blago is one of MANY IL govs to get indicted. its no surprise - his administration has been corrupt since day 1. the governor just previous to him is currently serving time in fed prison for corruption also. before them, there were also other illinois govs who have been indicted or convicted & spent time in prison.

the best coverage on this will be from the chicago tribune, the local paper, which has been elbow deep in investigating him for quite some time. the only reason this guy won his reelection last time was because the republican who ran against him was the crazy former state treasurer who was a woman nobody liked.

again, cannot say im surprised at all that he was arrested - i think everyone in chicago will agree we all knew it was going to happen, it was just a matter of when.

feel free to ask me questions since i am local & have experience in the past covering this as a journalist.

the only things that i think are crazy are 1) how big his balls really are to be saying the things he was quoted as saying, and 2) that he was stupid enough to have those convos in his office & over phone lines when he knew he was under federal investigation for months & months

i was listening to a chicago talk radio show earlier today and busted out laughing when they said on november 4th, guv was already scheming with advisers how to make a buck off of obama being elected. he really is a major idiot. all of the other statewide elected office-holders have called for him to resign or "step aside" today, which really mean the same thing, its just semantics. if he doesnt resign, there are already state reps & senators who plan to begin impeachment proceedings.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
