Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
Go Read Kass Today–I think this fits with Jeff Trigg’s original idea for his site.
The Milk Dud is back. What would the world be if Neal didn’t have someone to kick around. So far, Hynes, Obama and McKenna seem to pass the test, but he hates the rest.
The Bad News, Freddie Rodriguez abandons. (that was actually the day before the rest day) The good news, Lance stays even today and there is only one real chance for Ullrich to catch up on time–the time trial. The other stages are flat and shouldn’t be an issue. Given Lance’s legs appear strong again, I […]
Instead of the traditional single post, Rich Miller is creating a sort of blog like front page with excerpts of the Capitol Fax. Stil no permalinks though…
Via The Political Wire, There is a going to be a Counter Clinton Library. Someone needs to get a life…seriously. Of course, strike one up for the post-modernization of the social sciences with this quote, “We already hear he’s going to bring a bunch of egghead economists to his library to say how great the […]
Despite Jeff Trigg’s professed indifference to the Illinois Center-Right Coalition, it is really his dastardly plot to blow up the Republican Party and make the Libertarians the 2nd party in Illinois. Heh. Heh. So no one is confused, I’m poking good natured fun at Jeff and I certainly don’t represent his views. But the second […]
After the Joyce Morrison column last week made the rounds of cyclist mailing lists and Bulletin Boards, the Illinois Leader was apparently inundated with letters. The best work was done by Bob Foster who figured out that Ms. Morrison’s husband is on the dole to the tune of $129,000 over the 5 years. Now that […]
Jeff Trigg is doing some great work on ballot access and is blogging about it to boot. I wish the effort the best, even if I’m less optimistic than Jeff about the chances for success. The challenge isn’t to get enough lege members to sign on, the challenge is to get it out of committee.
Often I have been critical of those who use family connections to leap frog into higher positions than their experience would suggest warranted. The most obvious example in the last election was Lisa Madigan, who ran against such a nitwit that she was far more attractive of a candidate. Can anyone explain what Birkett’s position […]
Bobby Rush endorses Blair Hull. It would appear that Blair Hull has exploited the Steve Neal column to great benefit and Rush’s denials concerning that article. Hull is running a smart campaign. One of the signs of a good campaign is picking up on others mistakes and in this case, pushing Rush out there too […]
National Review Online writer Rod Dreher recently departed the NRO to go to the Dallas Morning News’ editorial page and apparently has gotten a blog started. A couple thoughts–first, this will never come to the Post-Dispatch which is utterly clueless about the Internet–and just about anything else, this is a long way off. Thanks to […]
Chip Taylor is back and blogging from South Carolina. I’ll be adding him to the state coverage as he will be concentrating upon states in general, but not so much local coverage.
After crashing–perhaps he should crash more often
Lance is dropping Ulrich right now-
