God rest ye merry gentleman, Sen. Ted Kennedy passed away last night. Flaws and all he was truly a great American leader. [...]

The media can’t both want Pres. Obama to have no sense of humor and have a sense of humor while discussing his plans to eliminate the Bush Recession.
…Who said the media was “liberal”? (Oh, that’s conservatives who usually say that. Go figure.) [...]

The Establishment (ie, Society of Strange Bedfellows) is spending nearly $2 million to tell we Illinoisans to vote against a Constitutional Convention. Their reasoning is hollow and faulty. To wit:
- Even if the Constitutional Convention costs X million dollars… our current broken system is clearly wasting millions [...]
Cuckoo clocks chime 24 hours a day.
Can’t these goofball conspiracy theorists just go back to their little John Birch Society tea parties out on the veranda? Must these commenters spew their bile for all the world to see (and read)? It’s unbecoming.
The epitaph will read, “Curiosity didn’t kill this cat.”

What a life he lived and what stories he shared. 96 years wasn’t enough time to tell it all.
Remind me not to order whatever it is Roeser’s having… yowza. Lay off the Kool Aid.
Oberweis? Peraica?
Seriously?
Remind me again why partisan conservatives think the media is “liberal”….
Apparently, uberpartisan conservatives only like to “spread the wealth” (at the point of state trooper’s gun, no less) when a certain governor of Alaska does it:
Welcome to the People’s Republic of Alaska, where every resident this year will get a $3,200 payout, thanks in no small [...]

I’m beginning to think conservative partisans may not be able to make it til Election Day. They’re literally starting to beat themselves up in lame-brained attempts to make Obama supporters somehow appear evil and dastardly. From John Moody, executive VP for Fox News, writing on the Fox News [...]
In her interview with NBC’s Brian Williams, conservative Gov. Sarah Palin claimed that she wouldn’t necessarily use the word “terrorist” to describe nuts who bomb abortion clinics. From a related MSNBC story:
Palin resisted the suggestion that if Ayers was a “domestic terrorist” — a standard line in her [...]
…is cold, hollow and shriveled from lack of use… if Fran “John Birch” Eaton even has any heart left after so many years of just plain loathing “that one,” Barack Obama, and so many others of her fellow Americans.

Roskam is allegedly abusing his Congressional franking privileges in the weeks leading up to Election Day. He’s a freshman in Congress for goodness sake! That didn’t take long.
This hypocrisy is what our tax money goes toward? And here the conservative partisans were whining last June just [...]
I hereby rescind my previous comments indicating GOP State Rep candidate Christine Prochno is a good person.
I understand the swirl of a race can make some folks rather heady and Ms. Prochno may be a decent human being outside of the campaign world. But, this week’s last-minute mailer ([...]
Sen. Dan Kotowski has earned the nickname “The Tiger” down in Springfield for his tenacious hard work. The Daily Herald recognizes that effort and endorsed Kotowski today (not yet online):
Voters have distinct choices in Sen. Dan Kotowski of Park Ridge and Republican Mike Sweeney of Arlington Heights. Where Kotowski [...]
Apparently the Mike Sweeney campaign isn’t too worried about looking hypocritical…. The 29-year-old has been attacking Senator Dan Kotowski (33rd district) all year over the issues of pay raises and taxes. Today the Senate Republicans dumped a bunch of money into Sweeney’s moribund campaign account in order to attack [...]
NESSY HEADLINE: GOPUSA ILLINOIS Editor Dave Diersen makes it clear that he has no problem with GOP candidates John McCain and Mark Kirk or the Republican National Committee accepting thousands upon thousands of dollars from anti-American hypocrites who pal around with unrepentant domestic terrorist Ayers or McCain’s [...]
Dan Curry, the taxpayer-funded spokesman for the supposedly “bipartisan” (or is it “nonpartisan”?) DuPage County Election Commission, is whining about the Tribune again. His complaints seem to center on the fact that, like the New York Times and every other legitimate news organization in existence, the Trib has [...]
If the Senator formerly known as a straight talker and his ‘aw shucks’ sidekick are going to focus on half-baked, barely credible “links” to bad characters and play six-degrees-of-baloney, Camp Obama is going to beat back those low blows with a few right and left hooks by discussing McCain’s [...]
The Obama-Biden campaign will be pushing back on John “Mr. Negative” McCain’s recent decision to go all-smear, all-the-time by pointing out Sen. McCain’s “poor judgment” in palling around with deregulated Savings and Loan frauds…
Obama-Biden communications director Dan Pfeiffer said: “While John McCain may want [...]
He said it…
Then again, as the Keating 5 scandal revealed, John McCain shows “poor judgment”.
