He Gone!

G-Rod can't hold that Cubs sh*t over you any more.

Neither can his wife.

Now that he's been impeached, I'm sure he's got a lot of time to sit in the bleachers if he's not invited to Club Fed, first.

As for Illinois' new governor, I can't wait until he finds himself in a controversy after trying to sell some White Sox seats at U.S. Cellular Field.

On behalf of the part of the TBDS staff that resides in the state of Illinois, good luck Pat Quinn.

As for the rest of us, I am unsure we are adequately prepared to live in a world where our President and Governor are both White Sox fans.

I think I better bet Obama/Guillen for the '09 World Series.

HOT ROD

If I weren't so busy with final exams before a graduation Saturday, I'd spend 30 paragraphs telling you that Illinois has the most disgraceful, corrupt and hilariously dumb government in the U.S. And A. But... until I'm done, just look at the picture (credit indignantonline.com) and laugh.

Developing Story: Blago, the Cubs and the Feds

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (a.k.a G-Rod or Blago) was arrested today on several federal charges.

Can anyone tell me why being Illinois governor is a dead end job? I guess G-Rod and George Ryan can figure that out together in the slammer.

For those of you who read this site that are not politically inclined, here's the Cubs-related news nugget you're waiting for:

"Blagojevich and (chief of staff John) Harris also allegedly conspired to demand the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members responsible for editorials critical of Blagojevich in exchange for state help with the sale of Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs baseball stadium owned by Tribune Co."

I wonder how this will effect that whole Jake Peavy thing?

Only time can tell.
