Just Some Interesting Stuff.
1. BLAGO SHUTS UP-- Hard to believe but former guv BlagoMouth might not testify in his own defense after running the mouth all these months about how he really looked forward to getting on the stand and exonerating himself. I am totally shocked about this turn of events.
Today's Chicago Tribune editorial: "Rod? Speechless?" They never thought they type the phrase "Rod is speechless."
Well, let's hope that hurries the trial to its conclusion and the state's embarrassment will be over.
2. CUB REPORTER STOLEN-- Now, for a REAL tragedy. Someone stole the NIU Media Hound Statue. The 40 inch tall, fedora-wearing statue with a press pass and old camera around his neck was taken sometime this weekend from in front of the campus media center.
He was one of four dozen huskie (NIU spelling) statues that were placed around campus and town in the summer after the Feb. 14, 2008, killings.
Jay Orbik, NIU media services director used his own money to buy it and just hopes whoever took it returns it.
We've seen this particular statue on several occasions and it was probably one of the best of the 40 made and very appropriate. We hope it is returned as well.
3. BAD GOVS IN ILLINOIS?-- Today's Tribune editorial section also had a column by Eric Zorn "The worst Illinois governor?" And he wasn't talking about George Ryan, Dan Walker or Otto Kerner. Has BlagoMouth gone to the front of the list?
The editorial in the Tribune said the governor of Illinois "is so unscrupulous that his lack of principle gives him the appearance of audacity. he is not guided by courage, shrewdness or strength, but by his lack of principles. He is stupid, and his stupidity plus his indifference to public decency allows him to do the outrageous things for which any governor ought to be impeached."
This editorial was dated April 5, 1923 and was about Governor Lennington Small who served from 1921 to 1929 and supposedly had mob ties.
An interesting story.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
