From Mark Steyn at The Corner: I’m getting a bit tired of Senator McCain’s anti-business shtick. The line about serving “for patriotism, not for profit” is pathetic. America spends more on its military than the next 35-40 biggest military spenders on the planet combined: Where does he think the money for that comes from? As [...]

Today I finally received love letters from the two lovers who are vying for my attention to become my IL State Senator. It’s too late for me, since I have already voted for Rumler, but Mr. Examiner will not vote until Super-De-Duper Tuesday. The front of the Jacobs mailer has what is obviously a photoshop picture [...]

Regular readers know I’ve been all over the map about the POTUS thing. From Richardson, to Huckabee to Ron Paul—and everybody in between. As I mentioned previously, last Tuesday I did the early voting thing. For POTUS, I voted for Obama and his delegates, most of whom I loathe because they are Politburo insiders. My [...]

My favorite thing is to connect press with politics and how they conspire to keep us barefoot, pregnant and stupid. So I was pleased to see this blog post from Peoria blogger, Bill Dennis about how a Peoria local media entity had decided to run for office in the 18th Congressional District. Sounds familiar, doesn’t [...]

For several years, Mr. Examiner and I have been doing movies and dinner as a return to our earlier dating habits (the 70s). As a result, for better or worse, we have seen a majority of the movies up for Oscar nominations. I must say here, that in almost every event, we find the movies [...]

From Rep. Pat Verschoore (D-Politburo) in an article in the Dispatch today, about Jerry Lack; It’s always hard to run against an incumbent… I wonder how in hell Verschoore would know. Verschoore never ran against an incumbent in his life. In ’03, in the usual Politburo fashion, he was appointed to serve out the term of [...]

An article in today’s Dispatch reported the not-so-shocking news that the local incumbents were ahead in money raised for IL Senator and 71st District Representative. Well, surprise! surprise! as Gomer Pyle would say. It appears that our nep Senator lied to us. Yeah, I’m shocked, too. As I blogged about here Mike Jacobs crowed that [...]

“You’re Black” Versus “You’re The Boss’s Wife.”

I’d say the operative word here would be yo-yo, or maybe mass group dementia, or maybe just too much time and money on their hands, because according to this AP report a liberal advocacy group, called Americans United for Change (AUC) has decided to spend 8.5 million dollars on a negative campaign against—-GEORGE BUSH! AUC is [...]

The Never-Ending Campaign had been weighing on me for some time, so when I saw in The Dispatch that the Early Voting Trolley was going to be in my ‘hood today, I decided to go down there and just get it over with. Aside from the “just do it” aspect, I reasoned that while the weather conditions today [...]
