  • Political fallout

    Remember I said I was going to do some political volunteering? Well, the person they said who needs media help has announced a run in the same congressional district my dad lives in. My dad is a lifelong Republican, but …

  • Pirates and other tidbits

    I figured that since I can't come up with normal blogs anymore, a bunch of short ones will have to do. In fact, this solution might be better. It was a great day for the U.S. when the Navy Seals took down those Somali p…

  • Obama, Michael Moore, Life and Everything

    While I still try to figure out what I'm going to do blog-wise I thought I'd put this up, I know it's cribbed, but I think that's the author's goal: to get as many readers as possible. Before you hit the delete button ta…

  • Bye, bye, Blago

    We will have a new governor soon. Maybe within hours of writing this. They have packed up Blago's belongings at the governor's mansion and lt. governor Pat Quinn is standing by to take the oath of office. This is a great…

  • New beginning

    Great excitement here for the Inauguration. Glued to the TV screen. Edit: Yahoo! That was great. Justice Roberts got the oath of office wrong, but Obama was cool and just waited a second before repeating it back correc…

    We've got problems in my home state. The biggest part is that everyone wants to butt in and tell us how to manage our affairs. We have this awful governor, I'm sure you've heard of him--Rod Blagojevich. He's been stalked…

  • Happy New Year

    This is supposed to be a day when we dissect the old Year and talk about what went wrong and then enthuse about how 2009 is going to be better. Enough with that noise. I know that 2008 had all kinds of disapointments mai…

  • Our Eliot Spitzer

    It's only been a couple days since Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich was nabbed for trying to sell President-Elect Obama's vacant Senate seat, and the phrase "typical Chicago politician" has been bandied about on every news prog…

  • Dark question

    I know I said I wasn't going to write about the election anymore, but something came up on Facebook that severely freaked me out. A woman who once worked me at the Chicago Sun-Times and is now a poet and teacher, wrote…

  • Shakin' all over

    I took a look at the videos we have of the Obama rally (and this is the last of it, really). I almost wasn't going to post it at all because it's so shaky. Lots of poeple jostling us around. There's a lot of other stuff …
