Watch as ABC News' Jonathan Karl grills White House press secretary Jay Carney on the people who signed up for ObamaCare. How many have paid? How many didn't have insurance prior to open enrollment?
While running yesterday through Bunker Hill Woods and Caldwell Woods, which are located in Chicago and Niles, I came across these columns, which are that that remains of a footbridge that connected two halves of the old Bunker Hill Country Club.
I'm pleased that I discovered the bridge before the spring foliage emerged--the leaves would have spoiled the view.
I wanted to get all of the river in a photograph, so I climbed through some dense brush to accomplish this task.
The view from the stairs to the bridge. Bunker Hill closed in the 1950s--it was sold to the Cook County Forest Preserve District. The rest of the bridge was wooden and it either rotted away or it was dismantled by the FPD for safety reasons.
Kerrey made this observation to the Daily Mail, a British newspaper. No US media outlet, not even the Omaha World-Herald, picked up on Kerrey's interview.
UPDATE 10:25pm CDT: Well, whaddya know. A few hours after my post the World-Herald did a story on the Kerrey interview. It's nice to know that I have readers in Omaha.
Illinois' failed governor Pat Quinn wants to make his 67 percent "temporary" income tax hike permanent. But he's throwing a bone to homeowners, a possible $500 property tax credit, which won't come close to matching the cash extracted from the paychecks of hard-working Illinoisans such as myself.
What's shameful is the timing of this stunt by "Quinnochio." The checks could be mailed this summer, which to me is really a bribe-for-votes scheme--Quinn is up for reelection in November.
Today I look at the high hopes--and follies--of green construction and renewable energy and how it relates to Greensburg, Kansas, which was almost completely destroyed by a tornado in 2007: What if they built a green town and no one came?
I kept shaking my head as so-called independent US Sen. Angus King of Maine, who caucuses with the Democrats, betrayed himself as a sycophant for ObamaCare. Except he told Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace this morning, "There is no such thing as ObamaCare."
