* But what’s up with the clean energy stuff? I Googled it and initially came up with a couple of stories from 2008 like this one…
In one TV commercial, Kool and the Gang warble their celebration of good times because coal, yes, coal, makes the party possible in America. In another, white and black, young and old, male and female, and even someone in a doctor’s green scrubs, stare into the camera and soulfully declare: “I believe” American know-how will make coal clean and stop it from contributing to climate change. Not sold? Maybe you missed the newspaper ads and billboards warning that turning away from coal could mean blackouts, unemployment and higher electric bills.
I am working in solar energy. I’m working with the Chicago Institute of Technology. I’m talking to some people about solar energy. There is sustainable energy in Africa. Look at Africa. There is 80 percent sun all the time. I’m in the process of just bringing people to the table right now. I’m doing the introductions. I’m doing this because solar energy is clean. It’s the way of the future. “Klean” energy is Kool.

Well, I see that he is “Kool” enough to be worthy of a Rauner tie. That’s something.

“Before I met with Kool to talk about clean energy,..”
Stranger than (pulp) fiction.
“What now? Lemme tell you what now, Kool. I’m gonna call a couple latte-sippin’ Frat Boys to go medieval on Madigan with robo-calls and emails…”

Did he mean Illinois Institute of Technology? That would make sense.
Also, Rich, I would’ve guessed your favorite was “Misled”
