ELEANOR, W.Va.--Want to make a Hillary Clinton supporter mad? Tell her the race is over.
"It's not finished until the last vote is in," a fired-up Rose McPhail retorted.
Clinton journeyed to this small hamlet Sunday evening ("The cleanest city in West Virginia" it calls itself) with her crowd-pleasing [...]
It really shouldn't be that hard a thing to do. That is to step back and realize that there isn't a huge difference between Hillary and Barack. Certainly when it comes to policy and political capability. Sure maybe there are externalities that might make one or the other more electable, [...]
Roundeye's "manager" Mark is a determined man. In another poorly crafted letter to The Bench, the fun continues. The note below is a followup to his earlier note today (see Band Tries to Intimidate Blogger).

Kudos to the Chicago Park District for beginning repairs on the curbs along the beautiful rows of benches along Loyola Park's beachfront in Rogers Park. Better late than never, we say.

We were poking around the City of Chicago's website today and found out that Uptown will have a farmers' market again this year. We'd really like to see this succeed, i.e., attract more fresh produce and vendors than last year's. Fingers crossed for a greater selection, [...]
Before the end of the day comes a Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. I just got back home from a nice early dinner with my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law and my niece. Great to spend some quality time with them.

About 14 years ago, I lost my mom to stomach cancer. My mother, Linda, was a loving and immensely funny lady. I loved her dearly. Like Forest Gump said, "we was just like peas and carrots". When we played spades and were [...]
Roundeye just doesn't get it. Roundeye is a rock band in Rogers Park, and they seem bound and determined to remain an obscure, amateurish band of immature punks. If they were pros, they would not have [...]

Nearly a year and a half of presidential campaigning has finally produced a genuinely breakthrough idea, and it has nothing to do - at least directly - with health care, taxes or Iraq.
Aides to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the presumptive Republican nominee, raised the possibility this weekend [...]
A great Mother's day tribute over at MVRWC
On Mothers Day, those 4 little words

Ah, fools. We must suffer fools. Here in Rogers Park, Chicago’s 49th Ward has a population of just over 60,000. Packed into a two-square mile area, it is difficult to avoid the approximately 10,000 village idiots that move amongst us.
One such village idiot is a [...]
And to those two plainclothes cops at about 1:45: was a nerd with a video camera the worst criminal in Chicago at that particular moment? Weren't there gangbangers and drug dealers and slumlords and gas station panhandlers and illegal vendors and dogfighters and motorcycles racing down the [...]
Last month Ahmed Yousef, who is the chief advisor to the prime minister of the terrorist group Hamas, told WABC Radio, "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election." He was asked why. "He has a vision to change America." Shortly after arriving at [...]
My mother won’t be around today to be doted upon on our one day celebration of motherhood. I’ll be celebrating nonetheless for the remarkable life she led and the gifts she gave me and my brother and sister.
