An open letter
to the people who have initiated the Road Construction season in Chicago.
You are on notice. When you take the three routes to my daughters school and reduce them to one, and the one you leave is the one that runs through a severely dangerus neighborhood, you pissed me off enough. But this is the summer when the Daughter wil be driving herself. Don’t make me come for you. You won’t like it.

You’re the one that raised a daughter who wanted to go to school in Chicago.
Just sayin’.
It’s not in Chicago. And it’s a good school, one of the best in the area. And there are two roads that take you to it that are being repaired at the same time. The third road, which is the one ACTUALLY in need of repair, is the one in the shitty neighborhood.
Welcome to Illinois.
…the road thru the shitty neighborhood isn’t used by anyone important, you know, so it doesn’t need to be fixed.
Those other roads–well, some Illinois legislator (or his wife) (or his husband) has to drive on those and don’t like all the bumps.
Or someone who gives money to some Illinois legislator.
Or something.

Hey Ed, if you cause the northern half of the “Peoples Republik of Illinois” to go “boom”, spare my little hamlet, would ya? We are right next to one o’ them glow-in-the-dark electric producers, and it might get a bit messy around here, if you do so.
On the other hand, it would cause me and my gypsy band to have to move…wonder if I could re-instate my Texas citizenship papers?
HECK no, that’s the only way the Democrats MIGHT evolve into something smarter.
…but that was yesterday and I’m in a better mood now. I WILL ALLOW ILLINOIS TO CONTINUE ITS PATHETIC EXISTENCE.
So if one considers Progressives/libtards/Democrats, et all, to be mutants in the first place. Than wouldn’t allowing said glow-in-the-dark plant to “blossom”, mutate the mutants? I thought a double negative was frowned upon.
I much prefer radical surgery. Remove everything from Rockford east to the lake, and south to at least I-80 (to include selected infections…Springfield, Peoria, Champaign-Urbana), and north to the Cheddar Curtain, and I think you have a viable plan to save the state.
@Guy and Ed,
Be very careful with your excisions in Springfield, Peoria, and Champaign-Urbana. They are all hotbeds for gun rights activism. I’m kind of partial to the part of the U of I campus north of Green Street too being an alumnus of the College of Engineering.
I agree wholeheartedly to removing the northeast corner of the state though.
