JBT: Well Pat we all know that you didn’t have the money so someone had to step up to the plate.

JBT
Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day:
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree:
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
PQ
It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east:
Night’s candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.

You like tomato and I like tomahto,
Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto!
Let’s call the whole thing off!

Meet Patrick, who’s stayed most everywhere,
From Red Roof Inns even in Logan Square.
While Judy’s Vans have seen the sights.
From Carbondale to Chicago Heights …
What a crazy pair!
But they’re cousins,
Identical cousins all the way.
One pair of matching bookends,
Different as night and day.
Where Patrick adores a Purple tie,
A Union Hall, and Manny’s Pie,
Our Judy loves the cats and dogs,
She’s even read Rich Miller’s Blog …
What a crazy pair!
Still, they’re cousins,
Identical cousins and you’ll find,
They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike …
You can lose your mind,
When cousins are two of a kind.

Is this the best we can do when seeking an honest politician?
Comment by soupperk Monday, Jan 23, 12 @ 3:02 pm
On November 13, Pat Quinn was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right, but he also knew that someday, he would return to her. With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the home of his childhood friend, Judy Baar Topinka. Sometime earlier, Topinka’s husband had thrown her out, requesting that she never return. Can two Illinois politicians share an apartment without driving each other crazy?

PQ-She was the one who did the Polka with George Ryan
JBT-Wait a minute, it was just one dance
Comment by Tough Guy Monday, Jan 23, 12 @ 6:58 pm
Quinn: Tell that lady in the beer garden that she can order all the Mai Tai’s she wants and I’ll pay for all of it at the end of the night.
Topinka: Oh no! Neither you or I is going to fall for that. He’s pulled that dine and dash nonsense at every other place in town. It’s only because the renovations took so long that you don’t know about it.

Fine. I’ll play the muse, but V-Man obviously has to chime in and “tweak” the lyrics. (And I know you’re “listening” V-Man. Come out come out wherever you are.)

It appears a few people think that together, they make quite the poetic couple.

JBT: I’ll never let go, Pat. I’ll never let go.
PQ: I have ten bucks in my pocket and won this ticket in a lucky hand of poker.
“Iceberg, right ahead!”
:::ship sinks, JBT gets on a boat, PQ relaxes in the bottom of the Atlantic:::
(almost forgot)
:::JBT throws the necklace into the ocean at the end:::
And that, my friends, is the dramatic interpretation of the 2014 election, told through the story of Titanic.

Pat Quinn ” Who cares about paying bills on time, it’s not my money anyway.”
Judy ” I know , I’ve got to pretend to be concerned. Pat, I think it’s funny when you keep talking about Chicago public education as an investment. I think you could be the CEO of Freddie Mac someday.”

Q) How many governors does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A) PQ, “The lightbulb, while not invented in Illinois, has been used to illuminate the state ever since Edison brought it here. Shining the light on our homes and businesses and making government more transparent. Like a lamp shade only better. As I travel around the state I feel fortunate that I can drive at night because of the lightbulb. I have been told there is one in my refrigerator that turns off when I shut the door. I hardly ever go in there so I can’t be sure. Now, when a lightbulb burns out it should be replaced. That’s not like fumigation, however. That requires the general assembly. Changing a lightbulb should not require so much effort but it is harder than you think. That’s why we need the whole state to come together, north/south, Chicago/downstate, rural/urban, democrat and republican, so long as the GOP does it my way.
A) JBT, “get outta my way, baldy and get me a step ladder”.
