The Inside Dope: Dead Man Walk-er
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2011/02/dead-man-walk-er.html
February 28, 2011. Anyone care to wager or speculate on whether Gov. Walker of Wisconsin will win another term. I can't help but feel that he's absolutely a dead letter. Won't have a chance. Posted by The Inside Dope @ 2/28/2011. Links to this post. Links to this post:. NW Illinois, United States. Wise, all-knowing, omniscient, and a snappy dresser besides. Often misunderestimated. View my complete profile. Due to the fact that the foolish and the disturbed will always be among us,. A Citizen's Guide to ...

The Inside Dope: So far, so good.
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2009/01/so-far-so-good.html
January 22, 2009. So far, so good. With the din of the crowds still ringing in their ears, the Obama administration hit the ground running. High level staff were driven in vans to the White House immediately following the swearing in and got down to business. And so far, it's been great. (and we all know that can't last long.). As a matter of fact, then Attorney General Ashcroft issued a memo to the heads of all government agencies stating,. Kinda hard to hold anyone accountable when the actions of our h...

The Inside Dope: Phil Hare, media darling
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2009/02/phil-hare-media-darling.html
February 7, 2009. Phil Hare, media darling. Local Congressman Phil Hare scored quite the media coup Friday evening by appearing for an interview with Rachel Maddow, whose show on MSNBC is one of the highest rated cable talk shows. Maddow had Rep. Hare on to discuss the unrelenting Republican war against labor, and their latest ridiculous attempt to block the nomination of Hilda Solis as Secretary of Labor. The object of their patented phony outrage this time? The so-called "card check" measures would all...

The Inside Dope: Some results from Rock Island County
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2005/04/some-results-from-rock-island-county.html
April 5, 2005. Some results from Rock Island County. The big story of last night was Don Welvaert squeeking to victory as the last two precinct results came in to give him a 91 vote lead, 3,899 to O'Brien's 3,808. Reports shortly after the election was called have O'Brien disinclined to ask for a recount. And alas, the 19 year old Moline school board candidate, Bryn Lawrence, didn't draw enough votes to make the cut. Full results can be found here. In order of votes received). CLERK SOUTH MOLINE TOWNSHIP.

The Inside Dope: One reason I'm a democrat
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2009/02/one-reason-im-democrat.html
February 11, 2009. One reason I'm a democrat. With all the Republican theatre of the absurd lately over their "Just say no" campaign in trying to stymie and delay any attempt at crucial efforts to stop the nation's economic slide into the dumper, I've frankly been overwhelmed with thoughts on the matter. Thus in one neat move, he classified the cops on the beat, the postal workers, the fireman, the building inspector, the nursing home inspector, and virtually every member of the military as not having jo...

The Inside Dope: Were ya in D.C.? Send along some pics
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2009/01/were-ya-in-dc-send-along-some-pics.html
January 25, 2009. Were ya in D.C? Send along some pics. I realize the massive inauguration days in D.C. are nearly old news in our short attention span culture, and I've been tardy in doing this, but I've been meaning to invite anyone who was in D.C. for the events to send along some pictures or descriptions of your experiences. I know at least a few folks from the area were there, and if you were, share some of your impressions or better yet, photos. Posted by The Inside Dope @ 1/25/2009. Let me know if...

The Inside Dope: Hey, did we just switch governors in midstream?
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2009/01/hey-did-we-just-switch-governors-in.html
January 29, 2009. Hey, did we just switch governors in midstream? Yep Seems we did. Apparently on the grounds that nobody in the legislature liked him, and in light of the fact that his nemesis, Speaker Mike Madigan and those who curry his favor have been trying desperately to get rid of this burr in their saddle for literally years. He kept making them look bad. And he did things without kissing their rings first. Can't have that. Our own senator around these parts, Mike Jacobs, smacking his lips at the...

The Inside Dope: Bobby, we hardly knew ye
http://theinsidedope.blogspot.com/2009/02/bobby-we-hardly-knew-ye.html
February 26, 2009. Bobby, we hardly knew ye. Obama gave a barn-burner of a non-state of the union state of the union address last night, as you no doubt are aware. The speech was a long overdue call to arms directed at all Americans, those who skimmed and rigged and fixed the game their way and then looted with reckless disregard for the country as well as to the millions of Americans who know that to the previous regime, they never existed, let alone had their needs addressed. Rhetoric was designed to h...
