“What do ya mean, we’re supposed to go forward”
“Where’s the turn signals on this thing?”
“How come I’m the only one on board this contraption?
“Ok, team, once you all push to get us going, you have to all jump on board while I steer this sled to the finish line….
Team…
Team?????

The Illinois bobsled team ends their race to the gold in a death spiral.

Bob’s sled was built with good union labor. I’ll ride with them in Bob’s sled and with them pushing we will make sure Bob’s sled wins this race to the bottom? Right Bob? Little Bob? Jo Bob?

I’m not sure what’s going on here. Is Quinn intentionally pulling ahead of his bobsled team? Not sure what this cartoon is attempting to state.

Random Navy seals fail in their attempt to rescue an Angry Bird impersonator from an underwater mine tricked out in an Illinois state flag and some Dutch ladies’ shoes?

Quinn again has no support in moving Illinois forward.

Soccermom, I thought it was Blue Man Group falling from the sky as some guy cooked something on his Weber, which is tricked out with an IL flag.

I have to disqualify myself from this one. It’s like those graphics where you’re supposed to be able to see something if you stare long enough and I never can.
Everyone sees people falling. I see Illinois (and an older man who could be a lot of people) in a bob sled or snow mobile that has sunk to the bottom of a body of water and divers all around him who seem to be having fun rather than trying to save him.

I can see Soccermom’s 10:23, too. However, those aren’t our Seals. They haven’t arrived yet.

“They REALLY shoulda just put IL. on the front instead of that–like we’re sick and headin’ downhill with me at the wheel. I mean, ha ha, why would anyone ever think of somethin’ like THAT?! Oh well, at least our Guys are wearin’ my favorite color on their OUTfits! I wonder if they’re still wearin’ those special, ‘good LUCK” ties I gave all of ‘em, too, underNEATH those things, ‘cuz, well then THAT’ll give us a chance to win then at least–oh God, here we go– now just keep repeatin’ to yourself “And let the Will of the People be the Law of the Land,” and you’ll make it, Pat, you WILL survive this ride…HOLD ON–WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
