Call It A Comeback
And he does it well. The Leave No Child Behind Act and most versions of school vouchers aren’t wrong because they force choice, they are wrong because few who advocate such laws really want choice for kids in failing schools. Such laws are cynical jokes on the poor.
The Congressman I respect more than any other disagrees and is against war in Iraq. This is especially interesting because of Leach’s close personal relationship with HW.
Topinka looks to improve the tourism surrounding Cahokia. The first thing might to buy up some of the car heaps claiming to be car repair facilities.
I’m always amazed that Cahokia isn’t a national park. The State of Illinois does an adequate job, but the level of history available should be maintained by the National Park Service.

Of course someone is playing politics in a political situation. That is the friggen’ point. Anyway, Kinsley points this out in his newest piece. He has been exceptionally strong lately.
Richard Daley spends outrageous amounts of money on the removal of snow. Why? It provided one of the few cracks in the machine when Jane Byrne exploited poor snow removal and beat Michael Bilandic. Not getting any traction in the last Mayoral race in Chicago, Bobby Rush decided to give the snow removal issue a try. Unfortunately Bobby set-up his back to the street.
After his car was towed for parking in a snow route, Bobby had at least three passes by a snowplow behind him on the street. It was not a good day to be Bobby Rush. Needless to say, this tactic did not work for the good Congressman with Daley splitting the African-American vote with him.
What is the point of all of this? Carol Mosley Braun is considering a run for Mayor of Chicago. Remember Carol, keep your back away from the street.
J-Ry is fighting Big Jim. Exactly who is supposed to vote for you if you are attacking two of the three last Governors from your party over the last 26 years? Yo Gramma? Well, according to polls that might be a stretch for J-Ry even. Oh, and the third Governor refused to help you out.
With both Torricelli and Gramm leaving the Senate it is likely the least liked position will be up for grabs. In honor, this week’s Death is not an Option:
Torricelli or Gramm?
With the Illinois Governor’s race essentially over and Blago providing about as much interest as toast, we’ll be hearing a lot about his father-in-law.
I knew I liked Kathleen Sebelius. Now, I know why.
Next, we hear from George “Safe Roads” Ryan that even with illegal truck drivers Illinois is still safer!
Gary Hart tells the Dems to Get a Defense Policy.
Gary, you have never belonged to an organized political party, as all good Dems know:
“I’m not a member of any organized political party, I’m a Democrat! ” –Will Rogers
Hart makes good points, but largely overlooks the fine work the DLC has been doing.
