3. Hey, XNASA. I've Got A Job For You! |
|
I want you to go to every on of the 7500 folks in your district that voted for Mel Reynolds instead of Jesse Jackson, Jr. in the primary and give them a swift kick in the tail. Tell them for me, they're dumbasses.
I mean, come on! So, you want someone else other than Jesse (not sure why), but Mel Reynolds??!?!?!? What's up with that? The Professor

4. Well.....JJJ got 88.6% of the vote. |
|
So there's not too much to be unhappy about.
I suspect that there might have been some crossover Republicans voters who took a Dem ballot so that they could vote against Obama, and decided, WTF, let's punch Reynolds, just to piss people off.
But everything went great in our district/village yesterday. It's wonderful to be back.

But the Reynolds voters need to be smacked around. You may be right. It might be crossovers who thought it'd be funny to give a vote to felonious Mel. Doesn't really matter does it? Jesse's seat is incredibly safe, right? The Professor

6. Oh, yeah. JJJ will be our congressman for many years to come. |
|
Unless he decides to run for Governor, or Senate, or......dare I say it......POTUS.
Did you hear that JJJ's brother is putting together a group to try and buy the Sun-Times.
How cool would that be?
