Congratulations, Jacob!
Monday, May 28, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * Jacob Schulz started commenting on this blog as “JakeCP” way back in 2006 when he was just 14 years old. Despite his age, he mostly managed to hold his own in what can often be a rough and tumble environment. The African-American kid was somewhat unusual because he was a strong supporter of Republican Judy Baar Topinka in her campaign against Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Well, Jacob is all grown up now and recently reached an important life milestone…
Jacob has also been heavily involved in Chicago’s blues scene both as a performer and a promoter.

God bless him. He was right of course. We should all have supported Judy.

Why was it unusual that he supported a Republican candidate?

Whackbat, go take a nap.

That’s great news. Congratulations!
By the way, back in 2006 a few of us (myself and many others) were convinced JBT was just as bad as Blago. We sure called that one wrong.

Sorry. Forgot to add. There is nothing quite so cool as having that graduate degree hood placed on your shoulders. Congratulations again.

Thank you Jacob for showing the world that CapFax commenters can, on certain rare occasions, do something worthwhile.
In all seriousness: congrats, good luck, and I wish you nothing but the best.
