Quick Hit: Governor #41, your table is ready
Not much for you today, except to give my belated gratitude to the Illinois Senate for ending the tenure of Governor Blagojevich. May Pat Quinn be a better governor, and may Illinois start digging out from the whole it is in. It feels good to have a governor who actually considers it an honor to live in the people's house in Springfield, doesn't it?

Quick Hit-Enough with the ****Gate crap, please?
To the "responsible" media of the United States:
Please stop referring to every little scandal with [description of scandal]gate. It was old and hackneyed during "Whitewatergate", where it sort of made sense. Today it is just lazy and confusing, as if the original scandal involved water, instead of the Watergate Hotel.
I know this has been said by people far more influential and intelligent than I am, but I just wanted to get this on record. It is one of the many things that make me disgusted by the so called fourth estate, not even counting the embarrassment that is Faux News.
Sincerely,
Augstprairie
