How ironic is this? The Land of Lincoln, Honest Abe, and the last two Illinois State Governors have been arrested and indicted for fraud and conspiracy. A Total of 3 Governors over the past 35 or so years have been arrested.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

If you do not yet know, I am referring to Illinois State Governor Rod Blagojevich being quietly woke up this morning by a phone call from Federal Officials outside his home in Chicago, telling him to quietly get dressed and come outside to them. To which the arrogant elected official said, and I quote: "Your joking right?" Check out this article from the Chicago Tribune:

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich arrested on federal charges

What is so interesting is that he, Tony Rezko, and President-Elect Barack Obama all reside in Chicago, a city that is fraught with enormous amounts of corruption. From regular city officials all the way to the President Elect himself, all of questionable character and backgrounds. What is wrong with us that we ignore such blatant acts of dishonesty and theft that we continue to elect such people?

When are we going to have someone rise up who has a sense of dignity, who is just, who is respectable, and who truly has the people of the state as his best interest? Blagojevich was supposed to be this great reformer, and all he has done is ruin the State with outrageous tax increases, shady deals, and horrible judgement calls when it comes to the State Budget.

Mayor Daley is right behind him in his destruction of the City of Chicago. It is my opinion that these men be stripped of thier power for all the incriminating evidence against them and for the General Assembly of the State to appoint worthy leaders to get this Land of Lincoln back to a place where Honest Abe himself would be glad to call home.

Think about it.
