CTA Tattler

Kevin, you've got it all wrong- at this point, it appears that divine intervention is what it's going to take to get SB572 passed and signed. Let the kids pray!

I ran into Harry Osterman yesterday begging for signatures for re-election and regret not reaming him and telling him off for the lack of action on the CTA. He doesn't mention it at all on his "webpage". Needless to say I declined to sign his petition.

Silence is the last thing we need -- there's been too much of that already. We need loud political action. Rallies and such are fine, but I think we'd be more effective focusing on Blogojevich, Madigan, and Jones for their complete failure of leadership. If we can't recall/impeach them, at least we can campaign against them in the next primary. But it will take organization.

Kevin, c'mon.

Usually, I agree with your perspective and I really like(d) your blog, but this is a ridiculous post.

"to foist religion on school kids"? It's a moment of silence for children who are so over-stimulated by Nintendo Ds's, Pokemon, MTV, etc that they are increasingly prescribed ADD meds. If children can have a moment of silence to pray (if they're religious), focus, concentrate, veg-out, or whatever WHAT'S THE PROBLEM??

Lame comment.

CoolHand, the problem is priorities, duh. Before state government decides it has the time to sit down and legislate morality, let's make sure that essential public utilities are functional, huh?
