* A reader had a good idea after I posted yesterday’s piece about Gov. Pat Quinn saying Bill Brady would rather that gay people “not exist.” His comment…
That is a pretty awesome play for the gay vote. Vote for me or you will *cease to exist.*
We need more attacks along these lines. Vote for me or the law of gravity will be reversed, etc.
* The Question: Fill in the blanks with a slogan that best surmises a major Illinois campaign this year: “Vote for _____ or ____________.”
As always, keep it clean. Snark is heavily encouraged, of course.

Bill Brady will win which will begin the imploding of the universe as all matter begins to be sucked into his empty suit continually collapsing upon itself thereby destroying all forms of life unacceptable to the grand master but still allowing the chosen ones to be warped into his brain where they will reside in his frontal cranium so they can continually worship with their chosen leader, Dan Quayle, who presides over all cerebral activity.
