There are other, better idiots out there who do not offend my sensibilities, and who actually know something about football. Amen.
Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
There are other, better idiots out there who do not offend my sensibilities, and who actually know something about football. Amen.
is in Kass’s column today. Amiel Cueto, the imprisoned, yet soon-to-be-released southern Illinois political boss, recently received a coming-out present. His enemy, Miriam Miquelon, the woman who put him behind bars for using his law license to protect the gambling rackets, is now out of her job as U.S. attorney of the Southern District. So, […]
And it is Dan Hynes. I don’t have a particular problem with Dan Hynes and I like him in general, but I’m more than a little frustrated at the Party Leaders playing footsy with a dirty politician like Costello. Obviously it is a losing strategy to not get him in your corner as Vallas learned, […]
And man is Hull spending a lot. But we knew that. Interesting is that the reports of Dan Hynes having a hard time rasing funds were greatly exaggerated. Of the non-millionaire Democrats in the race, state Comptroller Dan Hynes raised the most over the past three months: $947,662, bringing his campaign total to $1,844,727. Hynes […]
But if I were to target Rod Blagojevich as part of a broad effort to make Illinois more conservative, I’d pick someone a hell of a lot more likeable than Patrick O’Malley. For one, he can’t win his own primary because Republicans dislike the guy so much and for two, he ran those hysterical commercials […]
I thought I’d pay tribute to those who I get traffic from. The largest one day referral was Joe Conason for the article on the CCC and John Ashcroft. It killed the server.

Damn cyclists are taking over Jersey County. As usual, Joyce Morrison is damn near incoherent, but damn funny. If you can’t navigate around traffic, of which cyclists are, don’t drive. Bicycles have been around for a long time and brought joy to many. If used responsibly, a bicycle is a wonderful source of exercise and […]
While the President tries to avoid responsibility for Yellowcake, Dick Lugar is pointing out the obvious in Iraq and the war on terrorism. –It will take time –We can’t do it alone –We need a peacekeeping force My only complaint, Let’s stop dismissing nation-building as "international social work," somehow unworthy of a great power. To […]
Yes, I know they claim it is an agricultural protest, but send troops now to help Lance defend the yellow jersey. Apparently a protest held up the peloton for 90 seconds today, but there was no harm and no off-roading. Tomorrow is a ‘rest day’.
The Trib points out that benefits of Title IX and suggest the Bush administration’s decision to not make any changes is a good thing. Yes it is, and in memory of Paul Wellstone, remember his and Jim Leach’s effort to offer scholarships to those in Olympic Sports–wrestling is one example of this. On another related […]
By cameras catching people running red lights, but I just can’t get worked up about it as Eric Zorn does. But my preference is that they make sure to get the police I see running red lights around St. Louis (with lights off).

Give to Dean (I’ll have a link or something in a couple days) and the DNC–just go to the right for E-Patriots donations.
Both prophets of current Democrats are suggesting that Dean isn’t electable in the general election. John Judis took up the argument in Salon last week and Ruy Teixeira posted on Donkey Rising the same essential argument taking to task Jerome Armstrong of MyDD (and an early supporter and inspiration to ArchPundit) and Tapped who are […]
455 Billion. But they will decline. Now, Max Sawicky will tell you deficits don’t matter much, but the reality is that the conditions he always places on good deficit spending assumes some sort of investment being made–but we aren’t making investments of any consequence and we are spending money we need to prepare for the […]
