the Band comes out, I was asked to warm up the crowd with …some jokes.

    I told them back there I have no jokes. They just told me to talk about myself and stand here…”


  24. - Jake From Elwood - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:43 am:

    “Drumming up very little
    support in Republican Coles County”


  25. - teddy salad - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:46 am:

    I’m an 11


  26. - Ghost - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:48 am:

    You all look like ants from up here…ANTS!

    The wether up here you ask? Why its fair, like our prices on new drum sets…..


  27. - Team Sleep - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:49 am:

    “Holy crap! There are actually Democrats in Coles County?! Guess this invitation wasn’t a joke.”


  28. - John A Logan - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:49 am:

    Ain’t no party like a Democratic Party, cause a democratic party don’t stop. So when you see a young candidate in a Chevy hitting switches, then you gotta give that democrat props.

    I got size in my rise and the motion for your ocean. Mike Frerichs got the potion to kick the party open. Slide, slide, but that’s the past
    I got sumpin’ brand new for that ass. (as in donkey)


  29. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:51 am:

    “Hello St. Clair County!”


  30. - ChrisB - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:53 am:

    Thanks…I like to play.


  31. - Rufus Easton - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:54 am:

    I would like to thank the 3 of you for coming out today to see me. I am Robert Wadlow, you have probably seen my statue in Alton, Illinois. I am much more handsome in person, wouldn’t you agree? (prolonged silence) me too.


  32. - Ghost - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:55 am:

    Weather*


  33. - Judgment Day - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 10:57 am:

    “…and the band played on….. elsewhere”.


  34. - Mittuns - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 11:02 am:

    Everything before my drum solo was a blur.


  35. - Mittuns - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 11:05 am:

    For your entertainment, I will jam out on this toddler size set of drums.


  36. - Attilio - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 11:06 am:

    “Nice to be here….at my height, it’s nice to beANYwhere….”
    ( rimshot)
    “But anyway, I’ll soon be joined up here by the President of the Coles County Gay Little People Democratic Club, and I’m told his mic has been set up next to me podium…..”


  37. - The End Is Near - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 11:08 am:

    “In 2013, Coles County alone lost 134 drummer jobs to soulless drum machines from Terre Haute, Indiana. Good afternoon, I’m Mike Frerichs.”


  38. - Rich Miller - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 11:10 am:

    The End Is Near takes a commanding lead!

  43. - zatoichi - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 12:01 pm:

    My second cousin, Keith Moon, gave me these tubs as a child. Can we start the bidding at $125?


  44. - Anonymous - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 12:08 pm:

    ok let`s start this auction, what`s your bid on these drums?


  45. - Anonymous - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 12:22 pm:

    france`s the talking mule will be drumming up a party later..


  46. - Irish - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 12:28 pm:

    (Rimshot)


  52. - gabe - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 1:20 pm:

    Clint Eastwood is playing the drums.


  53. - Keyser Soze - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 1:35 pm:

    A taller podium please.

    Followed by a rim shot.


  54. - Irish - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 2:28 pm:

    Sen. Mike Frerichs follows Speaker Madigan at the lectern.


  55. - Robo - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:02 pm:

    Why yes, I do carry it on my back, but only outside. After the primary I’ll have the campaign logo painted on the bass drum.


  56. - Dupage Moderate - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:04 pm:

    And now my family member who is not on the University of Illinois payroll will play the drums.


  57. - Rusty618 - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:11 pm:

  59. - How Ironic - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:16 pm:

    Yes, I would agree that more cowbell is in order. However for today’s gig I’ll be concentrating on drums.


  60. - Money bags - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:17 pm:

    Meanwhile as we wait for Gene Krupa to arrive let me tell you about an old Mandarin Chinese proverb


  61. - Anonymous - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:22 pm:

    is this thing pluged in?who kicked the cord?


  62. - 47th Ward - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:35 pm:

    No one could explain why the Frerichs campaign was having trouble connecting with voters. As one focus group participant told a pollster, “he’s always talking down to people.”


  63. - the unknown poster - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:39 pm:

    I am the Napoleon Dynamite of Illinois politics.


  64. - Yipperdo - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 3:45 pm:

    And this November I am going to beat my message into you so hard that you will think I am playing the drums.


  65. - Anonymous - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 4:51 pm:

    im debating these drums.


  66. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 5:20 pm:

    “Brennen, did you touch my Drum Set. I know you touched my Drum Set, there was a chip in the Drum Stick…”


  67. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Mar 17, 14 @ 5:38 pm:

    “Prestige Worldwide… Investors? Maybe you!”


  68. - Siriusly - Tuesday, Mar 18, 14 @ 4:35 am:

    Thank you for having me, there are some tamales in the back.


  69. - LBJ - Tuesday, Mar 18, 14 @ 8:10 am:

    Therefore, my fellow citizens of the great land of Lincoln, let me close by quoting a great american poet who said

    “let me be who I am
    And let me kick out the jams.”

    God bless.


  70. - Sandi - Wednesday, Mar 19, 14 @ 3:08 am:

    “I am hearing people say we need to drum the Ultra-Conservatives out of this state! I am hear to fo the job!”
