Since I'm the germaphobe of the group, I'll post this article.  The whole thing is worth a read, but Chicago specifically isn't mentioned until the end.  It's nasty. 

We've had a brief respite from street fairs, but now it's time to get back out there!

On July 31st and August 1st, be cool out in the hot sun and bring your smiling Republican face, along with your inherent American volunteerism, to Summer on Southport (3700 N. Southport  at Waveland).

Is it just me or is there far too little talk currently coming from the Right about the coming "Tax Tsunami"? In an article published yesterday, IBD details the impending massacre on your wallet. Allow me to summarize: fewer deductions for individuals, repeal of the demonstrably effective Bush tax cuts, more expensive medical supplies and services, and tax hikes for business owners. Lovely.

For those of you who do not know me, I work at a small business, and meet with small business owners every week during the course of my work.  This article rings true even in a progressive area such as Cook County.

"The basic point is that the recession of 2001 wasn't a typical postwar slump, brought on when an inflation-fighting Fed raises interest rates and easily ended by a snapback in housing and consumer spending when the Fed brings rates back down again. This was a prewar-style recession, a morning after brought on by irrational exuberance. To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment.

If it is true that clothes make the man, Illinois republicans are hoping these clothes will un-make the man in Springfield.
