by Scott Creighton
(and at 5:30pm 6:50pm by Thursday morning, HuffPo has STILL not got a story up about it. Their front page has a pressing story about a North Korean woman found guilty of adultery. Guess Obama needs to invade, huh?)
I guess the state Supreme Court didn’t like Lisa Madigan’s attempt to mangle the rule [...]

There are no Sunnis no Shia; no republicans no democrats; no Jews and Palestinians…
There are people that are IN the club and those [...]

M. Madigan, Ill. State Speaker, May Move to Impeach Blagojevich To Get His Daughter that Senate Seat

(You think we should have a look at that list of “acceptable candidates” that Rahm gave Blago’s people, before we allow this guy to shove the governor out of the way for his little girl’s benefit? Would that be wise, you think? If his daughter, Ill. AG Lisa Madigan, is on that list… [...]
