Fortunately, I’m not the only one who finds Peter Labarbera, undercover homosexual investigator, hilarious. Pam’s Blend takes us into Petey’s work at the War On Christian’s Conference. She refers back to this Salon article (weird advertising thingy to get in). Oh, boy, it’s at the Omni Shoreham–I just stayed there on my last trip to […]

If you have a favorite candidate, give what you can. Let’s go with a good consensus pick here, John Pavich I also recommend Bean, Duckworth, and Seals. If you want to feel subversive, Join the Nedrenaline. It’s not that he’s moderate, it’s not that he supported the war, it’s that the good Senator Lieberman gets […]

Blogs never are in good taste so after wishing Congressman Evans well, I’m thinking John Sullivan (I can recycle some posts–different Sullivan) Mike Jacobs Ah hell, that District covers such a weird area, I have a hard time figuring out who is in and who is out of it. Minor thing–despite crossing over media markets, […]

I’m glad to hear it. Lane has served admirably, but it was clear this winter that he was going to have a hard time keeping up as a Congressman. It’s far better to leave on your own terms. I hope this will also give him time to enjoy himself and his family. It is odd […]

I can’t believe that one worked–the seat belt issue is hysterical because the best way to handle is just to say it is settled instead of actually getting into a debate over the issue. 11th Hour and Abelog cover the issue. Jim gets the political handling correct, but the reason the issue was raised is […]

Greg points out that hazing in the Lege can go too far. Way tooooo far…. Not funny and damn demeaning. If Dawn Clark Netsch was around she wouldn’t have ruled it just out of order, she’d have kicked Hendon’s ass. Mark Rhoads makes a very good point in Greg’s post. I don’t mind a bit […]

Really, I like Meeks in many ways, but don’t make me have that much fun at your expense. Rich pointed out that Meeks’ views on guns would alienate him from social conservatives. I’m not sure that’s the biggest issue however. There is a odd, but somewhat possible alliance between James Meeks and many social conservatives […]

Cegelis refuses to endores Duckworth. If that’s Christine’s take, it’s Christines take (and YDD, I do owe you an apology–I was mistaken) As I’ve expressed many times, there have been much worse primaries. This isn’t typical, but it’s certainly not uncommon. At this point, anyone who wants to fight over it can…others should find a […]

He makes a very simple point. Melissa Bean is a lot better than David McSweeney. I like Bean. I don’t like each of her votes, but she is a moderate in a relatively conservative district. Fortunately, the District isn’t as right wing as David McSweeney. That said, this guy appears intent on delivering David McSweeney […]

I’ll be on Collateral Damage tonight on KDHX here in St. Louis–it’ll be heavy towards local St. Louis stuff, but hey, if you can’t self promote what can you do.

One of the things I’ve been both surprised and amused by is how many project things upon bloggers–ones people like they tend to think they share almost all the same attitudes and ones they dislike they tend to ascribe all bad things to. And some of the comments lately bring me back to this. First, […]

I blog on Missouri and Illinois with some regularity, but there are three important races in Iowa that I will be covering this election as well. While Iowa News may be included on any day, Tuesdays will be the day I do most of it. It won’t be the kind of concentrated coverage on Illinois […]
