A recent video released by Al-Qaida proves that Rich Miller of Capitol Fax fame is indeed alive and being held captive at a Double Tree somewhere along the Pakistan border.
- Pot calling kettle - Thursday, Dec 9, 10 @ 11:47 am:
When the Myth Busters team examined a recent photograph presented as proof of the existence of the Big Muddy Monster, they found that the “Monster” was actually a Springfield man who has a history of being mistaken for a hairy beast.
Political whiz Rich Miller clarified the state’s financial problem last week, saying, “So either the income tax must be raised or all of the prison residents will have to go without underwear. Governor Quinn has told us about his refrigerator use and some of his other personal practices but we hope he will not tell us about his underwear use. His advisors and some assistant attorneys general are said to be researching case law on whether non-provision of underwear for prisonsers constitutes cruel and/or unusual punishment.”
“In Illinois News today, the ‘Shroud of Capitol Fax’ was discovered today, adding fuel to the speculation that Rich Miller a real person, and is the “end all, be all” of Political Intellegence, and not just 3 pages of Fax received.
The Faithful have always believed, but this shroud used by Rich wrap himself up to sleep at the Capitol reinforces that belief. The Shroud stained with sweat, beer, and mustard makes the Rich Miller legacy real to all who got their Political Intellegence … via Fax.”
“I said a hip hop, hippie to the hippie, the hip hip a hop, and you don’t stop a rock it, to the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat…”
This is one of George Seurat’s last works, “Journaliste Entreprenant Parlant à un Déjeuner d’Affaires à l’Hôtel de Deux Arbres.” As you can see, the artist’s signature pointillism has developed to create an almost photographic image. However, some of Seurat’s earlier stylistic flourishes remain. Notice, for example, how the curve of the speaker’s hair is repeated in the beard and again in the logo on the podium…
“As you can see right here in this never-before seen 8mm film still of the incident, the Martini olive came from the back and to the left … back and to the left … back and too the left…”
“In reality … Douglas is a great speaker, and what Douglas said in Ottawa will make him a great senator for Illinois. But I will tell you, I have been around the Capital for a long time … that Lincoln, although he IS going to lose to Douglas …Lincoln is going places.”

Suddenly, in the middle of a speech on the demise of print media, Rich Miller is suddenly taken away with a Romulan transporter beam and taken to the basement floor of the Wrigley building.
Dr. Brown: “Great Scott! This photo is proof of what can happen when you disrupt the space-time continuum. After getting you home to 1985, you must destroy this infernal time machine!”
this is a simulation of Rich Miller looking in mirror after the last day of session party…he was heard mumbling to himself, “I shoudn’t have had those last few shots. I can’t feel a thing with my hands…how am I gonna type the blog tonight?”…
An undated photo of Kris Kringle, aka Santa Claus. It is believed to be from his early days of campaigning against the Burgermeister Meisterburger and his anti-child policies prior to gaining more weight and going gray.

Today Wikileaks released this photo which shows the mastermind believed to be running the Illinois government in such a way, that citizens, reporters, and politicians are forced to rely on the capitolfax.com to know what is going on in the state.
Mm-kay. Can we come to order please, people? Mm-kay. I wanted to review the ground rules for you new folks. First rule of Blog Club: Don’t talk about Blog Club.
My Illinois journey, Kankakee , Clifton, Chicago ,Springfield , then lead me to a remote cabin deep in the Shawnee Forest where my Manifesto was written. Then ……
After many grueling months of round-the-clock election coverage on minimal sleep, Rich Miller suffered a bout of narcolepsy in mid-speech. Some of the audience refused to wake him for fear of “risking permanent banishment without warning.” Others argued something, anything!, must be done at once to solve the problem. The audience devolved quickly into camps angrily pontificating their own point-of-view for hours on end, resulting in absolutely no concrete action whatsoever. The audience members even refused to return to their real jobs rather than concede their position in the argument. This went on all day and Mr. Miller’s beard grew longer while he slept. Then it was realized Miller was being paid by the hour, so someone known only as “anonymous” hid behind a chair and awoke Miller with a well-placed spitball to the forehead. Stunned into alertness, Miller exclaimed, “I am the Lizard King!”
The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently approached. When it came, Quinn bent down upon his knee; for in the very air through which this Spirit moved it seemed to scatter gloom and mystery.
It was shrouded in a deep thick beard, which concealed its head, its face, its form, and left nothing of it visible save one outstretched hand. But for this it would have been difficult to detach its figure from the night, and separate it from the darkness by which it was surrounded.
He felt that it was tall and stately when it came beside him, and that its mysterious presence filled him with a solemn dread. He knew no more, for the Spirit neither spoke nor moved.
“I am in the presence of the Ghost of Budgets Yet To Come?” said Quinn.
The Spirit answered not, but pointed downward with its hand.
“You are about to show me shadows of the bond ratings that have not happened, but will happen in the time before us,” Quinn pursued. “Is that so, Spirit?”
The upper portion of the garment was contracted for an instant in its folds, as if the Spirit had inclined its head. That was the only answer he received.
In a somewhat skewed attempt to motivate his impressionable Future Bloggers of America audience recently, Miller (pictured above) noted in his closing remarks, “So what I’m saying is, these hands are registered lethal weapons, baby. For politicians. And so can you. Bang! I’m out.”
“I speak to you through the dense fog that has settled over the Doubletree, much as Gov. Quinn speaks through the dense fog that has clouded his every judgment.”
I’ve been rubbing the balloons on my beard for three months now. There’s so much static electricity stored up that I appear fuzzy — and almost fade into the background.
One more week of beard rubbing and I will be invisible. Then I sneak into Madigan’s office and hear what he says to Mapes.
Even though the bleacher seats for “How Springfield Works With Rich Miller” cost him $450 Pat Quinn was happy to get this photo with his Kodak Instamatic, the hard part was finding someone who develops 110 film.
due to budget cutbacks, the local paper shot the event with a Kodak Disc camera.
