A million thanks.....

John, A million thanks for the kind words.

Burris photo

where is the photo?

At 71,

He sees it as his last chance to make a final notation on his life and accomplishments to complete the inscriptions on his tomb he has prepared for himself.

Interesting, pathethic maybe, but in that light understandable.

IF BURRIS...

had a shred of character, pride in himself, or a sense of duty and history, he would have spat in Blago's face.

Instead he groveled and slavered like Renfield to Blago's Dracula.

I guess he is perfect senatorial material after all...
