You Can't Spell NEPOTISM Without Extra Help

Did you know that Santa Claus has a son-in-law named Morals? Morals Claus knows he will forever be in the shadow of his famous in-law. On the plus side, it doesn't matter if he is on the naughty list, come Christmas.

In related news, Joe Salvi. As readers of this blog are aware ...

Nepo Baby

Early this year, Joe Salvi was on the short-list to be appointed to the 26th Senate District.

Salvi is now on the Primary ballot for County Board 17, challenging the GOP incumbent. It goes without saying that it doesn't hurt that Salvi has a relative in the Illinois Republican Party leadership. In related news, the aforementioned incumbent Michael Danforth, recently withdrew from the ballot. It goes without saying that it doesn't hurt if the aforementioned relative is also the Chair of the Illinois Republican Party.
