That isn’t even me, that is the headline to an article in the Post-Dispatch from Sunday’s edition. I had planned on dropping this, but the regular media isn’t so….. Let me make this clear, we don’t know much about what is in the sealed portions of the file. We do know that Ryan tried to […]

Apparentltly the ICFST doesn’t have enough fights going on so the Cook County Republicans are having a bitter contest for Cook County Chair.
