Illinois Review is on Top of All of the Issues that Really Matter
Like Illinois should be the first to promote chromosone-based gender identity
Because when I think of all of the challenges the State of Illinois faces, this is right there at the top.
I always use the day after wins to find out how the other side is taking it. I’m not sure if I’m just finding battier stuff today or if this is normal fare.

Archie:
Lighten up . . . the post is a bit tongue-in-cheek. A survival mechanism.
Thanks for the attention.

I spend more time ripping Illinois Review than anybody else.
And I’m a republican.

Fran, have you thought of putting up a ‘humor’ flag on posts like these so we know when you’re pulling our legs?

Was it flagged ‘humor’ when Jill Stanek called Catholic Priests rapists?
Anyway, if your blog doesn’t have a resident feminist sociologist, you really should

I find it odd that Fran now says this is just simple humor. I thought cons weren’t down with botched jokes.
Of course, she’s only saying this now after having defended the post with a goofy ‘The NY Times brought it up’ — what on earth does the NYT have to do with anything?
Larry, this is actually a tame post compared to most. Just check out Stanek’s or Rhoads’ many posts overrationalizing for failed conservatism. (And, add to that mix Fran’s post linking to a Wegerje post on SoapBlox Chicago criticizing Rahm “Vital Center” Emanual. She’s gotta find some sort of hope for the conservative crossroads to cling onto.)

If Illinois Review Comedy is your game, look no further than this call for a statue of Hastert from McHenry County’s favorite son, Cal Skinner.
Fair warning: commenters there have already beaten you to the better jokes.
