A Democrat and a Republican walk into the bathroom. As they finish their business, the Republican starts to wash his hands while the Democrat heads for the door to leave.
“In the Republican Party, we teach our members to wash their hands afterward,” says the GOP Rep.
“Oh yeah,” replies the Dem. “In the Democratic Party we learned not to &%$$ on our hands.”

They have automatic toilet paper dispensers in the women’s restroom?
Comment by BIG R. Ph. Thursday, May 25, 17 @ 3:45 pm
That’s better than many State office buildings where they don’t even get paper towels.
Comment by RalphSchwartz Thursday, May 25, 17 @ 3:45 pm
Why fix a problem when you can tweet about it?
Comment by ROGue Roni Thursday, May 25, 17 @ 3:47 pm
When you’re done reading that would you let us have it please? We don’t get paper towels at Churchill.
Comment by Puddintaine Thursday, May 25, 17 @ 3:48 pm
Metaphor for Gov. Rauner who is just a helpless victim, too, unable to do anything to fix the state’s problems.
Alt caption for tweet: Rather than talk to a maintenance employee to bring the malfunction to the attention of someone who can fix it, instead I’ll just tweet some snark. #notmyproblem

I had no idea there was a video of Rauner’s responses during his lie detector questioning.

Another fantastic automation job by DoIT!

That’s the school funding checks Rauner keeps claiming he sent.

Like the capitol, once people see the condition it’s in, people turn around and decide to hold it.

That’s a commercial about Chris Kennedy’s position on - sadly, everything.

If that’s toilet paper, that’s a mighty big wipe

1. A new definition of a roll call.
2. This just in: Hannah Meisel has confirmed that the State of Illinois finally is throwing in the towel.
3. Now revealed: the secret place where the Rules Committee actually sends bills.
4. Check the flip side: actually, it’s a printout from Mendoza’s office. Of unpaid bills. From this past half hour.
5. Mr. Speaker, I assure you. There is no malware in any of our automatic shredders. All of your memos are reduced to atoms! And for extra protection, we flush everything down the women’s toilets in the basement!
I’m outta here.

The work I do every day as a public employee of the State of Illinois until the body politic accepts they need to raise enough revenue to pay their bills and invest in their future.
