You heard it here first - Illinois still whack:
Imprisoned former governor George Ryan nominated for Nobel Peace Prize: [link]
Blagojevich: Arresting me just like Pearl Harbor: [link] (Special bonus demagoguery: Removing me will result in Huge Tax Increases due to...something or other.)
Thank you Illinois for bringing on the entertaining news.
off to work...
Well, Ryan does have a legitimate claim to some human rights cred what with the death penalty stuff, and there is precedent for people who have mixed records (I'm looking at YOU, Henry K.) for getting the Nobel, so that's not terribly freakish.
However, Blagojevich continues to bring the capital-C Circus back into IL politics. Why hasn't he been forcibly escorted out of office yet?

I like to think they're waiting until they can do it on a special episode of
Rock of Love 3: Bus.
I'd like to thank Bill O'Reilly for my biggest laugh of the morning:
So, the lesson here is clear: No longer can the American media be relied upon to bring us fact-based information. The news media has entered the ideology business much like talk radio. This will greatly harm the nation, as unbiased information is critical for an informed citizenry. The collapse of journalistic standards was a huge but largely untold story in 2008.

Seriously, Bill? You crack me up, you big ole' hatemongering douchenozzle assberet.
One of my coworkers I don't know well has a birthday tomorrow, and it turns out she's turning 35. I came *this close* to making a huge gaffe and assuming she was joking and is actually older, phew. I had put her in her early 40s - I'd have guessed 42 - partly I guess because she's got a 15 year old son. But she's younger than me. Near miss, dudes.

Do you suppose there are signs on the motorways announcing "You are now entering Titty Ho"?
East Coasters--is today being less stupid than yesterday was, so far?
Yesterday was really stupid.
I have already gotten stuff done today! Or, at least, started the process of getting stuff done. I call that a win so far.
