* You may not know that Deputy House Majority Leader Lou Lang was on Jeopardy back in 1986 and won two rounds. Here’s a photo from his TV appearance…
How did I get that photo? Well, Rep. Marty Moylan somehow obtained video of Lang’s long-ago Jeopardy appearance (I suspect Russian involvement) and is planning to show it at a fundraiser he’s having Monday with Reps. Fran Hurley and Natalie Manley at the Illinois Credit Union League. I’m not in the habit of plugging fundraisers, but how could I pass up this one?

Well yes, Alex, Illinois has done a bad job of funding our pensions, but why would you blame me for that when I’m new and they’ve been underfunded for 100 years?

“Lou Lang was on Jeopardy back in 1986 and won two rounds.”
But Mr. Ferguson toppled him in the third round by sweeping the category ‘Japan US Relations’.
