John Zahm provides moral support to the California Circular Firing Squad Team slobbering over McClintock and suggesting a conservative might deliver California to Bush in 2004. In other science fiction news…Pat O’Malley is likely to become Illinois Governor in 2006 after running nothing but attack commercials on Rod Blagojevich’s lack of support for home schoolers. […]

Joyce Morrison argues that deregulation and environmentalists are to blame for the power outage. Besides the fact that we don’t have an exact cause yet, it is hard to imagine how environmentalists caused a breakdown. Environmental regulations are designed to force the costs of pollution to be passed on to the users of electricity. Stunning […]

Sneed offers a couple gems up. Sneed hears Gov. Blagojevich’s top politicos claim the Guv is seriously hoping to get the nod for veep in 2004.

Look, I like Barack Obama a lot and I think it would be amazing for Illinois to send another African-American to the Senate. While I haven’t made up my mind amongst a very strong field, Obama is an excellent candidate. Steve Neal slobbered over Obama on Monday though, saying, "What gives Obama hope is that […]

Eric Zorn joins the Blogosphere with Breaking Views. A name he is already apologizing for. Two minor quibbles, he has no permalinks and one has to register to get to the blog.

Fair and Balanced week here at ArchPundit was cut short by the effects of the blackout–coincidence, I think not. Roger Ailes shut down power to stop my service provider from broadcasting the truth I tell you. Is the above any wackier than your average Fox hack?

Nodding to the former workers at the Saint Louis Science Museum who may or may not be out there, The National Center for Science Education (NCSE) reports the Missouri Baptist Convention has voted to withdraw support if William Jewel continued teaching evolution.

Oops, I am having flashbacks to 1994. It would appear that someone needs to keep a calendar of important deadlines in the Governor’s office. It’s one thing to miss a deadline, it’s another to anger some of your base over something so small as actually signing the bills. In more important news, Blagojevich is keeping […]

Ready, Aim, Fire in a circle. But no, today is not another hilarious installment of the Illinois Circular Firing Squad Team, but the California version with social conservatives starting their attack on Schwarzenegger. Lou Sheldon (who was great on TV in an entertainment sense) is quoted as saying, Sheldon has formed Californians for Moral Government […]
