Oh Boy Blagoy!

As with the rest of the world, I am pretty shocked that the Illinois Governor refers to his power to appoint Obama's Senate successor as "f***ing golden. I am not going to just f***ing give it away." Oh no, you are not. Not at all, low-life. You just don't expect this kind of stuff. But I don't want to pile on that sorry excuse for a leader. 2 points really struck me on the story:

1) Do they now listen to everyone and everything? I think he should be put in a stockade in the public square for a long time where people can throw rotten tomatoes at him. Just humiliate and make suffer. BUT, he didn't even get to do the crime, he was just talking of it. So there is the issue of the Feds, there is the issue of privacy, of a sense that every thing we can say someone is listening to. But now it is legal it seems, PATRIOT Act, RICO, war, police-worship, military-worship state. This is a real problem.

2) Prosecutor Fitzgerald says "Lincoln is rolling over in his grave." Well I hope so since he was honorable. The fact that a titan or righteousness would be appalled is no measure. How about, "Nixon would roll over in his grave." Is not that what you meant, Fitz. Oh well, it is a weird saying and probably should not have been uttered.
