* I’ve been stumped on a question today, so I came up with this: How about you use the comments to send a Valentine’s Day greeting to your favorite prominent Illinoisan?
I’d like to send a valentine to Rep. Stava-Murray, but she’d probably forget about it right after receiving it and ignore it to focus on the next big holiday.
Dear First Lady M.K.,
I hope you enjoy your first Valentines Day as the First Lady of Illinois. Tell the Gov to get you something nice and to pass recreational MJ soon!

To my favorite prominent Illinoisian, Rich Miller,
Roses are red. Violets are blue.
When you take off for a state holiday,
I go boo-hoo.

I also vote for Rich Miller. No other media outlet keeps me more informed.

Open your heart and more love for you will happen
Close your heart and less opportunity for love will remain.

From Danny Solis to all:
You used to call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my approval,
Call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my approval,
And I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing,
I know when that hotline bling,
The feds hear everything

Lanky and tall, you walk miles
Returning pennies.

But at least he’s not Rauner.
