AlterNet reports:

Illinois governor Bruce Rauner watched his anti-union bill called, "Right-To-Work", die a swift, cruel death in the House [May 14]. [...] The the tally [PDF] was 0 yes votes, 72 no votes, and 37 voting present.

Fun with math: The Illinois House has 118 members.

A handful of Republicans went for a walk during the vote, not publicly falling on one side or another.

    But why do I never feel tired, angry or jet lagged when I fly business?

    It's because you're playing Microsoft Flight Simulator X, you never left your mother's basement, and you spent the previous 12 hours sleeping in until the middle of the afternoon.

    Oh, you lose. You can't construct a factual argument to support your assumptions so you get angry and resort to rather pathetic insults, nothing more than juvenile name calling, to try and reinforce your own self-esteem, hoping you'll prove your manliness to yourself.

    Deep down, you know you're nothing more than a giant spanner.

      Some people are angry all the time and they don't even know why. Anyway, Flight Simulator X is pretty much the equivalent to flying coach nowadays - there are better sims on the market :P
