Blagorahma [Dan Collins]

Fortunately, folks like Ed Morrissey aren’t letting the issue just fade away: Could Blagojevich and his legal team be sending a message to Barack Obama? Take me down, and some of your team will go with me. It sounds like the Chicago way, a strategy that Blagojevich might employ. Who would know the dirt better than Blagojevich? Unfortunately, Obama can’t do much to call off the dogs now even if

Biased Reporting in Iowahawk Piece about Santa [Dan Collins; UPDATED]

Iowahawk takes up Christopher “Santa” Kringle’s request to Congress for a slice of the bailout pie, here. Iowahawk credulously and uncritically accepts the testimony of Toyweek columnist Charles Kessler in this passage: Veteran market watcher Charles Kessler of ToyWeek said SantaCorp’s labor cost structure was a significant factor in its recent struggles. “After the 1982 strike SantaCorp offered the UET a generous pension plan promising free lifetime candy canes and

Small changes in Apophis’ path that could make the difference between a hit or a miss are possible, according to Jon Giorgini, a planetary analyst in NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. “We have not

Chicago Style, with All Da Fixin’s [Dan Collins]

At first it seemed that the outrageous acts of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich had resulted in an epiphany of transparency among some of the most reflexive stalwarts of the state’s Democratic junta. Close on the heels of the Governor’s arrest for, in part, trying to sell the President-elect’s Senate seat, the state’s senior Senator, Dick Durbin called loudly for a special election to be held to fill the position. Soon,

Teh Rape of the Scarf [Dan Collins]

A Muslim woman arrested for refusing to take off her head scarf at a courthouse security checkpoint said Wednesday that she felt her human and civil rights were violated. A judge ordered Lisa Valentine, 40, to serve 10 days in jail for contempt of court, said police in Douglasville, a city of about 20,000 people on Atlanta’s west suburban outskirts. Valentine violated a court policy that prohibits people from wearing
