This is Michael J. Whelan for the WJBC Forum.
Three years ago today, September 2, 2007, my dear friend Pat Weber died suddenly and unexpectedly. The devastation to his family and friends is still being felt to this day. It is for me to say this, for fear it will be taken the wrong way, but in

DEADBEATONIA WELCOMES YOU
Several years ago, a guy in western Illinois was calling the area Forgotonia. If the State of Illinois doesn't get serious about its financial situation, the whole place may get renamed Deadbeatonia. We've been heading in that direction for years. In 2003, Bl

I'm Dan Irvin.
It's probably just me, but this past Saturday seemed like the first Saturday of summer to me. People were out in their yards, hollering across the street, crossing the street to visit neighbors. The brief break in the heat-wave seemed to bring us outdoors.
This is ironic, of

This is Pamela Sweetwood for WJBC's forum.
In the two weeks since my last forum, it's been eventful. I just missed last time the end of the trial and the verdict, or lack there of, regarding our former governor. My reaction was true disappointment but I was also disturbed greatly by the buzz

While I was on our annual family vacation a few weeks ago my wife picked up Time magazine and I turned to one of the most intriguing articles I have read in a long time.
I didn't realize when I was a teenager how a simple and driving vacation with my parents would help me get to where I am toda

Americans are prejudiced. No doubt about it. And we are more prejudiced when we are upset and scared. This of course is merely human. We are no more or less prejudiced than the rest of the world, and they, like us, tend to get more so when times are bad and when they're scared.

It's year number 33 for me as an educator in the Unit 5 Schools, and I can honestly say I've never felt so sad about the state of school funding as I have this year. McLean County is only the tip of the iceberg across our state and nation where teache

I promise that this will be the last time, at least for the foreseeable future, that I spend my two minutes of Forum time talking about various types of reunions. Listeners may recall that this summer I talked about my forty-five year high school cl

One piece of evidence of candidate Barack Obama's supposed brilliance was that he had taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. One hired to teach such a class at such a prestigious law school would be expected to be at least fairly conversant with the subject. However, there was
