Gov. Gun-grab

Wednesday, March 31st, 2004

I’ve called him “Governor Blabliarsnitch.” I’ve called him “Governor
Chicagovich.” I’ve even called him “Chicago” Rod. But Spoons hit the
nail on the head, so to speak: “Governor Haircut.”
Gov. Blagojevich earned Spoon’s ire
with his
threats to veto several pieces of legislation, including one that would
protect homeowners who use a gun in self defense and another that would
let […]

Oxymorons, or is that just “morons?”

Wednesday, March 31st, 2004

Last post of the day: At my job, we are encouraged to be “aggressively
friendly” with our customers.
Heh.
“Is there anything ELSE I can help you with, you $#*&@! moron?”

GOP gets its way, LP and third-parties get ignored

Wednesday, March 31st, 2004

I’m not as ticked off are are Jeff Trigg and the Libertarian Party
about the
imminent change to state election law that would move the filing
deadline back to allow George Bush to get on the ballot in Illinois.
It would be one thing if the State Election Commission let Bush on the
ballot despite the deadline mandated by […]

Posting will resume tomorrow

Tuesday, March 30th, 2004

Sorry for the lack of posts about matters *other* than this site and
it’s problems. I’ll try to post about something important tomorrow. I’m
just too busy today.
New visitors: Feel free to search this site. I suggest searching for the
words “drew” and “barrymore.”
I do write about interesting stuff. I swear.

As Ricky noticed, it’s taking a very long
time for my blog to download. It’s not my server, cause other stuff is
downloading just fine. I thought it was the Ads by Google feature, but
getting rid of that hasn’t helped. It started before I added the
Bloglines blogroll, so that isn’t it.
Any suggestions?

Monday, March 29th, 2004

I see by the “recently referred” list at the bottom, right-hand of my
site, Peoria Pundit receive one referral from a little blog
that you may have heard about. In a
bandwidth panic, I checked and couldn’t find o.n.o single link.
I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.
*sigh*
If anyone can explain how I can get a […]

… but this

would scare the bejeezus out of me.
I was out running today and a Mechanicsburg Policeman pulled over in
his cruiser alongside me. He asked me if I had a website. I said,
“Yeah”. He said he saw it the other day searching for […]

Typical Cardinals fan

I appreciate the sentiment behind the “Go USA” sign, but as a Cubs fan,
I couldn’t resist.
For those Cardinal fans who are wondering what I find so amusing: The
correct spelling of “morons.” Get it?

? /Journal Star/ (Terry Bibo): Eagle’s shame or badge of honor?

An Eagle Scout in Edwards, Ill., was kicked out of his troop because of
his support of Scouting for All, a group that opposed the BSA refusal to
