Further correction: the Republican majority in the House of Representatives was not caused by the 2008 election, but by the 2010 results.  As you may recall, Democrats had some guy named Obama at the top of the ticket in 2008.  They actually won 21 seats in 2008…

Some factual errors in this article: 1. Tim Johnson voted in favor of the Iraq War. 2. Gill has lost to Johnson 3 times, but not consequently. Steve Cox ran in 2008 and lost badly compared to Gill.

Espresso Royale Peeping Tom arrested

Posted in SPLOG to Link by Patrick Singer on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 9:25 am

Disturbing news has surfaced about a man who has been arrested for planting a recording device in the women's restroom and capturing footage of hundreds of women at the Espresso Royale on East Daniel Street in Champaign. Police got a tip after a woman spotted a camera in the restroom. Illinoishomepage.net has the whole story:

[Female customer] told [Espresso Royale manager Lauren Gramly] a camera was tucked away under a table in the bathroom.


"As she was telling me, he got up and ran out of the store and left all of his personal belongings behind," [Gramly] said.

 

The man left behind his cell phone, coffee and some mail. Those things led police to the Mahomet home of 57-year-old Michael Denight. When police searched the home, officers say they realized the problem was much bigger.  Police said they found hundreds of pictures of women and girls using the restroom.

 

...

 

Some of the victims were between the ages of 12 and 15 years old. Those girls and their parents have been notified. Because of that Denight faces two federal child pornography charges. He's being held in a DeWitt County jail. Denight faces up to 30 years in prison, if convicted.

@Spoonie - they’d have had to listen to any of the former employees’ ideas in order to know if they worked or not. If by “management changes” you mean “we have a different program director each year because it’s a student-led station,” then you’ve got a point.…

The PGU bashers don’t really know what they are talking about. First, there have been management changes. Second, the programming change needed to happen years ago. The format shift of 2004 was a disaster. Realize this and adapt. Some of the complainers here are likely a big…
