* Cal Skinner…
Watching State Rep. Allen Skillicorn’s disengagement from the Illinois political stage over the last couple of months puzzled me.
His tweets are most likely to be able national politics than that of Illinois.
He did not show up at the Algonquin-Grafton Township fundraiser on Monday.
The two townships contain a majority of Republican primary voters.
Now comes a report that Skillicorn is leaving Illinois after his term expires in January, that he tried to withdraw his name from the ballot last Friday.
Subscribers know more, but lots of people have been trying to reach Skillicorn lately to find out what he intends to do and when he intends to do it. I mean, there’s only like 82 days until the election is over.

“I’m leaving Illinois because it’s too much big government ruining people’s lives! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go join a big government agency and watch as they ruin some lives.”

“Never get out of the boat. Absolutely right. Unless you were goin’ all the way. Skillicorn got off the boat. He split from the whole program.”

Why Mexico wants a wall.

I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn’t even know it yet. Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river that snaked through the minds of Trumpkins like a main circuit cable plugged straight into the President. It was no accident that I got to be the caretaker of the Hateful Eight memory any more than deciding to sell my home in East Dundee and moving was an accident. There is no way to tell our story without telling my own. And if our story really is a confession, then so is mine.

Boat Captain: My orders say I’m not supposed to know where I’m taking this boat, so I don’t… But one look at you, and I know it’s gonna be hot
Skillicorn: We’re going up river about 75 klicks below the last part of the completed wall.
Captain: That’s Baja, Allen.
Skillicorn: That’s classified. We’re not supposed to be in Baja, but that’s where I’m going. I need a selfie than an Instagram post to troll people.

Sir, Mexico says that you are banned from coming in. No Sir, we will not give you a lift so you can sneak in. No Sir, just because people dont like you doesn’t make you qualified for Political Asylum. Yes Sir you have to stay on this side of the river. Sir, you dont have to go back to IL, but you do have to go. We dont care where as long as you go.

“Show me the way to go home,
I’m tired and I want to go to bed,
Cos I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it’s gone right to me head,
No matter where I roam,
On land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.“
