Wow, the Shaw fundraiser is really painful. None of the reporters said they complained to editors or news directors about the huge amount of time and space wasted on celebrity/mope news or indicated they would spend one second asking IL Corporate CEOs how much they doled out to RGA or Crossroads GPS in secret, unregulated, unreported campaign cash bout.
Finally Dane and Herguth are touting a redo of the ALd Burke police detail story tonight.
OK, one more time…imagine we’re using the principles of quantum physics to describe the current state of Illinois’ budget. This right here is a box. Inside the box is the budget and a cat. At any given time the cat and budget are both dead and alive until you open the box.
Rich, I’ll just assume this means I should go ahead and start writing your obit. Here’s what I have so far:
“Although she has not been able to determine exactly what killed Miller, Coroner Susan Boone said she has not seen these symptoms since Scott Lee Cohen won the nomination.”
People around here say “Mike,you’re too hard on the teacher unions. So I ask the new president of the IEA ‘how much is 2 plus 2?’ and this is what I get,”
“So the North-Going Zax and the South-Going Zax ran right into each other, and neither would budge…That’s how Dr. Seuss would have described the levy battle.”

The itsy-bitsy governor walked down past Cairo town,
Down came the rants and he turned himself around,
Out came the voters and gave him half their minds,
Then the itsy-bitsy governor zipped back to Chi-town.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Joanna Newsome lately, and I realize that I don’t have the heart for politics anymore. I’m moving to Telluride and I’m going to learn to play the harp.
