With the Smiling Conservative firmly seated by my side, we have a lot to discuss today:
- Elgin City Manager Sean Stegall is leaving for North Carolina!
- The Kane County Director of Elections quits. We’ll call it the Nightmare in November.
- The Longmeadow Loons strike back!
- The Friends of the Fox River have no friends
- Sith Lord Madigan schools Darth Rauner one more time
And we’ll take your on-topic calls at 847-931-1410 too!
The only Illinois radio that provides these kinds of political insights is Left, Right and You, Mondays at 9 a.m. and Thursdays at 3 p.m. with Larry Jones and me, the Curmudgeonly Liberal, on WRMN AM1410. We’ll see you there!

So if Madigan and Rauner are both Sith, doesn’t that put them on the same side? And who are the Jedi — or are there any in the Illinois government?
