  5. Rich, I think IllinoisChannel merely witnessed you brokering the bargain between the top Madigan guy and the top Rauner guy.

    Who needs the goo-goos, when you have Rich Miller in the bar with the salad fork?

  7. Well - and to be fair - Fire & Ale on Trivia Tuesday would be a great place to order some half-price apps, drink some $1 pints and hammer out a deal. Rich, you could make that happen! After all - who in their right mind doesn’t love half-price Irish Nachos, a couple of $1 drafts and light-hearted trivia?!
