SORRY (STILL) SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD


From the Southern Illinoisan

Rauner aide sorry on social service cuts 'miscommunications'


CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

This is the kind of apology you get from rich folks, large and in charge:

Translation:

"I properly communicated my intentions. I'm sorry if you were too stupid to understand."


Gotta say...

...I truly love the irony of cutting funding for the burial of poor people on Good Friday...

...the celebrated annniversay of a poor person from a couple of thousand years ago.

Maybe Rauner and his supporters figure it just goes to show what a waste of money...

...you bury them on a Friday and they will be up and gone by Sunday next.


If you were to pursue the topic, Rauner's office would probably just point to the "data"...

...all those poor dead folk who show up on election day to vote Democratic in Chicago and Cairo!

No "song of the day" came to mind while reading the articles above...

...but a movie sure did!
