Month: July 2013

  So, last night as I'm just about finished grilling a steak and potatoes for dinner, I get a call from a snarky gentleman who took time out from his Independence Day to call me and show his ass. Here's the email I sent to GSL's Board last night. A…

Tio Hardiman, the former director of CeaseFire Illinois, whose contract as their director was not renewed after an arrest for domestic battery, was a happy man as the Cook County State's Attorney dropped charges of domestic violence against him this week.

I wrote earlier today that Governor Quinn's asinine proposal was deader than dead.  And indeed, it's just that.…
