Kevin McDermott joins the it’s just icky so I can’t print it about gay couples: “African-American women in particular had to choose between supporting an African-American or supporting a woman,’’ said Bonnie Grabenhofer of Illinois NOW, who isn’t a delegate but is in Denver this week accompanying a friend who is a Clinton delegate. “(Jones) […]

Of course, it isn’t just Madigan, it’s most of the Lege as well. We’ve been down this road of the Governor saying he is going to be more […]

Errr… It was in this column three weeks ago that I reported something Daley, House Speaker Michael Madigan, County Board President Todd Stroger and a whole host of ward bosses hate to think about.

Criticizing Cubs fans: “You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there,” Obama said, according to transcripts released by ESPN. “People aren’t watching the game.
