I am curious who will be the first Democrat to step forward demanding Madigan step down.

I think people don’t think hard enough that madigan isn’t really involved in this mess. It’s easy to call for his removal/resignation just because of the connection, but when you’ve been in politics as long as he is, you can connect almost anything to him. Let the man be.

Perhaps you missed Fairley and Drury doing that about 11 months ago.

Short Staffer, I think you gotta do a lot better as a defender of Madigan. Defend him like your job depended on it.

Will Comcast carry Marquee? Be hilarious if they don’t work out a deal.

On a lighter note, how about a pool to guess how long it will take comcast to get Mr. Miller back up? I’ll take 2pm today. I am an optimist.

Watch what *does* happen.

No one wants to follow the lead of Allen Skillicorn and Grant Wehrli.

Every other day they’re demanding someone resigns or quits.

If they want to look ridiculous and over-eager, they’ll be like Skillicorn and Wehrli.

Plus, the marker is already set;

Indictment equals resignation. That’s indictment, not even conviction.

I’m starting to believe again in my Salukis. They’re rollin’.

You know, that is until a Big Ten school comes in and poaches our court and coaching talent…again.

Question for the legal experts here: If Hannig and Stermer are complicit is covering up a crime, what legal action can be brought against them at this time?

Moby: That was some game last night. Illini could have won by 15 if not for the usual Badger/Kohl Center officials.

==Oscar Mayer is hiring Weinermobile drivers.==

Sounds like a swell job for Bruce.

Comment by Streator Curmudgeon Thursday, Jan 9, 20 @ 10:39 am
Great win for the Illini. But hey, they will need to hit better than 53 percent on free throws to have a successful season.

I love Comcast like a sailor loves a leaky lifeboat.

If I were single, catless and *much* younger I’d go for it…
Heck, I’d do it now for free, for a weekend, if they’d have me.
