LEGISLATIVE VACANCY DERBY: THE BIGGEST LOSER

If you're one of the handful of people who hasn't yet heard. There's soon going to be a vacancy in the State Legislature from this area. Names are flying about but I haven't heard anybody identify the person with the most to lose in the whole exercise.

Listen closely: That huge sucking sound is money and volunteers zipping from the Jon McCoy campaign into defending what could have been a safe seat for two more terms.

Whoever runs for that legislative office this time is gonna be "flavor of the month" for Repubs. The traditional givers would rather have the ear of a legislator than a Sheriff. To be sure, Jon's got his own cadre of friendlies but this is going to hurt him.

There's not a dime's worth of difference in us in General Elections and most principles. We just got on opposite sides of one primary. It happens.

You're welcome here anytime.

I recall those days when Government WORKED !

A few aldermen or woman we for spot zoning and a rational call to Sparky would get them a "visit" .

Sparky moved for the RIGHT cause. Sparky had long range vision with the biggest bowl of HUMBLE to go with it.

Plow the roads, make the city guys TRY and work a min of a 1/4 of his speed and then GET council votes.


Sparky a man a myth a legend !


Kenny is a good Spark Jr though !

Question does being non-human disqualify one from running for this office ?

Because I say we both literally run shit house rats vs each other. It would be the year of shits and giggles and a SNAFU -- we're the belly buttton of IL and used to biting a pillow.


Maybe Springfield would notice a true rodent there in a cage and they might give us a WEE bit of respect due.


Or we could run hunting dogs if their lobby was better , I just feel a shit house rat is by far more funny

Well, then we'd know who to put behind the horses in the parades.

Maybe the 4h could add a Rat-Judging Contest to the LiveStock events at the ACF.

I'm afraid there might be an overreaction though and heavy movement to turn them into guest workers.

Thanks for stopping by, I think.

You know it's bad when ACYR's are actually looking into if we could run a rodent or a dog for an elected office !

Either it is boredom or just an endeaver in " lets see if this works" .

Like a 13 yr old + m80 + a mean old lady's mail box



Some times you got to just blow something up for sh*ts and giggles.

I would pay great money to watch a debate with a real canidate vs a rodent in cage !

Now that is the American way & funny to boot


$5 the rodent could win in some exit polls

Maybe it's because it's May and we have the "Frozen Tundra" out there, but it's getting very squirrelly in here (Yes, I know they're rodents.)

I keep looking for Brother Blutarsky in here anytime now. This whole Blog is on double secret probation.
