I have been pretty bummed about Lauren losing. In fact I commented about accepting her loss in a few replies here. It was an uphill battle and IIRC a R +3 district. Much to my surprise this afternoon is that she is now leading .

This makes it a great Sunday. The NYT shows a larger lead but with fewer votes.

U.S. House District 14

Lauren Underwood,
Democrat

191,359

50.1%

Jim Oberweis,
Republican

190,775

49.9%

Adding the Oberweis (Great Ice Cream, horribly racist man) claimed victory on election night. This makes it even better

This happened tonight in Plainfield, Illinois.

Hazmat crews from all over the area have been called in.

I live about 1.5 miles from the tracks and about 3 miles from the accident. The oil , I believe, is from the tar sands in Canada or the North Dakota.

I have real concern because the accident location is near the Dupage River and oil has escaped.

There has been a a ½ mile evacuation zone.

Looks like the local Dems performed a minor miracle in the Naperville area.

www.chicagotribune.com/…

Dems unseat several incumbents in Naperville, Lisle township races

A Democratic sweep like this is the first Carl Schultz, chairman of the Naperville Township Republican Organization, has ever seen, he said.

"As far as just trying after having the primary to get our things back together, the time was really short," Schultz said. "We didn't have enough time to put our cohesive message together."

IIRC. HRC did carry usually red DuPage 54-39

At Lake Central, the principal decided not to give a moment of silence to a former student that committed suicide. A group of students gathered a sit in to protest this decision.

Watch the video below to see what happened.

Imo, the principal way over reacted especially to the student who made the comment. Kid was cuffed and hauled out of there.

I give that some kids were probably there for the wrong reasons but it doesn't excuse how it was dealt with.

Chick-fil-A Ceases Anti-gay Donations, Clarifies Stance on Gay Customers & Employees

September 18, 2012 – Chicago, Illinois – The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA), Illinois’ leading lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights advocacy organization, has learned that Alderman Moreno has finalized his negotiations with Chick-Fil-A. Alderman Moreno has confirmed that Chick-fil-A will no longer give money to anti-gay organizations and that they have clarified in an internal document that the company will treat every person equally, regardless of sexual orientation. The Civil Rights Agenda worked closely with the Alderman in an advisory role as he negotiated these concessions with the executives at Chick-fil-A. Additionally, members of TCRA spoke directly with executives at Chick-fil-A during negotiations to aid in educating their decision makers about anti-discrimination policies and issues affecting the LGBT community.

It seems possible that the same people who threw job applications at Occupy Chicago now see a sort of kinship with them.

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Are we going to sit here and be kicked in the teeth? Or are
we going to fight back?'' shouted Alan Young, a cattle broker who
helped organize a raucous ``Occupy the Pits'' meeting of about 100
brokers and traders around the cavernous Chicago Board of Trade
(CBOT), birthplace of the modern futures markets.
``There will be a snowball effect if this thing goes
electronic, and there won't be any more jobs left.''

Nothing says family values like the former Lake County Republican Chairman being arrested for CHILD PORN.

link

The mayor of Green Oaks was charged Monday with distributing child pornography over the Internet after authorities executed a search warrant at his house, officials said.
Bail was set at $100,000 for Tom Adams, 68, of the 800 block of Anderson Drive, after he was arrested Monday morning, authorities said. He was in Lake County Jail Monday evening.
Adams, a former chairman of the Lake County Republican Party and a longtime GOP power broker, is accused of using three screen names on America Online to send child porn from a computer in his home office, said Assistant State's Atty.
Patricia Fix. The first incident occurred March 21, 2005, she said. On July 12, 2005, an undercover police officer in Florida received five e-mails from Adams that contained multiple images of child porn, according to Fix.

HAL will sell up to 20% of the KBR unit to the public. It might, also, sell off pieces of KBR.

This will be a chance to invest in one of the leading profiteers of the Iraq war. Don't miss the chance at owning a company that over charges the US government.

Halliburton will file for the sale soon after it files it's 2005 SEC financial report.
