* Heh…


A voter answered the door today holding a bong, asked if I wanted a hit, I said no, then proceeded to yell at me about Mike Madigan.

Good point. I'll remember that next time a voter opens the door with a bong.

  1. Was this “voter” named Bruce?

  2. “But dude — you can’t spell ‘Michael J. Madigan’ without ‘M.J.’”

    “Whoa.”

  4. A common cannibus side effect is paranoia.

  7. ===then proceeded to yell at me about Mike Madigan.===

    That’s why they call it dope.

  8. Hey man. The dude abides.

  9. It’s possible he thought Max was a Jehovah’s Witness because most Democrats consider Michael J. Madigan as Jehovah of the General Assembly, and Rauner as a descendant of Swedish grandparents from the Kenosha Rambler assembly plant.

  10. When Jeanne Ives got done walking in the South Side Irish parade she stopped in a bar a few neighborhoods away. A couple of guys at the bar started giving her a hard time accusing her of being anti-union and pro Madigan. The power of TV ads is amazing on how effective they can be.
    I guess it got even uglier between them at the bar but that’s for a different story.

  11. Did he yell about not getting a clock as he slammed the door?

  12. Ding Dongs come in all flavors. One time I was out knocking on doors and encountered an anti-government mailman. Ding Dong identification and manipulation is what put Facebook & Cambridge Analytica on the cutting edge in 2016.

  13. Been there, are the two guys from the saloon going to be ok?

  14. Time to start packing Doritos with those Canvas bags.

    In the burbs, there’s a trend of people showing up at the door with a handful of funny looking gummy bears…Hmm.

    She is definitely anti-union, but not pro Madigan.
