At least that’s what some applicants for the No. 2 spot on the Democratic ticket seem to hope. The Democratic Party of Illinois has received more than 70 applications since it began accepting them on its Web site this week. Applicants included a former senior adviser to disgraced ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich and an out-of-work technician who answered the question “Why are you a Democrat?” with “Who said I was?”
Democrats are looking for a replacement for Chicago pawnbroker Scott Lee Cohen, who left the race less than a week after winning the primary election amid accusations he abused his ex-wife and held a knife to the throat of an ex-girlfriend who was later arrested for prostitution. Cohen has denied the allegations, and charges stemming from his arrest were dropped when the ex-girlfriend didn’t show up in court.

Chicago Escorts: ‘Second City 50th Anniversary Tour’ brings improv-artist Dana Quercioli back …
March 5th, 2010 — Chicago escorts
Best bet to see Rochelle would be in the third and final act of Saturday’s performance by the Chicago-based Second City cast. That one is totally improvised, unlike the first two acts, which feature classic SC sketches, doctored with suggestions from the crowd.
“Hopefully, something will present itself,” Quercioli said. “I don’t preplan, but I know that if I did [do Rochelle], there’d be a couple of people in the audience who’d get a real big kick out of it.”
Rochelle is one of the reasons Quercioli loves what she does, even though she’s leaving the Second City troupe after this tour to further her career.
“Here’s this plain-Jane goody-two-shoes from Chesterland who can be a doctor or a nun or a prostitute or a million other things, and nobody’s going to tell me it was wrong,” said Quercioli. Improv, she said, is a “way to be myself, but through all these different characters I could play.”

Chicago Escorts: Federal control of Tulsa police
March 4th, 2010 — Chicago escorts
Amazingly, fellow Democrats Debbie Leftwich (Oklahoma City) and Sean Burrage (Claremore) voted against Adelson and Rice. Sen. Randy Brogdon, R-Owasso led the fight to kill the resolution.
Why shouldn’t retailers be able to sell beer and wine when and wherever they want?
America tried prohibition and it didn’t work.
Society has a duty to restrict things that hurt people. And alcohol can hurt people – not only those who drink but their families, their employers, their friends and motorists.
There is a good reason why you can’t walk into a convenience store and order a cocktail. Common sense tells us that you should not be allowed to drive your car on public streets while drinking alcohol.
Selling booze in every store in town creates more problems than it solves. Rice and Adelson and their ilk got casino gambling. Now they want the booze to flow. What’s next? Legalized prostitution?

Chicago Escorts: Get Laid! Queer citizen Tim Miller discusses the ‘Lay of the Land’
March 4th, 2010 — Chicago escorts
As I do the Lord’s work trying to undo homophobiaseriouslyI often call on my animal spirit guides. Since I do a ton of university gigs all over the country as I throw my luggage together for my college engagements, I often imagine that all the animal mascots of these institutions of higher learning I work at are gathering to help me. Just as the mice and birds in Cinderella’s Disney garret pimp her up for the ball, I visualize the animal mascots of the upper Midwest preparing me. I see Illinois State University’s Reggie Redbird getting in on the Disney action and dressing me in my so-out-they-are-in cargo pants that I have had to sleep in on the nasty carpet at O’Hare during many airport snowstorms. I see University of Minnesota’s Goldy Gopher, with his scary teeth, pulling my roller bag out of the closet. I see Northwestern University’s Willie Wildcat fluffing my naturally curly hair, I see Wisconsin’s Bucky Badgerthe sexiest of all the masc …
Chicago Escorts: Hawks acquire Boynton as Niemi and Huet struggle again
March 4th, 2010 — Chicago escorts
In other news, the Blackhawks acquired another defenseman tonight. They traded perennial all star Future Considerations to the Ducks for Nick Boynton. The Hawks immediately sent him down for Rockford. That could mean they are simply building depth in case of an injury, or they could be preparing a package for a trade tomorrow.
Either way, Boynton is a reliable 6th or 7th defenseman who can play physical, and is a decent enough skater. I’d bet we’ll see him on the big club sooner or later.
Trade Deadline Headquarters: Hockey fans, this blog will be YOUR RESOURCE for Wednesday’s NHL trade deadline. I will be live blogging from 9am until the deadline if OFFICIALLY passed. I will have my eyes and ears on TSN, NHL Network, Twitter, the Fan 590 in Toronto, Team 1040 in Vancouver, and every one of my league sources for deadline news. Keep it locked on the Red Light District for all your trade deadline needs and analysis.
Chicago Escorts: Oscar Wild: The Academy Awards bring the crazy
March 4th, 2010 — Chicago escorts
Who’s the Cat That Won’t Cop Out? When propaganda wasn’t being propagated, insane musical numbers were. During the same Oscar ceremony that saw Fonda win for Klute, Isaac Hayes, wearing a “shirt” made entirely of gold chains, was pushed out onstage in an illuminated organ to lip-synch “Theme from Shaft.” As Black Moses emerged from a funky, Cocteau-ish, glory-holed passageway with assorted grooving limbs sticking through apertures, smoke machines activated and a camera zoomed in on some serious maxiskirted rump-shaking. A multiracial, coed throng of dancers — think Shindig! as choreographed by Huey P. Newton — clapped, shimmied, and gyrated around the bald Stax man, who, when accepting the Oscar for Best Song, extended most of his gratitude to his granny.
Making Sidney Poitier Proud
Hayes may have been outdone in 2006, when Three 6 Mafia’s performance of Best Song winner “It’s Hard out Here for a Pimp” from Hustle and Flow ushered in the year of the bizarre country-ghetto fantasia, complete with krumping, a ho fashion-show, and cast member and vocalist Taraji P. Henson thinking she was on American Idol.

Chicago Escorts: "Logic Is A Systematic Method Of Coming To The Wrong Conclusion With Confidence."
March 4th, 2010 — Chicago escorts
This country has lost over 3.5 million jobs since Obama was elected. The stimulus, a bill passed to make sure that would not happen, has failed.
If this guy had any sense, he would be tying Obama to the unemployment benefits and hammering away at him for being the cause of so much joblessness.
Then, he should pass the bill.
I turned on CNN this morning, and Senator Bunning’s erroneously described “one-man filibuster” was front and center in their reporting. They had on the program unemployed people who would be affected if the bill is not passed, explaining their situations, tugging on heart strings, as is the wont of the left.
As much as I abhor the pimping out of people to score emotional points, I actually have to sympathize with them in this case.
