I published the above Associated Press photo in Tuesday's paper with the boldfaced slug I used as the title of this post. LOL I ran it by one of the sports guys (code name: G Money aka Slick) first and he saw no problem with it. I was quick to point out that the article referred to Blago's self-imploding behavior as a "media circus" and that it mentioned him as craving attention and adulation, so I figured I was on pretty solid ground. My boss (nor anyone else, for that matter) never said a word when I got to work today, so I guess I got away with my little jump page jab at my home state's highest (actually, if that were literally true, it would explain a lot) elected official. ;-)
When I saw the interview where Blago basically compared himself with Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., I said to myself just wait until Jon Stewart gets a hold of this. And boy, was I right! On Monday night's Daily Show, Jon led with that very same clip. Yikes! Also, I must admit a certain amount of glee when I read that Mrs. Blago had lost her cushy, six-figure job. My reaction, particularly in light of the current economic crisis: BOO-FUCKING-HOO! LMAO!!!!!
I need to write an opus about my own much less than six-figure job, so I pledge to do that very soon. As crazy, frustrating and challenging as my position is, I am ever grateful to have landed this job when I did. And extremely thankful to even have a full-time job with benefits at this particularly horrific time in our nation's employment history. Every day seems to bring a fresh tale of massive layoffs and cutbacks.
Let me take this opportunity to say I sincerely hope that Madame X is doing OK at her new job (wherever that may truly be) and that each of us manages to survive this current economic downturn. Ah hell, I sincerely hope that all of you get past this fucking shitty epoch and reach a place of peace and tranquility (whatever that may mean to you individually).
In the meantime, I raise my brimming glass to the next governor of the Land of Lincoln. May he or she bring nothing but honesty and integrity to the job.
PS. I'm sorry, but Roland Burris has absolutely no sense of integrity. Whatever looks good chiseled on that mausoleum, eh, buddy?
PPS. I'm now up to more than 4,500 hits and I just wanted to thank my regular readers for keeping the faith. I certainly don't post as much as I would like (or need) to, but you must admit, it's never been a boring journey, ;-)
