Blagojevich’s press release stated: Illinois joins New Jersey, California and Connecticut in providing funding for stem cell research. What did NJ, CA, and CN do that IL didn’t? They went through the legislative process, which Blagojevich impeded. Is that ok with you liberals? As long as you get your way, damn the elected representatives of […]

It’s interesting that my two favorite IL liberal bloggers – Miller and Zorn – had nothing to say today about Gov.

The reasons given indicate that most of England’s late […]

For instance, President Bush had a a “power breakfast” with four top senators today. These placations may make conservatives nervous and even angry. […]

I awoke to major computer problems Saturday and literally spent 6-8 hours a day on the phone (mostly on hold) with Dell that day, Sunday, and yesterday trying to fix them. Dell is to install a new mother board Thursday, and until then I’ll do my best here.
