Wicca groups joins ABATE in withdrawing their endorsement of Rauner after yet another poorly received attempt to pander to yet another group in Illinois
One half bucket of misplaced holy water and those two would melt into the sidewalk.
Rauner teases that if re-elected not only will he step up his costume purchases, but wife Diane will join in the hilarity of what are Bruce’s most relaxed and happiest years as an unregistered tax free munibond salesman to the wealthy.

I like the biker costume much more than this costume. With Big Brain Bruce he has so many costumes it’s hard to pick a favorite. I like the Carhart costume line as well……this is just so ordinary.
I know that the costume is supposed to be a wizard from Harry Potter, but man does he look like “Old Father Time 2018″ looking to step aside on New Year’s Eve. Maybe Pritzker could be the “Baby” for “2019.”
Bruce returns from Murphysboro, burns his costume at the mansion while playing “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” on his phone. Diana emails all her contacts that she told Bruce not to go to Murphysboro, so don’t be mad at her. Diana’s state employee starts a scrapbook of Bruce and Diana’s time at the mansion. Hud argues with Anne over which costume Bruce should wear giving a concession speech, the Looch takes all the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups from the mansion candy bin. Comedy, 71 minutes.
