I was walking down the street in the city and a limo stopped and I thought is was Mayor Daley But it was that Blagojevich.

House Speaker Mike Madigan instructs the Chicago White Sox on how to properly recognize the signs for “fastball” and “curve ball”, something the White Sox Have struggled with all season.

I can bend this inch-thick board using only my mind.
Comment by Pat Robertson Wednesday, May 4, 11 @ 3:19 pm
Wow, the Shaw fundraiser is really painful. None of the reporters said they complained to editors or news directors about the huge amount of time and space wasted on celebrity/mope news or indicated they would spend one second asking IL Corporate CEOs how much they doled out to RGA or Crossroads GPS in secret, unregulated, unreported campaign cash bout.
Finally Dane and Herguth are touting a redo of the ALd Burke police detail story tonight.

OK, one more time…imagine we’re using the principles of quantum physics to describe the current state of Illinois’ budget. This right here is a box. Inside the box is the budget and a cat. At any given time the cat and budget are both dead and alive until you open the box.

Forget those stories about Israeli tanks and slicers at Arby’s, Rahm got the idea from me.

Rich, I’ll just assume this means I should go ahead and start writing your obit. Here’s what I have so far:
“Although she has not been able to determine exactly what killed Miller, Coroner Susan Boone said she has not seen these symptoms since Scott Lee Cohen won the nomination.”

The itsy-bitsy governor walked down past Cairo town,
Down came the rants and he turned himself around,
Out came the voters and gave him half their minds,
Then the itsy-bitsy governor zipped back to Chi-town.

I’ve been listening to a lot of Joanna Newsome lately, and I realize that I don’t have the heart for politics anymore. I’m moving to Telluride and I’m going to learn to play the harp.
