— Ace Off message. So far off message he can't even see the message. So far off message he'd need a relativity-defying ansible to even relay a message to the message.
I think the Hadron accelerator/Black Hole Death Machine may have replaced parts of the universe with their mirror-universe counterparts.
Has anyone noticed if Blago was sporting a goatee when he said this?
Blagojevich, who supports favorite son U.S. Sen. Barack Obama for president, today criticized Democrats for belittling the experience of Republican U.S. Sen. John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and took a jab at the work of legislators who run for executive positionsBlagojevich, who said he spent two summers after high school working on the Alaska pipeline, readily defended the executive experience that governors have in contrast to legislators when it comes to being presidential material.
"I would hope the Democrats wouldn't say that about a governor," Blagojevich, a former state legislator and congressman, told [radio host Spike] O'Dell of criticism that the first-term Palin lacks experience.
"The reality is, governors every day have to make decisions for better or for worse. That's part of the job. It's an executive position. And it's a position that is like what you're going to do when you're president. Legislators, they do different things. They debate and they pass their bills back and forth," he said.
"But governors make decisions, and I think it's a tactical mistake for the Democrats to question Gov. Palin's experience when she's been a governor of a state," he said. "I don't think the size of the state is relevant. It's the kinds of decisions you have to make as governor. They (Democrats) should focus on the issues and why the policies of President Bush ought to be changed and I think that's what will help Obama win."
Just like a liberal gasbag to say such nonsensical gibber--
What?
What the crap did he just say?
Did he just say what I think he did? Did he not only champion gubernatorial experience, but demean legislative experience?
The One really isn't keeping his Apostles in line.
But you know who else had that problem? Jesus. Until he went all Goodfellas on Judas.* Then everyone got the message.
* Yeah I know the "Official Story." But engineers tell me that the rope which "hanged" Judas could not have supported human weight. Judas Trutherism is an entry-level conspiracy theory, and I'm getting in on it early so I can make lots of videos and lots of $$$.

Yeah but to be fair, Blago hates the legislature.
And they hate him.
Actually, everyone hates everyone because they can't get anything done but waste our money, and we're running out money to waste.
Just because they're all in the same party doesn't mean they don't want to stab each other with salad forks in a fight over who's money my money is.
So far the only thing everyone can agree on is : Not mine, that's who's.

Governor Rod lives in the Ravenswood Manor neighborhood, on the far north side. I live in the neighborhood just to the east, Lincoln Square. In the early days, I'd sometimes see Rod jogging around Wells Park with his bodyguards: an amusing sight.
His father-in-law, Dick Melman, is one of the last of the "Grey Wolves": the Chicago aldermen who manage their wards like feudal fiefs. He and Daley have an "understanding". Governor Rod has had his ups and down with his father-in-law: the old man basically took this obscure ward-heeler and made him first US representative, and then governor, but Rod has sometimes gotten a little uppity and needed to smacked down.
Obama is, of course, from Hyde Park, which is from the far South Side, and which has long been a thorn in the side of the Daley machine. But he and his buddies, like Jesse Jackson and the Reverend Wright, also have an understanding with the Mayor Richard II.
Trying to trace the shifting alliances among the various players - Obama, Jesse Jackson, Melman, Blagojevich, others - is like trying to follow the Wars of the Roses without a crib sheet. ("Just who the hell is Warrick the Kingmaker? And did Richard III come before or after Henry VI?") And it doesn't help that US Attorney Fitzgerald (he of the Scooter Libby trial) is digging into the bunch of them. Governor Rod could well be the second Illinois governor in a row to land in the steel motel. Two in a row, one Republican and the other a Democrat: try and match that, Louisiana!
Let me sum it up by saying that there's no love lost between Governor Rod and the Obamessiah. And anyone who votes for a Cook County Democrat for anything is out of his fucking mind.

I have conservative family members in Illinois who hate Blagojevich so much that they think the states should have FEWER rights because of all the junk he's pulled.
There are days I'd love to move back to The Land of Lincoln. Then someone reminds me of Blagojevich and the Chicago machine and Carol Moseley Braun and Turbin Durbin and Obama and... and... get the idea?

No offense to IL residents that check this blog out, but IL is the most fucked up state in the union - I lived there for 3 1/2 years and between the taxes, fucked up infrastructure, corruption at just about every level of government I was just amazed at how much wasn't getting done (this coming from a CA Native, no less...)

"But you know who else had that problem? Jesus. Until he went all Goodfellas on Judas.* Then everyone got the message."
Nice try Ace. Why do you think Jesus said "Peter, you are the rock upon which I will build this Church." Was it because I was a nice guy? Always first to wash the feet or anoint the head with oil, or to gather up the left over loaves and fishes?
Not freakin' likely. You must have me mistaken for that punk disciple Andrew.
Me? I was the enforcer. Yeah, Judas "hung" himself, meaning he put the rope arround his neck. But who do you think drug him to the tree? Me. Peter.
Who put the rope in his hands? Me, Peter.
And after he jumped, who was beating on him like a Mexican pinata till he croaked. Yeah, me. Peter.
Jesus may have ordered the hit. But I carried it out.

Metal baseball bats.
They must be banned! But before that we must argue for 6 months about just how hanned we want to ban them. Like, just ban them completely? Or ban them into the motherfucking dust?

Gravel is an iconoclast, but Blagojevich's effective desertion means that the Big Machine in Illinois doesn't think Obama is going to win.
No seriously, he hates the legislature, I wasn't fooling around.
It just means he likes to take pot shots at them and slam their responsibilities versus his, since they've both been blaiming one another for the failure to actually resolve any actual problems.
Posted by: Entropy at September 11, 2008 12:43 PM (HgAV0)
"Blagojevich spend most of his time shuttling between Chicago and Springfield ..."
He also spends a lot of time at Wrigley Field, where his Cubs are now enmired in a seven-game losing streak. Which began just about the time that McCain announced that Palin was his running mate.
Coincidence? I think not!

But as far as what Chicago polls are thinking, Jesse Jackson Jr. was on the radio the other saying we need to get rid of the electoral system.
He seems to think it's outdated, and that 'millions of votes in California' could cause Obama to win the popular vote but lose the election.
I've been wondering since if we are going to start seeing calls for an end to the electoral college. Not that I think it would help him anyway.
Well it would help him actually because 13,832,942 people would vote for him in Chicago.

Another in a long line of Democrats telling them to stop concentrating on Gov. Palin and get with the real fight.
He will likely be ignored. She is the bug-zapper, they can't help but head to the light...
"It's so wonderful, the light..."

Let's face it. Blagovich is done after this term and may go to jail. The dems have probably told him to fund his own defense because it's just too dirty for them to touch in this election cycle.
Blago is probably just repaying it in kind.

It was Robert Blackwell Jr. who employed Mr. Obama for a year, not quite cleverly enough concealed. Nobody has yet found ANY legal work done, much less enough to justify $ 112 grand. Later, Mr. Blackwell's other company got grants of about $ 300 grand for a couple of ping pong tournaments, helped by Obama.
And it was Blackwell who served in Blago's transition team - and a fundraiser for both Obama and Blago - who then got a $ 7 million dollar contract for computer work for the State, and subsequently subcontracted enough work to raise questions from the State Auditor General.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

McCain's choice of Palin (with her appearing to be a natural at politics) is changing the nature of both parties in a manner that Obama's choice did not.
Obama's selection by the Dem's changed nothing but surface characteristics of the party but McCain's selection by the Rep's (and thus his choice of Palin) is quite different.
Both parties are in the process of being forever changed.
For the better I think.
Look at how different people from all political beliefs are saying/acting in ways that they never would in any normal political year. Confusion and panic and clarity and contentment and more.
Look at the mass confusion in the polls. The demographics I mean; how groups are shifting all over the place.
