The New Keyes Abode

Vasyl pointed this out in comments–anyway to find ownership–I’m just curious.
In comments is the answer–given it’s not a political figure, I’m not putting it on the front page.

SEE–Rick Agrees With Me!
The Illinois Democratic Party sucks online. Sucks. Bites. Blows. Whatever.
Rick points out that Madigan isn’t exactly inviting, but also, how feels invited into participation by the Da Speaker? There is no rule that he should be on the front page and given his reclusive ways, it makes no sense. There is another guy who could be out there? Maybe a certain next Senator?
Even the Missouri Dems have a better site and half of them are looking for new jobs with Claire winning.
C’mon, the Cross guys are doing amazing things, the Dems are scaring the children.
I Hear A Tomb Creaking
Sigh, having grown up in the area where Lincoln rode the circuit, this is depressing
Later, speaking to reporters, Keyes likened himself to the nation’s 16th president. He said mid-19th Century voters in central Illinois looked at Lincoln “in terms of the character that he offered to his fellow citizens,” rather than in terms of his Kentucky roots.
Things we will never see:
Plaques commemorating where Keyes slept or high prices for his writings.
We should be expecting a rather gaunt skeleton to be filing for slander against Keyes very soon. I’d rather expect that the skeleton can still represent himself.
Table For One!
I’m stealing, but only a couple folks know from where:
They found the most eloquent black Catholic Republican the world has ever seen.
The Jake and Elwood Campaign
It’s Clearly a Mission from God
“the victory is for God”
Oh, Steve
Desperate to find someone to compete against Harvard-educated Obama, the Republicans “needed to find another Harvard-educated African American who had some experience on the national political scene,” said Republican state Sen. Steven J. Rauschenberger. “We need that because the Democrats have made an icon out of Barack Obama. The only way to fight back is to find your own icon, and that is not an easy thing to do.”
And now the Alan Keyes Blog

Leader Board FUn
The Leader Board is claiming that the neocons hate Keyes because of a critical article in the Weekly Standard. Small problem–Bill Kristol was his college roommate who and ran his first Senate campaign in Maryland and Jeanne Kirkpatrick was Keyes mentor–explaining much. For those not getting the joke, Kristol publishes the Weekly Standard.
Obviously, I’m not a big Alan Keyes fan. My last significant encounter with the former ambassador occurred at the door of a local television station in Atlanta Georgia in the spring of 1996. The station was holding a TV debate for the presidential primary and had banned Keyes, who was then running for president. My candidate, former governor Lamar Alexander, and I had the bad timing to enter the station at exactly the moment Keyes was attempting a media stunt that included chaining himself to the front door. A minor scuffle occurred and I remember the priceless look on the normally unflappable Gov. Alexander’s face when he realized that he was a split second away from becoming hopelessly chained to a frothing Alan Keyes in front a phalanx of glaring TV lights and news cameras. Zigzagging in a flash like an NFL running back, Alexander shot through the door like a rocket, evading Keyes and pulling me through in his draft alone. It was the highlight of the Alexander for President campaign in Georgia.
I’m certain Ambassador Keyes is now busily at work printing up some “Crazy Times Demand a Crazy Senator” yard signs and oiling his trusty chains for a repeat performance in Chicago this fall. Whatever element of the Illinois GOP that came up with this plan will regret the day they thought it up.
We…Sort of Have a Place for Keyes
Os-Blog’s Rich Osbourne offers the following:
I do have an extra bedroom…but given his track record, I think I have good reason to doubt that he’d pay his half of the rent and utilities.
Just crash on Syverson’s couch for a couple months.
The least Syverson could do is cosign the short term lease.
