Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
But let’s just say I’m mighty pissed at the John Burge Protection Act that is effected by Blagojevich’s amendatory veto.

Silly Cyclists: Bikes are for Kids. I’m incapable of addressing the issue without ranting so I’ll let Greg do it.
Via the Illinois Leader The Economist profiles Chirinjeev Kathuria. What is striking about the article is that it is the best profile to date.
Bonnie DeSimone has done another bang up job covering the Tour de France. Lance, of course, won, and Tyler came in 4th with a fantastic time trial. While Tyler is amazing, he is also 32 making it hard to believe that beyond Lance’s career he’ll be around. However, if he can stay healthy next year […]

This has been part of a concerted effort on the part of Mexico to unilaterally renegotiate NAFTA. The HFCS dispute is just the most egregious example […]
In an interesting use of media, The Illinois Policy Institute has a blog, A New Can of Worms, written by the Director Greg Blackenship. What do I like about the Illinois Policy Institute? Not much and the next post will show one reason. Essentially it is another ‘think tank’ that is really cover for a […]
Blagojevich is having state employees in the Department of Corrections monitor television coverage of the Governor. This is a great story and kudos to a paper that was nothing more than an AP reprint for years at turning into a serviceable local paper. The governor’s office contends that having state workers monitor TV news helps […]
