Leader Durkin enters Hour 3 ensconced in a simulated world indistinguishable from ours except that he’s retained his dignity.

The new version of Romper Room with Leader Durkin as the host. “I see Proft, I see Staub, I see Ives, I see a lot of union workers all working against me”

Wait, wait, wait!!! You’re running the Proft simulator! I specifically said no Proft simulator!

Jim Durkin imagines himself being an effective leader. Fantasy is wonderful.

Is Governor Rauner’s disapproval rating any lower in virtual reality? It is fantasy, isn’t it?
Comment by Christopher Thursday, Nov 16, 17 @ 11:14 am
Is that Bruce’s latest adventure commercial where he dresses up as a rocket scientist?

The detail here is amazing! One question, how do I change the political setting from “Governor Owned Party” back to “Grand Old Party”?

Virtual reality is a crutch for people who can’t handle their virtual smoke.
