Chicago Politics: Train Wreck!

I love this place; it is everything America should be. What mystical land I am referring? Chi-town or Chicago if you will.

Blagojevich, my hat off to you for proclaiming your innocence to the end. The Illinois' House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to impeach the Governor, and now it goes to the Senate. I hope when he is being interview he asks, "Define bribery."

I was just talking about this guy

Governor Rod Blagojevich, Illinois, was arrested this morning for trying to sell Obama's Senate seat.  Yeah, this is the same guy who is boycotting the Bank of America from yesterday's post.  Gawker gives us a little information about Governor Rod's ideas about what Obama's seat could go for:

1. a salary from either a non-profit or organization affiliated with unions

2. placement of his wife on corporate boards where she could make $150,000  

3. campaign funds, including cash upfront

4. a cabinet position or ambassadorship for himself

Chicago politics at their best.

Illinois boycotts Bank of America

My roomie who calls Chicago home told me tonight that Illinois is boycotting Bank of America. Apparently, Bank of America called it quits on granting credit to the Republic Windows and Doors. As a result Illinois' Governor, Rod Blagojevich, has called for the state of Illinois to suspend business with Bank of America. The Republic Windows and Doors had to cosed their doors leaving many out of jobs with little to no notice.
