“I wanna go fast! I wanna go fast! I wanna go fast … I wanna go Fast!”
That delicious aroma you smell coming from the SDem Caucus is some legislation that we are going to … Shake … and Bake …Shake and Bake!”

Is Sandoval pronounced like the town in Southern Illinois?
Comment by AlphaBettor Thursday, Apr 4, 13 @ 9:53 am
Sen. Sandoval was a natural at NASCAR, I mean, there are only Left Turns …

Sandoval is going to race his car around a sand oval in Sandoval.

Oh, the Google just taught me that Werco is a charter plane services company. I thought he was pushing a charter school company for a minute. That would have seemed appropriate, somehow.

Hey, it has no driver!
Just like the State of Illinois!

My car only goes left, just like me.

Based on our experience running the state, we could easily get this baby to go 200 mph in the wrong direction!

You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to go anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the General Assembly
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won’t have to drive too far
Just ‘cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
(regrets to Tracy Chapman)

Going really really fast, but going nowhere.

Somehow, a Chicago Democratic politician managed to find his way to Downtown Peoria. And, find the largest private employer in the State of Illinois.

Just what the pit crew needs. Another set of tools.

If Illinois does not rethink its tax policies, Caterpillar is getting out of here FAST.

Somehow, a bow tie and NASCAR doesn’t work. And do they still sell Wheaties?
Comment by Darienite Thursday, Apr 4, 13 @ 10:44 am
The State of Illinois official NASCAR racer. We chose the number 31 because that is how many years it’s going to take to agree on a pension fix.

Sandoval and Koehler pose next to Jeff Burton’s car at the Dixie truck stop.
Just don’t tick Tony Stewart off. Even Mike can’t help you then.
Dialogue balloon pops up above Martin’s head. “Boogity Boogity!”

- Arthur Andersen -,
Many thanks.
- AA -, I thought about this in a quiet moment outside today …
Why do I see the “AWillyWord” Con$ulting office like the “Dick Van Dyke” Show, but instead of writing for “The Alan Brady Show”, we get Bruce Rauner? I chuckled …
