Memo to Sara:
The last time the Chicago Cubs won, the nation had a Republican President and Congress, Illinois had a Republican Governor and General Assembly, Cook County had a Republican County Board President and Chicago had a Republican Mayor. At the same time, Detroit had a promising future and the Cubs were based on the West Side.
If you want history to repeat…
When hell freezes over!

Did Governor Deneen issue the proclamation praising the Cubs from the elegant Executive Mansion in Springfield or from his exclusive private Chicago residence in the prosperous Englewood neighborhood?

Rep. Feigenholtz,
I wish you the best with the Caucus. As a Cubs fan, my hope is that the Caucus has plenty to root for and will be rooting through the month of October.
As the arrow points North for the North Side ball club, remind those jumping on later, there is always room on the bandwagon.
