I wish everyday was Friday, but I’m not ready for 2108. Maybe it IS time for “The Purge”.

The Governor’s crew is doing a bang up job honoring his time in office… our state’s Bicentennial, not so much.

Friday, Friday, so good to me
Friday mornin´, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Friday mornin´, Friday mornin´ couldn´t guarantee
That Friday evenin´ you would still be here with me
Friday, Friday, can´t trust that day
Friday, Friday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Friday mornin´ you gave me no warnin´ of what was to be
Oh Friday, Friday, how could you leave and not take me
Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Friday comes, but whenever Friday comes
A-you can find me cryin´ all of the time
Friday, Friday, so good to me
Friday mornin´, it was all I hoped it would be
But Friday mornin´, Friday mornin´ couldn´t guarantee
That Friday evenin´ you would still be here with me

Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Aug 10, 18 @ 3:38 pm
I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s gray and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don’t care about you
It’s Friday
I’m incompetent.

To be fair, all the proofreaders were busy with the Governor’s Mansion.

Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Aug 10, 18 @ 3:57 pm
Hey, Aug 10 and Aug 17 are Fridays. That’s 2 out of 10. And they are all spelled right. The font looks nice though….must be Madigan.

Proof readers???
I’m wondering how the guys in the Press room missed it!!
Comment by WhoKnew Friday, Aug 10, 18 @ 4:08 pm
There’s also “dualing” instead of “dueling,” “Ashely McBride” instead of “Ashley McBryde” …. my brain hurts.
Comment by IllinoisBoi Friday, Aug 10, 18 @ 4:24 pm
This stuff for the first Fair is just a pre-run for our second Fair … where we will figure out newer dumb ways to be incompetently silly with money and talent
Comment by I Miss Bentohs Friday, Aug 10, 18 @ 4:26 pm
Maybe it’s supposed to be a “Highlights” edition where you have to find all the mistakes;)
Comment by Anon221 Friday, Aug 10, 18 @ 4:27 pm
Like Rauner, the rest of his administration seems to be phoning it in, just waiting to move on come January. Too bad they can’t all retire to Italy.

Who said there were no corporate sponsors for the State Fair… TGI Friday’s has the stealth sponsorship.
Comment by SAP Friday, Aug 10, 18 @ 4:48 pm
Yay Friday. Yay.
Comment by Molly Maguire Friday, Aug 10, 18 @ 4:57 pm
Maybe in the year 2108 [ sic ] every day will be Friday [ sic ]. What’s next? Governor Rauner says he wants to be in charge of Ilernois?
