I’d like to plug Bud Billiken. First, it’s one of the classic great parades of Chicago. We were there last year and it was wonderful. If anyone has ever marched in a parade and been fully invigorated by the experience, this is one of those events.
Second, I really like Lisa Madigan and think she’s one of the people in Illlinois Government that we can be proud of.
It’s funny. After all the commotion of 2004, I really thought, this would be a year off. Boy was I wrong.
