IlliniGuys Sports Spectacular (Weekend of March 1, 2025) Heartland Newsfeed
The most important light in our house is the smallest one. Like many families, we keep a tiny night light in a dark hallway. That bulb’s kept me safe for years. When our child was little, it illuminated a path to her room, so we wouldn’t stumble if she called us. Later, it kept us from tripping over our large and frequently sleeping dog. Not long ago, before guests came over, I pulled the light out so I could plug […]
Back when I was a kid, people used to joke about the “dodo bird.” Was it real? Yes, this fowl (pronounced “dough-dough”) actually lived. But it’s been extinct since the 1680’s, which makes it officially, sincerely lifeless. It’s no wonder the dodo didn’t survive. Its wings were too small to fly, and its legs too short to run. Predators found the bird easier to catch than a head cold. The little animal lived on islands in the Indian Ocean. It […]
Many of us grew up during the 1960s. Some, like me, never grew up. But we've continued to age without expiring. Let's see…where was I? Oh, yes. If you grew up back then, you probably remember a neighborhood visitor called the "milk man." He worked for a local dairy, and came by in a truck two or three mornings a week delivering fresh products. Now, back in those days most milk and cream came in thick glass bottles. You would […]
Not long ago, a man I work with asked me how to make a big impression on a first date. For most well-mannered guys, I suggest a fancy restaurant. These generally require a reservation, and few offer a drive-through window. Therefore, the girl will dress nicely. Males should put on a real tie, not that tee shirt with one painted on it. I also suggest that guys follow these basic tips: When you pick up your date, remember your manners. […]
Today, I would like to salute the leisure suit, a huge success of the 1970s. Not long ago, I found one in my closet, hiding somewhere between my tie-died shirts and my bell-bottomed jeans. I still love it, but my wife never lets me wear it to weddings. This incredibly versatile outfit (shirt-like jacket and matching slack) dominated men’s wear. Guys hoped this fashion – which didn’t require a tie – would replace business suits. Some men who chose leisure […]
(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Libertarian and alternative candidates as of recent have made some serious moves in the past several weeks and it has become apparent that the voting public is seeking an alternative to the Democratic and Republican political machines. Illinois gubernatorial race In Illinois, Libertarian gubernatorial nominee Kash Jackson and Conservative Party nominee Sam McCann have appeared in five consecutive polls dating back to late June. In the June poll from Victory Research, Jackson polled at 2% while McCann […]
As I think about summer in Texas, house flies come to mind. Maybe that's because I've been chasing one around the office all morning. It's hard to guess how many there are worldwide, but we know there are 300,000 species. I personally have interacted with several hundred thousand, many of them gathered around my sandwich. Flies are 65 million years old, which means they've been around longer than my aging great uncle. And he may have something in common with […]
(Heartland Newsfeed) -- It seems everywhere I turn around, government as a whole have tried repeatedly to interfere and infringe on the Constitutional rights of a free press. Governments are not fulfilling FOIA requests. They are also withholding pertinent information from meetings, a clear sign of internal corruption and/or incompetent politicians. The press corps are the Fourth Estate, essentially the fourth branch of government. We are essentially the governmental watchdogs for the people, holding politicians accountable and governmental bodies accountable […]
We'd like to recognize Charles Perrault, who preserved the folk tales of “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Sleeping Beauty” and many more. We’d bake a cake in his honor, but since he was born in 1628, he’s 375 now. Few folks that age can blow out the candles. Perrault painstakingly transcribed centuries-old stories that taught important lessons like bravery, honesty, and witch avoidance. Before Perrault committed them to paper, folk tales passed orally from one generation to the next. As you […]
