And they put that new casino right across the street from us. So close you can almost reach out and touch it from city hall. Talk about rubbing our noses in it.

Yeah, it is a nice watch. Pat Brady gave it to me when I was sworn in. He said the IL Republican Party has a tradition of handing out retirement gifts when the new chairman takes office.

“But I’m a superstitious man. And if some unlucky incident should befall this vote and I don’t get elected - should I not get over 50% in this first vote, or if there actually NEEDS to be a second vote - or if this room gets struck by a bolt of lightning, them I’m going to blame some of the people in this room, and that I do not forgive. But, that aside, let me say that I swear, on the backs of all the elected precinct committeemen, that I will not be the one to break the peace we’ve made here today.”

As much as anyone, I loved him and trusted him. Later on he had an idea to build a city out of a tollway stop-over for GI’s on the way to the airport. That kid’s name was Don Stephens, and the city he invented was Rosemont. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And there isn’t even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in that town!

And one MORE thing I’ll tell ya, Senator Oberweis, is that, that, things WILL be different, and BETter for the Party now, I can assure you, ‘cuz we really SHOULD’nt always be SOOO strident, I don’t want to say, ya know, strictly, oh–conSERvative maybe(?) on all of our positions all of the time–no offense, sir, but we MIGHT, just MIGHT once in awhile want to, ya know, consider a DIFferent way of approaching certain issues, or RAces for an important Office or Offices, ya know–and that that MIGHT help work out better that way sometimes, at least, YA know? I mean, I know you’re not responding to me here right now, Senator–you seem somewhat pensive, or maybe even a little upset, but… YA know what I mean, ya do…right…???
