High Praise to Abdon Pallasch for his Sun Times feature that tells the true story of John T. Kelly’s Campaign in the 3rd Congressional District. Good on you, Abdon!

Anybody know what happened with Sen. Mattie Hunter during yesterday’s Ceasefire press conference? I’ve heard so many different stories.

Whatever happened to all of the Federal investigations into this administration (i.e. pay-to-play, hiring practices, etc)?

Nurses from Stroger Hospital protested yesterday at City Hall — insulted that John Stroger chose Rush over Stroger Hospital.
Stroger’s doctor’s defense? His medical records were at Rush. Which only begs the question: why is Stroger getting not only his emergency care but also his routine care at Rush and not Stroger, if the hospital he named after himself is one of the best in the world as he claims?

It is a true testimony to the Claypool nerds and who ever gives the nurses ideas to pimp Stroger on what hospital his doctor picks when the man has a stroke.
No one will be surprised when the nerd goes down on Tuesday

I’ve not read of it on here yet but it appears the ESA is pushing for reimbursement of attorney’s fees due to the court case over the anti-videogame legislation that it had successfully blocked in federal court.

Not sure if this has hit the news in Chicago, but it is getting pretty good play out here in the Rocky Mountain State. Our favorite race bating member of Congress, Tom Tancredo had an altercation with your Rep. Luis Gutierrez. Here is a link:
