I have told the Governor's staff that the sign symbolically represents to me one of the most refreshing changes the new administration has made.

The Blagoofers blew it when they declined to understand that locking that door --- I believe you are standing in front of 212 --- set a tone that they wanted to isolate themselves from the rest of the world.

So you enter only to find you are 2 stories up and nothing but air after you pass thru...the things that run through your mind as you freefall toward the pile of bodies below (but coming up fast!) Quinn the jokester...

I agree, the sign really is symbolic of the change. Too bad changes have not been made where the real problem exists.

Actually Reed looks like both Capt Fax and Pearson

This sign hand printed by Governor Quinn and not at taxpayers' expense

The shadow of Rich in the background almost makes it seem like he is in some sort of witness protection program.

I wonder if the Elvis doll Blago had in his office is gone now. Maybe it should also read "Elvis has left the building"
