Emil and the alligator

What do retiring Illinois Senate President Emil Jones and the alligator found in the Kishwaukee River have in common?

I’ll leave that for you to comment on.

Jones is taking a lot of hits from columnists and editorial boards across the state for trying to get his son to take his spot on the November ballot. I liked the John Kass take best.

I wonder what my boss would say if I walked into her office and told her I wanted my son to take over as editorial page editor? He writes well, has opinions, has different ideas, yada yada yada.

How far do you think that would get me?
