Question of the day

Thursday, Apr 8, 2010 - Posted by Rich Miller

* I’m running a little slow today and waiting on some info, so let’s go to the question now and we’ll get back to the stories in a bit.

Some naughty little person has started a fake Speaker Madigan Twitter page. Here are a few recent posts…

# I could really go for an apple right now. But I won’t. It’s not apple time.

# Can’t anyone around here keep their eyes open for at least two minutes at a time?

# I win again.

# I win.

# I’m bored. Who wants to have a staring contest?

* The Question: Can you come up with more entries for Madigan’s fake Twitter page? Snark is, of course, heavily encouraged.

Have fun.
