Question of the day
Wednesday, Jun 11, 2014 - Posted by Rich Miller * I’m having some serious Comcast internet problems today, so blogging could be spotty. I never did find an entertaining photo of the governor’s bill-signing ceremony yesterday at a Harley dealership, so we’ll go with the cupcake girl… 
* The Question: Caption?

PQ: That right there is Squeezy the Pension Python. As a small business owner, you will no longer have to worry about the tremendous pension bill payment looming over your shoulder when you are looking to hire full-time and part-time employees, or expand your business into neighboring St. Clair County. However, I do recommend you pay your part-time and full-time employees a liveable wage. That’s why I Pat Quinn, governor of Illinois, am pushing the legislation to increase the minimum wage to $10.10.

A continuation from yesterday….
Brook realized, if he always had a cupcake in his mouth he couldn’t talk and the less he talked the easier her job would be. Yeah, there would be some downsides, like weight gain and having to keep a bazzilion of the things around. But they had enough money to just pay the girl to make them all day long…
Also if she had some for the press at each stop, they would eat them, they love free food and wouldn’t be able to ask questions…
It was brilliant….
(That is why I suspected the picture she tweeted and one in his mouth)
