Report: Obama to nominate Kagan to Supreme Court
These pro-executive branch tendencies I've always thought were overstated. This is the s*** greenwald lives for and can blind himself. I like scotusblog, here is them addressing it: http://www.scotusblog.com/2010/05/9750-words-on-elena-kagan/

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 7, 2010 -> 03:57 PM) What an absolute crock of s***. If I was a parent of one of those kids I would be livid at the school district. after reading it i'm pretty much with ss2k5 in being sympathetic to the school. Realize for a second that they are responsible for people's children. I don't think being overly cautious is a bad thing.

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ May 7, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) I passed by that place last night while i was at fifty/50 enjoying some awesome wings across the street. based on the pictures on yelp it definitely looks like a place i should try. and bmags, did you ever try that brazilian pizza place i told you about a while back? Fogo2go? ahh btw, I'm working in River North now. Sooooo much nicer to just have to take the halsted bus instead of the 45 minute journey i had to take before.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 7, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) Art of pizza on Ashland has dominant deep dish. As for other kinds, I live right by Salernos, Rosati's and Aurelios which satisfies almost every craving I could have. True. Since i moved though i just haven't felt like treking over there. but man, Ians is overrated as s***.

Fogo2go? Yeah man! The owner there lived in the same city I lived in Brazil! Next time you go get the coxinha, not the greatest but it's comparable. The arugala gorgonzola and sun dried tomato pizza i got there was sooooo good.

I want to move as close as possible to peace pizza.

the thing is, i'm fairly certain the proof you do exist provision is going to be removed. Should we merely hold it against Arizonans that despite being explained what that law would do, they still support it?

QUOTE (beckham15 @ May 6, 2010 -> 02:08 AM) Well I'm 22 years old. City/Suburbs doesn't matter to me as long as it's a decent neighborhood. If it would be in the city then definately on the northern part (easier to get to work) Still in the NAVY.... going to do 2 more years up there while my fiance finishes up college and then I'm going to start school after that. Price range would be anywhere between 1200 and 1500 a month. Thanks again to all that have replied so far. I appreciate it well...I don't know. I'm renting in the city for cheap as hell in wrigleyville, but I always end up in WP or Pilsen, so that sucks. And when the lease ends my and my friend are probably moving to one of those two, or Ukrainian village, something like that. Soooo, yeah, yours is very broad...you might want to spend some time in the city to see if you want to move there, and explore the neighborhoods. There are a lot of great neighborhoods with lots of personality, and are usually affordable.

Obama 16 Months
I mean, i guess entering into 2 wars as a result of 9/11 is a bit more than dealing with the initial 9/11. I mean, it's obviously more, but it's stuff that was applicable to Bush but he just punted on.

The environment thread
QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 6, 2010 -> 12:47 AM) I wish we had a decent public system here. you see this a lot in the west because it was developed a lot later and had so much more land. They were built for highways. Yglesias had a good point to the effect of : "while you may get angry and not support legislation that is "anti-sprawl" we should at least find a middle ground to try and avoid and remove legislation that is pro-sprawl". I think that's about right. Urban planning will almost certainly become a hugely influential field this century (and probably won't stop). A lot of local and state regulations in regards to planning and zoning is antiquated. While you shouldn't have to mandate walkable neighborhoods, they should be built where there is a demand, and there almost certainly is! But when you have regulations such as mandatory connected parking garages for buildings with so and so capacity, you are forcing 1) land that could be used for business, housing or retail space to be reserved for parking and 2) encourage driving. Another small 2 points, Y2HH pointed out about his commute. That is a big deal, and should likely be #2 for reasons for renting or purchasing a house after affordability - even connecting to affordability. And while in Y2HH case it was more reasonable for him to drive, cities and states should at least work to make it a choice and competition for people to use public transport where it is efficient to do so. I'm looking at you, St. Louis. The second point is for people to adjust the price of housing to their commute. Commute time has shown to be a gigantic, if not the biggest, factor in their happiness (could NOT think of the term for people's view on living). So if houses are a little more expensive closer in to the city, but cut your work commute by a half hour, that's a significant difference and should be accounted for.
