This Woman Just Won the GOP 9th District Congressional Primary in Illnois

In the stranger-than-fiction category, Susanne Atanus just won the primary in Illinois' 9th district. She'll face incumbent Democrat Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the fall. Here's Atanus in a candidates' availability for a local paper:

Mmmkay. I'm sure Jan Schakowsky has her work cut out for her.

(h/t Daily Kos)

Note. Yes, I listened carefully, and Atanus does seem to want to "get rid of the indexes" -- that would be the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and NASDAQ -- because they're "rippin' off, robbin', and draining the middle class." Uh....a champion of the middle class!

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
