Our AntiPundit 2.0 says he is not going to post anymore until it warms up. Now, I think we should head over to his site, and tell him to keep on posting. I sort of enjoy his wry, dry posts about nothing and everything. Besides, he’s bitter but in a fun sort of a way. [...]

ELMO LIVES!
Another thing I found interesting is the museum survey came out on the same day that WTVP was saved. ELMO LIVES! talk about a legacy project. Public television, the bastion of Lawrence Welk and Curious George, wouldn’t go black. Honestly, I didn’t think it would. I figured somehow, someway, the whole thing would have been fixed [...]

Wither the Museum
I love the recent stories on the Blogs and in the paper about the recent museum survey. To me, it’s a classic case of how there are statistics and then there are statistics. People who are against the museum like CJ and the pundit. They are irate, or at least, in print, about what they [...]

A break in the action
I must say I loved the story today in the Journal Star about the reporter having to deal with the flu. Who hasn’t felt like that and wanted to just curl up and hide for days on end. My wife had the flu and she was near brain-dead. My son had the flu and well, [...]

Bad week for Peoria County parents
Wow, I don’t know what to say. In fact, I really can’t say anything. Just tragic. After I heard about the story about the little baby, I went home and hugged my kids extra tight. Between that, and the earlier stories of child abuse that made the paper, I don’t know what to say. What [...]

Living in Downtown!
Next week, the PJS reports that a study will be released from a group of mucky-mucks on the prospects of Downtown living. The study will show, apparently, what the demand is for downtown units. My guess is that it’s pretty low given that there is really nothing to make people want to move downtown. I [...]

My thoughts on the shootings
Well, they are calling for more snow, again. And again, it started out as a winter storm warning where fire and brimstone (or the winter equivalent) would fall on our heads. Now it is down to a couple of niches of snow. Good Lord.
My thoughts are with the families of the victims at NIU. When, [...]

Big News from the PJS today
No, it’s not election or even about female coroners. Nah, Hannah Montana is sticking around for another week! This is lifted from pjstar.com:
We’ve all heard the “ONE WEEK ONLY!” hysterics about the “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert.” If you didn’t make it to Sunnyland Cinemas or Grand Prairie 18 theaters [...]

To tax or not to tax
The PJS has an interesting story today and no, it’s not about prisoner spoons, though I do feel better now that they have more healthy eating utensils there at the jail. Nah, it’s the story on the HRA Taxes. Apparently, big wigs in town believe that by raising the HRA tax, we’ll get more people here. [...]

Election and tornadoes and snow
Wow, Tennessee got walloped. Two malls were crushed. several people died and the candidates were gracious enough to take time away from talking about themselves to think about what really matters. Oh, I don’t mean to give them grief but I guess I am tired of the pandering. And annoyed at the comments of “reaching [...]
