Badly need your help. When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice.
I am from Taiwan and learning to write in English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Synthroid dosages, cheap breast augmentation revision, sample free synthroid dosages."
With best wishes :(, Cam.

Governor Blagojevich Signs "Brianna's Law"
CHICAGO – Governor Rod R. Blagojevich signed Senate Bill 934 into law, providing insurance coverage to parents of children with autism. The new law, also known as "Brianna's Law" and which received overwhelming support from the Illinois General Assembly, will provide coverage for all individuals under age 21 for the diagnosis and treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) up to $36,000 per year. The new law is named for Brianna DiCianni, who was diagnosed with autism in 2006 and was denied coverage by her family's health insurance company.

Just a thought: Sarah, for the greater good, fought the machine in her state. Barack worked with the machine to further his political career.
Speaks volumns, no?

Agree - Barone, York, and the great Thomas Sowell stand out sublimely, this is what makes Barone's above article a disappointment.
Thank you for taking time to express your appreciation. Your analysis ranks among those of these learned gentleman. Hope to link to it in upcoming article for etherzone.com.
All the best,

What I find astonishing is Blago's supreme comfort with such bald-faced corruption. You know that it has to be a huge problem in Illinois. As to The Messiah, I find it pretty pathetic that his supporters still think that someone can rise from and thrive in such a fetid cesspool of mendacity and corruption and think, "Lo, beholdeth The One. He knoweth not of such sin!". Puh-lease. I cant wait to hear what Blago's bagman Tony Rezko has to say about a certain real estate deal and who asked him to do it and why. Oh, and I hope Blago hangs tough. They actually don't have much (if anything) on him and I suspect that there are more than a few Illinois legislators who would really prefer that a whole bunch of facts and associations not see the light of day. Heh.

How about arresting him and jailing without bond? The only thing worse than a corrupt public official is a pedophile or rapist. Wake up voters!!

Not sure about where "le tout" Chicago is. Is dat over by da Back of the Yards? I had a cousin grew up over there but got rousted when it turned Spanish. Ya sound like one of them Hyde Parkers Barone. Blago ain't so dumb. I hear he carries a pretty good tune. I think Fitzy is gonna ask him to sing a few bars about Patti, Barry and Tony the magical real estate fairy: "Home, Home on the South Side."
Oh give me a home
where I pay $300K be-loh
Asking price fer a mansion...
And the side lot still sells
For full listing - but don't tell
That the broker was Patti Mell!
Home Home on the Southside
Where Farakhan and Bill Ayers play
And never is heard
From fed'ral prosecutors
or subpoenas for bank records.

To paraphrase Kipling, If you can walk through a swamp without getting your boots muddy, you must be a saint Barack ain't. Obama may be innocent of any crime himself but how much
did he know about the crimes of others and could he be guilty of that old saw "misprision of a felony?" Rahm Emanuel is apparently caught on that hook and he won't go down easily. Who would he take with him? Who will Rezko take with him? Who will "Rod" take with him? Glad I am not a democrat (I've always mistrusted people who tell me how much they will do for me) and not a resident of Illinois. Its time people recognize the Democrats for who they are, self-seeking, power-seeking, greed-driven solipsists who promise you a free trip to paradise. Ain't no free lunch; the working class is paying the
bill.

Who's the dumbest senator? My money's on Boxer, but Specter has always struck me as deeply stupid. Or are you too big a chicken to play this game with anybody who isn't, presumably, going to jail?
