  83. So what you do, is you put a little gel in, but not too much. Then you tease it with a pick exactly 27 times. No more. No less, and pay attention now because this is important. You have to hold your head nearly upside down. I’d say at about a hundred and sixty five degree angle, when you blow dry it. That’s how you get it lookin’ this good.

  99. Last year at Halloween, in an attempt to frighten her husband Rod, Patti Blagojovich dressed up like Lisa Madigan. She forgot that Rod thinks everyone is his friend. So, instead of the intended girlie shriek she wanted, Patti ended up with f*****g gratitude instead.

    Comment by Pot calling kettle Monday, Jan 12, 09 @ 3:48 pm

  100. This is all Jesse Jrs. fault for starting all this hugging stuff during the convention. Probably every democrat in the state has one of these types of pictures of them with the governor thanks to him.
