* It’s kinda late in the day for a “serious” question, so how about we lighten things up with a caption contest? Rep. Lou Lang and Gov. Pat Quinn share a moment…
Gov. Pat Quinn winces after losing yet another staring contest, while Lang taunts his foe by continuing to stare at him for another twenty-five minutes.
“Lou, I swear I had nothing to do with those “Dump Lou. It’s Time” bumper stickers from the 90’s”

Rep Lang: Now we have the Marijuana thing worked out, you can help me as the chair of the gaming to get some more casino’s
Quinn “Where do you want the next casino”

The bar is high today!
“Yes, Lou, Squeezy will let go of you, but we have a couple things to discuss first.”
So you want to fly out to Colorado and find out first hand about the Medical Marijuana? Then we could maybe drive down and do a little fly fishing with Rahm and Bruce!
“Lou Lang: Congratulations. How do you feel?
Gov. Quinn: I gotta pee.”

“Lou: Whatdya mean? PQ: Well I MEAN that ‘the squeaky wheel gets the grease’ Lou, sure, but what I’ve been tryin’ to TELL ya, to your face for YEARS now ‘cuz ya just won’t LISTen, is that your Casino Bill is STILL just SO greasy with favoritism and ethical problems, Lou–I think I’d BARF, right here–on YOU, if I even THOUGHT about signin’ it, Lou. So ya really just need to pull out your Mr. Clean and cut the grease–and ya’d better do it FAST, ‘cuz I am really feelin’ like I need to barf right now….
Lou: Really, Governor? PQ: OH God, yeah, yeah, REALly–you ‘n your dang Gamblin’–ughhh…you’ll really have to excuse me Lou–where’s the Men’s Room, hmm…!”
Quinn: What can we come up with now in the way of useless drivel to distract the voters attention from the governmental mess we have allowed to take place?
Lang: How about passing a law making it National Squirrel Day? Soccer moms and kids will laud you for it. The media will slobber over you and your concern for poor defenseless creatures who are never made to feel important.
Quinn: I like it!
