Eric Zorn points out the obvious if the Chief represented another ethnic group Chief Illiniwek must go. The University of Illinois should not "honor" American Indian culture in a way that would be unthinkable to "honor" African American culture, Jewish culture, Latino culture, Asian culture or just about any other culture. No institution with an […]

In the absurdities of the modern world, the continued use of a caricature to represent the Illini tribe with a foolish moron at U of I athletic events bothers few. Fighting Illini itself isn’t offensive, but some idiot running around the field acting like a chicken with his head cut off is not an appropriate […]

Maria Pappas’s impending entry to the Illinois Senate race for the dem nomination is nothing but bad news for Hynes. One of Hynes’s remaining strengths was name recognition. The reason candidates work so hard to get name recognition as well as inform voters of their stands on the issues is that they are going for […]

So I didn’t make it back on Saturday, but I will be back this week. If you are wondering why–I’m a little bit over a year ahead of Kos times two and we’ve had a sick little girl. That said, this week will be slow…why? A brand spanking new ArchPundit is in the works with […]
