I was offline the last two times he did this: If you – or your friends or family – give to Mark Pera on my Mark Pera fundraiser page by next Saturday, I’ll kick in a matching donation of my own. Check it out. (I’ve done this kind of matching pledge before (including earlier this […]
WTF: After the event, he mused about her chief rival, Sen. Barack Obama. “The fact that he’s African American is a big deal. I do expect and hope that Hillary is the nominee of the party. But I hope he’s used in some way. If he happens to be the nominee of the party and […]

Seriously. What a goof. I believe we need to make sure Bill has a video camera State Rep. Aaron Schock won’t permit his two congressional primary opponents to videotape him at any forums or debates. Well, it’s not that he’s not allowing it, he just won’t attend events if taping is allowed. So the net […]

Attractive Republican millionaire forced out of race after press reports that he dragged his TV star ex-wife to a swingers club. High-flying, millionaire out-of-state African-American former presidential candidate and ambassador […]
Let’s be clear on this vote. It was a vote against banning a form of torture.

The practice is banned by the military as torture and a violation of the Geneva Convention. […]
DEERFIELD, IL?

When you appoint someone to be your point person on gambling because he’s an avid gambler, not much good can come out of that. A 12-count indictment against Kelly, 49, of Burr Ridge, alleges he placed millions of dollars in wagers with a bookie in Chicago and casino in Las Vegas, then paid the debts […]
