Idiots.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Illinois is in a bad mess. They have a moron for a mayor in Chicago, and some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, yet they're killing each other like shooting rats at the city dump..

The new Republican governor is trying his best to undo the mess the outgoing democrat governor left, but he can't because the democrats keep blocking things, so now the state is technically bankrupt. The news article I read on the matter quoted someone in the government saying they were spending 100% of the tax intake as it came in, and it still wasn't enough..

GOT to get democrats out of public office...

That's not quite true, Larry.

Illinois has been a hot mess for a long time. The legislature in Springfield has been spending money, hand-over-fist for a lot longer than the terms of Rahm Emmanuel and recent governors. The likes of George Ryan and Hair-Boy contributed to the mess, but they, by no means, initiated.

The *real* power in Illinois is in the seat of the Speaker of the House, Mike Madigan, who's been there for decades.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
As near as I can tell Rahm has been busting his ass trying to fix things and taking some necessary but unpopular steps. Have to give him at least grudging respect for that.

Apparently the powerball lotto folks kicked Illinois out of the consortium.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.
