Thank you. Half my family and childhood friends are there. I know my people vote (how we were raised, yo), but I'm hearing more "I'm leaving Illinois" from people than "here's what I did to help get out the fucking vote." It'll be scorched earth.

I once saw Blago in the wilds of a Jewel-Osco lunchmeat section, after he was kicked out of office but before he went to jail. My only quasi-interaction with a governor.

I was so angry when Rauner won yesterday. Things about about to go from bad to worse in IL.

Dude, I feel your pain. I already feel like Chicago is a blue Oasis in a terrifyingly red part of the country, and this has me really worried about the future of our city and state. Yes, I know, Madigan is the guy who actually runs Illinois (I don't know if that's any real consolation) and the Democrats pretty much…

:( I'm so disappointed in Illinois today, too. The first results I saw this morning were YES minimum wage, YES birth control...and then Oh Shit, Rauner, SADFACEFOREVER.

The million dollar question.

Democrats are cowards, refused to own up to their great accomplishments and ran away from the President for the past four years.

It's also sad that in the second most populous county in the U.S. (Cook, IL), one that has more than 5 million people, only 1.25 million people voted (according to Politico's counts).

I FUCKING LOVE HUGS YES

like damn the only way this could be better is if they said evan peters dumped emma r and came out as saying he likes older, plus sized redheads with rabid and hysterical feminist leanings.

after most of a six-pack and a viewing of O Brother, Where Art Thou?, I got back in touch with the world to discover everything turning red. Time to remember the lessons of 2004—time to fight.

So pretty. I'd chastely kiss him on the cheek with my father watching any day (because we are priceless)!

Or at the very least a full-on frontal hug - you know, like the whores do.

Democrats > Ladies > Minorities

Oh yes! That is a most excellent idea! I like the way you think.

Close. It's about the ethical treatment of his penis in journalism.

This picture made me happier than a happy thing.

Quick poll: do you think this elderly writer who is concerned about her looks most resembles (a) Chris Evans, (b) Taye Diggs, or (c) a yak's scrotum?

Nobody cares about your boner, dumbass.

I used to want to be with you, but now you only eat Nothing Burgers. I'm only taking this opportunity to write to tell you that you should stop eating Nothing Burgers. What does your cat think of this??
