While checking Snopes.com to see whether an email I received was a known urban legend (it had that feel) I happened upon the section devoted to Dan Quayle. While reading and laughing at a list of quotes that the site says are mostly true, it occurred to me that one major legacy George H.W. […]
If you haven’t had a chance yet, you should take the Bush-Cheney “Our Growing Economy Quiz”. The best part is that if you don’t get it all right, you get to “TRY IT AGAIN,” and again, and again, and again…. It’s the Bush-Cheney economic approach writ (large? small?) for the man on the […]

Doug Henk, Democrat for DuPage County Board, District 6, and former Dean supporter is holding a pizza party fundraiser June 1st.
