IL GOP Gubernatorial Candidates
Look Like Asses After Radio Debate

Yesterday the 4 candidates for governor and shmucko the clown (Andy Martin), faced off in a debate on WBEZ radio. After the contest front runner an current State Treasurer, Judy Baar Topinka, left the room and didn't take questions from the media. Instead of answering the media questions, the other candidates decide to have a "rip Judy a new one" session. The after debate event looked like a teenage girls "bitch session" and made the GOP candidates look pitiful. Topinka eventually returned to take media questions, but more likely to take advantage of how pathetic her opponents looked.

C'mon gang, the enemy is not each other, it's the anti-business governor whose own incompetence is giving the IL GOP a golden opportunity to erase the George Ryan era. Every one of the Republicans running for Governor would be an enormous improvement over Blago. Let's not come out of the primary with wounds that won't heal for the general election.

Kudos to Uncle Abe and Me

Check out the recent published commentaries by Abraham Miller and yours truly. Abe's piece is honestly the best insight I've read regarding Islamic reaction to the Danish cartoons. It's a must read. http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=21345

My most recent piece can be found http://www.infoisrael.net/cgi-local/text.pl?source=4/b/viii/200220061
Many of my Jewish Democratic friends will hate this piece because they enjoying living in fantasy land. Which is exactly what the commentary is about.

The Olympics

Can the USA athletes be more overrated? You have to give credit to Bode Miller. He hasn't won dingleberries, but has become a millionaire over the past few years for simply being an a--hole. Between Bode, Davis and Hedrick, we sure can't blame other countries for thinking we are obnoxious and arrogant.

On better note: good Luck to Kosher cutey Sasha Cohen who after today's short program has a good shot at gold in figure skating.
