Warning: This video of Peoria Central grad Shaun Livingston suffering a dislocated knee during a Los Angeles Clippers game is NOT for the squeemish.
I have to hand it to Shaun. He took it like a man. I’d be screaming for my mommy.
At least nothing was broken, unlike the career-ending injury suffered by Redskins QB Joe […]
C.J. doesn’t think much of anything has changed after Tuesday’s at-large elections:
If the top five vote-getters end up being the five at-large council members in the general election, it’s not really going to change the makeup of the council. Spain is pretty much an even swap for John Morris. There is no one quite […]
IEEEEEEE! Oh my God, will someone one please pull this red-hot poker out of my eyeball?! What’s that? There’s no red-hot poker impaled four inches deep into my skull? Oh, I’m sorry. The pain in my brain must be caused by something else, then. What could it be? Oh, perhaps it’s caused by my hearing […]

This time it’s planned. It’s an upgrade from the 0.9 something or other version that was very much in beta version. The new one is version 1.1.1. It’s more fully functional and works with more plugins.
It’s my hope that it’s far less buggy. One of the things I’m going to do post-upgrade […]
It’s 10:30 p.m. and the polls have been closed for three hours. Not one single people news organization has posted election results on their web sites.
I was able to catch just a glimpse of WMBD 31’s 10 p.m. broadcast, and I recall that Gary Sandberg, Ryan Spain and George Jacob were the top three vote […]
From C.J.’s blog:
I’ll be on WCBU tonight with Jonathan Ahl, first as a guest on “Outside the Horseshoe” at 6 p.m., and then in the studio to comment on the election results as updates are provided.
Kudos to C.J. and Jonathan. I’ll be covering the actual council meeting, so I’ll just have to assume the duo […]
There’s a lot of chatter out there about bloggers now have immunity from libel suits. It’s an issue that has come up once or twice on this blog, usually ending with hurt feelings and bannings. Hold your horses, folks. There isn’t going to be any change in The Rules any time soon, libelous comments will […]
Jonathan Ahl is reporting that WMBD 1470 newsie and former news director Dave Dahl is leaving Peoria for a job with the Illinois Radio Network.
Well, damnation. I’m glad for Dave, as this is obviously a step up for him. He now will be covering news all across the state and will be heard on radio […]
Kudos to PollyPeoria, who links and prints excerpts from the Wall Street Journal’s interview with Caterpillar CEO Jim Owens.
We’re going to have a lot more employment growth outside than inside the US. We [Americans] are 5% of the world’s population. And today, we’re more than 20% of global gross domestic product. So it shouldn’t shock […]

We must respect the other fellow’s religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE FILED OVER IDENTITY THEFT — Remember last fall when IDOC lost employee information such as Social Security numbers, names, and rates of pay on over 10,000 DOC and DJJ employees? Remember when Director Walker wrote to legislative leaders in response and notified them that the Department had taken measures to improve security […]
Via WMBD Radio:
Another description of the suspect in the sexual assault of a 13 year old last week in the North Valley area has been released by Peoria Police. The victim was interviewed by police over the weekend and described the attacker as a white male in his 40’s weighing about 200 pounds. He was […]
In reading today’s Word on the Street column, and stuck in the middle of an otherwise harmless plea for people to go out and vote tomorrow is this ill-advised about how taxes work:
Sure, these elections aren’t as sexy as the public sparing between Illinois Democratic Sen. Barack Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton. […]
I’ve always allowed anonymous comments, and I intend to continue. But there’s a downside to allowing anonymous stuff: Infiltration by campaign workers.
With big corporations now hiring public relations firms to pay fake bloggers to plant favorable opinions of the businesses online, many political bloggers are concerned that candidates, too, will hire people to pretend […]
