“Love is the only thing that can save this poor creature, and I am going to convince him that he is loved even at the cost of my own life. No matter what you hear in there, no matter how cruelly I beg you, no matter how terribly I may scream, do not open this door or you will undo everything I have worked for. Do you understand? Do not open this door”
Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Oct 12, 12 @ 12:22 pm
“For as long as I can remember people have hated me. They looked at my face and my body and they ran away in horror. In my loneliness I decided that if I could not inspire love, which is my deepest hope, I would instead cause fear. I live because this poor half-crazed genius, has given me life. He alone held an image of me as something beautiful and then, when it would have been easy enough to stay out of danger, he used his own body as a guinea pig to give me a calmer brain and a somewhat more sophisticated way of expressing myself.”

“I never should have gotten that Mighty Mouse tattoo on the back of my neck yesterday. Being in the Navy has so many traditions. Man, the collar is really making it itch. But it’s cool, so it’s so worth it. Ask Enyart if he has cool tattoos, that will shut him up.”

“Honestly… would you accept a note from the IRS that says, ‘Dear General, Jason paid taxes. So there. Signed the IRS” Now, take that note, and imagine it’s in Crayon with Power Ranger stickers as a header… So, where do you think that came from…seriously, honestly…”

Willie, good to see you’re still alive. I’m laughing to death that you were golfing. Arnie Palmers for you and Cross, on me.
For all the fun, Jason will not be out-hustled.
Back in the day, when he was running for the Louie Gov. nomination against some alleged big-hitters, at least one with old-school McKenna money, he was the only GOP dude who put any lit in my mailbox. And he put in a lot. He hustled.
He’s won statewide in a GOP primary. He’s definitely in the hunt for Congress. You have to respect the hustle.
And damn, he is one big dude.
Peter Boyle, eat your heart out.

Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 12, 12 @ 4:48 pm
Word…
I knew the irony of the golf would not be lost, so might as well come clean.
I said back then that Jason should have started with the statehouse or even Congress, so I do give him props for going back, and actually being in position to pull this off.
Now, that being said … How can I …NOT mock him just for mocking material out there? I hope you can understand …
I am sure my own golfing adventure will not go un-mocked in the future. Maybe I will play IN a Tom Cross outing … Never know.
Thanks for the thoughts wordslinger, and Josh for wondering if a well being visit was needed. However, wasnit my mocking, or me that was more missed?
Please don’t answer that.
With kindest personal regards, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Oswego Willy

I tell you what, Willie, Schock has a better chance than Emanuel of ever being Speaker.
Governor, too.
Comment by wordslinger Friday, Oct 12, 12 @ 6:21 pm
You are right about that, wordslinger. Schock’s stock is only going to rise, starting with the track he is on with Ways and Means. Rahm is going to find being Chicago’s Mayor should remain a dream, and not be a real dream job. Schock only has time on his hands, and to his advantage. Rahm is working with a shelf life and it is closer to expiring than keeping fresh.
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 12, 12 @ 6:29 pm
Wow, I am SO much taller than this guy. Look at me! I must be a good foot taller, and if I strain my neck a little bit a I bet I’m even more taller. I may not be a general but I sure am a tall junior officer. I wonder what the question was… I dunno, but I AM ginormous! Look at me!
