Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
SJR Schocklove Cartoon
He voted against the State of Illinois divesting pension funds for Iran with the argument while voting for divestiture from Sudan: “I don’t believe that state government ought to be getting involved in foreign policy,” Schock told me later. He also said his local police and fire pension boards told him that a previous bill […]
One of the more obvious problems with the Shocklove’s idea is that, Ronald Reagan signed the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 1987 and it was ratified in the US Senate in 1988. The INF Treaty banned Intermediate Range Nuclear Missiles and the last one was destroyed (outside of museum pieces) in 1991. IOW, […]
Bill Dennis adds to the fun with a great catch: On May 31, 2007, the Illinois House of Representatives voted 80-2o to approve its version of SB 1621, a law that requires state pension funds to divest their holdings in foreign companies that are doing business with Iran’s energy industry, which is financing Iran’s efford […]
House Race Hotline Dr. Schock-Love McConoughey accused rival Schock of making “a very serious and reckless statement” when the 26-yo state Rep. proposed offering nuclear arms to Taiwan if China doesn’t go along with U.S. policy toward Iran in a speech 10/27. McConoughey said Schock’s comments “reflect a level of inexperience and overall lack of […]
Does anyone know any other candidates who roll out a 27 page manifesto for delivery at their announcement for office? It’s kinda big font, but it’s still pretty amazing. Read it all here Ironically, it has that sort of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez style to it. Kagro X at Kos picked it up too.
GOP rolls out a new flavor of crazy “Undersecretary of State… for Poking It With a Stick and Seeing What Happens.” Instant Classic!
Since the GOP’s Daddy Complex is showing, I think JSF’s comment deserves elevation: OK, or how about in Fast Times. Damone gets Stacy knocked up. She says she wants an abortion. But Mike Damone is a real man. He isn’t paying for any abortion. And then, he treats Stacy like the slut that she is. […]
Perhaps she should have a talk with Jill I’ll be honest. I wasn’t sure what the term “beat it like a rented mule” meant at the time, but it was easy to figure out he meant to disrespect and degrade Senator Clinton. I am guilty myself of doing that among friends, don’t get me wrong, […]
These aren’t issues, they are subscriptions: One of the best scenes in the Godfather movie trilogy was in “Godfather II,” when Kay Corleone (Diane Keaton) told her husband Michael (Al Pacino) she was taking their two children and leaving him. The dialogue: Michael: Do you expect me to let you take my children from me?…. […]
Are from Kane County: Kane County Republican Party Chairman Denny Wiggins is now a paid consultant for State Senator Chris Lauzen’s congressional campaign. Hmmm! The party chairman working for one candidate in an open primary? Sounds kind of like one of my kids offering me 50 bucks to love them more than the other. Ah! […]
Lauzen in Roll Call: “The Illinois Republican machine … does not like Chris Lauzen,” Russell said. “The [unknown] candidate … would have the [Hastert] machine influence.” Russell and Green speculated that the entry of a Hastert-picked candidate will set up an eventual Lauzen victory by siphoning off Oberweis supporters and encouraging typically conservative primary voters […]
While Iraq has 3 basic ethnic/religious groups, Iran has exponentially more. Little Aaron Strangelove apparently doesn’t understand that about 9 in 10 Iranians are Shia. And while there are some ethnic variations within the country, it’s not something that is anything like in Iraq. Most of the ethnic variations have common roots in Persian culture.
Really, this guy served on a school board? Follow this closely. We declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941. Germany then declared war on the United States and December 11, 1941. We then declared war on Germany later in the day on December 11, 1941. But it gets better–Iraq would eventually have been a […]
The United States needs to *lecture* PRD and presumably Vicente Fox about political and economic reform in Mexico? I shit you not. We need to lecture the PRD about political and economic reform including the first non-PRI President of Mexico since 1920 about the need for economic and political reform in Mexico. Fox is the […]
