Robert Schillerstrom, to my knowledge, isn’t an investment banker. That’s good. He believes the DuPage County Technology Park is a still a good investment. He’s wrong.
No buildings, but signs. No technology businesses, but plenty of dollars spent in landscaping. The park has cost […]

DuPage County Board Candidate Blasts Technology Park Spending
Says “Good Money Thrown After Bad In An ‘Unplugged’ Technology Park”
Naperville, IL — Hiram Wurf, Democratic Candidate for DuPage County Board District 5, today questioned the priorities of […]
On July 3rd members of the Naperville Township (and Lisle Township among others) Democrats will be at Rib Fest serving beer. While some might find this a worthwhile event to go to with just the information provided, all money the Democrats earn will be going to the Exchange Club, helping to eliminate child abuse. […]
I haven’t read all of David Brook’s columns by any means, nor heard all of his NPR interviews (though I’ve caught some, I’m a big E.J. Dionne fan), and I only have stomached some of his New York Times articles, so I can’t fully judge him. But I’ve never thought of him as more […]
Barack Obama, who is leading by quite a bit in polls over Jack Ryan, would normally be considered foolish to debate his opponent. It would be assumed that Obama has the most to lose.

Also, DailyKos picked up my tip, […]
If you haven’t read Josh Marshall’s latest you should. It is a more up-to-date version of his Hill News article (which should also be read). Marshall takes Bush to task for Bush’s recent comment regarding prisoner torture: “The authorization I issued was that anything we did would conform to U.S. law and […]
A lot has been written on the Bush campaign claiming the mantle of Reagan. I found a similarity in today’s Paul Krugman piece about the Reagan economy in the New York Times:
“The secret of the long climb after 1982 was the economic plunge that preceded it. By the end of 1982 the U.S. economy […]
Hi All,
I want to thank everyone for jumping in on the unofficial Democratic National Convention website problem I mentioned last night, and getting the word out to link to the official Democratic National Convention website and contact the media that have it wrong. It’s been obscenely busy for me this last 24 hours and, […]
