You say you don't live within the WLS broadcast area? Not to worry. You can go here to listen to the program, live, on the web.[You may encounter some technical problems in signing on-- allow five minutes, or so, for following the prompts for technical difficulties, and you should be able to hear WLS live on the web] See here for Tom’s Blog which has Tom's thoughts on a great many matters, political and otherwise.
Upset with something Berkowitz said on his show [www.PublicAffairsTv.com] or the [Public Affairs YouTube.com page], something he wrote on this blog or just the way he looks? Tom Roeser’s show on Sunday night is your chance to fire back. A free fire zone, so to speak. Also, you can help shape the show and its topics by calling in with your questions and comments—312-591-8900. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Centrists, Independents, Peronistas, Communists [no collect calls, please], Putin followers, elitists, clingers to religion and guns, outside agitators and others are, of course, all welcome.
Tonight's show may touch on the concerns of the great unwashed with a President Obama (Watch Mayor Daley, Gov. Sebelius and DLC Chairman Ford deal with some of those issues here), the issue of whether the opposition to O'Hare expansion will live to fight another day, the continuing Saga of the Springfield Six, including whether Speaker Mike Madigan is setting the table for a Januray, 2009 massive income tax increase, is Ralph Martire salivating at that prospect, will the Republican and Democrat leaders finally get the capital plan they know in their hearts they all want, the possible impeachment of Governor Bungalow Blagojevich and whether there is credible evidence of an impeachable offense by Blago [Watch here the Public Affairs show with Rep. Durkin [dealing in part with this topic], the Blagojevich meltdown and the toxic tone in Springfield among Dems which might help the Republicans be resurrected in Illinois; Are the Republicans in Illinois now the party of ethics and better jobs [[Watch here this episode of Public Affairs with Senator Dillard dealing in part with this topic], will there be a capital budget, should there be state government provided healthcare insurance for all low income and middle class individuals in Illinois who need it? Should there be a Chicago casino, should there be more gaming and perhaps additional casinos in Illinois,For a look back at how the more things change, the more they stay the same, See here for a March 25, 2007, retro TV interview with Illinois Chief Operating Officer John Filan about Gov. Blagojevich's long defunct Gross Receipts Tax, archived shows with State Reps. Mary Flowers [D-Chicago] and Jim Durkin [R-Western Springs] discussing State Budget and Tax issues ].
Who knows, we may even discuss education, economics, school vouchers- school choice, recovery in New Orleans, Governor Bobby Jindahl's chances to be McCain's VP, charter schools, jobs and free lunches . Alternatively, are former Ohio Cong. and Bush Administration official Rob Portman and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford more likely picks by McCain?
This reporter doesn't know the topics for tonight—they are determined by Mr. Roeser, with some incisive suggestions, no doubt, by his lovely, energetic and intelligent wife Lillian. However, an educated guess is that the questions will consist of various Illinois and Presidential political issues, possibly selected from the following questions, some of which are holdovers from prior episodes of "Political Shootout," or "Public Affairs."
Of course, you can call and ask any of the below questions or whatever you like. As with University of Chicago Ph. D. prelim questions in economics over the years, many of the questions on Political Shoot-out stay the same each week, only the answers change [or do they?]. And you are Free to Choose, so to speak, as this is the land of Milton Friedman, the late, great Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics from the University of Chicago [WWMFS, i.e., what would Milton Friedman say? is the question we classically ask, followed with:
--Will the O'Hare expansion opponents ever stop filing lawsuits?
--Do all things, even lawsuits, have an end?
-- Can you beat City Hall?
--What would the last five years have looked like in Illinois under a Governor Topinka? a Governor Vallas the next five years?
--Could Ald. Sandi Jackson be the next Mayor of the City of Chicago? the next Cong. from the 2nd CD?
--WasChicago Sun-Times columnist Laura Washington correct, once upon a time, to be concerned that "concealed carry," would put a dangerous person with a gun next to her in a movie theater, or is that more likely to be the case without a concealed carry law?
--Was Barack Obama Emil Jones' show pony, as Senator Rauschenberger contends? [watch here]
--Was Obama way too cautious in his handling of the Pastor Disaster?
--Is Obama's cautious nature both his strength and his weakness?
--Is Obama suffering from too much media exposure?
--Are voters concerned about Obama's lack of national experience?
--In light of what has transpired about Rev. Wright, Rezko and Ayers, does Sen. Dillard reqret the TV ad he cut for Obama last year. [Watch Sen. Dillard discuss this topic].
-Will the state GOP cave in the next few months on its hostility to increased taxes? Will House Republican leader Cross lead the capitulation?
-Will 2006 10th CD Democratic nominee Dan Seals come back to beat Cong. Kirk [R-Highland Park] this year? Does Obama's almost certain presence at the top of the ballot result in an almost certain loss for suburban agenda Kirk? Are both Seals and Kirk playing a prevent defense?
-Is WTTW's Chicago Tonight in need of an aggressive political interviewer to boost its sagging ratings and its lack of balance? Which cable TV personality in the Chicago Metro area could provide it?
-Is it past time for a change in leadership in the State GOP?
- Could Colonel Jill Morgenthaler (D-Des Plaines) upset first term Republican incumbent Cong. Peter Roskam in the Illinois 6th CD? Watch Morgenthaler go after Roskam here. Is Roskam hiding from Public Affairs?
--Could Scott Harper upset ten year Republican incumbent Cong. Judy Biggert in the Illinois 13th CD. Watch Harper go after Biggert here. Is Biggert hiding from Public Affairs?
