I ususally avoid politics, but couldn't pass on this: Yep, my state's governor, Rod Blogojevich was impeached today, by the Illinois House of Representatives. The final vote was 114-1, as only 1 Chicago area lawmaker (Milton Patterson) had the audacity to stand firm with Blogo. I simply couldn't pass up the phrasing from the House Special Investigating Committee, which was created "to investigate allegations of misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, and other misconduct" . That a lot of feasances....
Blogojevich's activities far transcend the clumsy attempts to sell Barak Obama's US Senate seat, although that is what has gotten the most national press. If you want to read about the joys of Illinois politics, here's the report.

i loved his "speech" at the press conference after the impeachment.
hollywood couldn't do better for a film about a loon pol!
He should have been born in Louisiana. Maybe he can share a cell with former LA governor Edwin Edwards.
