5. Monday wasn't a total loss for Rod Blagojevich. His beloved Cubbies scored a crucial victory over the Rockies and now are a mere 14 games under .500.
4. When the jury convicted him on 17 of 20 corruption charges, Blago said he was stunned. A totally predictable reaction. He's the kind of guy who thinks he can fool all of the people all of the time. And why not? Each of the six times the corrupt buffoon ran for office, a majority of his Illinois constituents voted for him. It's understandable that he doubted 12 jurors could see through his b.s.
3. Blago's successor, Pat Quinn, had better hustle. He has fewer than four years to do something crooked enough to become the third straight Illinois governor to serve time. I'm confident he can do it!!
2. If I'm Patti Blagojevich, I'm thinking: "I ate a tarantula for that?"
1. Lots of people believe they live in politically corrupt places. For example, friends in New Jersey and Arizona and here in my new state of North Carolina actually think they're No. 1. Please. elected officials in Illinois take oaths promising to meet graft minimums.

Thome to Ozzie: This bomb's for you!
^
The List
Three reasons why Minnesotans are happy they aren't Illinoisians these days:
3. While You Know Who is coming back to QB the Vikings, Jay Cutler is only a wannabe until he proves otherwise.
2. The Twins have Jim Thome. And, thanks to Ozzie Guillen's preference for bunters over bombers, the White Sox don't.
1. Minnesota's governor often is mentioned as the possible 2012 Republican nominee for the U.S. presidency. Illinois' last three governors: one jailed felon, one freshly convicted felon and one guy who is in so far over his head that his business card should have a picture of a shovel on it.
The Bald Truth
Well, at least Ozzie isn't stuck with that one-dimensional, lumbering lug Thome clogging up the basepaths and keeping Mark Kotsay from playing DH.
The Balder Truth
Jon Garland is still making Cubbie fans cringe. But hey, he's no Matt Karchner.
THE BALDEST TRUTH
As most of you know, I'm moving to North Carolina. I've been warned by a few locals there that some of their politicians are corrupt.
After nearly 16 years in Illinois, I could offer only this response:
"Some? Only some? Jeesh, what a bunch of lightweights!"
