Springfield Illinois, for anyone wondering if it was one of the other 40-odd Springfields scattered throughout the US.  It's not even real easy to tell from the page at the link, but there is a tiny reference to the State at the bottom of the page. 

Of course the most well-known Springfield Mayor is Mr. Quimby, but the story makes clear this wasn't him.

I just assumed it was Springfield Illinois as that was the only one I'd heard of.  Plainly the photograph shows someone substantially less ...er... yellow than Mayor Quimby. ;)

My first thought was Springfield, Masshole.

Then there's Springfield, MO. I'd say just about every damned state in the Union has a Springfield in it somewhere.

Kentucky also has a Springfield, with a Shelbyville near by.

Hm. My wife is watching a soap on one of the local stations and they haven't interrupted it yet.  It should be the lead story on the noon news, though.

In Illinois Springfield and Shelbyville are about 60 miles apart.

There's a Springfield seemingly in every state here.  I clicked the link to figure it out.

There aren't enough black people on The Simpsons for that to be true.

I don't think there's a Springfield in NY.  I don't recall one being on the map of munis in NY on my cubicle wall.

"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Diamond Joe would never have been involved in a plot like this.  He would have had Fat Tony take care it. :cheersmate:
