While I’ve heard the poll Kinzinger was passing around exaggerated the size of his lead, it’s pretty clear toss up is a good way to view it right now.
Illinois, From the Colder Prairie Now
While I’ve heard the poll Kinzinger was passing around exaggerated the size of his lead, it’s pretty clear toss up is a good way to view it right now.
My predictions from last week are obviously way off the mark.
No official word, but the lawyers are headed to the courtroom and the press is active. See here for the WGN feed. While I was positive last week, I don’t think this is a good sign and has a very different feel than the day George Ryan’s verdict was handed down.
Pat Quinn isn’t much of a prize, but jeebus this is amazing: * Sen. Bill Brady said today that he won’t know how he can cut 10 percent out of the state budget until after Auditor General Bill Holland helps him identify specific cuts. But Brady also said he would “demand of every […]
He supports the Park51/Cordoba House development: Giannoulias says the world is watching how America responds and says “Are we going to talk about tolerance, talk about freedom of religion or are we actually going to practice it?” I actually think support is the wrong word for much of this. After all, I’m Presbyterian–do […]
Take a visual tour of neighborhood that the Cordoba House Islamic Community Center will be. Backdoor Blind Date is obviously a hallowed piece of literature at the, ahem, gentleman’s book store. We are now up to asking Senators from Illinois what they feel about a zoning issue in Manhattan. Do you know what […]
I clearly went into the wrong business. Apparently you can run for office and be involved in machine politics and not be smart enough to get your own name as an IP address. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you JoeBerrios.com. Brought to you by Forrest Claypool.
Newt Newt Gingrich plays the Nazi card: “You know, Nazis don’t have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum in Washington. We would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor. There’s no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center.” […]
The punchline to the morons protesting a Muslim Community Center, known as the Cordoba Center, near the World Trade Center site, is that it’s a group based on interfaith understanding. Seriously: The programs at Cordoba Initiative (CI) are designed to cultivate multi-cultural and multi-faith understanding across minds and borders. In the ten years since […]
It might be appropriate when talking to boys especially about the practice of choking oneself for pleasure to discuss masturbation, but apparently an obvious and well known part of the issue isn’t even addressed in the news article. I know it’s ‘icky’ and makes people have vapors despite 90% + of men partaking, but dealing […]

Maybe. I have been busy so the post earlier was a quick reaction to the doom and gloom of the news today. I do have a lot more faith in the jury than just about everyone else at this point, but I also understand I could be completely wrong. Where I do think we […]
They must be idiots! Or not. Turns out they have decision on two counts, haven’t figured out any of the wire fraud counts and are deadlocked on probably 9 counts. This is a very complex case with lots of difficult information to go through. I’d be shocked if the jury had decided on many […]
