And so I finally told her: no way was I going to let him retire. I can’t have him moping around the house all day. Lisa should have asked me before bringing it up. I could have saved her a lot of time and trouble.
“And then that Capt Fax guy sells some ads, “conducts” a poll and sez some don’t like MJM. Was this the same poll that had Mitt Rauner winning by 20 or did he “conduct” 2 polls?”
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep me away
I must follow him, ever since he touched my hand I knew
That near him I always must be
And nothing can keep him from me
He is my destiny
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
He’ll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever
I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep, keep me away
Away from my love
I love him, I love him, I love him
And where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
He’ll always be my true love, my true love, my true love
From now until forever, forever, forever
I will follow him, follow him wherever he may go
There isn’t an ocean too deep
A mountain so high it can keep, keep me away
Away from my love
Do-do do-do-do do-do-do and where he goes
I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow
I know I’ll always love him
So I made up a lot of stuff about Michael Madigan, cause that’s what they wanted. But it was all lies. Uh, everything. And I kept saying Michael Madigan did this, Michael Madigan did that. So I said….yeah sure!
I’m running out of room on these dang wrists for the new - pension reform, term limits, minimum wage increase, 5% permanent tax, lower corporate tax, progressive tax, millionaire tax and Bruce go take a hike tax - wrist bands. jeesh Mike…
I know there are women, like my best friends, who would have gotten out of their the minute their boyfriend gave them a pass through grant to UNO to hide. But I didn’t. I was kind of turned on.
