“You should invite President Trump to speak with the team before Game 3. Come on, you’re up 2-0 already and have all the momentum. There’s no way the ‘Trump Curse’ is real. And it could really motivate the boys to finish the job.”

It’s always fascinating to me that in JAWS (1975), the word “shark” is never spoken. Instead characters use phrases like “sea muncher” and “toothy jockey.” I wonder if they didn’t have the rights to the word?

The Brewers are going to win the World Series and next season (whenever that is), Pat Murphy is still going to do his “aw shucks, we’re just scrappy underdogs” schtick and you assholes are going to continue to eat it up. You cows. You absolute fucking cows.

Navy Pier is a Chicago icon and an incredible a source of entertainment for Illinoisans and visitors alike. It has been my pleasure to advocate for federal investments for Navy Pier while in Congress, and I was honored to be recognized at their annual gala last night.
