IL to Cure Zombie Loophole, Pass Concealed Carry?

Lots of question marks today. You’ll remember earlier I commented that, if the government was really training us for better performance during the coming zombie apocalypse, they’d have to loosen their grip on the Second Amendment’s recently-determined-to-be-individual right to keep and bear arms.

A-Curious as to why you have an almost uncontrollable rage when it comes to the government?

Oprah To Force Made-Over Trump - and Rosie - on America?

I’m not entirely sure that the direct plan here is to attack Trump’s chances at winning an election, but I am fairly sure that nothing good can come of allowing Oprah to make you over, unless you’re a really big fan of pricey, shapeless pantsuits, pointy-toe flats and layered, over-processed hair color.

This case is always one alien band away from being the Mos Eisley Cantina of legal proceedings. The IL Supreme Court has issued a partial stay of yesterday’s decision pending Rahm’s appeal, after his lawyers filed a petition late last night.

So Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC replacement might be more obvious that previously thought. It appears that the Illinois Appellate Court has knocked Rahm Emanuel off the ballot in a 2-1 decision, ruling that Emanuel does not meet the residency requirement. Rahm Emanuel was thrown off the ballot for mayor of Chicago today by an appellate court... Read more »
