  16. In all seriousness, as a young, political staffer I once got a request to place a sign in a yard out in Barrington…where there was already a sign from our opponent.

    A man came outside and said, “No #$%%ing Dem signs in my yard!” A women, who I assumed to be his significant other, than came out quietly brought him back inside, and then after like a minute he came back out and very softly said to put it by the garden.

  39. “Cars”

    Here in my car
    I’m confused of it all
    I get looks from my friends
    But it’s how I want to vote
    So far

    Here in my car
    I can only receive
    Ads from Bruce and from Dick
    And I’m getting really sick
    In my car

    Here in my car
    One finger salutes from afar
    Some jerk keyed all my doors
    Then yelled, “Yo - Up Yours!”
    My car

    Here in my car
    I know I’ve started to think
    About leaving tonight
    But I don’t wanna fight
    About my car!

I’m a true blue independent, I’ve always liked Senator Durbin (I actually got to meet him where I work, at a university in Chicago. Nice guy.) But, I like Bruce Rauner, too. I think I saw the gentleman taking a picture of my car when I was stopped at a light yesterday morning, haha.

    Comment by Lunchbox Wednesday, Sep 24, 14 @ 2:55 pm
