The State of Illinois in denial

The state of Illinois still thinks the economy is good. There in debt up to there ass and still they do business as usual. They are all crooks no wonder the new governors mansion is the Federal Penitentiary. The city of Chicago runs the state what Chicago wants they get. To dam expensive to live there they charge you for everything i"m surprised they don’t charge you for breathing there air.

At least they’re not paying for spell checking or copy editing, so that represents some savings.

I wasn’t aware the State of Illinois was sufficiently sentient to think for itself.

<insert gratuitous slam about the sentience of anybody who would live in Illinois in the first place>

As a Wisconsonite (Wisconsonian? Wiscowegian? Crap, we need a name!), I applaud even poorly-written diatribes against Our Flatter Neighbor To The South.

On Wisconsin!!

Ah yes, Chicago. Settled by a bunch of New Yorkers who decided they enjoyed the crime and the dirt, but it just wasn’t cold enough.

Oh come, now! Illinois is a GREAT place to live! We have many excellent things here! We have a bean! We have airports with wine bars! We have a castle! We have a pyramid! We have a nuclear power plant for cryin out loud! And let’s not forget all of our wonderful correctional facilities.

Illinois Rocks, dude!

Oh - and digs? You guys HAVE a name. We call you Cheeseheads.

You’re confusing “Chicago” and “Illinois”. There’s actually a lot of the state that isn’t Chicago. It has other beans, castles and nuclear power plants.

Does NOT!!!

Yeah, and it has Superman and Popeye. That’s about it, though.

It has a superfluous S. That’s your government in action, folks.

Well we earned it! We voted on it! Twice or more! And used a different name each time!

A diss on their women! I’d do their moms next, but I’m still waiting in line.

Isn’t the State of Denial southeast of IL?

:wink:

Kentucky?

Is the OP from IL? If so he should complain about their schools too.

Well played. We are Cheeseheads… and Bratheads and Beerheads (TastyMicroBrewHeads, even). Which makes it really difficult to avoid joining the legions of the obese up here. It doesn’t help that Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling aren’t exactly aerobic sports…

But at least we’re not Flatlanders like the OP. And we have better grammar, too, it looks like.

Wrong continent-try Africa.

Hey, we have Dick Tracy now, too.

And theirs gold in them they’re hills.
