    Comment by OneMan Thursday, Dec 13, 12 @ 10:31 am

  36. Them camo clothes I have got laundry numbers on them. You remember my number. Any GA Member forgets my number spends a night in the box. These here are the Conceal and Carry bills, you keep them with you. Any GA Member loses his copy of these Bills, spends a night in the box. There’s no messin’ or fighting on the Floor of Either chamber on my Bills. You got a grudge against another GA Member, you fight them Saturday afternoon, as the Bill dictates. Any GA Member messin’ or fighting on the Floor of Either chamber on my Bills spends a night in the box. First bell’s at five minutes of eight when you will GET to the floor to vote ‘Yes’ on my Bils. Last bell is at eight. Any GA Member not not on the Floor at eight, votin’ ‘Yes’ on my Bills, spends the night in the box. There is no adding Amendments to the Conceal and Carry Bills. To Amend my Bills, you must have both copies of your Amendments approved by ME. Any GA Memeber adding Amendments, without me approvin’… spends a night in the box. You get two copies of the Bills every Saturday. Now, every Saturday, you put the new copy of my Bills on the top… the Old Copy of the Bills on the bottom… and the bottom you turn in to the Caucus Chair. Any GA Member turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box. No one’ll sit on the Floor of their Chamber with negative buttons on. Any GA Member with negative buttons on sitting on the Floor spends a night in the box. Any GA Member loud talking against my Conceal and Carry Bills spends a night in the box. You got questions, you come to me. I’m Todd, the floor walker. I’m responsible for order in here.

  39. At first I was a little hesitant, but the chance to spend some time with Rahm is going to be worth it to help him understand our point of view…

    I am also curious about what he means about hunting ‘the most dangerous animal of all’ and why he sent me some blaze orange vests to wear…

  61. I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn’t even know it yet. Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river that snaked through Jason Plummer’s neighborhood, through the HGOP Headquarters, and through the state like a main circuit cable plugged straight to OW. It was no accident that I got to be the caretaker of Oswego Willy’s memory any more than being back in Oswego was an accident. There is no way to tell his story without telling my own. And if his story really is a confession, then so is mine.
