Wednesday, Apr 20, 2005 Willy Nilly heaps praise (I think) on Congressman Ray LaHood for introducing a bill to ban lame duck congressmen from filing ethics complaints against other Congressmen. Modern Vertebrate reports on a LaRouche comeback candidate. Retired coal miner and LaRouche supporter Vic Roberts (D) says on his Web site that he’s running for Congress in 19th. In 2003, Roberts, you may remember, dropped his bid for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate for health reasons. The candidate’s website is here. Hiran Wurf uses his own blog to answer Tuesday’s “Question of the Day.” The Peoria Pundit is experiencing “too much drama” in his life to blog at the moment. OneMan ridicules Jim Oberweis for attacking teachers. CrossBlogger “Chris Rhodes” has a busted phone and a busted ‘puter. The Archpundit is back on a semi-regular schedule. Illinipundit takes a look at a recent Capitol Fax story (he’s evidently a subscriber). Weinberger wants fewer bus stops. The Inside Dope has a whole bunch of stuff. Bloggers, please feel free to publicize other stories in the comments section that I neglected to mention.

From what I’ve read on the blog, it appears we are on the same wavelength lately. You’ve mentioned the ACT and Durbin items in your subscription, as I have in my blog.
I guess we are both always on the lookout for preposterous remarks by our elected officials. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel sometimes.

Ralph blogs that the image of female genitalia has miraculously appeared in a Chicago overpass.

The Sun-Times says that Henry Hyde will be remembered as “a good man who did good” — I remember him differently.

Note to Rich Miller - once you came to Loyola Univ. (I think during 1995)and said during the lecture in my political science class that Rod Blagojevich is up and coming politician. I clearly remember that. You were right back then? What do you say now? Is he going to be reelected and where is he going now?

Wow. You have a great memory. Thanks for the post.

You could have warned us all?
Thanks. Thanks a lot. ;)

I didn’t think he’d ever go this far. Bright future, yes. Governor? No way.

Rich,
same person from above about Loyola Univ. I value your judgment. and I end up working for the state when his administration started. still I am leaving soon the public sector and going back to private. But if I ever see you in person - I could tell you a good story. let the destiny work itself. maybe it happends and maybe not. :)

I had a little bit of fun with the history of popes named Benedict- complete with a strangulation, a poisoning an admitted jackass and what may or may not have been a 12 year old pope who turned out to be the Grover Cleveland of the papacy.
But maybe I should be blogging on Rich M’s newfound Loyola alum stalker…
