Nope. No money worries here folks. Nothing to see. Keep on moving.


Blago should be in jail for this stunt alone. Rod just approved a raise for non union state workers. This raise will cost you and me $14 million and, of course, it is NOT in the budget. This group had a raise in 2002 and now another one in an election year, of course.

Rod says the State can afford to do this now. The budget is balanced, after all, and Illinois financial condition is "improving."

What Blago really means is, "GUYS, RELAAAAAX! I STOLE ENOUGH MONEY FROM THE TEACHERS PENSION FUND FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS, not just one!" Yup. The State has plenty'o money in its coffers for this year and next because of Rod's foresight to steal enough money to cover his ass this year and next (election) year.

Kids, time for a pop quiz. The following question counts for 100% of your grade.


Former President Bill Clinton is a womanizing pig as Gov. Rod is to....

a. A lying sack of crap.

b. A thief and a lying sack of crap.

c. Chicago's favorite political whore, a thief, and a lying sack of crap.

Think of her at tonight's City Council meeting, Bill.


Poor Mr. Dennis. He will be up late again tonight, covering yet another round of Budget woes at City Hall. Look for more whining from Grayeb. Pray for more sarcastic wit from Ardis. Nichting will want everything but oppose any honest method of paying for it. Spears will be dreaming of Springfield. Gulley will be dreaming of a new tricycle for Christmas. Turner will be talking out of both sides of his mouth, hoping to keep his seat alive in the next election. VanAuken has learned to keep it short, smart,and sweet (yes, I noticed), Manning will continue to shine as Mr. Productive, Jacob will keep it all to himself, Morris will talk about everything, and as always stand for nothing, and Sandberg will play himself as a wildcard. Really, Bill, why go? It's cold outside. Scarlett wants to keep you warm at home.
