    Well at least he got is prison time out of the way before he was in office, unlike most Illinois politicians.

    Considering, let's see, three former governors of Illinois served jail time (after their stint as governor by the way), I would say this individual has a lot of potential and a tremendous future ahead of him.

    So it's your theory Robin Kelly is a Bloomberg stooge?

    It's my theory that when the Roberts court did the happy dance when it decided Citizens United, the New York City mayor financing pro-gun control Congressional candidates in Chicago was probably not what it had in mind.

    So we'll just have political threads pop up at random now because they're "too good?" Nope. Merging before we have a full page of them.

    Dick I see your point but it's a bad precedent for the MODS to allow. Your interpretation might be "comedy" but someone else might think "politics". It's a pandora's box.

    "Paul McKinley" now on the list that I keep over my desk, along with "Josh Hamilton," entitled, "Threads I'm Not Allowed to Start."
