And So It Goes

Emil Jones III gets the nod from The Gang to take his father's spot on the Nov. 4 ballot.

The Trib quoted Emil Jones Jr as saying, "He's well qualified for the position. As the constitution says, 21 years old, resident, must reside in the district. All the other things are extra, and he has all the tools necessary. He knows the process."

He also added that his son has been schooled in IL politics since he was a child and showed a picture of Jones III attending a Senate committee hearing as a boy.

None of this is comforting. All the other things are extra? Is this really how we want to think about governing?

He's breathing and he fits the minimum qualifications. But wait, there's more! His father is a standout "Chicago" politician. That's right folks, he knows how to "play the game". Young Emil has learned at the seat of The Man.

You can go fuck yourselves. It seems your fucking of the citizens is done for the day.
