Candidate List 2011 Consolidated Election

Operatives are cautioned to learn from the sad lesson learned by your LakeCountyEye and always copyright your material immediately.

Anyways, operatives in search of inexpensive entertainment can go and vote on April 5. (And, for primary voters, February 22.) Your ballot may very well be a cornucopia of unintended humor!

As for now, your LakeCountyEye is wondering where all the tailgaters are. The big game starts in less than 24 hours but there isn't anyone here to be seen. No doubt everyone is waiting for the piles of snow to be plowed. Wimps.

Live-blogging from a snow-cave somewhere in the Soldier Field parking lot, your LakeCountyEye says GO BEARS!
