    A $100,000 state grant for a botanic garden in Englewood that then-state Sen. Barack Obama awarded in 2001 to a group headed by a onetime campaign volunteer is now under investigation by the Illinois attorney general amid new questions, prompted by Chicago Sun-Times reports, about whether the money might have been misspent. The garden was never built. And now state records obtained by the Sun-Times show $65,000 of the grant money went to the wife of Kenny B. Smith, the Obama 2000 congressional campaign volunteer who heads the Chicago Better Housing Association, which was in charge of the project for...

Today, at practice, he was rounding 3rd and heading home when he realized the catchers helmet/mask were parked right in his basepath exactly in the spot where he would normally start his slide. The relay was coming in from 2nd base and my son realizing he could run past the helmet and still score barely, did just that...

    Last January, I received an email that explained that most Poinsetta's come from Ecke Greenhouses. And that a lot of the Ecke fortune has been spent supporting Planned Parenthood and other groups that are anti-life. Having recently bought poinsettas, as part of the celebration of our Lords miraculous birth, I had wished that someone had told me the truth sooner. So this year I'm telling as many people as possible. Before they go shopping.

    I was hoping the "Stephen Johnson for Supreme Court" signs weren't referring to the same Stephen Johnson I'd met. Unfortunately, they were. Stephen Johnson was the state senator for my legislative district when I lived in and taught in Auburn. After teaching 90 fifth- graders a unit on U.S. government, I did a request through the state Legislature Web site to have a representative come speak. They sent Johnson. Johnson entered my classroom and stated the following: When asked by a student, what would you change about Washington? His reply: "I'd get rid of all the Democrats." What's the hardest...
  • McGavick sued over Safeco payout

    Seattle PI ^ | August 2, 2006 | Neil Modie
    A prominent Seattle lawyer and a scion of a prominent Seattle family are suing a prominent politician -- U.S. Senate candidate Mike McGavick -- over his lucrative retirement package from a prominent Seattle company, Safeco. The intriguing cast of characters came together Tuesday in a shareholder lawsuit, heavy with political overtones, against Safeco's board of directors and McGavick, a Republican who was its chief executive. It was filed in federal court in Seattle. The complaint said Safeco paid the candidate $28.4 million in early 2006 in an illegal "waste of corporate assets" after he resigned to run against Democratic Sen....

    Nader for President 2004 email message ^ | June 9, 2006 | Ralph Nader
    Dear Friend, She sat on the board of Wal-Mart for six years. She is Rupert Murdoch’s new political buddy and beneficiary of his fund-raising draw. She voted for Bush’s illegal, immoral, and fabricated war in Iraq. And she supports NAFTA and GATT-WTO. She does not challenge the bloated, corruption-ridden, redundant military budget. She does not challenge hundreds of billions of dollars in corporate welfare - subsidies, giveaways, bailouts... She does next to nothing against the corporate crime wave sweeping through the inner cities of New York state and around the country - the poor pay more and are defrauded more......

Pittsburgh (2-0; 3): Two games, two dominant victories, but the toughest test to date comes vs. the Patriots. 2.
