39. All the places where rauner has looked for his missing g.

    All the places that have more g’s than they know what to do with.

50. He should invite the four tops along on all these trips; maybe they could discuss the budget during all that time traveling… (Would be interesting to see Madigan in some outdoor clothes: probably wouldn’t be Carharts, but there are other, better, brands out there)

    Comment by Triple fat Wednesday, Jan 13, 16 @ 12:28 pm

55. From “Governor’s Travels,” by Jonathan Swift:

    “Rauner professed both to abominate and despise all mystery, refinement,
    and intrigue, either in a prince or a minister. He confined the knowledge
    of governing within very narrow bounds, to his common sense and reason, to
    his justice and lenity, to the speedy determination of civil and criminal
    causes, and the dissolution of unions.”

    “In relating these and the following laws, I would only be understood to
    mean the original institutions, and not the most scandalous corruptions,
    into which these people are fallen by the degenerate nature of man. For,
    as to that infamous practice of acquiring great employments by dancing
    on the ropes, or badges of favour and distinction by leaping over sticks
    and creeping under them, the reader is to observe, that they were first
    introduced by the Speaker of the House now reigning, and grew to the
    present height by the gradual increase of party and faction.”
