Blago Blabbo doesn’t pay…

We had to listen to him for nearly three years squawk about how he didn’t do anything wrong – loudly, arrogantly, and continually. We had to deal with him defying his first attorneys who probably told him to keep quiet (they got out quick.) We had to hear about him blathering on on the Celebrity Apprentice…and the [...]

The return of Blago blabbo…

I predicted lots of Blago blabbo after he was convicted on one measley count in August. To my complete surprise, I was wrong. We haven’t heard much at all from him compared to last year when he was everywhere. I thought that his new lawyers told him that it’s time to zip it. Unfortunately, now [...]

Unexpected good fortune…

I wasn’t too thrilled to get my jury duty notice. It seems that I’m getting called every three years or so when I keep hearing about people who somehow have never been called. I’ve reported to so much jury duty that I’ve been at multiple courts multiple times! I did manage to get some reading [...]

More Blago Blabbo to come…groan…

Blago already is going to appeal the one measly count he was convicted on. Then there’s the other 23 counts that will have to repackaged and retried. Lucky us will get to hear all about it…for a long, long time…with lots and lots of Blago arrogance, denial, and righteous indignation. Gag me with a chainsaw [...]

Is it for the children?!

I really hope Blago’s kids insisted on coming with their parents to court today for closing arguments. I really hope that his children were not there as a defense ploy to generate jury sympathy. It must have been very difficult to hear the prosecution outline their criminal case against Blago, their father. Those girls have [...]

Blago Blabbo…

As if we needed more, it will be all Blago all the time for the next few months around here. Of course, there’s been plenty of Blago a lot of the time ever since he got arrested 18 months ago. As we all know by now, he’s innocent. Well, it’s time for a jury of [...]

Relief

After nearly two months, the Blago debacle is over for Illinois. His delusional behavior goes on, but at least the state doesn’t have to deal with the ramifications. I’m sure the circus will continue, and since he’s no longer governor, I will be more entertained. However, I still feel for his two daughters. They didn’t choose [...]

Time to impeach Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, and Mahatma Gandhi (whoops, I meant Blago)

I’ve been resisting the urge to comment about Blago. I’ve already made a few entries and everything he’s been doing/not doing confirms my entries (see “Stubbornness.”) But his comments on Today are his most delusional thus far. He’s like Mandela, Dr. King, and Gandhi, suffering for his “cause,” which rests on his just election by [...]

Stubbornness…

I’ve often wondered about this personality attribute. As seen this week with Blago, it can be a very detrimental, annoying, and maddening trait. People who dig in their heels and will not see any other way other than their own can be extremely difficult, whether to deal with them or live with them. When they [...]

Daley, Urkel, & Blago

It’s amazing how much stuff I can bring over here from my old Yahoo blog from last year. Given yesterday’s debacle, I find this entry from October 2007 appropriate: Daley, Urkel, & Blago “…or maybe I should say corruption, corruption, corruption. I have not been happy with these three. Urkel is the worst. Hiring relatives [...]
