I heard Lieutenant Governor Stratton on several satellite radio stations last week talking up the DNC Convention. She did a great job. She also pointed out that if Harris/Walz win, the Governorship of Minnesota will go to its Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, making her the first Native American Governor in the history of these United States.

I came into work downtown today and the Kennedy Expressway express lanes, which have been closed for repairs this summer, have magically been re-opened. But you can only use them if you’re a politician coming in from O’Hare and there is heavy Illinois State Police presence at the various express lane gates.
