King Blagojevich
CHICAGO – Federal authorities arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich Tuesday on charges that he brazenly conspired to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder.
Blagojevich also was charged with illegally threatening to withhold state assistance to Tribune Co., the owner of the Chicago Tribune, in the sale of Wrigley Field, according to a federal criminal complaint. In return for state assistance, Blagojevich allegedly wanted members of the paper's editorial board who had been critical of him fired.
A 76-page FBI affidavit said the 51-year-old Democratic governor was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti.
Otherwise, Blagojevich considered appointing himself. The affidavit said that as late as Nov. 3, he told his deputy governor that if "they're not going to offer me anything of value I might as well take it."
"I'm going to keep this Senate option for me a real possibility, you know, and therefore I can drive a hard bargain," Blagojevich allegedly said later that day, according to the affidavit, which also quoted him as saying in a remark punctuated by profanity that the seat was "a valuable thing — you just don't give it away for nothing."
The affidavit said Blagojevich also discussed getting a substantial salary for himself at a nonprofit foundation or an organization affiliated with labor unions.
It said Blagojevich also talked about getting his wife placed on corporate boards where she might get $150,000 a year in director's fees.
I tried calling in gay to work today because I was mad about the Texas Longhorns not being allowed to play in the championship bowl game despite having convincingly defeated Oklahoma, who played in Texas' place. But my boss, an Alabama fan who knows I also cheer for the Florida Gators, told me I had better get my gay ass into work or I'd be gay unemployed. Dammit.
Anyone associated with medical care who uses the politically correct and highly flexible term 'gender' instead of the biologically factual term 'sex' is a politician and not someone who needs to be performing medical procedures on anyone's heart, especially mine, biatch.
You know what else showed promise in Africa tests? DDT, bitches! Nothing ever did more to stop malaria than DDT. But the PC pioneers, way back in the early '60s, began their 'social experiments' with scaring people into giving up their very lives as a result of totally fabricated bullshit. And then, as now, they had lots of help from a very compliant, but poorly educated media.
There are still parts of the world in this day and age where you can go to the mall and buy a bull - a real, live pooping, charging, rampaging bull. Of course, the results of this are sometimes predictable.
Even dogs know that affirmative action, hate crime laws and all other PC policies are nothing more than bigotry, hatred, and discrimination packaged as a gold-plated turd in a shiny box. Unfortunately, many lawyers, judges, and politicians aren't dogs, they're snakes.
It's a shame that political correctness and all its associated madness couldn't be quarantined and cured before spreading throughout the Western world. Unfortunately, some of the insanity associated with social progressiveness has spread to the golden shores of Australia, leading government to encourage the Australian people to eat kangaroos, wallabies, Kiwis, and now camels in an effort to 'save the world'. For most in Australia during this month-long celebration, anything remotely edible, as long as it's served with cold beer, is perfectly OK. Except poop-flavored desserts. No more serving of poop-flavored desserts.
A man in a nice black dress, matching stockings, and long blonde wig with non-matching beard and mustache robbed a bank in Sydney today. Witnesses said s/he had a fairly nice ass, but clearly fake breasts and wasn't very good at walking in high heels. An anonymous source claimed the robbery was to raise money to buy a good birthday present for Sydney billionaire Fingers McGee.
A Mexican man stole a policia cruiser while cruising around on foot in Mexico, freely admitting that he intended to steal the wheels and tires, but then 'got distracted' and ended up cruising around for 2 hours, with police hot on his tail, before crashing the car and being arrested. He said he watched a lot of TV, especially the American show "Cops" and felt inspired by all the episodes filmed in Los Angeles.
Naturists vowed Tuesday to fight plans to close one of Britain's first nudist beaches, after authorities said erosion had left too little space for families to share with Madonna's gigantic ego. Madonna is known to frequent the beach ever since moving to London in response to everyone in America making fun of her for being a low-class whore who made it big.
And now for something kind of cool ...
