Blagojevich Reality Show In Costa Rican Jungle

As if Illinois weren't already in the spotlight enough due to the scandals of it's government.......You know, looking at Illinois as an insider, I really didn't know how the puzzle piece fit into the rest of the puzzle. I live here. Yes, prior governor George Ryan is in jail for the illegal sale of government licenses, contracts and leases by state employees. He was named in a 22-count federal indictment including charges racketeering, bribery, extortion, money laundering and tax fraud and is now serving prison time. Ok great. Next up after George Ryan, Governor Rod Blagojevich, the second Serbian American to be elected governor of any state in the United States, was arrested on federal corruption charges. He was charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. Another point in case regarding citizens of Chicago, in particular, is the well known and accepted fact that City of Chicago government has been corrupt for ages! Love Chicago. And in a sick way I kinda like Mayor Daley, but his camp (and his father's camp before him) are all incestuous in their business affairs. They're all sucking eachothers proverbial d*&cks, so to speak. And we just turn our heads the other way. Poor neighborhoods don't get potholes fixed in timely manners. Downtown gets a revamp of Grant Park that cost millions of dollars, yet schools are closing down in neighborhoods that can't keep up. I should back all of this up with some statistics and stuff but I'm going to have to do that another time. This post is actually intended to be funny. Wait, enter laugh...........As if Blagojevich's "couch antics" on all of the daytime talk shows weren't enough when he was "attempting" to defend himself to the public and garner media support (god knows HOW THE HELL he was going to do that all the while appearing to be a crazy felonious person) he now wants permission from a judge in the middle of his court case to give him permission (which he does NOT have now) to appear in a reality show in Costa Rica in June! He wants to be dropped in the middle of the Costa Rican jungle and appear on a reality show called "I'm A Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here!" Ummm.....whose guessing that this Sneaky Slimy Serb (sorry, I know a lot of really awesome Serbs....but this one's a slimebucket) is going to run off awol in the middle of Central America? BET. he gots a plane waiting to carry him off to the promise land. AHEM.

I cannot stop laughing (and also questioning more deeply the politics of this state) profusely in bewilderment over the antics of this guy WHO USED TO BE OUR GOVERNOR......how did we put someone like this into office? I wouldn't even call him an a-hole, I just call him a pathetic, seriously cuckoo, delusional, wack job out of touch with reality. wtf? So as a Chicagoan, there is so much that comes across our plates on a daily basis, that we just become sort of numbed by the usual corruption of our government. I think that everyone is so busy trying to stay on top of their own life they have little energy left at the end of the day to devote to making a difference. I guess that goes for most people. In the end, we end up shrugging our shoulders and laughing in dismay and going about our business. I also heard Chicago was ranked one of the most miserable cities to live in. That's news to me and I'm going to have to do some research. I love Chicago and think it's one of the best cities in the world.

Ok, enough ranting. I think you will all enjoy "I LIKE SQUARE BUTS" as much as I did.
