The Jumbo ($96 Billion) Book - Gov. Pat "The Elephant's Child" Quinn and the Pension Python

  "How would you like to spank somebody?" said the Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake.

"I should like it very much indeed," said the Elephant's Child.Rudyard Kipling (1865- 1936)



Quinn says the cartoon snake represents the squeeze the state's pension liability is putting on voters.  That liability is now estimated to be at least $96 billion and according to the governor it costs $17 million a day just to keep up.

Let's Hear it for Illinois' First Lummox!

Dad always said that I couldn't find my butt with both hands. I can. Allow me to add this imperative -“Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you." - Pope Francis to celebrate Pro-life Mass, Vatican
