Peter Roskam is seeking […]
[Update, Christine Cegelis’ blog says she had over 1,000 small donors this past quarter - and online donations came in to the tune of over $9,000 in less than 24 hours to exceed her $100,000 goal. Read more below.]
It appears that Christine Cegelis, who received 44.2% of the vote against incumbent Congressman Henry Hyde […]
ArchPundit is back from Colorado and (now) healthy enough to deliver a great piece on the Illinois gubernatorial race for 2006. Read it - it’s really good. My guess, to give a take on one question in comments, is that most people don’t hate Rod Blagojevich - they just don’t think much of […]
I have been writing in support of the DuPage Theatre’s restoration for almost a year now (see my first post here), so it was not without a little amazement that I looked at my email this morning, after a weekend without computer access, to find numerous blog comments and emails about the topic. I […]
I came back late yesterday (with personal ‘home’ work still to do) from a weekend without computer access - so I missed the stir of people commenting about the DuPage Theatre issue.

I don’t normally do this type of thing here - but who am I to deny OneMan’s musical request, so I’m calling this musical interlude a “political intermission.”
Here we go:
What is my total volume of music?
About 200-250 CDs and (don’t laugh) maybe 25 cassette tapes I’m guessing. It’s amazing how long cassettes […]
I just saw it on Chanel 5 News (which happened to be on in the background while I blogged). Illinois Senator and Democratic Whip Dick Durbin apologized for his recent comments about the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, where Senator Durbin said,
