  4. Arh. Don’t let the fog addle your brains. That’s just one of our whale boats, with a couple a good harpooners aboard.

    The great beast is near, I can smell it, but yet to be seen.

    Comment by AC Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 10:50 am

  12. - B4L -, I take no responsibility!

    “Caption?”

  15. “Yes. Yes. Like we all said to the each of the previous callers: ‘The Blackhawks looked great last night.’ Yes. Of course…. Go Hawks…. But, once again, this morning we’re discussing the long-term financial and budget problems facing Illinois. Okay? Today’s program is about the Illinois budget. All right? Is that clear? Now we’re all on the same page, right? Next up: Bill from Bellwood, you’re on the air with Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan… ”

    “Hey guys, great show. I’ve got a question for Speaker Madigan: What do you think turned things around for Crawford? I mean, a month ago he was sitting on the bench after those two terrible performances against Nashville…”

  18. “Orson Welles would’ve been proud hearing the Illinois version of ‘War of the Worlds’…”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 11:24 am

  19. “Although the Speaker agreed to be on the radio, Mr. Madigan doesn’t own a radio of his own.”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 11:29 am

  20. Well, Rauner has managed to do one thing I thought impossible: Force the Speaker to address the press. In one week he has held a press conference, answered press questions, and now doing a live interview. Is this some parallel universe we’re living in?

    Comment by Just Me Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 11:39 am

  21. MM: I wanted to speak with the guv, but I could not find Rauner in the capitol bldg. so I thought I’d give him a shout out from the airwaves.

    Comment by Mama Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 11:41 am

  22. ++ Is this some parallel universe we’re living in?++ Yes

    Comment by Mama Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 11:48 am

  26. I’m talking to a brick wall again

  27. Hey sport fans it’s the bottom of the ninth and who’s on first

    Comment by Anonymous Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 1:17 pm

  28. We’ll see how the show goes, assess things, contemplate everything…and then we’ll discuss “a hug”.

    Comment by À guy Sunday, May 31, 15 @ 1:32 pm

  29. Do Rick Pearson and his Tribune Pollsters, still stand behind their sample in the Sept 2014 poll showing Quinn up by 11%?
