Q the Eye/01.14.13

Dear LakeCountyEye,

Where does someone go to get a date in Lake County?

One Man, One Vote

Dear Single Issue Voter,

The best place to find a date in Lake County is on an Internet Dating Service. Your LakeCountyEye's profile was posted, a while back, on one popular dating website:

Name Barney Baxter Favorite Food Cheetos Favorite Beverage Mountain Dew Best Hangout Basement (finished) of Divorced Parent Occupation Blogger

You would now have to be a Mundelein Free Range Chicken Rancher to have slept with more chicks than your LakeCountyEye!

Haha j/k. The truth is your LakeCountyEye hasn't been on a date since Rumsfeld was a Congressman. (A lousy tipper.) Your best bet is to follow the lead of another Lake County Congressman, Peter Roskam. Given his record of pushing legislation that would criminalize basic reproductive medical decisions, one would think that Roskam would have a big gender problem with his female voters. Not so. In fact, Peter Roskam enjoys a reputation of being Lake County's ladies man in Washington DC.

Roskam's secret? As far as your LakeCountyEye can tell, he knows what the ladies want. And according to the big dating sites, the ladies want someone who will listen:

Like for instance eHarmony.com ...

Women Want You to Listen Up
In general, women complain that men don't listen to them.
What Women Really Want

And at match.com ...

Follow the advice in Proverbs 18:13: 'He who answers before listening; that is his folly and his shame.'
Listen ... and find love

So guess who the Northwest Herald has proclaimed Congress's Listener In Chief:

Roskam's listening skills will make the transition to a redrawn district easier, said Darlene Ruscitti, chairman of the DuPage County Republicans.

The House Republicans, with Roskam's support, may succeed one day at criminalizing a woman's reproductive options. Your LakeCountyEye knows exactly where Peter Roskam will be on that day. Visiting the prisons and listening to the stories of the criminals they sent there.
