  9. “What could possibly go wrong?”

    Everything?

  10. “Turnaround!?” exclaimed the governor’s assistant, “this prop of a van can barely go around corners!”

    Comment by AC Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 5:39 pm

  11. Sawing and shearing. Isn’t that what he’s been doing to the budget.
    Worry not. He’ll cut everyone else’s fingers not his own or those of any of his rich friends

  20. He’s paying them $30,000/month on a no bid contract, right?

    Comment by Pot calling kettle Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 6:51 pm

  21. Sounds like the barn in “Walk Hard” where John C. Reilly and the dude who plays Arlo Givens had the machete fight.

    In a tortured segue, my book on “Justified” ending: Ava lives,
    Raylan and Boyd never leave Harlan alive.

  24. I hear it will feature an interpretive dance featuring the 1983 hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart” with Rauner playing the part of Bonnie Tyler. The presentation will feature a remake of the video, which if you haven’t seen it you should, in which Rauner will seduce the working stiffs of the factory.

  28. I looked at the company’s website. He’d better not get too close to the blast furnace.

    Comment by Anon Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 9:14 pm

  29. In an unprecedented move, the Governor invited Government union bosses to join him for the demonstration. Spokesman Lance Trover says the trashcan van broke down and the Governor intened to be there when the mishap with the union bosses occurred.

  30. Governor,

  31. Maybe he’ll meet Forklift Driver Claus.

    Comment by Newsclown Friday, Mar 13, 15 @ 7:04 am

  32. Governor places order for 192 table saws-says its only coincidence there are 192 members in General Assembly.

    Schock flies in-shears sheep while bare chested-posts photo to Instagram and hires three lambs and puts them on payroll.

    Comment by Tommydanger Friday, Mar 13, 15 @ 7:31 am

  33. If a masked man with a machete showed up as a joke, it wouldn’t be taken seriously.
