* My old buddy Lance Trover is a major Parrothead, so he proudly texted this photo of himself and Jimmy Buffett last night after running into the living legend at Shaw’s Crab House…

Lance is a spokesman for Bruce Rauner’s campaign. I asked him if he told Buffett who he worked for…

Haha. Left that part out.

   Looking for my lost jacket and watch

   Some people say there is a Madigan to blame

   But, really, it’s my own *&%^ fault

6. Politics isn’t served in Margaritaville.

   “Jimmy, if you can have a ‘Margaritaville’ we can have a Madiganistan.”

    He touched a Rauner campaign worker, can’t listen to any of them now one guy from Oswego said…

12. ===He touched a Rauner campaign worker, can’t listen to any of them now one guy from Oswego said…===

    Notice Lance didn’t tell Buffett he worked for Rauner?

    Just sayin’, lol

    Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 9:34 am

13. “Caption?”

    Jimmy Buffett, after a “session” with some fans, takes a picture with “World’s Sexiest Man” Adam Levine…or so thought Buffett.

14. Rauner on his campaign:

    “Made enough money to buy Miami, but I pi***d it away so fast. Never meant to last. Never meant to last.”

15. Good to see George Shadid is still around.

    Comment by Give Me A Break Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 9:45 am

16. JB might have more money than Rauner. Those parrotheads pay off like clockwork, year after year.

    Truly a philosopher-king, who puts forth the immortal question: “Why don’t we get drunk and screw?”

    Why indeed.

    Comment by wordslinger Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 9:47 am

17. Buffett: I’ve been here 20 minutes and can’t get a drink and now the dishwasher wants a photo. Never coming back.

    Comment by Rich Miller Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 9:47 am

18. Changes in Latitudes
    The Pols Speak in Platitudes
    Illinois Remains Quite the Same
    With These Guys Who Are Running
    With All of Their Cunning
    If We Couldn’t Laugh
    We Would All Go Insane

21. Holy crap he’s gotten old…which I guess means so have we.

    Comment by Chicago Cynic Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 9:56 am

22. Give Me a Break — Good line about Shadid.

    Reminded me of the late Ross Elliott’s joke:

    “George Shadid’s nose is so big, he’s still breathing yesterday’s air.”

    Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 9:57 am

23. Buffet: I heard the panhandlers in Chicago were aggressive, but I didn’t know they followed you into the restaurant.

30. Fruitcakes holding hearings

    Fruitcakes on Randolph Street

    Saying #NRI can’t be beat

    Half-baked theories in the oven

    Comment by Anon Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 10:13 am

32. Lance proudly stands next to Rauner’s key demographic, rich old white men.

    Comment by Yipperdo Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 10:17 am

33. Sure I know your boss, he let me land my plane at one of his islands last year.

    Comment by gopher Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 10:19 am

34. Jimmy looks happy. Seriously, if he had casually walked into a restaurant or store where I was and he was without an entourage I would not have recognized it was Buffett.

37. Lance Trover and Jimmy Buffett are all smiles after intense negotiations which led to an agreement that all future Chicago concerts will be moved from Tinley Park to either Toyota Park or Wrigley Field. As part of the deal, brokered over various types of booze from a blender, additional tour stops will be made in Champaign and Vienna Illinois.

38. Nothin’. I got nothin’ on this one. Sorry.

    Comment by A guy... Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 10:53 am

39. Gov. Pat Quinn poses for a photo with Oliver T. Pennysworth, a Rauner operative, at a high end seafood house yesterday afternoon.

    “When you see food, you eat it,” opined Quinn. “Food is bipartisan. Both Democrats and Republicans have to consume it to survive.”

    Comment by Mittuns Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 11:01 am

40. Is this the beginning of a potheads for Rauner movement?

    Comment by Keyser Soze Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 11:37 am

    I did a spit take on this one and almost sprayed my lunch guests! Too funny! Did you ever notice George looks a lot like Larry David?

    Comment by Old and In the Way Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 3:24 pm

49. When asked what they discussed, Lance laughed and said “That’s a great question. I’ll discuss that in due time. I’ll be outlining it for you in the coming weeks.”

    Comment by Reptar Monday, Jul 21, 14 @ 3:46 pm

50. –Pour me something tall and strong;

    it’s only mid-July, but I don’t care.–

    LOL, I’m Outlaw/Bakersfield country, but coming from a hat act, that’s a fun little ditty.

    I used to work for a company that the Great Gretzky had a piece of (best team sport athlete of his day). Wayno would come in the office in the morning while we were having coffee, crack a Molson, and say “it’s noon somewhere, eh?”
