1. Illinois - Corruption in government has to be crushed whenever it is found. It is the single largest threat to our social fabric. If Governor Blagojevich goes to prison for this (and boy, should he) he'll be second governor of that state in the can. Amazing. Plus, he totally has NO upper lip. He looks like a muppet.
2. I don't get it. Why is our legal system so built around cutting deals instead of delivering justice? O.J. needs to go to jail, but do we really need the the dangerous guy who was willing to get the guns and threaten the victim walking the street? Isn't he a pretty big threat to all of us? This kind of thing has always confused and frustrated me. When I was in high-school, the father of 3 kids at one of the other schools in town had his wife killed for the insurance money. The two hit men he hired got off basically scott free because the prosecutor SO BADLY wanted to nail the husband. Shouldn't there be balance? Those two dirtbags who were willing to take a couple grand to shoot a mom in the head on the side of the road are WAY more scary to the rest of us than the husband who was on drugs (allegedly), in debt, and a general mess. He got the death penalty and those two are out there walking around right now. Stupid. Just stupid.
