Regardless of the events which transpired in Springfield, the day was very interesting. The Republican leaderships offices are behind the house floor, so i got to take a good look at the redone chamber and i would like to say that it looks very nice. On my way out of what i had to do, I ran into an interesting person. I introduced myself as an intern for Rep. Cross, and just as i had finished he

Yesterday saw the ending to another chapter of my life. April 18th, 2007 will go down in George Petruck history as my last trip to Springfield along with my presumptive departure from the political arena. For the past three years, i have enjoyed the privilege of interning for the Illinois House Republican Leader and the Illinois House Republican Organization. With graduation coming up on May 13,

Previously I had talked about negative ads and the effectivness of their message. When i was a first year student Congress Jim Nussle visited with my politics 101 class. I recall him saying that he does not like negative ads but that sometimes more than not, these ads are effective. Brian (missing co-author of the blog) and I discussed why. We came around to the conclusion that people seem to

World Baseball Classic, sounds like United Statesism(thats right, George made up a word today) at its best if you ask me. All those countries that want nothing to do with the United States in Latin America are now playing the World Baseball Classic. Baseball is an United States sport, founded in Cooperstown, NY, with United States values. Now it is the eve of a greatly awaited World Baseball

It happend on the night before my first napy swim meet, me and my mom were in driving toward St. Charles early in the morning. I was not a Twins fan, but its hard not to be Kirby Pucket fan. I felt some connection with Kirby, not a big one, but there was a tear on my eye. Thank you Kirby, thank you very much...

There are few professional athletes that are truely good people. Everyone always says that so and so is a good guy while behind the scene this said athlete is not. Kirby Puckett is one of those athletes who almsot everyone can agree upon as being a good guy. Some bad news came down from MLB....Hall of Fame outfielder Kirby Puckett, one of the most beloved players to ever don a Twins uniform,

Hello group, my name is George Petruck, and yes, I am a Cubs fan. Every year there is that awful story which comes from Az that come October, I will be able to say, hey, that is the point in the season where the Cubs lost the world series...With one out in the first, Hairston was plunked by the second pitch he saw from the Giants right-hander. Hairston fell to the ground, and lay motionless. Cubs

It only took one month?? Are you kidding me?? Justice Alito and Chief Justice Roberts, the newest two members of the Supreme Court, seem almost excited to get their feet wet...The Supreme Court said Tuesday it will consider the constitutionality of banning a type of late-term abortion, teeing up a contentious issue for a newly-constituted court already in a state of flux over privacy rights.
