Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The Father is Hawiian so there is that whole "culturally significant" thing your average weirdly named famous baby can't claim ::coughkal-elcoppolacagecough:: but his parents stuck with Jason Joseph Namakaeha Moma.

Blago was just impeached by the State House by a count of 114-1. His case now goes to the State Senate for trial.

Who was the one???

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Lovey Smith is in my building.

EEEEEEEEEEE! I love Lovey. He's always so unruffled.

I declare Jason Momoa and Lilakoi Moon to be the Zappas of our age.

I did not know that Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa were together. They were both with other people last time I knew.

They make a gorgeous couple, that's for sure. With ... a lot of hair. I bet the kid is beautiful.

I've always loved her, for reasons that are unclear to me. Him, he's just yummy.

Not too sure who the one who voted for Blago is. Someone here at work mentioned his name--it was one that no one recognized, and we all deal with legislative members all the time.

Speaking of Chicago events, Bike the Drive is going to be on May 24th this year for any Chicagoistas in possession of a bicycle. That's something I've always thought would be pretty cool to participate in.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

From Chicago Tribune:

The lone holdout in the Illinois House of Representatives' 114-1 vote to impeach Gov. Rod Blagojevich was Rep. Milton Patterson, a Chicago Democrat from the Southwest Side whose office is on West 63rd Street.

After the vote, he said he didn't feel it was his job to vote to impeach the governor. Asked whether he thought Blagojevich has been a good governor, he said, "I have no comment on that." Asked his vote should be taken as a defense of the governor, he said, "I'm not defending anybody."

Patterson said he wasn't comfortable with voting "yes" on impeachment: "I think the committee did an excellent job in the report, it was just there was not enough for me to feel comfortable with a decision to do that. ... I did not feel comfortable voting based upon what I heard and read, simple as that."

Asked whether he expected a backlash from his constituents, Patterson said, "I have no idea."

"I read the report," he said. "If the government is going to indict him, let them go ahead and do that. ... That's their job and I'm doing my job."

Asked whether he believed the evidence, he said, "I went by my own gut feeling, as simple as that, sir, that's all I can say."
