You don't say if he's a Republican. Funny how you don't have to, innit?

"Bost was charged with criminal damage to property, unlawful use of weapons, and reckless conduct with a weapon, but was found not guilty by a jury."

He's temperamental, if you mean 90% temper and 10% mental.

A vote for the worst is a vote for the Bost.

You can't do anything until they "pose a threat", or you'll get done for battery. Non-response is probably the best idea.

Aw, c'mon - haven't we all done a little dog-shooting and gun-losing? No? Not even once every blue moon?

Nuts.

Someone should tell him that passionate isn't always being punchy and screamy. It can mean working long hours into the night to get a project done...it can mean putting together a coherent argument on behalf of a constituent. Punchy and screamy is just being a spoiled, grandstanding bully.

That's right, he's fat, volitile, and careless. Hmmm, that's not much a put down. How about, he's a barking asshole?

"Bost named her when asked by the police if anyone of “questionable character” had been around the residence, but it’s not explained why the Bosts were housing a girl they didn’t trust."

Well, I can think of at least one reason he might have kept a 17-year-old girl of questionable character around the house.

People love to talk about corrupt politics in Chicago, but southern Illinois has done quite well, going back to Paul Powell, the secretary of state who kept hundreds of thousands of checks from drivers license applicants in is Sprinfield hotel room.

Didja know Old Honeydripper Everett Dirksen almost scored the Air Force Academy for Granite City?
