I'm so jealous of you Illinois people. If only something really fun would happen at Charlie's wedding.
You mean like a seekrit gay lover making a scene?
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, you think? Moron.
Hey, he only asked for like $10 million, right? Hardly anything in the greater scheme of losses the company has had!

How does the license being fixed correlate to the part falling off the truck? Was that something a qualified driver would have been able to prevent?
I'm actually curious, not doubting. Just trying to see the correlation.

Oh in Boston recently we had State Senator Diane Wilkerson, who refused to resign her seat after the FBI had her on videotape accepting a cash bribe and stuffing it into her bra.
And don't forget less than a month later ANOTHER state rep got caught taking cash on videotape. HIS response was to start having press conferences that the media and The (White) Man were out to get him. He seems to have missed the irony of getting large amounts of press for compalining that the press is out to get him.

I'm listening to Pat Fitzgerald right now (WGNradio.com is carrying it live). Sounds like the Tribune knew about the bugging as it was happening and his office convinced them to hold off on publishing it until last Friday.
ETA: Loved Fitzgerald saying that if Illinois isn't the most corrupt state, it's sure in the running.

Yes, proper securing of the load was something that any properly educated and qualified driver should have known.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"I’ve got this thing and it’s fucking golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for fuckin’ nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there,” Blagojevich said in one conversation, according to the complaint. Elsewhere, the complaint reads:
ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that the consultants (Advisor B and another consultant are believed to be on the call at that time) are telling him that he has to “suck it up” for two years and do nothing and give this “motherfucker [the President-elect] his senator. Fuck him. For nothing? Fuck him.”
