You look skeptical, but I’m not b*ll-*****ing you! Those things made me as giddy as a little German girl - imitation leopard!

We tax shoes based upon how many toes each foot has. That’s a tax savings for cloven foot beasts like me!

You keep lyin’ when you oughta be truthin’
He’s keep losing when he oughta not bet
You keep samin’ when you oughta be a’changin’
Turnarounds alright, but we ain’t Kentucky yet
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep playing where you should have been paying
And you keep thinking that you’ll never get burnt (HAH)
Well, we elected a man with brand new box of matches (YEAH)
And Rauner doesn’t have time to learn
These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!

Mike Madigan : Yes, they grow up so fast.”

Rahm: “And if you’ve got a brogan here and a slip-on here, I say, why can’t these two walk together?”
Madigan: (What the heck is he talking about?)

All of these politicians showed up at a ribbon cutting for a lame shoestore. That’s sad.

Rahm,” Mike stand up”. Mike,” I am standing”. Rahm, “good, the Cubs are in, the Sox are out”.
Comment by pool boy Tuesday, Oct 6, 15 @ 2:57 pm
“Let us pray”
Only the Catholics know when to sit and when to stand. Rahm is working his way into the part where he tries to get them to kneel. The priest is standing by to give last rites if they do.

Madigan and Burke: this duo is responsible for the mediocrity
of the Cook County Judiciary. Chief Judge Evans cannot hide all the political hacks they put on the bench.
