Regardless of the events which transpired in Springfield, the day was very interesting. The Republican leaderships offices are behind the house floor, so i got to take a good look at the redone chamber and i would like to say that it looks very nice. On my way out of what i had to do, I ran into an interesting person. I introduced myself as an intern for Rep. Cross, and just as i had finished he

Yesterday saw the ending to another chapter of my life. April 18th, 2007 will go down in George Petruck history as my last trip to Springfield along with my presumptive departure from the political arena. For the past three years, i have enjoyed the privilege of interning for the Illinois House Republican Leader and the Illinois House Republican Organization. With graduation coming up on May 13,

Previously I had talked about negative ads and the effectivness of their message. When i was a first year student Congress Jim Nussle visited with my politics 101 class. I recall him saying that he does not like negative ads but that sometimes more than not, these ads are effective. Brian (missing co-author of the blog) and I discussed why. We came around to the conclusion that people seem to

It happend on the night before my first napy swim meet, me and my mom were in driving toward St. Charles early in the morning. I was not a Twins fan, but its hard not to be Kirby Pucket fan.

There are few professional athletes that are truely good people. Everyone always says that so and so is a good guy while behind the scene this said athlete is not.

Hello group, my name is George Petruck, and yes, I am a Cubs fan. Every year there is that awful story which comes from Az that come October, I will be able to say, hey, that is the point in the season where the Cubs lost the world series...With one out in the first, Hairston was plunked by the second pitch he saw from the Giants right-hander. Hairston fell to the ground, and lay motionless. Cubs

If there is any common ground between the Vikings fans and those of the Chicago Bears, its that we both hate the Packers very much. There is this awsome web page: www.Packerssuck.com. I recomend that all visit this page and absorb as much anti-Packer feeling they can. Big game this weekend Bears.

After a pretty awful start, the Minnesota Vikings are still in the process of righting their ship. While the defense from Chicago is nothing but amazing, the Vikings are not too far behind them:And as of late, the Vikings defense has not given the opposing offenses all that much to smile about, as they have gotten more consistent pressure on the quarterback and certainly has been opportunistic.

The bullpen can be saved:One week after signing left-handed reliever Scott Eyre, the Chicago Cubs added a right-hander to the bullpen when they reached a deal with free agent Bobby Howry, reportedly worth $12 million over three years. The deal is pending Howry passing a physical this weekend in Chicago. On Nov. 17, the Cubs signed Eyre to a deal that guarantees him $11 million over three years

The proposal excludes high schools that benefit most from vending machine proceeds, and it is less dramatic than a ban proposed

More news from the Congressional Republican's:Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, an eight-term congressman and hotshot Vietnam War fighter jock, pleaded guilty to graft and tearfully resigned Monday, admitting he took $2.4 million in bribes mostly from defense contractors in exchange for government business and other favors.

We seriously need to rethink how the MVP voting is done. The only problem with D Lee not winning the MVP is getting third: Lee, 30, received one first-place vote, one second-place vote, and 30 third-place votes for 263 points in the balloting. St. Louis' Albert Pujols won the award, receiving 18 first-place votes and 14 second-place votes for a total of 378 points. Atlanta's Andruw Jones was

I just spent 5 qualities minutes with Mike Whalen. I learned some interesting views and ideas form a well educated man. A bronze tablet for you Illinis. Some messages that i recieved was his idea about pork reduction. The funny thing is that he is that he is a pork sales man. You can visit his web page anytime.

On the Chicago Tribune's web site there is a link to which one can find out about some of the crime stats in there area. I inputed my hometown of Naperville and was shocked by the numbers. They actually seem higher than I had thought. Naperville becomes a bubble for those who live there and when certain things pop up they throw everything into chaos. Go ahead, check out your bubble.

The debat has finally been settled. A-Rod edged out David Ortiz for the AL most valuable player:Alex Rodriguez picked up his second career American League Most Valuable Player Award on Monday, becoming the first Yankees player in 20 years to capture that honor. Rodriguez hit .321 with 48 home runs and 130 RBIs this season, helping New York to its eighth consecutive AL East title. I both concur

Golden news from the North side, sorry about the delay, the other side is still too loud: Maddux and Lee picked up Gold Glove Awards on Wednesday, the first time the Chicago Cubs have had multiple winners since Maddux and Mark Grace both won top defensive honors in 1992.

I wonder what the lead content of my old lunch pale was: Chicago health officials issued a warning today about high levels of lead in children's vinyl lunch boxes, urging parents instead to use hard plastic boxes, reusable cloth bags or brown paper bags, CLTV reported.

Rather, it let stand a lower court ruling that Missouri

Sorry about my absense from the "sphere", last delt with alot of baseball and too much homework. I am actually doing my homework this year so maybe i can get a job or get into some grad school. But this week is homecoming week and I have very little homework, just some reading. Content will be all depending on my mood.

This just happens to be perfect timing:If the White Sox prevail in the best-of-five series, Gov. Romney will send clam chowder from Boston’s Union Oyster House to Illinois. If the Red Sox win, Gov. Blagojevich will send Governor Romney Connie’s pizza and Eli’s Cheesecake. Connie’s Pizza opened in 1963 on Chicago’s South Side and is now served inside the ballpark as a fan favorite. Eli’s

Seriously folks, can the guv get anymore scandolous:The Sun-Times found that 21 of 144 investment firms awarded investment cash by the state's five pension funds have given the governor $505,549 in donations through their corporate names, their executives or affiliated companies. "The implication of this story is reckless and totally false," Pete Giangreco, the governor's campaign spokesman,

The Anti Smoking movement is gainning some serious steam in good old Chicago:Dozens of supporters of a proposed smoking ban gathered in Federal Plaza today to encourage the City Council's Health Committee to vote in favor of prohibiting smoking in public places, including restaurants and bars.I do not smoke, in fact, i think smoking is rather obnoxious but that is not the point. There are many

This weekend was spent in lovely Iowa City, IA. Its only about an hour and half from Dubuque and always worth the trip. Homecoming was the name of the game this weekend and drinking was too. From 6-9 p.m. nothing happend but drinking lots and lots of beer at F.A.C. Friday after class, or FAC, was a great time, too bad my little sister couldn't see straight by the time I arrived.

As I have stated before, The Author of This Blog (George) is not endorsing any candidate for Gov. yet. While there is alot of speculation about Jim Edger running/not running we need to look at the positives its had for the party:1. First of all it divirts much attention away from the George Ryan Trial, which just happens to start so close to a gubinatorial election, it also puts some hope into

Bad things are happening in Minnesota: The Vikings entered the season hoping to establish a reliable kickoff returner for the first time since David Palmer returned 50 kickoffs for a 23.5-yard average in 1998. But after rotating Mewelde Moore and Troy Williamson so far this season, the Vikings are averaging an NFL-worst 14.6 yards per return.Oh yeah, that’s the problem. Toss Tice, Please!

To get to the World Series, you have to clinch a playoff spot: Guillen told a columnist for Copley News Service on Wednesday that he might quit and give up his recently signed contract extension if the White Sox win the World Series in 2005. Guillen also went on to add that he feels sick every time the White Sox lose, sometimes to the point of vomiting after defeats. Um, this might

Another amazing performance from the professor:Maddux (13-13) gave up four hits and walked none over eight scoreless innings, and was pulled because he had a knot in his lower back. He also had a little blister on his right hand, but that wasn't a big deal. Maddux struck out four to raise his career total to 3,044 Ks. Here is how I rank the best 5 active pitchers: 1. Clemens 2.
