Some folks are having trouble with both of these concepts lately, but keep it Illinois-centric and be polite to each other, please.

    Let’s make the will of the people the law of the land.

    Saw that last night and thought it was hilarious. Also saw nothing materialized at the Capitol here yesterday. Very happy about that.


  3. - Essential State Employee - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:06 am:

    Pat Sanders is going to visit Bernie Quinn. He will also stop by to visit Squeezy.


  4. - Anonamoose - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:06 am:

    I see all these and I get mad because they’re quite clever and I wished I could come up with one, too.

    They call me Oy Boy.

    It is so sad to watch how far the Blackhawks have fallen during this “rebuild”. A lifeless team that has look badly overmatched in their first four games. No continuity on offense, and nobody qulified to play the goaltender position. Knew this might happen, but I sure hope the young kids they are working with develop or we are in for a few very lean years (good thing there are so many great channels to binge series on nowadays- into season three of Game of Thrones right now :-)

    Photo actually is of Madigan frustrated by the late Instacart delivery of his apple on top of everything else that’s happened.

    Virginia McCaskey refuses to leave after Bears Packers game, pondering why in the world we hired Ryan Pace.

    “I’m feeling the Squeeze”


  12. - Frank talks - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:16 am:

    Larry David wondering why he left California for the East Coast


  13. - Rahm's Parking Meter - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:21 am:

    I wanted a second latke with this corned beef from Manny’s. Why do I have to pay for the second?


  14. - "Old Timer Dem" - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:34 am:

    Mike Singletary is being interviewed for the Bears defensive coordinator job. We can only hope he gets hired. Singletary would bring back the Buddy Ryan “46″ blitz defense that was the staple of the Bears 1985 Super bowl championship team.


  15. - Essential State Employee - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:39 am:

    Mr. Whipple is going to the Store to Squeezy the Charmin.


  16. - Skeptic - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:51 am:

    “Mike Singletary is being interviewed for the Bears defensive coordinator job.” He was a great player. His record as coach has been so-so. So I guess that makes him perfect for the Bears.


  17. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:53 am:

    “Chicagoan waiting January 2nd for Cook County Forest Preserve permit for annual neighborhood picnic”


  18. - Keyrock - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:54 am:

    Where are the petitions? What good is being first in line without the petitions?


  19. - Oswego Willy - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:55 am:

    Family of graduates sit and wonder if an outside college graduation is at all wise.


  20. - Essential State Employee - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:56 am:

    ==Mike Singletary is being interviewed for the Bears defensive coordinator job. ==

    If the Bears bring back Singletary for DC, and the Sox brought back LaRussa, then the Bears better bring back Ditka.


  21. - Essential State Employee - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 10:57 am:

    ==Family of graduates sit and wonder if an outside college graduation is at all wise.==

    “But I saved their MAP Grants!”

    “The ‘call sheet’ said 9am. Well, here I am, 10:40, no set up, no rehearsals, just sitting here. I can go for coffee. Where’s craft service? I better not move, but boy I can go for some coffee.”


  23. - Streator Curmudgeon - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 11:00 am:

    Can’t be Pat Quinn. He’s not holding a petition clipboard in his mittens.


  24. - Flyin' Elvis'-Utah Chapter - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 11:00 am:

    “that was a staple of the Bears 85 run”

    Yeah, a defensive strategy from 35 years ago will be perfect for today’s game.

    Again, any Bears fan that buys a ticket under this ownership is a sucker.


  25. - Flyin' Elvis'-Utah Chapter - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 11:01 am:

    I’ve got a feeling that 20 years from now Bernie Sanders will be viewed as a genius who was simply ahead of his time.


  26. - Tully - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 11:12 am:

  28. - Too cute by half - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 11:40 am:

    “I am once again asking you to NOT run around the pool.”


  29. - Anonymous - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 11:49 am:

    Flying Elvis, a pressure defense run properly will work in any era. Still the same game with 11 players on each side of the ball. More importantly, Singletary will bring discipline to the defense.


  30. - Grandson of Man - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 11:52 am:

    Samurai Mike was interviewed for the Bears’ defensive coordinator gig. He knows a thing or two about defenses and represents Bears glory. Hope he gets the job.

    Rahm’s parking meter is funny, but come on. Nobody can eat two Manny’s latkes.

    Nice tweet Rich, the CTA was good also. I am truly enjoyed the Bernie memes. Almost as good as the Lori Lightfoot memes

    =Nobody can eat two Manny’s latkes.=

    Not true. I’ve done it. With sour cream.


  35. - thisjustinagain - Thursday, Jan 21, 21 @ 4:10 pm:

    Nothing like the Bears hiring another famous player as “Coach”, then hamstringing him with questionable players and management decision-makers. I hope Mike realizes it’s not 1985, and the Bears are who we though they were for a reason in 2020.
