"Her theory: He moved away, then returned."

By taunting the police as much as he did and now does ... he didn't just move away and stop killing for 25 years. Serial killers rarely just stop killing for awhile unless they die or are incarcerated. I find it interesting that 25 years is what is considered "life" in prison. I will venture a guess that he was either in prison or this is a copycat that is VERY familiar with the case.

Questions are swirling around whether the election was conducted honestly or not. We need to know -- was it or wasn't it?

If people were wrongly prevented from voting, or if legitimate votes were mis-counted or not counted at all, we need to know so the wrongdoers can be held accountable, and so we can prevent this from happening again.

Members of Congress are demanding an investigation to answer this question. The decision on whether or not there will be an investigation could come as soon as Monday.

Article.

Hey, how about living up to your name and moving on already. In the world of these people, is there an election they have ever lost because people voted for someone else? At some point, you can never move on and reach people with your message if you can't admit that you LOST. Move on and adapt already.

Reis, Grunloh square off on the issues

Debate for State Rep. Tonight

2004-10-13T11:15:00.000-05:00

Bill Grunloh and David Reis are having a debate tonight at the Hilton Gardens in Effingham. 7:30 pm.

Not sure if anyone has been watching or not, but this one has gotten ugly. There was a state bill (2207 I think) that was on the floor a year or two ago. It was a tax break for printing companies located in southern Illinois as well as a few other small businesses. It was to the tune of about 4 million for printing companies. Raised fines on DUI and closed an offshore tax loop hole for large revenue Illinois based companies with offshore offices to pay for it. So, Grunloh voted against it. The theory is that world color would have still been here had it passed. At least for now. The Chicago Dems opposed it and so he voted with his party leaders. So, the Reis spin of this has been 'He voted against something that would have saved 300 + jobs in his own district to play party politics. who is he representing?'. The Grunloh counter is: 'It would have raised taxes on Illinois big businesses. I said I wouldn't raise taxes' But, the ads have been really nasty this past two weeks or so.

More talk about the national ID card program

2004-10-05T09:26:00.000-05:00

In the wake of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations, the Senate -- unlike the House -- has prepared legislation which would closely track that Commission's findings by reorganizing the intelligence services in the federal government. The Senate bill is relatively innocuous compared to the House version, HR 10

(1) The government database is created by section 2173 of HR 10, a bill introduced by House Speaker Dennis Hastert. It would allow airline passengers to be screened against lists containing "all appropriate records." What would be "appropriate" would be within the exclusive discretion of the bureaucrats, but could include medical records, confidential financial records, library records, and gun records.

(2) The driver's license standards are in section 3052. They would allow the federal government to set standards as high as desired to determine who may or may not obtain a driver's license. Please note that you need a driver's license (or similarly regulated state-issued photo ID) to purchase a gun from a dealer. But, increasingly, you also need it to travel on any form of transportation (airplane, bus, train, car), to get a job, to open a checking account, to cash a check, to check into a hotel, to rent a car, or to purchase cigarettes or alcohol. If the federal government can set standards so high as to deny you a driver's license or photo ID, it has effectively turned you into a non-person.

(3) Section 2142 would allow the U.S. attorney general to promulgate any regulations he desires concerning (a) what employers must submit the names and fingerprints of all employment applicants to the FBI, (b) what standards the government will use in approving or disapproving the employment applicants, and (c) whether or not the government's "disapproval" will prevent the applicant from being hired.

There is nothing in section 2142 which would prohibit an anti-gun attorney general from (a) requiring the resumes and fingerprints of every employment applicant in the country, (b) disapproving them on the basis of gun ownership or, for that matter, any factor he viewed as not being politically correct, and (c) prohibiting any employer from hiring an applicant thus blacklisted.

Illinois Capitol Murder Proves Gun Laws Do Not Stop Killers

"'If the Draconian gun laws in Illinois worked,' said CCRKBA Executive Director Joe Waldron, 'then security guard William Wozniak would still be alive.

"

I have a problem with the fact that they are still employees of CNN in a journalistic role. The honesty check comes here: Do you believe that if Sean Hannity or O'Reilly or some other FoxNews personality joined the Bush campaign without resigning their post, there would not be an outcry from the left? Does anyone honestly believe that would be the case? If not, why is this ok? Where is the outrage? Hate to point out an existing double standard, but it is what it is.

"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."

Hard to argue with that.......

Search ends at one of twin Russian crash sites

I'll be the first to admit the fact that both planes went down within minutes of each other is a little wierd, but don't terrorist organizations usually own up to what they've done? I mean what would be the point in dieing for a cause if noone knows what cause your dieing for? I think the explanation is going to be something a bit more bland for the papers. Someone was probably shipping something that shouldn't have been shipped in a plane and it blew up.

You would think the Catholic Church would be able to make some sort of exception. It's not that difficult a decision ... You just have to ask yourself ... "What Would Jesus Do?". I honestly don't think he would want anyone not to be able to practice Christianity just because he happened to eat bread instead of mutton or whatever else they ate back then.

Keyes: Cancel tax bills for descendants of slaves

2004-08-18T14:33:00.000-05:00

Wow! This senate race keeps getting muddier and muddier. This is not a good idea and opens the gov. up to all kinds of reparation-type litigation. While I don't necessarily agree w/ Obama's plan for moving on, at least he is of the mindset of moving forward.

"It takes no money from other citizens, while righting the historic imbalance that results from the truth that black slaves toiled for generations at a tax rate that was effectively 100 percent."

Really? I thought that Mr. Keyes was smarter than this. If x number of people aren't paying taxes, are we going to cut federal spending by the same amount? of course not. so who is going to make up the difference? the taxpayers. and how will they make it up? increased taxes.

I would be interested in seeing how many slave decendants actually pay federal income tax. if the number is very low, this might be a win-win situation.

We say that we will turn everything they consider holy into rubble. What Would Ronnie Do.

Not political, but I think is relevant since their only North American production facility is located in central Illinois.

Personally, I think that they have a long row to hoe. They are just another name in an already crowded field. Their cars aren't exciting and reputation shakey at best.
