Well, King Rod Blagojevich is at it again this year, stalling the state budget. Technically, all of the employees of the state should be on unpaid furlough right now and every state agency, other than emergency services, shut down. And King Rod says he's looking at the unbalanced budget looking for the appropriate areas to slice and dice with his line item veto authority, which he so callously used as a political weapon last fall.

One thousand bodies showed up to dole out chunks of hot sweaty cash to support their favorite potentate and Federal Investigatee - King Rod Blagojevich - the other night. Makes me wonder if any of them worry that they are now potential suspects in the ongoing Federal investigation of King Rod's Jobs for Donations program.

Julie Sayre of ABC-Fox News in Springfield was simply AGHAST as she introduced a story that Rep Bill Mitchell (R-Forsyth) has put a bill onto the floor in the General Assembly to *gasp* CUT OFF GIVING TAX DOLLARS TO ILLEGAL ALIENS! No, Bill, no! How COULD you think of of cutting off the flow of tax dollars to criminals, and making Illinois a less cozy environment for King Rod Blagojevich's favorite ethnic group?

How COULD you?

As if Illinois wasn't already in enough trouble - Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's BROTHER wants to be governor, to replace Governor King Rod Blagojevich in 2010? I swear, if the Democrats outside of Chicago make THIS dumb mistake, everyone with half a brain should leave the state before Prince William is sworn into office.

And good Old King Rod - there he goes filling his coffers to try to fight him off.

Old King Rod Blagejovich managed to declare Coles County a disaster area over the weekend - fully a week after the damn burst and the levy failed flooding the small town of Oakland. And it took a day to get Lake County disaster relief. Maybe you should visit us poor country folk here in central Illinois more often, King Rod, maybe you'd have some sympathy for our plight.

The Illinois Republican Party is hard at work in Decatur discussing how best to combat the rising tide of influence, nd power, and corruption of the Chicago Democrats, not just on the state scene where the Machine of Corruption already holds total domination, but also how to stop them from taking hold of the White House.

A century is a long time to wait for anything - and Chicago Cubs fans are holding their breath in a collective gasp as they see their north side home team enter June with the best record in the major leagues - and the best opening record the team has accumulated since it last won the World Series in 1908. Perhaps it is the discussion of changing the name of the stadium that is helping lift the infamous curse - or perhaps it is just their time. Or perhaps the Cubs will fold, once again, in ignominious defeat in a home field loss that breaks the team's fans' hearts.

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.

OAKLAND Illinois - The community of Oakland was filled with the sounds of chainsaws and heavy equipment Saturday morning, as this small town at the northeast corner of Coles County recovered from damage from high winds that rolled through the area Friday night.

So... are the Illinois citizens stupid, King Rod? Was the question stupid? Or, are you stupid for not acknowledging that you are in the gun sights of the United States Attorney General? I wonder if Clown Prince Emil Jones, who may be more politically savvy than King Rod, has covered his tracks, too?
