    PQ thinking:
    This poor sucker…he has no idea that he is about to make Cap Fax’s Caption contest. I love keeping Miller entertained!


  2. - MrJM - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 10:54 am:

    “How did you know I needed another cover-up… I mean ‘throw cover’!

    – MrJM


  3. - bman - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 10:56 am:

    This is the wool I will pull over your eyes.


  4. - Reality Check - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:00 am:

    You distract him, I’ll take his pension and health care.


  5. - TCB - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:02 am:

    Governor Pat Quinn received a lovely piece of Native American art at an event yesterday. Following his appearance, PQ’s Indian name was also as “Chief Foots in Mouth”


  6. - x ace - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:04 am:

    Chief Illiniwek #29 presents ” Speaks with Forked Tongue” award to the Governor.


  7. - Reggaeman - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:11 am:

    Governor picking up the Door Mat Personality Award


  8. - Anonymous - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:16 am:

    I wonder if I can make a tie out of this!


  9. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:27 am:

    “We were thankful Pat Quinn won the last election … Our annual Governor’s Gift would have had no room if ‘Adam Andrzekewski’ won”

    “Little does the governor know, but this was a “re-gift” of a present made FOR a former girlfriend.”


  10. - wordslinger - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:34 am:

    Wind Talker and Long-Winded Talker.


  11. - I'm Just Saying - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:39 am:

    I wonder if he can turn into a bag and retire betsy :)


  12. - Joe from Joliet - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:50 am:

    PQ-
    This is my plan for financial solvency here in our state, the great state of Illinois. A road map. A red map. A red road map. There is some blue, but mostly it is red. Like the financial condition of our state, the great state of Illinois.


  13. - Anonymous - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 11:53 am:

    Can I use this to catch those squirrels I keep seeing?


  14. - Ron Burgundy - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:01 pm:

    To play off Reggaeman:

    “Pictured: A doormat holding another doormat.”


  15. - Kerfuffle - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:02 pm:

    PQ - This is great. I’m going to hang it in my office so I don’t forget how to spell my name ever again.


  16. - Anonymous 2 - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:02 pm:

    “I’m Pat Quinn, and I approve this kilim.”


  17. - Jake From Elwood - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:06 pm:

    Governor begins providing Chinese mass-produced “Quinn Rugs” to award recipients. On the back side is a picture of the Asian Carp.


  18. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:17 pm:

    “Do you have this in Purple?”


  19. - Booya - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:22 pm:

    I have just traded the state planes for this flying carpet. Look how much money we will save in fuel costs.


  20. - RNUG - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:32 pm:

    There has to be some kind of irony in Quinn giving recognition to a man who greatly enhanced worldwide communication …


  21. - WazUp - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:46 pm:

    “This is great I will wear it when I give my budget speech to the general assembly!”


  22. - WazUp - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 12:47 pm:

    ‘Pet Quinn’? No thanks.


  23. - dupage dan - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 1:03 pm:

    WazUp caught the “typo”. Did anyone else?

    Or is that how the aliens spell “P&t”?


  24. - Rich Miller - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 1:10 pm:

    ===WazUp caught the “typo”===

    Kinda surprised it took that long.

    lol


  25. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 1:21 pm:

    They told Gov. Quinn, the ‘upside down “e” ‘… makes the ‘hard a’ sound.

    If you turn it upside down, it says …”Let the Press Tour the Prisons” … its subtle, but you can read it.

    Lt. Governor Shelia Simon got the matching oven mitt.

    The governor was more excited that they remembered there are 2 “n”s, that upset about the “upside down e” …

    “Governor, the ‘upside down e’ is a symbol of strength and charm.”


  26. - hisgirlfriday - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 1:23 pm:

    I never knew that you spelled Pat Quinn’s first name with a schwa.


  27. - OneMan - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 2:16 pm:

    Also what does that thing have to do with an LED and the 50th anniversary of it’s invention?

    What am I missing…


  28. - Obamas Puppy - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 2:33 pm:

    This is how we keep prisoners warm in Illinois


  29. - zatoichi - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 2:52 pm:

    The Great Quinndini practices his latest trick: ‘The fake hand is on the shoulder. Here is my message to the CapFax crowd.’


  30. - Arthur Andersen - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 2:54 pm:

    This is an LED? I had no idea they were so cozy!


  31. - D.P. Gumby - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 3:07 pm:

    Not even Mecca can help him.


  32. - Anonymous - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 4:53 pm:

    Quinn: “Oh great! A personal rug! Now someone find me some state employees and a few developmental center residents so I can pull it out from under them.”


  33. - the ghost in the darkness - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 5:10 pm:

    Trust me I’ll never pull the rug from under you!


  34. - Just The Way It Is One - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 7:13 pm:

    ‘..AND SOOO AFter the dog ATE my son’s homework, or the bulk of it, YOU understand, Governor, on his History project, well…umm, THIS is what was left and…um…so we resolved to stitch YOUR name onto the top end of the rug, instead, YA know, since I and soooo, here ya GO! Hope ya LIKE it!!!”


  35. - ko - Thursday, Oct 25, 12 @ 9:00 pm:

    “This is why I haven’t been able to start up my Grassroots Pension Campaign…I’ve been quilting!”
