The United States will flat out legalize drugs just to get the space to hold all the politicians who will be facing prison time during President Sarah Palin’s first term.

The government is some crazy hybrid of medieval feudalism and bureaucracy, but it is actually run well. Richard II gets a good amount of support, even among Republicans, because he is a pragmatic ruler. The alternatives are horrible ideologues who are off the deep end. G-Rod is uniformly despised around here. His policies are amazingly bad. The GOP and machine democrats were allied against him. This has been LONG in coming to him. A note on Chicago:

What further evidence is needed to see how corrupt the MSM has become? Here the media source attempts to hide a genuine news story of tremendous interest and importance: the president-elect caught in a boldfaced lie within the larger context of corruption "crime spree" taking place in Chicago. Utterly Despicable. One further thought about the Carol Sowers article (taken down by connecttristates.com) about Obama meeting Blogojevich on November 5 to talk about Obama’s senate replacement.

I wouldn't be surprised if she's gone into hiding. Regarding my last comment: so now it looks like Carol Sowers ‘misspoke’ as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s gone into hiding.

CHICAGO, ILL. — Now that Barack Obama will be moving to the White House, his seat in the U.S. Senate representing Illinois will have to be filled.
That’s one of Obama’s first priorities today.
He’s meeting with Governor Rod Blagojevich this afternoon in Chicago to discuss it.
Illinois law states that the governor chooses that replacement.

Appears Axelrod was right. Even the “gov” has the meeting on his web site.
