Post-1994 South Africa. Ah....it was all supposed to be kum-bay-yah, and people are still celebrating this Mandela guy. They even put a statue of him in London, I have no idea why, unless they want it to follow in the footsteps of Jo'burg.

Has anyone found the Taste of Chicago madness on youtube or the net yet? It looked like an election in Kenya gone bad. The video is real, and it speaks for itself (sorry deniers), is there link to it?

If Blago keeps his stupid crap up as long as he is in office he might need the Illinois National Guard to protect himself:


"Members of a major labor union walked out during the governor's speech.. And five top elected state Democrats boycotted the event..."

"...The governor was greeted with a chorus of boos at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield..."

"...Governor's Day is supposed to be a celebration of party unity. But most of the state's top Democrats were boycotting the event because of the toxic political climate...."

Oh, Blago. He'd be funny if he weren't such an incompetent Neanderthal. Well, he's kind of funny, anyway....but he's more like gallows humor.

Bridgeport is not one of the neighborhoods that Blago is talking about.

That was kind of a random thought. Not sure I follow...
