Well, Halloween was just last week. So I figure they are low on grocery staples and it is just a routine grocery run.

Well, what “costume” is the trash can van an “accessory” for? Maybe he’s just rollin’ out to get his license sticker renewed.

I’m surprised that heap is even allowed to be within the Winnetka city limits.
As to where 1.4% is going - unemployment office to sign up for benefits because he sure isn’t doing his job, so he may as well be unemployed.

Obviously completely impromptu as Gov. Wing-it has a staffer snap the photo so he can post it as soon as he gets done jamming to Van Halen’s Panama in in the trash can to nowhere

OW - any potential EIU sales will be strictly brokered through Reggie Phillips, future president of Oral Roberts East.

My suspicion is piqued by anyone driving a van with curtains.
Comment by Midstate Indy Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:21 pm
Those troopers aren’t “adventuring” Governor, they’re responding to a call about a creepy doofus driving aimlessly in a van with curtains on the windows.

It’s only appropriate that Phillips completes his selling out of Eastern with the brokered sell. What follow thru!
“Where’s he going?”
Meeting with Kass about spinning off “Madigan” with “Beat Writer”, the story of a mild-mannered shill who at the end, really made his career about everything he supposedly was against.

Indiana. Immediately across the state line, that van blends in just fine.

So does Rauner’s political agenda.

Going out to make some extra cash for the state by driving people around town… sort of a Governor’s Uber, or GUber.

HBO - “Dad’s Home State” - Season 2, Episode 51
Bruce hops into the prop van for Twitter picture, gets to the end of the driveway and runs out of gas. Diana begins planning the “End of Year” celebration at work, reassures everyone, gigglin, that there’s plenty of money for whatever she wants. Diana’s State Employee tries to schedule social service provider visits for Diana and Bruce. Lance trolls Lou Lang’s Cubs congratulatory tweets, “ck” writes emails newspaper Editorial Boards with Wednesday election results spin, Goldberg writes a letter to AAA Roadside Service. Comedy, 65 minutes.
Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 1:49 pm
GOTV in the QC. The kicker is that he’s taking D pluses to the polls, as he knows an HRC mid-term in 2018 is his best chance at re-elect.

It can’t be that unscheduled of a trip if you stop for a staffer to take a photo and post the photo of your “candid” moment.
Comment by siriusly Monday, Nov 7, 16 @ 2:12 pm
2018 campaign starts on Wednesday. Making sure the van still works.

With him driving the state,this song won’t stop playing in my head.
Well we know where we’re going
But we don’t know where we’ve been
And we know what we’re knowing
But we can’t say what we’ve seen
And we’re not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

His little bit about his “trash can van” is so obnoxious. He’s making fun of slumming it, which so many people have to do. He’s been rich his entire life. Never been a point since he’s been an adult that he couldn’t afford a luxury car. But HAHAHAHAHA trash can van! Just like the poors!

Out to bust a mystery. It wasn’t a monster that’s been scaring off Illinois businesses, it was that Old Man Madigan in a monster suit trying to keep businesses at bay so he could profit with his law practice!
