Another Political State Report posting on the Corrections nomination being put on hold. Slow blogging until Monday probably. But check in…
Paul from CenterPoint points out a problem with blogger templates–quite often it overrides the ability of those with poor site to change text size when viewing a page. This is an excellent point and I will make the changes the next time I work on my template as well as work on the darkness of […]
he outdoes himself. He appointed 40 top administrators to four year terms right before Blagojevich took over. These position are termed positions that usually end right after a new administration takes over. However, if a vacancy occurs, a new appointment gets the full four year terms. In these cases, the individuals resigned, a vacancy was […]
After hearing that Delay had called Democrats the Party of Appeasement I was about to do a web search of DeLay’s comments concerning Yugoslavia. William Saletan beat me to it. I was for intervention in the Balkans and I’m for intervention in Iraq. However, I don’t think every person opposed is for appeasement of our […]
Blagojevich is seeking to sell bonds at historically low interest rates to free up funds to close the budget shortfall. All sorts of states and localities are playing with these sort of mechanisms and I’m leery of some of them.

In typical incoherent fashion my favorite loon takes on the The Nature Conservancy as a dark conspiracy. Yeah.
And the twit Kevin McCollough can make fun of him for it, why isn’t Tim Johnson IL 15 R given the same treatment at the Leader?
And discusses the ERA on the Illinois Leader Here is a choice comment: Section 2 of ERA would take enormous areas of law out of the hands of state legislatures and transfer them to the Federal Government: to the Congress, to the federal courts to interpret what Congress does, and to the federal bureaucracy to […]
According to the Capitol Fax. Thus later in the week we’ll have a clear return to the Weekly (sort of) Cattle Call for the 2004 Illinois Senate Race.
Why aren’t we getting Blair’s back on Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
Of my post concerning credibility is available. Actually I agree pretty much. It isn’t that we are disagreeing with our allies, it is that we continue to push their faces in the mud over those disagreements. I’m in favor of war in Iraq despite the President. And no I don’t think he is talking to […]
