The Raw Milk Movement used all of their savings to get Gov. Rauner to try un-pastuerized milk knowing that it could make or break their political efforts in one gulp. Rauner reportedly said it tasted fine to him but was wondering out loud what this milk could potentially do to folks in retirement homes
“The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultraviolence.” — Alex from Anthony Burgess’s novel A Clockwork Orange(1962).

The Governor drinks to the plan to make cows RTW. “We don’t need those union cows in Illinois,” the Governor was quoted as saying. “Everyone knows that union cows produce less milk for the same amont of grain. And they give all their cream to the Democrats.”
Here is a toast to celebrate busting the cow’s union. Those cows had grown soft, only being milked two times a day. Once we got rid of that corrupt cow’s union, now we are milking them three times a day and feeding them less to boot. Let’s see if Governor Walker can match that!
Hey guys, come get in on this…they claim they “need” funding for this stuff in ISBE’s budget… I think they’re pulling our chain…I don’t even taste the Kahlua. The Dude would not approve. Let’s continue with our plan to zero out ISBE’s funding.
