Question of the day

Posted in:

Illinois

* I’ve been stumped on a question today, so I came up with this: How about you use the comments to send a Valentine’s Day greeting to your favorite prominent Illinoisan?

To my favorite prominent Illinoisian, Rich Miller,

Roses are red. Violets are blue.
When you take off for a state holiday,
I go boo-hoo.

I also vote for Rich Miller. No other media outlet keeps me more informed.

Dear Javy Baez, lay off the breaking stuff outside and in the dirt.

Agree. To Oscar, happy Valentines day to you.

To the Brave 15 and the Perfect 10, I (heart) you.

Rich… Sam/Frank.

To all freshmen legislators in the 101st GA,

How you choose to be seen is your choice and how you want to be seen. Be loved for being true to yourself and good governing.

Dear Chicago Tribune Editorial Board,

Bill Daley? Really? Do you even read your own newspaper?

With all my love,
47th Ward

To the ILGOP,

Open your heart and more love for you will happen

Close your heart and less opportunity for love will remain.

To my blue billionaire, Governor Pritzker:

Roses are red
Our debt makes us redder
How long will it be
Till things get better?

I’d like to send a valentine to Rep. Stava-Murray, but she’d probably forget about it right after receiving it and ignore it to focus on the next big holiday.

Dearest Donald Finch,

Roses are red. Violets are blue.

Sugar is sweet, and so are you.

Dear Rod Blagojevich,
Oh how I long for thee
at least your corruption
was slightly entertaining.

To the current Chair of the Illinois Workers’ Compensation Commission: Love you!

Dear First Lady M.K.,
I hope you enjoy your first Valentines Day as the First Lady of Illinois. Tell the Gov to get you something nice and to pass recreational MJ soon!

Voice like an angel,
Face to match.
If I were younger,
She’d be quite a catch!

Happy Valentine’s Day, Alison Krauss.

From Danny Solis to all:

You used to call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my approval,

Call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my approval,

And I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing,
I know when that hotline bling,
The feds hear everything

Beard and deep set eyes
Lanky and tall, you walk miles
Returning pennies.

To Abraham Lincoln:

Things got kind of messy,
So here’s where we’re at:
Can you please tell us
If this is your hat?

Dear Governor,
Words cannot express how much I LOVE
that you are not Bruce Rauner!
xoxo

Happy Valentines Day Rich! Hugs to you and Oscar.

Comment by Rich’s Mom Thursday, Feb 14, 19 @ 5:22 pm
To Mrs. Blue,
51 years of happiness.
You deserved better.
I will keep on trying
And you will keep on forgiving.
Love

To the Speaker’s legal staff, I hope he lets you come home soon for Valentine’s dinner.

Comment by Duopoly Thursday, Feb 14, 19 @ 5:36 pm
Roses are red
Dog doots are browner
JB’s an unknown
But at least he’s not Rauner.

Comment by Excessively Rabid Thursday, Feb 14, 19 @ 5:39 pm
I sent these Rauner-tines to Rich last year and am glad I finally have the opportunity to use them:

@lester holt’s moustache

I moustache you a question: won’t you be my capitol fax valentine?

The budget is red,
The assembly is blue,

The hammer is velvet,
When the votes are through.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Speaker.

Roses are red
