Question of the day

Posted in:

* How about a caption contest? This is Joe Walsh. No, not the freshman congressman. This is the Joe Walsh we all knew before last year’s election pushed that other Joe Walsh into our brains…

Do your very best to keep your answers Illinois-centric, please. Thanks.

    I was born here in the city with my back against the wall. Nothing grows and life ain’t very pretty, and no one’s there to catch you when you fall.

    Yours truly,

  31. =BTW did you hear Gags Brady is embracing the “Occupy” movement. That will really put in good graces with all the fat cat bankers when he puts the arm on them for 2012.=

    Really, CFS. Well maybe we can start a movement for those who are truly willing to “buck the current system” (i.e., have your “average” Jane and John Q. Public send them a couple of dollars from all across the country–and give them OUR support). And by taking out the “middle” man like the current political organizations and those they employ and to whom they otherwise “cater” out of the transaction, it might result in enough to actually get someone elected.

    We are the ones they left behind
