McCormick smiles for the press after being ordered to be a gaming commisioner -- a title that was completely made up and holds no actual responsibilities. Also, Mike likes to evade taxes. MATT COZZA/DAILY 1835

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Local poker hustler and madman Michael J. McCormick was appointed by the Daily 1835 executive board as gaming commisioner late Monday night.
Originally, McCormick thought this had to do with hunting animals -- a different kind of gaming.
"Coming from Minnesota, I thought that I was appointed to be a hardass about giving out licenses and stuff like that," he said on his way to the loan office to default on some things. "But I have a gambling problem...and I like to evade my taxes...so i guess this job fits me pretty well."
McCormick was asked to clarify this comment. He refused.
