DO NOT FORGET TO SIGN UP AS A FOLLOWER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYTHING MY BLOG HAS TO OFFER. I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO HEAR FEEDBACK FROM THE READERS.
I noticed several typos and grammatical errors in a posting recently. I am sorry. I will increase my efforts to avoid these errors on the future. I understand your time is important and when you take the time to read a post it should be worth your time. I will improve.
GOOD MORNING ROD BLAGOJEVICH AND GOOD BYE.
The Blago spin is the Government only got him on one count. They couldn’t prove the other 23 Counts. His lawyers are ranting and raving against the U. S. Attorney’s Office for concerning themselves with little old Rod while people are being killed on the streets in Chicago. It is everyone’s fault but Rod’s. Everybody did something wrong but Rod.
Although the jury convicted him of only one Count, Blago did not beat any of the charges. On the other 23 Counts, at least one person and usually more, found against him. The verdict has to be unanimous either way, guilty or not guilty. Blago did not get any not guilty findings.
The attorneys for Blago ought to understand they are in Federal Court, defending against Federal charges. I know it all comes from us but, the money being spent to prosecute Rod is Federal money. It is not used for Chicago Police. Mayor Daily should keep the streets safe not the U. S. Attorney.
Not too long ago, a Chicago alderman mentioned the National Guard should be brought in to clean up the streets of Chicago, Daily did not want that. Very few people want that. The National Guard is a military unit. It paints with a broad brush; they don’t do windows.
Blago can claim am empty victory; his attorneys can blame everyone but themselves and their client but, in fact, yesterday Blago woke up, today Blago wakes up a convicted felon with prison in his near future. WHO DO YOU BLAME FOR THAT OTHER THAN BLAGO?
For most of us, life goes on. Yesterday Dan Rostenkowski was buried. Although he was once a convicted felon and served jail time, he was pardoned. He had a few unfortunate episodes in his long life but Chicago is better off for him having lived. I doubt I will ever say that about Blago.
Say a few Hail Mary’s and Our Fathers for our troops and your friends today.

On point & without grammar issues. Well said.
ReplyDeleteOne point I would like you to possibly address is something I heard by a news commentators 'expert' is that the bigger issue is that "of the last eight governors is Illinois, four have been convicted" (of actions made by them in abusing their powers.
What does this say about accountability, perception & power in Illinois 'leadership'?
Looking forward to reading more....
