Good journalists are some of the smartest, most honest people you will ever meet. Democracies cannot thrive without a good, strong, free press.
Tragic that we have lost so many. 💔

Illinois continues to illustrate taxation without representation. IL-15’s Trump Republican House Rep Mary Miller is declining to attend Meet the Candidate events.
Refuses to work. Refuses to bring money back to IL-15. Refuses to meet with constituents.

Screenshot from World of Warcraft A character kneeling before a memorial site
The Empty Chair Eulogy for a Gamer By Jolly Blackburn There is an empty chair, at the table this day. A hallowed place where, a friend once played. The roll of his dice, my ears long to hear. Or perhaps it would suffice, if he should suddenly appear. With character sheet in hand, and a bag of Cheeze-doodles to share. All his friends would stand, as he sat in the empty chair. I hear his voice a-callin’, And it ties my heart in a knot. For he cries, “Though a comrade has fallen, You must play for those who cannot.” We conquered worlds on the run, he and I in the name of fun. And as others may come and go, I make both friend and foe. But what I long for most, is our past now long a ghost.
In loving memory of ....
