"Kettle, you're black!" - the pot


If Rod Blagojevich wants to attack Judy Topinka, he needs to ask a different question than "Where's your education plan, Judy?"

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

A great question Governor. Where's your education "plan"? Why can't the public see the study that purports a lottery sale would bring in $10 billion, the study by the same company that made a bundle off the last privatization plan? Where's the breakdown of how your "plan" will affect each legislative district and each school district, for the next 25 years, or the next four years, or even the next one? Where's your memo explaining how a State Board of Education that can't even get a simple test out on time once a year is going to start taking over school districts and operating them day-to-day?

And please, for the love of all that is Holy, can you explain to us all in detail why you can't seem to find the political will to lead the charge for major property tax relief for millions of Illinois families, but you've decided that Hollywood needs a white knight in shining armor to champion tax breaks for the movie industry?

I hope somebody in that camp is certified in the Heimlich maneuver, because they're going to choke on all that hypocrisy.

Both parties should look into MUNICIPAL BOND WORK of minority companies. Especially those that hire daughters of State Senators and have convicted felons as the REAL OWNERS in violation of FEDERAL LAW. Martin Cabrera is forbidden by law of donating money due to Federal Securities laws.

Thanks Anon 9:58. I guess I'm just a crybaby like Tom Cross, Frank Watson, Mike Madigan, Dan Reitz, Brandon Phelps, Kurt Granberg, the IEA, IFT, and everybody else who's called for the Governor to release the details of his plan.

Actually, I'm not crying at all. I guarantee you I'm having a better day than the poor guy who dreamed this fiasco up.

Diogenes, with his lamp and his quest for finding an honest man, would be whistling in the dark around the leadership of this country and this state. I guess it takes a rich crook to become a successful politician anymore.
