Minnesota has its problems, too: which is one reason that I do research before elections. Entirely too many news services print all the news they feel like printing. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the Chicago Tribune seems to have been responsible in one aspect of this case. <BR/><BR/>That's another topic.Brian H.

Blago maybe corrupt, but not obama. Obama did it for us! There is a bailout for the people. Everyone qualifies. I got $750,000.00USD in grants for my bailout. <BR/><BR/> <A HREF="http://moneyloansfinance.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Claim your free Bailout Grant</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162431493776686444.post-39157952994770144102008-12-09T13:27:00.000-06:002008-12-09T13:27:00.000-06:00As someone who lives downstate, I would say that t...As someone who lives downstate, I would say that the bloom has been off the rose of the Blagojevich administration for some time now. There was hope, when he came into office, that he would represent a departure from Gov. Ryan (who, you may know, was tried and convicted of corruption and is now in federal prison). Sadly, the State of Illinois seems to be a two-time loser.<BR/><BR/>Illinoisans will be watching carefully, I think, to ensure that this doesn't happen a third time.<BR/><BR/>Fool us twice, shame on us, right?Midwest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095161837187839812noreply@blogger.com
