Don’t get bitten by that divot spanning Main Street and Lake Boulevard

I’ve become very concerned about the driving situation around here. The potholes are growing larger than the rats. Frightening.

Has Blagojevich been driven just plain crazy, or is the governor crazy like a fox?

Was it just my warped imagination, or did Gov. Rod Blagojevich over the weekend compare his situation to the unjust imprisonments of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi?
I’ve concluded that Blagojevich either has lost his mind or wants everyone to believe he has. It’s becoming surreal to watch the state’s top elected [...]

Should I panick about a ‘temporary’ gas shortage at tollway stop?

Driving north on I-294 this morning on my way to work, I noticed an overhead highway sign that flashed the message, “Hinsdale Oasis temporarily out of gas.”
Out of gas? What’s going on? Is this what I can expect from the Obama administration — a gas shortage? Is this the crisis that now-Vice President Joe Biden [...]

Obama skeptics down but not out in quest to deny him the presidency

The obstacles that Barack Obama’s critics will have to confront to prove he’s not eligible to serve as president grew more numerous today. It’s going to be incredibly difficult to persuade members of Congress who recently validated Obama’s election, U.S. Supreme Court justices who have consistently declined to take up legal challenges and a Supreme [...]

It’s a good thing some sex offenders are dumb enough to get themselves caught

It astounds me to continue to read stories about people who are arrested for soliciting sex from minors over the Internet.
Some of our papers recently published a report of Patrick J. Newton, a 28-year-old Western Springs resident who was arrested Jan. 2 in Elmhurst for allegedly using the Internet to solicit sex with a 15-year-old [...]

Illinois House of Representatives applies double hurt to Rod Blagojevich

Can you say “overkill”?
We all know that Gov. Rod Blagojevich was impeached last week by the Illinois House of Representatives. This, of course, was followed by a press conference in which Blagojevich reminded people of how truly awesome a governor he could be if it weren’t for those pesky members of the House sticking their [...]

‘True believers’ defy reality in clinging to Obama birth conspiracy theories

Only because I can’t get enough of your warm wishes and thoughtful sentiments, I’m going to repost a reply I made to a comment left the other day on another post from someone identified as mattie14 (her comment can be found in the blog post titled “Truth about Obama’s citizenship status will never satisfy hardcore [...]

This year’s cold and snowy winter is turning out to be its own worst enemy

The abundance of snow and frigid weather that we’ve had so far this month is having an unusual effect: it’s advancing global warming.
Now I know this sounds crazy, but stay with me here. When its really cold and snowy, it takes me additional time to scrape the frost and ice off my windows. In fact, [...]

To Blago: ‘I think that I shall never see a governor as arrogant as thee’

Is Gov. Rod Blagojevich aiming his press conferences at reporters or at English literature professors?
For the second time, Blagojevich last week recicted a poem in a press conference designed to address the latest news regarding the federal government’s investigation into corruption his office. A few weeks ago he graced us with some Rudyard Kipling, and [...]

Truth about Obama’s citizenship status will never satisfy hardcore skeptics

After posting a few items this week about the alleged Barack Obama birth scandal, the die-hard skeptics are coming out in full force. And it appears that nothing regarding what’s real and what isn’t when it comes to Obama’s citizenship status will make a bit of difference to them.
I’ve only heard from a few people, [...]
