“If you don’t take this picture, no one will believe it!” - Lady Gaga

Steph is really fitting in to many things Chicago. She’s quite an interesting person and not in the way many assume!

Lady Gaga with the man who inspired her hit song, “Born This Way”.

One who makes beautiful music with political overtones meets a political analyst and both jump into a freezing cold lake together? You can’t make this stuff up because nobody would believe it.

After greeting her, Paul gave her a report he wrote of her song lyrics, showing them corrected and with appropriate footnotes.

If it was Dick Simpson instead of Paul Green it would be “Goo-goo for Gaga.”

Green:”Lady Gaga? Are you from Downton Abbey?

Plunge ‘Em

* The Priceless Paul Green took the Polar Plunge for charity and it was a slam dunk for all

Upshot - The temperature was way up, providing no ice for the plungers.

Downshot - Mayor Emaunel was a “show but no dunk” this time.

Sideshot - Paul Green got a wonderful picture with part-time Chicagoan and Taylor Kinney finance Lady Gaga

Downshot - After the plunge, many warm whisky shots were had by all.

The Powerful Finance Committee Chairman Ed Burke and the irreplaceable Justice Anne Burke were having lunch nearby with Jay Doherty being over the moon about something.

Stay tuned.

One of them is a really weird person who I generally try to avoid and the other one is Lady Gaga.

Comment by The Captain Wednesday, Mar 9, 16 @ 9:18 am
Well you can tell Paul I can top him with a photo I have of Lowell Culver with Boy George.

“never see in the same sentence: Paul Green and Lady Gaga…” How about the same Picture?
(I can’t do underline or italics on here-how come?

Caption: Green “This isn’t an afterlife dream? I didn’t freeze to death and go to Heaven?”

Paul’s ringtone used to be Shania Twain, but perhaps he’s updated it.
