* I really hate people sometimes…


The Governor’s daughter is not in this picture. Stop using children as pawns in dangerous conspiracies. I’d say let’s have some decency, but that seems in short supply with some lately. Wear a mask, keep your distance & don’t lie. Thanks. pic.twitter.com/5RKgmAPTf4

Keep it local and be polite to each other. That doesn’t mean you have to be polite to goofs like that tweeter, however.

  1. The arrest happened in February in Arizona, but only a week after his hiring by the Sox and LaRussa is now charged with a DUI:

    He had a DUI in 2007 in Florida, while Cardinals’ manager.

  2. It’s creepy and dangerous to seemingly be looking for and photographing members of Illinois’ First Family, no matter if it was this governor, or any of our past governors, while in office, looking at the children of our governor.

    The decency, and lack of respect, that is missing here, it would’ve bothered me the same if it were Governor Rauner’s children in a tweet, Governors Blagojevich’s daughters, Governor Edgar’s children too.

    The choices of a Governor, the things that a governor does, the scrutiny holds, be it a quote, action, historic choice or decision, all fair game within the context of those things, but a tweet, picture, scrutiny here, it’s wholly unacceptable, and lacks decency.

  3. In the piece on IDES on channel 20, WICS Springfield, they stated that IDES has a 40% fraudulent claim rate. Yet the IDES Director seemed to be blaming the fraud victims for the problem. Although IDES had a breech earlier this year and of course there was the Equifax breech.

  5. LaRussa’s 2007 DUI while with the Cardinals was also the same year his team lost pitcher Josh Hancock to a drunken-driving accident in St. Louis on Apr. 29, 2007.

  6. Does anyone know what was in the (10/30) letter from officers regarding the Mokena police chief? The Daily Southtown/Trib was mum on the topic.

  7. Some of these people need to find another hobby…harassing children seems akin to stalking…only sleazier.

  8. If, and only if, the governors offspring decide to get into public life, then photograph them. His children didn’t stump for him/ the obligatory family ad or photo doesn’t count.
    Even if she is attending horse shows, she’s certainly not doing anything different than everyone else’s offspring( sports, unofficial homecoming parties, etc). I saw lots of complaints on social media when the name of attendees of an unofficial homecoming party were published.

  9. Richard DeLisi, the country’s longest serving nonviolent cannabis offender is set to be released next month after serving 31 years of a 90 year sentence.

  10. Surprised that Tony LaRussa wouldn’t use a car service after a night of drinking in Scottsdale. It’s a miracle that at 76 he has a full head of brown hair.
    Think Renteria, Harry Caray and Eddie Burke. White caps are cool.

  11. “It’s a miracle that at 76 he has a full head of brown hair.” It’s amazing what comes out of a plastic bottle these days.

    What a piece of… work that guy is. He needs to be fired immediately, if only for his own good. He obviously has some major problems.
