I would put the new Lorimer first in this post.

And I’m sorry, but this is just ridiculous:
“A Rauner spokeswoman last week declined to tell the Chicago Tribune which of the governor’s children was expecting. Rauner has four daughters and two sons.”

LIFE just got a lot more fun, loving, caring, blessing, tiring….less sleep, but small price to pay for the best gift you’ve ever been given. Congrats

That’s a Rauner I fully support

So, either I have had too little or too much coffee, but for several beats I was thinking “Wait. Barton is Rauner’s son in law?” Mind. Blown.
Now that rational thought has returned to my brain, congrats to the Rauners and to Barton’s family, separately.
