It took a lot of dough to make this cookie.
A lot of dough… forget it.

Upon further review, she put Kaskaskia where St Louis is. No points awarded.

She had one commemorating the cannabis bill too but it was half baked.

Great cake for a few chuckles! Never mind those who aren’t laughing.

I mean, I’m enjoying this, and it’s fun, and it looks tasty, and even though I wasn’t invited… it looks like Kendall County has *three* different colors of frosting covering it.
I find this appalling, indefensible, and truly an attack on all things Kendall County.
I can live with the map if I must, but this cookie has me up in arms.

You have to be very creative to bake up a new map in Illinois.
Comment by Mama Thursday, May 27, 21 @ 2:50 pm
House GOP has issued a statement complaining that this appears to a half-baked creation that Democrats cooked up behind closed doors. They also decried the cake’s lack of transparency because the crust keeps the public from knowing whether the inside is yellow or chocolate. Republicans warned that the cake should be rejected because it may, in fact, be Devil’s Food.
Comment by SouthSide Markie Thursday, May 27, 21 @ 2:56 pm
The areas without frosting are reserved for Eastern Bloc types. #OutOfStateOutOfBounds

A mess no matter how you frost it.

Did somebody get into the ’shrooms?? Looks like Peter Max frosted it. I mean, far out redistricting map, man. Groovy.

The frosting has less GOP incumbents facing off against each other than the other map… think on that HGOP
