So Chad Ochocinco gets fined $25,000 while using Twitter on the sidelines, but it's okay for Brett Favre to do sideline interviews with Andrea Kramer? Yeah, that makes sense.

The Cards are 3-0 when I'm at Busch and am scheduled for only one more game this year. What true fan wants to send me down (all expenses paid) to all of the remaining home games? I still think they will make the playoffs, so you'll need to send me to those too.

The house at 2002 Maine was a dentist's office for more than 30 years and people parked in that lot for more than 30 years and it was suddenly a problem? We all know better. Not every old building needs to be saved, especially when you don't own it.

How's your fantasy football draft or auction? Our league's auction is ridiculously late, the night before the season starts. Regardless, thank God football season is here.

Will any of the aldermen up for re-election face a February primary challenge?

SPONSOR PLUG ALERT: Summer is nearly over and I'll be switching back to Fat Tire from Summer Shandy (both distributed by Mississippi Belle, a fine QNO advertister).

I suspect some of these Adams County officials races will start heating up around Labor Day.

Bill Brady, the dog does have to decide what he's going to do with the car once he catches it. Pat Quinn has blown off both feet and it working on shooting up the rest of his body. You'd better get that budget plan in place.

Kirk-Giannoulias might turn into the dirtiest race in the country...and that's saying something.

So if an aldermen goes to the wall for his constituents, the people whom he or she represents, and his/her fellow aldermen don't back him/her, what happens when a colleague needs a key vote in a similar situation? I think the rules of decorum on the Quincy City Council may have just changed...or has that been the case since April 2009?

Survey, unless an alderman goes door to door on every issue, the only opinion of their constituents they get are from those who TELL them. If they get one opinion and no others, then that's what they have to build on.

Sorry for the typo.

Watching preseason games is what has enabled me to win multiple FFL titles across numerous leagues.

Is there anything more pointless than NFL preseason games?

...looks like someone's been hitting the Fat Tire already.

As far as the aldermen/constituent relationship, bear in mind that probably wasn't a majority of the constituency, just the whiniest group.
