Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
Details at FDIC Typical customers won’t notice huge differences other than a new name on their accounts. Depositers, unsecured ceditors, subordinated debt, and then stockholders are the order for any assets being distributed.

Please, let your readers know about the tip-line and […]
Eric wrote a very good column on what is going on in Pat Quinn’s head–which as of today appears to be just about nothing. Hmmmm…Donuts. One is that Blagojevich was on the offensive quickly and relentlessly. Less than one month after the primary, he was on the air with a series of “What’s she […]
I can’t tell the difference between Pat Quinn’s actual government actions and an issue of the Onion. A fucking Canoe Czar? At $85,000? I hate to get all up in arms about small amounts of money when you face the kind of structural deficit Illinois is facing because rearranging the deck chairs doesn’t really matter. […]
It’s a race to see who can lose the Governorship. Both candidates have arguments about why the other guy is unelectable and while Brady is up, he’s not far up. This is the election to see who can screw up the election the worse and the other one wins by default. Brady has kept his […]
I’m finding rather amusing the Tea Party groups claiming credit for anything that goes right despite the fact they have demonstrated no ability to stop anything or to elect candidates. Today’s version: You knew this was coming: A tea party group is patting itself on the back for pushing U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak into retirement. […]
Mark Kirk hates blastocyst-Americans and the Illinois Review is pissed. Thursday morning, U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk will hold a press conference at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s College of Medicine Research Building to remind any softening conservative, prolife Republicans that he not only doesn’t agree with their respect for life at embryonic stages, […]
The Chicago Republican Party isn’t very bright. A phone call and email to Tom Swiss, who Blessing said runs the unofficial site, were not immediately returned. Blessing said that while the nude photo on ChicagoGOP.com “got everybody talking,” in general, Swiss’ site advocates for Republican ideas and criticizes Democrats — without resorting to naked […]
3 Family Values Bitches. Note, apparently this isn’t the official Chicago GOP Website, this one actually has traffic and a Facebook group with many of the major GOP leaders as members. Oh, and a Chicago Republican Party staffer is an admin of the Facebook group for the site as well so…tomato-tomato.
We’d assume she’s a friend of Gary. You know, the type of friend you take to your kids play room late at night with another friend.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAm3VbKekko[/youtube] I imagine he was trying to be funny and sarcastic about concern over potential right wing violence simply because I can’t believe Hannity is that much of an asshole. Oh, I think he’s an asshole, just not that big of an asshole that he in any way approves of Tim McVeigh. It’s not funny. […]
