Question of the day
Wednesday, May 31, 2006 I know that we already had a Barack Obama question just last week, but I had a thought last night and wanted to see what you think. I’m wondering whether the latest hype over a possible Obama run for president is just a ruse to promote his new book. After all, publicly mulling a presidential bid would get him a lot more publicity than just talking about some book that he had written. Or, is that all backwards? Is the book a jumping off point for a possible presidential run? Or is it something else?

Something’s not right here
Wednesday, May 31, 2006 Why was this Corrections official allowed to lobby for a couple of big Corrections vendors? Illinois prison officials said Tuesday they are conducting an internal investigation into a Downstate deputy warden whose relationship with New Mexico’s prison chief led to his suspension and an investigation in that state. There’s more. Read it all.

More bad news for the guv’s plan
Wednesday, May 31, 2006 Have there been any positive editorials or columns about this turkey? From today’s Daily Southtown: While there may be some financial benefit to privatizing some segments of government, the public shouldn’t be fooled into thinking this plan offers anything more than temporary cash relief. Blagojevich doesn’t have to worry because he probably won’t be governor when this lottery plan runs its course. Maybe the pawn shops will still be open. Meanwhile, the governor won’t release details about how he arrived at that $10 billion figure. The Blagojevich administration said Tuesday it won’t release a consultant’s work on how much money the state could make by selling or leasing the state lottery. The administration compared such a move to sharing playbooks with rival sports teams. He is not inspiring confidence in his plan.
