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