That Oberweis is such a douche with those stupid milk commercials. It all taste the same who cares. I always tell my girlfriend that I prefer to have my milk directly from the tap. (wink wink nudge nudge)

Oh, and if you look at Burnham's Plan of Chicago, he anticipated a series of ring roads around Chicago. The Tri-State is one, and another is basically on the same alignment as the Parkway.

Ward, the Parkway goes, no matter who's in that office. The money is allocated, the only thing holding it up is Springfield not passing a capital bill. Expect a Record of Decision from Federal Highways pretty soon.

Honestly, if there was some crazy assed recall election, and Ryan ran for governor from his jail cell, I'd vote for him. He's personally my favorite Illinois Republican since Abraham Lincoln.

We Republicans are continually let down by the Illinois GOP powerbrokers. They keep serving up jerks as candidates, or fake Republicans that are really Democrats. With Oberweis, we have an actual Republican but the guy is in the jerk category. It was sadly predictable to see him beat fellow Republican Chris Lauzen in the primary, via unfair mudslinging and outright lies about Lauzen. Oh, and for you city lovers and sensible urban planners, note that Oberweis is going to push for Dennis Hastert's dopey Prairie Parkway, the expressway through the cornfields that will only aggravate sprawl. Hour-long commutes, anyone? And screw that environment. Oh, and Oberweis will have plenty contracts for his Prairie "Porkway" friends.

It will cost Kane County alone almost half a million dollars. Thanks, Denny!

I wonder how much tax money is being wasted having two elections. This is stupid. I dont live in the district but turnout wont be over 25% for the special election what a joke. a huge waste of money
