A tough week for Governor King Rod Blagojevich in a short four day span. A discrimination lawsuit against him is moving forward, an independent auditor sampling a minuscule portion of the state's contracts found some hanky panky going on with how King Rod doles out our tax dollars - and his buddy Tony Rezko gets indicted in Nevada for more gambling related shenanigans. Oh - and the House has collectively told him to kiss their ass on the budget.

And King Rod's Clown Prince, Emil Jones, continues to stonewall through rule procedures measures that could help curtail the hijinx emanating from the throne room, probably another bone on his way - does he have a nephew or something needing a no-bid contract, one has to wonder?

And this week, it was revealed that the wunderkind of the Chicago Democrats, Barack Obama, is no stranger to the dirty games played against anyone they face-off against, with the discovery that his first election from his (I quote the AP) "gritty south side district" (give me a freaking break, huh? Hyde Park is hardly a gritty neighborhood, many of the economic elite of Chicago - and the nation - live in that neighborhood) was one through eliminating the competition through legal hoodwinks via petition challenges - NOT through an open election.

Kids - Illinois needs major change, and soon. Throw out your incumbent Democrat next March before it is too late.
