Thanks to Ron Sandack’s session tweets, I know how the Sox are doing on session says.
… or The Owl is not using the intertubes at all. Nope, but playing games and tweeting on his phone to pass the time.

Wow! That’s pretty funny.
- mokenavince - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:03 am:
Illinois ain’t ready for decorum.
- WETHEPEOPLE - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:05 am:
LOL
- John Gregory (ex-IRN) - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:05 am:
But it does make it possible for news outlets without credentials to act like they’re covering the Capitol.
- Ron Burgundy - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:06 am:
All we’ve done is go from Angry Pols to Angry Pols with Angry Birds.
- Huh? - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:08 am:
Like cameras in a court room, now they are playing to an audience, putting on a show to make it look like they are doing something.

I’m guessing… Rep. Chapa La Via… only thinks seeing session is.. Half… as good as it once was thought.
I can Fully understand her thinking… if that’s the case.
- Oswego Willy - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:14 am:
To be bipartisan…
I’m guessing the Confederate veterans were excited to watch when Rep. Ives felt the need to honor them…
- Michelle Flaherty - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:16 am:
the next effort at decorum will feature a Mike Flannery/Charles Thomas anchor desk LIVE on the House floor for all session days.

Decorum is so hard to find on-line that a Google search turns up zero results.
- wordslinger - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:25 am:
Mike Bost knew better.
He parlayed those innnertubes into a seat in Congress with his Angry Moses act.
Still one of the best Bad Springfield Opera arias: “These damn bills (karate chop)….. I feel like I’m trying to be released from Egypt….”
- Norseman - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:26 am:
Michelle smacks a HR again.
- 47th Ward - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:32 am:
Look, anybody expecting decorum in an on-line discussion is a mindless fool, and idiotic troll or a partisan hack spewing talking points nonsense.
- Formerly Known As... - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:34 am:
The headline was true! Playing Candy Crush from the floor may be the only way to stay calm and respectful of decorum these days. /s
- A guy - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 11:39 am:
Here’s your contest:
____________ could bring decorum to Illinois House
- Wensicia - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 12:18 pm:
Sure, like the Internet’s brought decorum to major on-line publications and blogs (Capitol Fax is the exception, of course).
- Six Degrees of Separation - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 1:04 pm:
A Guy, I left it blank. Where’s my winning prize?
- Ghost - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 1:05 pm:
47th ward wins the internet
- Boone's is Back - Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 1:39 pm:
Definitely didn’t stop people from dropping F bombs during livestreamed pressers
