Those from Bloomington-Normal understand how funny this is. Pete from Drug War Rant posted it on Kos that there was going to be a Jesse Jackson Pinata at Pro-Bush event at the Bistro. Here’s the Bistro web site. I suppose it could be considered Pro-Bush, but in a very different way than the GOP would […]

Hmmm..those would be awfully small elections. “If voting is so important, you need to make that extra effort to do it,” said Luechtefeld, who voted last year against the early-voting measure. “It isn’t just the idea of getting more people out to the polls – it’s getting informed people out to the polls.” What is […]

More Press Releases like this please Now, it just needs to be up here and e-mailed to a broader audience (you can even black out Steve Brown’s phone as I did for that broader audience) (oh, and allow people to do copy and paste with text) In more fun news… While a slight embarrasment to […]

They sure do like planting things… Trib on probably new plant in the 3rd Congressional District Democratic Primary (as a bonus, the Trib ran the wrong photograph, again. Carol Marin jumps in. The bullshit line from Kelly is that Sullivan is too liberal for that District. It’s a 59% Democratic District in the Kerry-Bush numbers–that’s […]

Funny story. Al Gore got up and gave a speech on global warming before James Hansen spoke while Gore was Vice President. Gore went further than Hansen was comfortable with given the state of the science at the time and essentially rebuked the Vice-President for doing so. The Clinton Adminstration respected that rebuke. Hansen’s career […]

Universal health care for kids is like the programs the Soviets put into place? All of Western Europe and Canada are now just like the Soviet Union. Oberweis compares health care to Soviets The free market is very good at delivering health care to healthy people, but damn those rational actors, it tends to charge […]

As always, if an ad interests you, please take a look–SoapBox Chicago is to the right and is really getting a good momentum going on… The AFSCME spring break is a great idea for students out there. DCCC and DSCC both have Abramoff themed ads up–in some extra fun, Santorum is denying any connection to […]

Over at OneMan, Henry had this to say about the AFSCME non-endorsement I think this might actually help Blagojevich in the general election. He can show that he is in fact no friend of government and government employees and he is being careful with state funds. He can rail against bureaucrats and the like and […]

You can watch it here Overall, a big win for Oberweis who came across as commanding, reasonable, and hit Republican primary voters right about their midpoint. If you didn’t know this was his third run, you’d wonder where this guy had been. I may be rethinking my handicapping of this race if he can pull […]

Oops, I was about to mention this tidbit about the Duckworth DC fundraiser being at a lobbying firm, but Sweet’s column got a pretty quick reaction. While there’s a hubbub about the mainstream media around the blogosphere–and legit complaints about many, there are also many in the media who deserve credit. Sweet is one of […]

Brady: But with all due respect to Mr. Oberweis, it doesn’t include rounding them all up in your helicopter and dropping them in Soldier Field Oberweis: We all agree on that Bill and you know that. Pretty deft move by Oberweis–taking the high road to a pretty effective attack and yet pushing it back at […]

Talk about giving Gidwitz a way out…”How are you resolving that issue for the residents there…” By all accounts, he’s not dealing with it. The way you ask a tough question is ask him how he can have a facility with the smell of urine in many common areas and non-working elevators. The reason Joliet […]
