If you drop this in a glass of water, it fizzes up and becomes chocolate milk and you can drink it. Honest!

Ow@3:18.widgets.? C’mon. I know we dont see eye to eye but…

Comment by Blue dog dem Wednesday, Feb 28, 18 @ 3:49 pm
There have been a few times I’ve seen the govenor, lieutenant govenor or their staff at private events and they are not wearing the same PPE as the employees.

What we always said in the safety business is if management doesn’t wear it then management/leadership at these facilities was poor.

Says something about the govenor and his staff I suppose.

Comment by Anon Wednesday, Feb 28, 18 @ 3:50 pm
Think Ives would freak if I tossed this away to the right?

That was supposed to be reading the mind of the young man who is on Rauner’s right.

“I cannot believe he found my chewable”

Comment by Eire17 Thursday, Mar 1, 18 @ 8:42 am
“Kid - “I wonder if he knows he’s holding petrified manure”- I like this one but would like to add “It is petrified manure from Madigan’s first day in office, he has been dumping manure on the citizens of Illinois ever since”

Comment by Stand Tall Thursday, Mar 1, 18 @ 9:02 am
