You might forgive a person who wondered if the DuPage County Board accomplishes anything. Most government officials like to trumpet their successes - and while it isn’t always what you’d like to know, you do learn something. I just went to the section on DuPage County Board District 5 and found the Fall […]
John Kerry really nails it with this part of his speech given in Milwaukee - best I’ve heard from him yet (I caught part of it on NPR I think). He calls it “A Fresh Start for Working Women” - I’d call it “When you’ve barely got time to sleep - who’s got time […]
I caught Cooking With Kerry tonight on Prairie Home Companion (it seems it was last week’s show). Extremely funny, and bizarrely endearing. The Kerry campaign ought to buy radio time and play it.

DuPage County Board Candidate Hiram Wurf will hold a press conference Tuesday, October 26 at 12 PM at the DuPage Center […]

It’s hard to envision this one being a simple mistake….
How much is democracy worth to you? Donate that amount, within the limits of the law ($2,000), to Christine Cegelis.
I’m both incredibly humbled and really quite honored that the efforts that so many of you have made in my campaign, and the support you have given me, have born such fruit. I cannot thank you all enough for helping me to get to the point that the Chicago Tribune recognizes our effort (see […]
Political Wire cites the Washington Post saying pretty much what I said before the debates began, and during them. They weren’t going to sway too many people, although they could shore up the voting base. What little swaying was available went to Kerry. This is too divided an electorate with pretty clear […]
As Ramadan approaches a number of Muslim groups have asked the U.S. Justice Department to create a list of ’safe’ Muslim charitable groups that they can donate to without having to worry about donating to groups with suspected ties to terrorism.
