Steep speaking fee these days if you are asking for naming rights to the venue.

‘Looking for a few crumbs for EIU’

I always loved that cartoon, but it needs to be updated to include Oscar.

Rich stopped by Marty’s to see if the $10 spot I taped to the bottom of the first booth on the right is still there…1st pitcher on me. GO EIU

Miller invited to Buzzard Hall…Hmmm.

Comment by A guy Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 2:37 pm
Rich Miller is not your typical hard-nosed journalist. As you can see from the image, he’s not hard-nosed, he’s hard-headed.

“Looking for an honest legislator.”

“Rich Miller, in this vintage moment, looks for Tom Cross, who was golfing that day”

Rich Miller … infiltrating the Eastern Bloc.

“Where is that pesky cornerstone?”

Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:01 pm
No recording devices under here…

Comment by OneMan Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:02 pm
Rich,
I’m incredibly disappointed. This hardly gives us enough time to put together a proper protest.

Comment by Downstate Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:06 pm
If you get there early stop by Marty’s but be carefull, I missed many afternoon classes that way.

Comment by Jerry Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:09 pm
Wow, there is a costume storage room.

Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:09 pm
Look, there’s an honest legislator. Nope, sorry that’s just an old apple core.

Comment by Bruce( no not him) Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:11 pm
“Making the sausage, I see…”

Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:12 pm
“Nothing to see here. Move along.”

Shaking up the Capitol.

Comment by Henry Francis Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:21 pm
That’s right, leave work early so you can go to your own event. And any change found under the Capitol is mine. (smile)

Comment by revvedup Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:22 pm
I am sure you will be awesome

Comment by truthteller Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:25 pm
The event is free, but contributions to help us keep the lights on are gratefully accepted.

===you will be awesome ===

I dunno. I’m reading my speech right now and it badly needs punching up. lol

Comment by Rich Miller Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:35 pm
It ain’t heavy, it’s my capitol.

Comment by lake county democrat Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:40 pm
Rich Miller, going where no Illinois political reporter has gone before …

“Hey Bruce-this is how you shake up the Capitol”

Comment by Anonymous Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:47 pm
Someone at the speech is sure to ask Rich what those dark round things are that he seems to be intently sniffing.

Comment by Responsa Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:48 pm
This is the biggest thing to happen in Charleston since Lincoln debated Douglas.

Comment by 47th Ward Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:53 pm
This is how to “punch it up”: At the end of his speech Rich rips open his shirt and reveals he’s wearing a wire. That should be good for a few chuckles.

Comment by Responsa Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:57 pm
===Miller invited to Buzzard Hall===
Like the converse of the Buzzards returning to Hinckley.

Comment by someonehastosayit Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 4:00 pm

Certain it will be live streamed…anybody got the grid coordinates? Password? Carbon paper?
