As a Chicagoan, I grew up on the likes of John Belushi, Dan Akroyd and Gilda Radner who all spent time at Second City here before hitting the stage at Saturday Night Live in the 70s. Way too often I laughed till I cried.

It’s Super Tuesday.
I don’t care who you vote for, although I can certainly offer up a few suggestions if you need them.
