You see this book? This book tells the future. It tells the outcome of every major political event till the end of the century… governor, senator, congressman, president. The records in this book is worth billions, and I’m giving it to you. Oh, and by the way, I even marked where you become POTUS.
“It was lost during the days of Thompson. In here is the secret to governing. Others only found chapters, snippets if you will… but here… here is the book… it’s $7.00.”
“And then towards the end of the grow guide they even tell you how to hide your outdoor plants from the helicopters! I even heard of people burying rail cars in Canada to avoid those pesky thermo imaging devices the coppers got!”
JBP “Yeah I’m gonna legalize it so you don’t have to worry about the coppers in helicopters”
The book group meets on the third Wednesday of each month. Mike hosted in November, so you are up for December. I think its John’s turn to bring chips, and Bill need to bring drinks. I wrote the discussion questions on the bookmark. Jim will bring the tissues. This one is a tear jerker.
Since you’re moving to town, the Springfield chapter of the Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo’s meets on Thursdays. I bookmarked a map to the lodge. Are you gonna bring your buddy Barney along?
This is Mike Royko’s book “Boss”, the biography of Richard J. Daley. Mike Madigan learned democratic machine politics at Hizzoner’s right hand. This book tells the secret to Madigan’s political longevity and power. I bookmarked the secret to which type of apples he likes.
“This is a special, hardcover edition of the new AFSCME contract. The bookmark is where you’ll find the new pay tables. How does January 15 work for you?”
JB: “You’re saying this is all the possible tax increases that are known to exist?
Man: “Yep, the bookmark is where Rauner stopped looking once he signed his only budget.”
“In this book, you learn 60 and 30… that governors own… that governors owning is really good too. You’re gonna learn to get advice from past governors. You won’t learn a thing about Madigan, that has to be learned by experience. ‘You’ll be fine’. Understand? ‘You’ll be fine”. It’s in the book… “
