* I’m taking at least this week off because the Democratic National Convention will likely drown out most state news. The Republican convention may not do so, simply because of the way things are in Illinois. I’ll make a decision later this week, and I’ll try to keep a half an eye on things and will post if necessary. Of course, our numerous automated news feeds will be running throughout, which makes this website more valuable than most places you can visit during my personal hiatus.

Meanwhile, make sure to visit Illinoize and dont’ forget to check the ads at InsiderzExchange. It’s on the move.

* And, now, here’s something a bit different…


And no one else will do
