This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Remember IL is kind of big. I can rewrite your post for by The Holtz Room

downstate.

The primary approaches, so of course we're being bombarded with tree-wasting adverts. All of them are generated by the (R) party, which doesn't surprise me because I doubt Illinois (D)'s could organize a two-car funeral procession downstate.

There aren’t any Democrats running for anything around here.

Your second paragraph is like the judge’s race here. “Protecting Your Rights” is a banner point for one in particular. Everything he puts out makes it sound like he’s running for Congress vs judge. Never seen a more awkward picture of a guy holding a gun.

IL politics is more than Cook/Lake county, albeit most i So IL think Chicago just controls everything.

I look forward to your Florida political rants at some point.
