Friday Topinka blogging
Friday, Mar 10, 2023 - Posted by Rich Miller * We used to have a regular feature at the dawn of this blog called “Friday Topinka blogging.” I’d post an image of our then-state Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka and the far-right trolls would come out of the woodwork to fight with the normies. The far-right hated her because she was a pro-choice woman who favored gay rights and they lost their ever-loving minds when she took over the Illinois Republican Party. Good times. But the game got old after the trolls scurried elsewhere and I literally ran out of online photos to post (the Internet wasn’t as all-encompassing back then). The cameras loved her and she always obliged… 
* I bring this up because Rep. Jackie Haas delivered a speech on the House floor this week to commemorate International Women’s Day and honor Judy Baar. It’s worth a watch, even for you newbies who never had the opportunity to meet JBT… There will never be anyone else like her.
