    Default Illinois State Representative Mike Bost goes off the deep end

    I guess he decided enough was enough with the speaker of the house. The SOH is a full on crook.

    A little background for those unfamiliar with the way things work in this God forsaken shit-hole. Michael Madigan (speaker of the IL house) has become an all powerful figure in IL politics. He unfairly controls what bills see the light of day and what don't. He is a big player in chicago's "machine" politics and has run rough shod over downstate IL for a good many number of years now. He has a sneaky way of changing the language in bills and running them at the last minute to try and sneak things by. He makes the rules as he goes and breaks them when they don't suit him. Well, one downstate legislator has had enough. Kudos to Rep. Bost
    I thought it was good and I honestly think majority of Americans are tired of
    how F-ed up politicians are and wnat their voices heard.

    Sad part is the bored looks of all the people around him.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Just one of the many many reasons that I retired and moved out of Illinois to Colorado. Illinois is a real shit hole and worst part, I still have three kids still stuck (living) in Illinois.

    How old are they? My buddy who is an aspiring artist moved there. Tried to tell him no, but he didnt listen.

    I hated living there while stationed at Great Lakes.

    I had an aspiring buddy move there as well. He hated it and moved back.

    I don't think it is fair to say this guy went off the deep end, as that would insinuate that he went crazy. I'd say that he went sane and voiced his opinion.

    Range between 40 and 48. I guess I really shouldn't refer to them as "kids" anymore.
