    Comment by LizPhairTax Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:32 am

  37. Wheaties sales plummets after placing a picture of a congressman on their boxes. Business analysts attribute the disastrous loss on the public’s animosity toward politicians.

  38. Eat your Wheaties and you can have as big a head as mine!

    Comment by Precinct Captain Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:45 am

  39. Very honored - VanillaMan -, but I thought I would be on the Milk Carton under the line, “Have you seen this Dope?”

    Great stuff, you are in rare air today.

    @FakeAaronSchock - the “schock” value has to be 10, but you get 2 tickets to the “Gun Show” with me on the front. #TheBeachIsThatWay

    Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 11:47 am

  40. A good way to jump start the House of Representatives… feed them a box of champions in the morning.

    Comment by Former Titan Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 1:30 pm

    Comment by VanillaMan Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:37 pm

  50. Word strikes me more as a “start the day with yogurt” kinda guy. Just a gut feeling. It’s something that’s gotta go bad before it gets good.

    Comment by A guy... Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:40 pm

  51. I meant to ask, does “RINO Puffs” have marshmallows?

    They have to have marshmallows. And a prize; a clipboard a pen in every box…

    Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:46 pm

  52. Guy, your gut is about as right sa usual. I don’t think I’ve ever had a yogurt in my life, except by accident when I thought it was ice cream.

    Coffee and smokes, bacon and eggs on Sundays.

    Comment by wordslinger Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 2:49 pm

  53. See Word, you went bad before you got good. LOL. Try some bananas, they’ll put some brakes in the renal system after all those eggs. :)

    Comment by Kirk Thursday, Jun 12, 14 @ 7:26 pm

  60. Would have been funnier if they had used the photo of him when they told him Dubya was coming to Peoria to campaign for him. I loved that deer-in-the-headlights look.
