Those Folks In Illinois Have All The Fun

Oh to live in the land of Tammany Hall. Is Boss Tweed Back? OK..OK...So Tammany Hall was in New York City. But I think they moved to Illinois. Maybe Al Capone invited them over to hang out. Ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was doing his best look-alike of big Al. And now the newly appointed U.S. Sen. Roland Burris from Illinois acknowledges attempting to raise money for ousted Blagojevich. Burris did not bother telling the state House panel that recommended Blagojevich's impeachment about his fund raising activities. BUT THIS ONE IS BETTER THAN ALL THAT FUN: An Illinois man changed his name to "In God We Trust." WHAT??? Does that mean we owe this guy all the bills in our possession??? You gotta love this country....Free Enterprise means you can make it if you try hard. It also means you can fake it if you want to be dumb, stupid, ignorant, a thief and liar, or a politician (which, of course, encompasses the previous two). RIP [by the way...when I Googled "Boss Tweed" a site regarding Donald Trump came up! What's up with that????!!?]
