Not sure what we’re going to get for comments today, but keep it Illinois-centric and be kind to each other. Thanks.

  1. If the whole legislator thing doesn’t pan out, a sound effects tech on a film or TV could be in the cards.

    “Ding”

  2. Okay, that was fun. He’s got a great sense of humor.

  3. “ It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that ding
    (Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)
    (Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)”

  4. The head-snap from the staffer on the left at the end really encapsulates the response I had in person myself. Too funny.

  5. That was truly funny.

    It’s an absolutely gorgeous day in Chicago today, sunny and warm. Lightfoot is going to have her hands full keeping people off the lakefront and making sure they keep their distance in the parks, on the 606, etc.

  6. Years from now we will be treated to the John Amdor social media post where he looks back at the transcripts of the 2020 Covid-19 special session and reminds us of the time Leader Davis said: “DING”

  7. Do they have boxing matches at the convention center? Maybe they could just use that bell?

  8. Funny. Reminds me of the end of Rocky III.

  9. An especially appropriate musical selection for these times. https://youtu.be/hlKNMBfYIe8 Thanks Rich, for the yeomans work you put in to keep us all informed.

  10. Somebody needs to use autotuner to make a little song out of that “ding”. Maybe “Carol of the Bells” for Christmas?
