  1. - Lt Guv - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:01 pm:

    Hell.


  2. - yeah - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:03 pm:

    Well, Halloween was just last week. So I figure they are low on grocery staples and it is just a routine grocery run.
    List: Eye of newt


  3. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:03 pm:

    Filming for “Dad’s Home State” is scheduled for tomorrow…


  4. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:04 pm:

    Dartmouth “Parents Weekend”


  5. - wordslinger - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:04 pm:

    Where’s he going?

    Obviously Contrived Regular-Guy Photo Class.


  6. - Anon221 - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:04 pm:

    Well, what “costume” is the trash can van an “accessory” for? Maybe he’s just rollin’ out to get his license sticker renewed.


  7. - Team Sleep - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:04 pm:

    He was going down to Recycled Records to check out their latest selection of vinyl records and antique beer signs.


  8. - Demoralized - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:05 pm:

    He’s been contracted as the leaf pick-up guy for Springfield.


  9. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:05 pm:

    Ounce of Prevention’s “Man of the Year” luncheon.


  10. - Ducky LaMoore - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:05 pm:

    Time to find a housekeeper that doesn’t mind driving this heap…. Lost 2 last week.


  11. - 47th Ward - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:06 pm:

    I just assumed he’d be moving his stuff over to the Director’s House at the Fairgrounds. You know, like you do when you move.


  12. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:07 pm:

    Deposition for Ole Slip and Sue’s latest.. “accident”


  13. - Ron Burgundy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:07 pm:

    Considering the state of the Mansion and the Fairgrounds, I’m guessing “down by the river” with Matt Foley.


  14. - Demoralized - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:07 pm:

    AFSCME’s Springfield office for a lunch reception


  15. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:08 pm:

    To the car wash vacuums… to find another $3-5 million in the cushions


  16. - Anonymous - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:08 pm:

    Off to vote early and often.


  17. - Demoralized - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:09 pm:

    To the bank to make a small withdrawal


  18. - Rabid - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:10 pm:

    Loser sign


  19. - Flynn's mom - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:11 pm:

    I agree with Lt Guv.


  20. - ChicagoVinny - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:11 pm:

    Cleanin’ up all the letter ‘G’’s he’s been droppin’ and littern’ around the State


  21. - Huh? - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:12 pm:

    I’m surprised that heap is even allowed to be within the Winnetka city limits.

    As to where 1.4% is going - unemployment office to sign up for benefits because he sure isn’t doing his job, so he may as well be unemployed.


  22. - Midstate Indy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:12 pm:

    See ‘BOSS’ season 2.


  23. - AlfondoGonz - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:13 pm:

    To cast an undercover vote for Donald Trump


  24. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:13 pm:

    Meeting with a realtor about selling off Eastern Illinois University buildings.


  25. - Altgelds Ghost - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:13 pm:

    One way ticket to palookaville


  26. - Langhorne - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:17 pm:

    So phony
    Makes me wanna yak

    Regardless of outcome, tomorrow’s message is great success, a mandate for the agenda, and persistence going forward.

    Grand bargain here it comes. If the cubs can win, we should too.

    Starve the beast.

    Starve the beast.


  27. - Midstate Indy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:17 pm:

    Obviously completely impromptu as Gov. Wing-it has a staffer snap the photo so he can post it as soon as he gets done jamming to Van Halen’s Panama in in the trash can to nowhere


  28. - Midstate Indy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:20 pm:

    OW - any potential EIU sales will be strictly brokered through Reggie Phillips, future president of Oral Roberts East.


  29. - Langhorne - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:21 pm:

    Winning!


  30. - Midstate Indy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:21 pm:

    My suspicion is piqued by anyone driving a van with curtains.


  31. - LizPhairTax - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:22 pm:

    Those troopers aren’t “adventuring” Governor, they’re responding to a call about a creepy doofus driving aimlessly in a van with curtains on the windows.


  32. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:23 pm:

    To watch another Social Service group close their doors for good…

    … with a smile on his face and a happy tear rolling down his cheek….


  33. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:24 pm:

    If he makes it to Oswego I’ll try to get a selfie with him…


  34. - Johnny Tractor - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:25 pm:

    OW’s EIU offering - made me laugh until I remembered that it’s essentially true. Shakin’ up Springfield by blowin’ up the State …


  35. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:27 pm:

    - Johnny Tractor -

    Yeah, sorry about that, it’s gallows or dark humor that sneaks up on ya. That’s my bad.

    “Where’s he going?”

    The Rauner Word Jumble is low on spare parts and Election Day results are hours away…


  36. - 47th Ward - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:29 pm:

    Still searching for Springfield’s best horseshoe.


  37. - Henry Francis - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:31 pm:

    Hmmmmm . . . An unscheduled trip somewhere (an “adventure”) . . . In the middle of a workday . . . Maybe the office?


  38. - HRC2016 - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:33 pm:

    To see Dan Proft and check on his investments.


  39. - Oneman - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:33 pm:

    Around the block just to troll you all at this point
    Or
    Lighten up Francis


  40. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:33 pm:

    - Midstate Indy -

    It’s only appropriate that Phillips completes his selling out of Eastern with the brokered sell. What follow thru!

    “Where’s he going?”

    Meeting with Kass about spinning off “Madigan” with “Beat Writer”, the story of a mild-mannered shill who at the end, really made his career about everything he supposedly was against.


  41. - A guy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:34 pm:

    Indiana. Immediately across the state line, that van blends in just fine.


  42. - Demoralized - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:38 pm:

    To check his P.O. box for vote by mail applications


  43. - 47th Ward - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:39 pm:

    ===Immediately across the state line, that van blends in just fine.===

    So does Rauner’s political agenda.


  44. - Ron Burgundy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:42 pm:

    Going out to make some extra cash for the state by driving people around town… sort of a Governor’s Uber, or GUber.


  45. - Nobody Sent - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:43 pm:

    To hell in a hand basket, just like the rest of Illinois thanks to his continued campaigning and lack of leadership.


  46. - Rabid - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:44 pm:

    Taking Stella pheasant hunting good luck


  47. - Cubs in '16 - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:47 pm:

    To purchase a bumper sticker for the trash can that reads “If the van’s rockin’ don’t come a knockin’”


  48. - LTSW - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:47 pm:

    Headed out for a carton of Marlboro reds and a 30-pack of Natty Light.


  49. - Rich Miller - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:48 pm:

    47th Ward broke the internet with that last one.

    Ouch!


  50. - Timmeh - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:48 pm:

    He’s going to sing Deep Purple’s “Highway Star”, except annoyingly replace car with van in the lyrics.


  51. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:49 pm:

    HBO - “Dad’s Home State” - Season 2, Episode 51

    Bruce hops into the prop van for Twitter picture, gets to the end of the driveway and runs out of gas. Diana begins planning the “End of Year” celebration at work, reassures everyone, gigglin, that there’s plenty of money for whatever she wants. Diana’s State Employee tries to schedule social service provider visits for Diana and Bruce. Lance trolls Lou Lang’s Cubs congratulatory tweets, “ck” writes emails newspaper Editorial Boards with Wednesday election results spin, Goldberg writes a letter to AAA Roadside Service. Comedy, 65 minutes.


  52. - vibes - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:56 pm:

    GOTV in the QC. The kicker is that he’s taking D pluses to the polls, as he knows an HRC mid-term in 2018 is his best chance at re-elect.


  53. - A Jack - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:04 pm:

    Out trolling for unwary Democrat voters in his “blue” van whom he will drop at an imaginary polling place east of Cornland.


  54. - Cubs in '16 - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:09 pm:

    Eastbound and down…


  55. - Leave it to BVR - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:10 pm:

    I don’t care where he’s going as long as he doesn’t come back.


  56. - siriusly - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:11 pm:

    There is a Panda Express in Wilmette. Everybody loves Orange Chicken.


  57. - siriusly - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:12 pm:

    It can’t be that unscheduled of a trip if you stop for a staffer to take a photo and post the photo of your “candid” moment.


  58. - Almost the Weekend - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:14 pm:

    2018 campaign starts on Wednesday. Making sure the van still works.


  59. - Trolling Troll - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:18 pm:

    With him driving the state,this song won’t stop playing in my head.

    Well we know where we’re going
    But we don’t know where we’ve been
    And we know what we’re knowing
    But we can’t say what we’ve seen
    And we’re not little children
    And we know what we want
    And the future is certain
    Give us time to work it out


  60. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:20 pm:

  66. - Michelle Flaherty - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:31 pm:

    Running short on western wear. Gotta hit Big R before the polls close.


  67. - Streator Curmudgeon - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:31 pm:

    To the multi-plex, for a Pauly Shore film festival.


  69. - Albany Park Patriot - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:39 pm:

    His little bit about his “trash can van” is so obnoxious. He’s making fun of slumming it, which so many people have to do. He’s been rich his entire life. Never been a point since he’s been an adult that he couldn’t afford a luxury car. But HAHAHAHAHA trash can van! Just like the poors!


  70. - Oswego Willy - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:39 pm:

    Rauner, along with Terrence Mann, is heading to Chisolm, MN to meet up with Moolight Graham. One game, no at-bats.


  71. - A Jack - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:42 pm:

    Over to O-HI-O to pick up his winnins’.


  72. - WhoKnew - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:46 pm:

    The more important question is, “Is he comin’ back? /s


  73. - LakeviewJ - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:50 pm:

    “Finally had time to haul away all that leftover Bryce Benton lit!”


  74. - JS Mill - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 3:10 pm:

    To Pick up Diana and hit the Drive Inn, heard there is a MJM documentary playin’.

    Supposed to be real good.

  85. - Skeptic - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 4:00 pm:

    Out to bust a mystery. It wasn’t a monster that’s been scaring off Illinois businesses, it was that Old Man Madigan in a monster suit trying to keep businesses at bay so he could profit with his law practice!

    “And if it weren’t for you meddling Republicans, I would have gotten away with it!”


  86. - Wensicia - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 4:07 pm:

  89. - RNUG - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 4:29 pm:

    In the great Chicago tradition, to pick up some pre-printed ballot boxes in case some “late votes” are needed for Mungef.


  90. - RNUG - Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 4:30 pm:

    Darn auto-correct, supposed to say:

    In the great Chicago tradition, to pick up some pre-stuffed ballot boxes in case some “late votes” are needed for Munger.
