* At today’s bill signing to expand the use of our state’s medical marijuana “pilot program” we have Rep. Kelly Cassidy, the mother of marijuana legalization, and Gov. Bruce Rauner, who staunchly opposes legalizing recreational use…
No body language there.

Cassidy: Was that so hard?
Rauner: I’m cool now, right? This makes up for 4 years of having Shah jam up the courts with needless appeals of qualifying conditions, right?
C: Enjoy Europe.

Like all legendarily great comedy teams, Cassidy and Rauner were distant, rarely speaking unless on stage, with a coldness that changed once the lights went up.

Mr. Burns: Yes! That’s the kind of moxie I’m looking for! You’re hired!

Bruce is trying to avoid Kelly’s glare for not wearing green at the signing. In his defense, Bruce thought his hemp belt buckle was sufficient
Comment by Jocko Tuesday, Aug 28, 18 @ 4:05 pm
Even Rauner’s belt buckle indicates that we should side with Cassidy.
