…I’ll be an Illinoisan once again, at least in terms of where I sleep more often than not. On paper, I am still one even as I type this — I never changed my voter and car registration away from Carbondale.
The best thing about my new apartment in Edwardsville? <Homer Simpson>Mmmmmm, three minute commute</Homer Simpson>
Expect only sporadic posting here for the first half of this upcoming week. Along with the move, I’ve got a few other important things that’ll take up most of my time.
He’s also Michael Steele’s link to the streets, Nut Gingrich’s link to the streets and Bill O’Reilly’s link to the streets. Musn’t be much of a street if you gotta go through Al Sharpton to get to it.
Here we are, smack dab in the middle of an election season. Labour needs every vote it can get, and to lure some away from the Liberal Democrats and maybe the Tories. So why are they want mosque patrons explicitly not to vote for the BNP? Why not compel them to vote FOR Labour? And really, will that be such a hard sell? That’s like the Democrat Party going into an AME church on the south side of Chicago to tell the preacher to advise his patrons not to join the KKK.
(3) Nothing to see here, move along. Actually, there is quite a lot to see here — I’ve been fearfully predicting things like this for quite a few years now.

(5) I don’t trust Dick Morris any further than I could throw him, even after his supposed “falling out” with the Clinton White House. I disagree with Byron York’s implication that the OKC bounce that Clinton got and Morris manipulated was ultimately responsible for Clinton’s 1996 re-election. The reason that happened was that: (1) The economy was better than it was four years prior, and (2) The Republicans nominated Bob Dole. Simple as that. Proof that voter backlash against the right didn’t happen in ’96 was that the GOP picked up two Senate seats, and retained control of the U.S. House, (though the GOP did lose a few seats, a pittance compared to their big gains in 1994), on the very same election day.
