Blago ... Go... Go... Gone!
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts … a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and
fury, Signifying nothing."
It's been a wild and hairy week up here around the southern shores of Lake Michigan.
We've been told by Mr. Disowned, with the most Al Capone-like sincerity, that doing "good things" for a few people (including Himself) is sufficient excuse for doing Bad things for the rest of the State.
Not that I have much sympathy. In 2006 Illannoy could have picked a non-machine FEMALE governor two years ago… but the Daley Outfit & the Madigans knew it would be their downfall, so they put the Word out… and Judy Baar-Topinka was crucified… allowing The Hair to be the Martyr. Whatever. Blago's gone (until the Fed Prosecution/Trial News Releases) and Good Riddance.
What remains to be seen is whether or not "Hot Rod" can accelerate fast enough to get to the Fed Prosecutor Fitzgerald's office to Sing before the Choir Leader has him silenced.
If he's fast enough, there might actually BE some "Change"… but THAT "HOPE" is fleeting... BO sure wouldn't want to see it. I wonder how much Blago likes the taste of Deep Lake Michigan Water… it's not like he has either State or Outfit bodyguards/security any more…
In the meanwhile, the congenial, but addled, Senator Burris has shifted from "Blago's The Smartest Governor ever to appoint a Senile Narcissist to the Senate" to "Rod Who?" displaying, again, how utterly contrived and controlled his appointment was.
Frankly though, I'm not too sure that's a bad thing. One "Eddie Haskell" from Illannoy in the US Senate is enough.
Ah well. Regardless of what Chicago & Springfield think, as long as we have the Chicagoan In Chief, Illannoy will remain an international laughingstock.
There are other things on my mind though.
The CiC has "inherited" a lovely financial crisis, created by the Party in Charge of Financial Policy, where he has to figure out what to do about rising unemployment, hostile foreign cavemen (with explosives) and 49% of the population who innately knows that he is a self-serving Tool for the Chicago Machine & Urban Socialist Policy.
Fortunately for the One Party running the State, if they can delay the Complete Collapse of the US by Prolonging the Suffering through today's profligate spending of tomorrow's GDP, they can hope to outlive/starve to death those Old Timers and Red Staters who know their history... and how to shoot back. ...
Fortunately for those who Understand the Constitution, we know you can't save a sinking ship by drilling holes in the hull to let the water out.
Things are about to get very interesting… in the Chinese sense.
But that's OK. It's not like The One REALLY cares much about anyone who doesn't get Media Coverage just by breathing. Maybe that's why he didn't show up at the American Legion "Support our Heroes/Medal of Honor Inaugural Ball.
Yes, I'm still PO'ed about that. I'm even MORE PO'ed that "MY" American Legion would give the POtuS a Pass by saying he "couldn't" attend… when he was just smoozing with Hollyweirdos & Leftist Freaks.
The first "Black President" was also the First to snub our MoH Heroes – Black & White. Saul Alinsky would be proud.
Two (Chicago) Idiots. Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing… except maybe the temporarily thwarted Corruption and the ongoing Collapse of The Republic.
God Save America…
