Today’s Jotham Stein’s birthday - happy birthday Jotham!
Illinois Fourth District Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez reportedly withdrew his endorsement of neighboring incumbent Democratic Congressman Dan Lipinski (District 3) today. Lipinski, son of a long-time congressman of the same name, has received criticism for favoring President Bush’s agenda at the expense of 3rd District Democrats.

Having established its GOP pandering credentials with a terrible Op-Ed writer, today the New York Times talks about the ‘Bush economic miracle’ which (not so miraculously) most of us missed.
I had thought to write my own bit about this travesty - but Dean Baker beat me to it and did a better job than I […]
I’m one of Matt’s readers that missed the “the definitive article on ketchup” - but now I’ve read it I have to say “wow” - it really is worth reading.
Some thoughts:

Plainfield Rob caught the numbers before I saw them on this one. As he points out compared to John Laesch’s last quarter there’s improvement in John’s $67,000 for the quarter (Laesch raised $22,000 more among other things) - but I can’t see how that will be enough. Beating Jotham Stein’s declining fundraising in […]
Last quarter Democrat Jotham Stein raised $61,555.23 in total contributions (including donating almost $2,500 to himself).

WWF Match up:
State Senator Chris “CPA” Lauzen, CPA
Vs.
Businessman Jim “Milk Man” Oberweis
Chris Lauzen [shouting to ref]: “The Oberweis-[Bill] Pascoe tandem loaded up a quiver full of poison-tipped arrows and has been firing them right at me.”
[Lauzen campaign manager Kevin Reger, ring side, yells for Chris to “duck.” The […]
Barack Obama has used pieces of this - but I don’t think I’ve heard him put them together:
“I think family is important and experience matters. But serving the public is about more than family and experience. My cousin Dick Cheney has more experience than most people in Washington - but that doesn’t make […]
