The majority of profs I had were conservative (females, even). One hid it quite well (philosophy), the other was a blatant nutjob, which I had a confrontation with in class, and scheduled a meeting with the Dean about her). Apparently the number of churches in the area is very high, along with do-gooders who don't venture into Chicago very often. ArghhhhhH! I took a few classes at the college of DuPage…in Wheaton.

In your love letter to Hastert, you failed to mention how he removed Joel Hefley, a Reagan Republican, as chairman of the House Ethics Committee for merely doing his job by admonishing Tom Delay for some violations of ethics.

Will his desk chair be big enough to accomodate his ample derriere? The conference room better "double as an office for Hastert" because he is too much of a whale to fit into a normal sized office. Hastert is the poster doughboy for what is wrong with us today: we're too fat- this is why our healthcare system sucks, because fat people are putting too much pressure on it. Give Dennis doughnuts and little boys and he'll be a happy clam. Will the door be big enough for Hastert to fit through? Will his desk chair be big enough to accomodate his ample derriere?
