GOPUSA ILLINOIS Daily Clips - May 1, 2008
QUESTION: With its article yesterday (http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=182165), the anti-conservative Daily Herald made it clear that it wants to a) suppress attendance at the "conservative" National Day of Prayer service in Wheaton today and b) boost attendance at the "alternative" service in Naperville today. How successful will the Daily Herald be?

http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/wiser/925716,CST-FTR-rule01.article
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois' brassiest and sassiest recently retired ruler, Judy Baar Topinka, had plenty to say about how the city would be different. Quoth Judy, "There's too much testosterone out there trying to prove itself." While acknowledging that women do have egos, she thinks that they can accept loss better than men and are more willing to share power. Women routinely seek out win-win situations because "there are no great shakes in declaring a winner in everything.")
-- Rezko case draws attention of Congress - Chris Fusco
http://www.suntimes.com/news/watchdogs/925929,CST-NWS-watchcorner01.article
(THE ARTICLE: Allegations raised in the Rezko corruption trial that prominent Republicans Karl Rove and Robert Kjellander tried to pull strings to oust U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald from his Chicago post have drawn the attention of a prominent member of Congress -- House Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.). "The committee has heard substantial and credible allegations that [Rove] played a significant role in the firing of United States attorneys and allegations of selective prosecution," says Conyers, adding that the allegations leveled "in Chicago only add to those troubling questions," and "the committee intends to investigate the facts and circumstances" surrounding them. Kjellander and Rove have denied the allegations regarding Fitzgerald. Former Blagojevich administration official Ali Ata could testify about them today during Rezko's trial.)
