Torture museums in Europe

The endless security lines at the airport may seem torturous. However, they are child's play in comparison with what heretics and criminals would face in the Middle Ages. Medieval torture was in use both to extract confessions and to punish the convicted before execution. Torturers (who were often clergy) had a huge toolkit with which to practice their bleak black art. Nowadays, ridiculous torture exhibits are cleverly marketed all over Europe. They're equipped with scary and gory gear — but […]

Weathering the mental stress in farming

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this is a good time to review ways to reduce mental stress and where to get help.

MILLER: Illinois spending exceeding flat revenues

More than a year ago, the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget was projecting a $3.2 billion deficit for what is now the current fiscal year. Part of the problem was that existing revenues were flat while spending was growing, according to the budget office. This is a recurring problem in Illinois. The previous fiscal year’s projections were also astonishingly poor. The Chicago-based Civic Federation issued a report last week that delves a bit deeper into why it is a recurring problem. […]

Champion your health for Older Americans Month

Last week, I shared that May is Mental Health Month, but it is also Older Americans Month (OAM), led by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Established in 1963, OAM is a time to recognize older Americans' contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm commitments to serving older adults in our communities. This year’s theme, “Champion Your Health,” focuses on prevention, wellness, and personal responsibility as cornerstones of healthy aging. It encourages older adults to take an active role in their […]

MILLER: Can the Bears bill get across the goal line?

“We’re almost there” on a Bears stadium bill, Rep. Kam Buckner (D-Chicago) told some sports radio hosts on a Friday morning before the House returned to Springfield for three days of session last week. “We’re very close.” Asked if the rumor spread by sports business pundit Marc Ganis earlier that week was true about House Speaker Chris Welch holding up the Bears bill, Buckner, the House’s point person on the state megaprojects bill that includes the Arlington Heights Bears stadium […]

MILLER: Polls unfavorable toward data centers

In a mid-March poll, 68 percent of likely Illinois voters said they would support legislation to “regulate data centers to minimize their impact on our utility bills, climate, and water while still allowing them to be built.” But while 21 percent opposed the legislation, more than half of those opponents (56 percent) said they did so because they “Oppose allowing data centers to be built at all.” That means 80 percent either want guardrails or oppose any new construction. So, yeah, […]

Home maintenance for first-time homeowners

If you recently purchased your first home, congratulations on your accomplishment. You’ve no doubt realized that all that extra space comes with extra maintenance – and if you’re used to renting, you’ll now be faced with tasks your landlord may have previously taken care of. Home maintenance can be daunting, but it’s important. Regular home maintenance makes your home a clean and comfortable environment. It can extend the life of your home, prevent illness and accidents, and save you time […]

OP-ED: USPS didn’t fail. Congress broke it.

Walk into any post office today, and you’ll see the same depressing ritual. Yet another rate‑hike notice taped to the wall, another few cents slapped onto the price of a stamp, another hit to people who didn’t cause this mess in the first place. The story politicians tell is that the United States Postal Service (USPS) is bloated, incompetent, and losing money. But here is the damning truth: the government can’t run anything right. The truth is uglier and more […]

CAPITOL FAX: Campaign crud

Unless you’ve been under a rock, you likely know that former U.S. President Bill Clinton seemed to say that he flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet with JB Pritzker and his spouse. That was after saying that it was likely that Epstein, as well as his notorious co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, were passengers on every flight he took on that plane. Clinton made his remarks during a deposition taken by the U.S. House Oversight Committee last month. He was asked during […]
