Wow. Thanks for making an entire post out of my question! Isn't it also earned income when someone pays your tax bill for you? If not, I am going to recharacterize my income as my proportional share ...

I did not go to the game, but I have friends who did. They thought it was awesome and didn't really care about the playground rules. Not sure if it makes sense every year, but every so often . . . Il...

Perhaps the pure number of police is not the issue. Perhaps you could not possibly have enough police in some places. Are you willing to contemplate that, or do you only have ignorant, punk-assed comm...

So, how far behind will we be if we don't give a shit and never go?...

They already are there. The districts are smaller, the beats are smaller and they have more police per capita. What your "big picture" view misses is that there *is* crime on the North Side, and if so...

Nimrata? That's kind of a hot porn name, isn't it? Of course, so is Nikki. I feel like someone should get pissed about this too. I mean, I know that I did not add anything about race, but, you know, ...

65 ILCS 5/3.1-10-5. Interestingly, there is a specific subsection to address people serving in the military. They must (1) be a resident of the municipality immediately prior to active duty, reside el...

But but but . . . he couches his education funding appeals in terms of SLAVERY! My God, for someone who is normally pretty levelheaded, you are out of your mind with this fairness-to-Meeks kick. Serio...

That's fine. I am not trying to be a shill for unlikely. That being said, a more "fair" reading of his "knowing" of Meeks might be that he is very familiar with Meeks' public image. After all, he's no...

Wait, I need to break bread with every politician I might or might not vote for? Do you think Obama would prefer lunch or dinner? Breakfast is tough because we have a toddler and our start times are a...

None of us is in a position to say whether Meeks believes the Gospel. That being said, his public behavior is certainly not Christ-like. That is not an unfair criticism. Frankly, we are all responsib...
