Eyewitness Daffy was heard to exclaim “Totally Despicable.”

I believe this story may be a base canard.

Also, I believe I have standing to denounce — yes, denounce — Rich for hypocrisy. We have to be Illinois-centric, yet he can wander the far reaches of the interwebs to delight in Iowa poultry. Unfair. UNFAIR.

A lesson for sour dough experimenters.

Both Channel 20 (last night) and the SJ-R are both in mourning over the possibility of no State Fair this year. Already stories about the economic fallout of no State Fair this year:

There was a fire earlier this morning at the Club Station House bar (and upstairs apartments) in Springfield. Across from the Amtrak station.
That is the site that last year Langfelder was targeting for demolition (along with the dilapidated city parking deck) for a proposed hotel:

They’ve got yeast in Iowa? Yet another reason that we need to lift this stay at home order.

Here’s duck sauce in your eye

That’s some reaction to a yeast infection.

It will be interesting to see the occurrences of such incidents across the nation since businesses may not be able to collect insurance for lost income. Not indicating this is a planned incident, but there could be such in the future for those who feel as though they’ve lost everything otherwise. Other crime increases may become prevalent too.

Isn’t this just ducky.

That was the weirdest accident of all time, or some jealous competitor got away with … murrrrderrrrr. Eider way, I’m down with the nod to history.

It was a dastardly deed(banned punctuation). Rhadamanthus was killed by Rollo Rollins…

“Isn’t this just ducky.” Do they suspect fowl play?
Comment by Skeptic Friday, May 8, 20 @ 9:44 am
All the yeast i consume is already expended in the form of beer. I am unfortunately also in danger of exploding.

“Isn’t this just ducky” & “dithpicable”
Written by efudd - how loony tunes. I wonder if efudd had anything to do with this whole thing.

Haven’t been to the State Fair in a decade. Last time, it was obvious the under-funding / neglect of the Blagojevich / Filan / Quinn era had traduced it from the State Fair to the NEWT County Fair.

Not to be outdone by Mrs O’Leary’s cow, Iowa promotes its own animal husbandry tragedy.

“his duckship”
I love it. What a “loon” this writer is.
Comment by Ducky LaMoore Friday, May 8, 20 @ 10:22 am
Uh, is the story of the exploding Rhadamanthus (who was named, presumably, for one of the judges of the Underworld) some sort of a metaphor? What am I missing?
Feel like I’m getting off to a peckish start here.

Pritzker opens Illinois golf courses. Lightfoot shuts Chicago golf courses.
Go figure.

I apologize for this non-Illinois COVID-19 related post, but worth a share in light of the recent Kam Buckner situation.
In Birmingham, AL, an officer at a Walmart bodyslammed a customer for refusing to wear a mask:
