If this knothead gets re-elected, that will be my cue to seriously start looking to leave the state.

i can't even deal with this anymore. please someone just write me on the 20th and tell me where the hell to get off on the red line: Doomsday no? Addison, Doomsday yes? Belmont.

thank you.


i have enough stress going on otherwise that i had to toss something out that i was obsessing over - transit was the thing that got the boot.


ETA: is it possible to just call his office and say "are you REALLY that retarded?" and hang up? would that be effective?
I can call his house and say that. lol

Well there should be a one-term limit for folks like that, but the fact that he's serving a second term shows that it's impossible to underestimate Illinois voters...

Ideally a no term limit for the both of them. I wrote in George Ryan in the last election.

It should be apparent to all now "the machine" is no longer dead. In fact, it never died.
