IlliniGuys Sports Spectacular (Weekend of March 1, 2025) Heartland Newsfeed
It's baseball season, so there's nothing like a sports story. This one's about a kid named Danny. Danny began playing baseball at age eight, and watched every game he could find on TV. He always wanted to hit home runs, but he wasn't particularly strong. When he was 11, he asked his coach how to hit better. "Danny," the kindly coach said, "You're a good place hitter. You can hit the ball where you want it to go. Don't worry […]
(Heartland Newsfeed) -- In an election cycle where Libertarian Party and Green Party candidates have received the most media coverage in years, there are still those in the mainstream media who want to drag candidates through the mud and attack their past. This has happened to several candidates over the past months and as of Friday, Ohio House candidate Kryssi Wichers became another target of the media. Spencer Remoquillo of the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette put out a hit piece on Wichers, who […]
My friend Buddy unloaded his home last week. It’s been on the market so long they put mood lighting on the For Sale sign. The house was built during the Great Depression, and that’s how visitors describe it. To call it a “dump” gives garbage a bad name. The yard’s green...but it’s weeds. Buddy says if he can mow it, it can grow there. That may explain what happened to the missing earthworms. The kitchen needs lots of work. Not […]
The old guy ahead of me in the grocery check-out looked about two coughing spells away from the Promised Land. I didn't notice him until he tried to pay with a credit card, and the clerk told him it expired in 1997. Then, he noticed me. "Hey, buddy," he smiled, "how ya doin'? Remember me from high school?" "Sure," I lied, "but I don't remember what class you taught." "Nah," he replied, "I'm Ray, and I sat behind you in […]
(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Nearly a week ago, the national Libertarian Party issued a press release regarding Nexstar Media Group's exclusion of Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Mark Tippetts from the first gubernatorial debate slated for September 28 in Austin. As a part of the guidelines, debate inclusion requires being in the top three in polling. Tippetts met that mark in last month's poll conducted by the University of Texas and the Texas Tribune, meeting the requirement leaving 16 percent undecided. However, Nexstar-owned […]
When I was a kid, door-to-door sales folks rang our bell all the time. They sold just about anything. One time I bought encyclopedias from a guy at my door. Call me a softie, but I can’t turn down anybody holding 26 books in each arm. I hope he sold that other set, too. Which leads me to ask: When was the last time a telephone sales call really messed up your day? Was the call from a real person, […]
Somewhere in the bowels of the earth -- hidden from your view, but not your employer’s -- lies your “permanent record.” It’s a little like a cold sore…it only shows up when you need to make a good impression. As I remember, teachers warned my about my "record" every time I got in trouble. If that record is still around, it’s got to be really long by now. Anyway, this paper trail supposedly follows someone to high school, to the […]
(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Illinois is unfortunately known for political corruption and the suppression of voter and candidate choice. It's been a common and deceptive practice that has been going on for decades. 2018, unfortunately, is no different. As of several hours ago, a warning was given by the Libertarian Party of Illinois that the Illinois Republican Party is up their usual tricks again trying to throw the party slate off the general election ticket. PUTTING THE WORD OUT: Republicans are […]
Yesterday I saw a national survey that reports people are ruder today than ever before. So today – along with my sound recorder, my friend Jim, and his dog Kitty -- we conducted our own poll. We asked several people “Are folks ruder today than they were 20 years ago?” Here’s what they said: A high school boy answered: “How should I know? I‘m only 15.” One man said, “Absolutely...and so are the residents of my planet.” Two men asked […]
