You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don’t you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?!

“We are fighting for the states future.”
Who are? You and the Hell’s Angels? If what you have provided so far is “fighting for the future,” than it is not the future I want. At this rate, does this state have a future?

I’m serious, I got all the motorcycle owners votes.
On a side note, seriously, Governor Rauner, is this the best you can do for the residents of Illinois, go out and dress up for Halloween?
Sheesh!

Comment by chi Monday, Apr 18, 16 @ 3:41 pm
I notice that the Governor’s vest includes a POW-MIA patch, which leads me to wonder, Is BVR a POW or is he MIA? Meaning, Is he just a prisoner of the war with Madigan, or is he missing in action as Governor?
