Reader comments closed for the weekend

Friday, Jul 18, 2008

* Maybe, just maybe, the summer has finally started for us Statehouse types. I haven’t seen any late afternoon press releases from the governor yet, but I’d hate to jynx us all with a flat-out prediction that we won’t be back in session any time soon.

Anyways, head yourself to Illinoize this weekend. And don’t forget to buy an ad at InsiderzExchange, or at least check out the ads that are there, like this one.

* Anyway, here’s to better days…


Well, I see no reason as for why it cannot be
A little time, a little trouble, a better day
