In today’s Wednesday Journal, I ask Oak Parkers: Did you ever see so many political signs? The Big O has Oak Park in a hammerlock. But you John-and-Sarah supporters-don’t you just love her?-need not fear. Oak Park‘s Republican committeewoman, Marlene Lynch, has a few left of the ten (10!) signs she got from the Cook County party. She’d prefer not having her number given out, however. Republicans lie low in Oak Park.
Meanwhile, Big O signs metastasize, and so what? He’s most Oak Parkers’ beau ideal. Heck, I met him at a reception for him in an
Oak Park home in the mid-’90s, before few besides William Ayers, that unrepentant son of a ComEd CEO, knew his potential. He was running Annenberg Challenge, funding school programs in how to overthrow the government and helping ACORN register voters as only ACORN knows how-look them up under vote fraud. Little did I know, sipping wine and munching cheese, what a giant was in our midst.
. . . . There’s more more more here.
