I realize that you folks from the other 49 (and points beyond) don't much care but a judge has decided that Senator Burris's (the guy Blagojevich appointed to fill Obama's old seat) appointment term should end in November with a special election to fill the remainder. As in the remaining 6-odd weeks. Since there's no time for a primary, the parties are allowed to nominate their own candidates for the ballot and both are expected to nominate their respective senatorial candidates for the general. You need to vote for the guy for the six week term and vote again for who to fill the regular six year term.
Which means that not only do I not want to vote for either guy, but now I'm expected to vote for him twice!* Lord, almighty...
*There's an obvious Chicago joke in there. Go for it.

How can they expect you to vote twice? You're not dead yet!

CHICAGO POLITICS!
Eh, I've got nothing despite hearing every conceivable mashup of ******** from my Republican father.

Luckily, I have a childhood backyard full of deceased pets to vote for me.

Wait, can I legally vote for two?
Now you can legally vote for four candidates!

I say we vote in Blago for the six-week term, just for giggles.

I think the Green Party should push this. "C'mon... give us a risk-free six week trial and if you like what you see, we can get more than 12% of the vote next time!"

I think you have to pre register the further citizen of Illinois in time, so they will be born already with a voter card.
Also what happen to buying votes with drinks from the local drinking establishment? You just need to add some bat carrying thugs roamng the streets and you can be the next Mob Town.

Apropos of nothing, I just learned that the West Coast area rarely has any decent thunderstorms. So I guess Illinois has that going for it.

Thunderstorms and fireflies are the two things I miss most about living here.

I have to do a weird wink to make it switch. Luckily (I guess) my coworkers are already inured to my.... difference.

I can never get that thing to switch. 
Oddly enough, my headache goes away when I'm staring at your avatar, Samira.
All I do is follow its front paws. I see it going one way at first, then I sort of sway my head in the opposite direction to get it to switch.
