No, you need to talk to Governor Rauner, see I’m Biker Rauner. Not to be confused with Farmer Rauner or Wood Worker Rauner or Trash Can Van Rauner etc…

Comment by Gruntled University Employee Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 3:22 pm
I know this isn’t Stolen Valor, but it still just looks wrong.

And not because he’s a dork;

Because he appears to be impersonating a biker/vet.

Now, you know it’s up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or… well, like Bruce, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.

Comment by Oswego Willy Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 4:44 pm
I have a serious question. Assuming Bruce loses the election to JB - on innaguration day does JB walk up to Bruce, take out his big Bowie knife and cut the “Governor” patch off the vest?

What will he do with Bruce’s tats?

Comment by Henry Francis Monday, Jun 11, 18 @ 4:47 pm
I actually think I deserve another medal for staying up all night pourin’ and reasealin’ Chateau de Pape into these Old Style cans.
