Hey, they learned how to properly use “turnaround!”
- sss - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 5:22 pm:
Darn, I used a split infinitive!
- Precinct Captain - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 5:23 pm:
I hope Evelyn has been studyin’ up!
- How Ironic - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 5:23 pm:
To discuss haircuts? Or just craineotomies?
- walker - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 5:26 pm:
Keep your hands to yourself Governor.
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 5:31 pm:
I hope Slip and Sue ain’t goin’ too.
“Governor,
Losing a digit isn’t as bad as they say.

“Cutting our way to profits.”

I’m glad Rauner is attending Sawing & Shearing tomorrow, but he really should have begun negotiations with Madigan and Cullerton much sooner.

Everything?

“Turnaround!?” exclaimed the governor’s assistant, “this prop of a van can barely go around corners!”
- truthteller - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 5:39 pm:
Sawing and shearing. Isn’t that what he’s been doing to the budget.
Worry not. He’ll cut everyone else’s fingers not his own or those of any of his rich friends
- illinoised - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 5:52 pm:
Sawin’ and shearin’ away at the gunmen waste - and by the way, Y ‘ all are earnin’ too much.

Tip to S & S employees: If he asks for a selfie, RUN! Or maybe take the day off if you can.

MrJM, that was funny!
Sadly also true….
- Amalia - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 6:36 pm:
kind of like friday the 13th is irony land with Rauner. maybe his administration is really just a giant setup for a movie by Christopher Guest.
- DuPage - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 6:46 pm:
The last election called and said it wants it’s campaign speeches back.

He’s paying them $30,000/month on a no bid contract, right?
- Wordslinger - Thursday, Mar 12, 15 @ 6:52 pm:
Sounds like the barn in “Walk Hard” where John C. Reilly and the dude who plays Arlo Givens had the machete fight.
In a tortured segue, my book on “Justified” ending: Ava lives,
Raylan and Boyd never leave Harlan alive.

I hear it will feature an interpretive dance featuring the 1983 hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart” with Rauner playing the part of Bonnie Tyler. The presentation will feature a remake of the video, which if you haven’t seen it you should, in which Rauner will seduce the working stiffs of the factory.

Wonder if these folks are payin’ the new service sales tax?

I looked at the company’s website. He’d better not get too close to the blast furnace.

In an unprecedented move, the Governor invited Government union bosses to join him for the demonstration. Spokesman Lance Trover says the trashcan van broke down and the Governor intened to be there when the mishap with the union bosses occurred.

Maybe he’ll meet Forklift Driver Claus.

Governor places order for 192 table saws-says its only coincidence there are 192 members in General Assembly.
Schock flies in-shears sheep while bare chested-posts photo to Instagram and hires three lambs and puts them on payroll.

If a masked man with a machete showed up as a joke, it wouldn’t be taken seriously.
