"The most corrupt of the 50 states...." Wow. It truly is embarrassing. The problem here in Illinois is that Chicago is the dominant population zone so the citizens of this city pretty much control the entire state. Blagojevich wouldn't even move to Springfield to live in the governor's mansion because "he didn't want to have to relocate his young girls" during his term in office. I'm oh so glad to know that he's worried about his girls ~ especially setting a good example for them and creating a legacy that they can be proud of.

Yikes, did you hear the words "they said" came out of Blagojevich and his wife's mouth? They ought to be ashamed of themselves...boy, really gives Illinois a bad name.
it is the same old story--people gain power and think they're above the law and the ones administering the law. Thank goodness the brilliance of our forefathers set up the separate but equal legislative powers. No one can rise above the other. Blagojevich ought to be sold to the highest bidder. I hear jacka** meat is expensive. Donate his money to people who really work and earn what they have.

I saw that article this morning!!! How could Blagojevich possibly think he was going to get away with those hijinks?!?! I'd also like to mess up his helmet hair!!!
Oh, I'm going to live forever. My dad says that the women on my mom's side of the family live forever because they're too stubborn to die. I've been called stubborn, stoic, strong-willed, hard-headed ~ and a few other things ~ so I'm counting on at least 80 or 90, if not longer!
Everyone I know with bad knees says they're worse than ever right now. Knock on wood, that's one complaint I don't have.
So, suddenly Illinois doesn't have a governor or a senator. Obama is trying to figure out how to lead the country and Blagojevich got caught trying to sell Obama's recently vacated seat to the highest bidder. I know it's Chicago but, really, the politicians there need to let go of their Al Capone, gangster ways. It's just embarrasing for the rest of the state. Now we'll all get a lesson on politics when we find out who steps up to fill the roles.
