  3. And I’m sorry, but this is just ridiculous:

    “A Rauner spokeswoman last week declined to tell the Chicago Tribune which of the governor’s children was expecting. Rauner has four daughters and two sons.”

  10. LIFE just got a lot more fun, loving, caring, blessing, tiring….less sleep, but small price to pay for the best gift you’ve ever been given. Congrats

  16. Comgrtulations. “Grandma and Grandpa” is a definite promotion.

  17. That’s a Rauner I fully support

  18. So, either I have had too little or too much coffee, but for several beats I was thinking “Wait. Barton is Rauner’s son in law?” Mind. Blown.

    Now that rational thought has returned to my brain, congrats to the Rauners and to Barton’s family, separately.
