Besides my fascination with Illinois Politics, I dabble in following hate sites and the such. This was true even before the infamous Earl Holt post, but one of the things that has boggled my mind is the respect that Little Green Footballs gets from a large number of other bloggers. Go look around in comments […]
He has a rather amusing take on the Cook County Chair Election.
Rich Miller’s weekly column from last weekend delves into the deep end of Illinois corruption and it is too depressing to add on to.
Dan Hynes and Da Speaker pick the right one. “What I find interesting is that many of the voices who are raising questions about some of the borrowing that has been done in this administration were a party to the biggest borrowing binge that ever occurred in Illinois state history, called Illinois FIRST,” Blagojevich said, […]
Circle up and fire over at the Leader.
Robert Shaw is claiming dead people voted in the March primary. What he isn’t saying is that they probably voted for him.
It isn’t as if even most conservatives don’t understand the Tragedy of the Commons. Apparently Joyce doesn’t understand that private property rights don’t alway provide incentives to conserve nor do they necessarily protect intergenerational resources. I defy anyone to find a thesis to the article. Finally, does anyone actually know anyone who worships GAIA? I […]
I knew I’d get under someone’s skin sooner or later…but alas, it was just a reprint of Michael Van Winkle’s response to the Obama Poll. Where I think Michael makes a good point, and I may have been unclear, is when he says: Archie goes on to claim that Ryan shouldn’t be criticizing Obama as […]

For Matt Hale: “The first person he shot at, the first, ah, Jew — didn’t even hit him. Didn’t even hit their clothes or anything. He chased them around the house,” Hale says, laughing. “He’s chasing this Jew around his house firing at him.”
Martin O’Malley didn’t come to get Daley’s advice, he came to build a relationship for a future run at higher office. O’Malley is a Governing Magazine coverboy looking to build up national relationships for a future run. If he gets an idea or two, so be it.
And frankly, I’m angry I don’t pay more to Missouri–actually that isn’t true–I pay about the same amount relative to income as I paid in Illinois, but in Illinois I got something for it. It’s that there aren’t other revenue streams in Missouri. Tomorrow will be slow early, but midday there should be an avalanche […]
I think Oneman and I are going to have to turn this into a running gag on Ryan. I’m not singling him out as the only one who thinks this, but we seem to comment a lot on this issue back and forth. We both think the other is wrong, but not in a way […]
