| Centuries ago, the French made head-lopping an art form and sometimes picked up the head and slapped it to make sure. So some political suck-up may stoop to seize Dead Meat's bouffant scalp and slap the face to the amusement of the howling mob and the righteous Illinois politicians who judge him. I remember reading once that one of the French severed heads winced after such a slap, in days of yore, when men wore tights and curly toed boots. But these are modern times, so this is what I figure will happen. The second Blago's head falls with a thunk to the floor, they'll install clueless Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn as governor. House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Lisa's Dad) will push through a whopping state income tax increase, with the liberal Quinn as the frontman. If I've said it once, I've said it hundreds of times: The money quote: Every time a tax is raised, a liberal gets his wings. Then they'll dump Quinn and elect Madigan's daughter, Lisa, as the next governor, and she'll have money to spend and secure herself as a power. And the voters? Illinois politicians treat voters neither as humans nor dancers. To them, we're dairy cows. We chew the grass. They milk us dry. We moo every election cycle. |
