Bittersweet chocolate.
It’s only good when baking or working in a recipe.
Otherwise… it’s dull, tasteless, and useless.

“Just a late Friday tweet to remind everyone, I’m me and you’re not!” #MisplacedVanity

Whenever I hear someone whining about social services funding, I reach for my M & M’s. Chocolate always helps me forget.

“Maybe everyone I’m trying to destroy should sell chocolate bars to stay in existence. The one that sells the most chocolate will get partial funding”

If you zoom in, it appears the governor is … signing an email?
And WTF is with the cake on the side table?
Just another hard day in governin in the governor’s office.
Hey Bruce, what’d you do at work today?
Governor: I signed some emails and ate M&Ms and cake.
Apparently his metabolism is the only thing higher than his hatred of unions.

Gov. Rauner proposes a new funding plan for contracted social service providers, unionized state workers, higher education and capital improvements (shown at left).

That moment when you realize that all M&Ms taste the same but you still prefer the ones in your favorite color.
Comment by 47th Ward Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:15 pm
I think I also see a brown M&M.
The governor’s contract explicitly and specifically says “NO BROWN M&Ms”
Someone’s gonna lose a job on a Friday.

At least he was smart enough to avoid Skittles or Tic Tacs.

#FridayFeeling?
Eastern might close next year… Chicago State too…
Social services closing left and right…
What a weasely way to govern… and celebrate…

Hey Lance, get rid of these. They all have “W” on them.

“Bruce has no social agenda, have some M&Ms” - Fake Diana Rauner…
… Maybe(?)

Pretendin’ to eat candy like a commoner, signin’ a pretend document,and overall, just pretendin’ to act like a governor.
Comment by Ole' Nelson Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:18 pm
There will be no actual work on this desk until higher education and social services are completely shaken out. Then I’ll have the budget hold so deep AFSCME will fall into the financial abyss. Did I just say that? Just the sugar buzz, people. We need reforms to help the state economy grow before anything else. I care about social services. For goodness’ sake, I just spent time on facebook talking about how I help breast cancer funding. Has anyone seen my Carhartt jacket?
Comment by Earnest Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:19 pm
I think we’re all surprised to see the governor cast a reflection in the desktop.
Comment by Michelle Flaherty Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:20 pm
I’m smiling all the way to the bank. These millions I’m spending to corrupt the down ballot elections are just pocket change to me.

“Governor Rauner therapeutically devours chocolates that share initials with his top adversary. It’s also why he drinks his coffee black.”

“Seriously, this list of accomplishments is way hard…..little help, somebody?”
Comment by wordslinger Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:21 pm
What rubes, I fooled them all and the GOP is my lapdog, just panting for my money.
Comment by Huh? Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:24 pm
Hi folks. Here’s your Friday riddle: Change the ampersand to a J and what do you get? Tee hee. Oh wait, I just ate one … ewww!

“Michael Madigan and the alliterative candy brands he controls.”
Comment by Cog Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:24 pm
Ummm … maybe we’d get more done if the governor’s phone was hooked up to something. This must have been the phone he used on election night.

“Don’the tell me I can’t have food in here, I purchased this office fair and square.”
Comment by Ole' Nelson Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:25 pm
Is his iPhone sitting on his Carhartt? Seriously. What is that?
Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:26 pm
You knew the photo was staged when you saw the governor holding a pen.
He doesn’t sign anything.

OK, send this Bradley memo back to Grassbowl with my changes.

“Ok… then what SHOULD be acceptable for Casual Friday?”
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:29 pm
2014 governor’s race: $36 million
2016 legislative race: $46 million
Screwing around on a Friday afternoon when everyone else is working? Priceless

This is exactly why if I could only choose one food to eat forever… it would be Cherry Pez…

When you’re giving out bonuses to workers for hard work and you tweet pictures showing you doing no work at all… #FridayFeeling
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:32 pm
When your not just mailing it in at work, you’re tweeting about mailing it in for everyone to see #FridayFeeling
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:33 pm
Because pretend work is really about the chocolate reward at the end #FridayFeeling
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:34 pm
Because when you’re out of props, you make up a phony picture to have a prop “work” in a picture #FridayFeeling

“Gimme something to do before I pretend I like the Cubs and sit with the Ricketts tonight… “
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Oct 28, 16 @ 4:38 pm
I pretend M&Ms are AFSCME members.
Look, all gone.
And my hands are clean.
