Forrest Claypool Uses a Mac, Less Common Pronounciation

County Commissioner Forrest Claypool mostly stayed out of the fracas this week, but he's still going after Stroger. And he pronounces "patronage" so the first syllable rhymes with "rat." Don't most of us pronounce it so the first syllable rhymes with "rate"?

Also...is Mark Suppelsa secretly foxy?
