Don’t forget I’m on the air from 9 p.m. to midnight tonight (Sunday) on WXCL FM 104.9. I’ll be spinning records (figuratively speaking; it’s all computerized) and giving good talk in between. And I’m still on the air on Wednesdays with B.J. Stone from 4:30-6 p.m. every Wednesday.
I’m also going to be running a […]
Tom Roeser of the Chicago Sun-Times has an
idea about who could beat Dick Durbin, now that the once-popular senator embarrassed himself by comparing U.S. Soldiers to Nazi, Soviet gulag guards and members of the Khmer Rouge:
Some say the best challenger would be Rep. John Shimkus of Collinsville, a Republican incumbent since 1997. Of Lithuanian descent […]
That’s the impression I got reading a recent column by the (Springfield) State Journal-Register’s Bernard Schoenburg:
[Jim] Oberweis, one of the three announced Republican candidates for governor in a field that will continue to grow, has been endorsed by Renew Illinois, a political action committee whose chairman is Jack Roeser. Roeser for years has contended the […]
Peoria’s most famous celebrity resident was struck by a car while she standing on a street corner on Peoria’s South Side yesterday. She didn’t even try to get out of the way. But all she suffered was a couple of broken toes and a fractured ankle.
The driver, an 89-year-old Canton woman, wasn’t ticketed, because […]
The Chicago Tribune’s John Kass says reporters are now asking openly whether Richard M. Daley is going to be indicted now that patronage boss Don Tomczak pleaded guilty and is cooperating with the Feds.
My two cents: For reporters to let those words come out of their mouths during a press conference, with cameras running, is […]
One week ago, I criticized Copley’s Doug Finke for focusing all his attention on making Gov. Blagojevich look bad. My position was that there are other worthy targets besides Blago (although God knows his administration is a target-rich environment).
Today Finke manages to say not one bad word against Chicago Rod, but instead focuses his attention […]

Are any readers having problems seeing all or some of the the Amazon ads. On my home PC, I can see some of the Amazon ads — like the search bar and the list of books. But I cannot see the ads for the router and the Harry Turtledove and Robert […]
Via the Chicago Tribune:
[Donald] Tomczak admitted leading a political army of as many as 250 city workers who campaigned door-to-door for the mayor and candidates for Congress, statewide offices and the City Council after getting marching orders from officials in the mayor’s office. He said similar political street operations were run by other city employees.

A Storm in the Port says “nicely done” to a new Peoria blog:
Someone has started a Shame on Peoria blog, apparently in retaliation for the city’s “war on basketball hoops and downtrodden houses”.

At this stage is the race for governor of Illinois, the big question in the GOP is which of the many contenders stands the best chance of defeating Rod Blagojevich.
That is question to be answered not so much by candidates’ stands on the issues, or even their popularity with voters. Instead, the question seems to […]
That’s the question asked by a reader, who emailed this:
I was just told that the PJStar is going to charge $150.00 to print an obituary starting in September! Do you or any of your readers know if this is true?
We’ll find out in September, or earlier if someone at the Journal Star wants to make […]
Remember the 15-year-old thug who was arrested for carrying a gun outside Greeley School? He had been the intended victim of the other kid who fired a gun inside Woodruff High School.
Omar Porter is 16 now and got sentenced to 18 months in prison yesterday for unlawful possession of a firearm. With credit for time […]
The city argued in court Friday that the Grandview Hotel needs to be shut down as a nuisance. To achieve that result, Peoria Police testified about a marijuana bust. But the hotel owner’s attorney questioned the accuracy of a field test performed on the weed. Judge John Barra granted a delay to conduct more tests. […]
