County Board Interest
Looks like Mary Ardapple is running for the 11th CB dist on the Republican side and Karrie Alms is running for the 3rd CB District.
Still vacant, opponents for 17th CB Dist to oppose Tom Oneil (County Board Chairman)

Progressive Identification
You Know You're a Progressive When...
...even a flaming liberal such as yourself doesn't like being called a liberal.
...you think Government listening to terrorist's phone calls is "eavesdropping on Americans"...but Government surveillance of talk radio and cataloging every political opinion expressed by Americans is not.
...some days you angrily assert that "Progressive" is short for "passive aggressive". Other days, you just don't care.
....you think Iran has a right to nukes just like any other country...and the US must DISARM NOW!
...you think Big Oil executives are greedy liars and thieves...but Oil Tycoons Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro are philanthropists looking out for the little guy. Gary Coleman.
You Know You're a Progressive When...
...you think illegal aliens have a right to a driver's license...but asking to see that license at the polling place is vicious discrimination.
...you think Castro's police state is excused by Cuban health care...even though its most famous patient was JFK.
...you think the only thing stopping cars from getting a million miles per gallon is that Congress simply hasn't passed a law yet...but you oppose the car that actually does get a million miles per gallon because its nuclear.
...you think sexuality is an endlessly elastic, mutable social construct...except for the LGBT, who were unquestionably "born that way"--even transsexuals! Furthermore, you think trannies come from a bar in Bangkok, not from a plant in Dearborn.
...you think paying taxes patriotic. Also, not paying taxes.
You Know You're a Progressive When...
...you believe dissent is highest form of patriotism. And patriotism must not be questioned. Because questions lead to answers and answers lead to certitude. Certitude becomes the Conventional Wisdom. From which we must dissent. And dissent is the highest form of...
( I heroically dissent from the statement "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism". Laying down one's life for your country is the highest form of patriotism. That's why Spec. Casey Sheehan was awarded medals and Cindy Sheehan was punished with media. And that's why it's called "the Medal of Honor", not "the Medal of Hollywood".)
...you insist that all assumptions must be questioned...except your assumptions. Questioning those will be a hate crime.
...you think there is not enough evidence to say that Jesus was the Son of God...but the evidence that Trig is the son of Bristol Palin? Rock Solid, baby!
...you hate pork producers in Indiana, but love pork producers in DC.
...you think an Obama Stimulus is "timely, targeted and temporary"...but an Obama Promise isn't.
