On November 17, 2010 12:38 PM in Countdown to Rahmageddon: New Residency Issues Revealed, they said:

It's looks to me, based upon the language of the law, that Rahm is ineligible. The law does not provide that someone who was born in Chicago, or formerly resided here, is eligible. Perhaps the state ...

On November 12, 2010 8:50 AM in Aldermen Eyeing An Alexi Mayoral Run?, they said:

Did I miss something? Is there a groundswell of public support out there for Rahm that I just don't see? Is anyone bothered by the fact that Rahm basically announced that he wanted the job, and ever...

On October 27, 2010 2:51 PM in Dart Not Running For Mayor, they said:

Seriously bummed here. Unless Lisa is planning to enter after next week's election, it looks like Rahm is muscling most of the otherwise viable candidates out of the race. ...

On September 22, 2010 6:42 PM in Wrigleyville Bomb Suspect Could Plead Entrapment, they said:

The jury will decide whether the case is "joke" and whether the defendant was entrapped. It's not above the government to entrap people, so there may be some merit to his defense. Of course, I don't ...

On September 17, 2010 11:52 AM in In Governor Race, Brady Still Leads In The Polls, they said:

I would have expected this race to be a lot closer at this stage, but Quinn has proven himself to be completely incapable of governing. The fiscal problems and rampant corruption in Illinois are so h...

On May 25, 2010 4:59 PM in Three Killed Near Rainbow Beach, they said:

These comments suggesting that "people don't care" becuase the victims were gang-bangers or persons of color (although the article does not mention the victims' races) are really tiresome. The sad fa...

On April 30, 2010 11:46 AM in New Crosswalk Law Protects Pedestrians, they said:

How have we managed to survive wihout such a law in the 110 or so years since the automobile was invented? I don't oppose laws aimed at increasing public safety, but only if there is actually a real...

On April 26, 2010 2:12 PM in Pago Pago: No More?, they said:

I first visited the Pago Pago when they had a restaurant in the Presidential Towers (!). I worked in the west Loop in the very late 1980s, and it was convenient, fast, and not that bad. When I c...

On April 22, 2010 2:17 PM in Blago Still Seeks Obama As Witness , they said:

If Blago is successful in persuading the judge that OBama's testimony is necessary for his defense, it's more likely he will give a videotaped deposition (like Clinton was required in the Paula Jones ...

On April 21, 2010 1:41 PM in Obama's LGBT Hospital Bill = Gay 'Roe v. Wade'?, they said:

Any representation that Andy Martin somehow represents the views of mainstream conservatives or Republicans is deceptive and dishonest. ...

On April 16, 2010 1:33 PM in Scenes From A Tea Party: Tax Day 2010, they said:

I walked through the Daley Center yesterday to see whether what is being written about these "tea party" rallies is true or not. My observations: 1. The tea party crowd was much more mature than th...

On April 13, 2010 10:28 AM in Automotive Orgs Battle Over 70 MPH Bill, they said:

Bravo! I will vote for any candidate that supports this proposal...it is long, long overdue. The thing to remember here is that raising the speed limit is unlikely to change any driver behavior (othe...

On March 23, 2010 11:20 AM in Mark Kirk Vows to Lead the Charge to Repeal Health Care Reform, they said:

There seems to be a lot of tunnel vision with respect to whether this is a good position for Kirk to take or not. The CNN Poll released yesterday indicated 59 percent of Americans opposed the Obama r...

On March 22, 2010 10:09 AM in Health Care Reform Passes (How The Local Reps Voted), they said:

Fair enough. The Democrats won the last election, and this is what we get, I guess. It should be no surpise to anyone. It think the Republican "blanket" opposition, however, is indicative of how ext...

On March 4, 2010 11:25 AM in Alexi's Media Blitz, they said:

So who will be the first Democrat to publicly urge Alexi to drop out of this Senate race?? I'm sure that the White House and the party bigwigs would love to replace him with someone who would have a ...
