REMINDER - Tomorrow is Tax Protesters Tea Party across America.  Effingham's event will be at the Lake Sara Beach Open Pavilions at 6 pm.  Please attend and bring a friend!  They've got a great motto, "Party like it's 1773!"

Blago update
It's predicted that former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich will be arraigned today.  This is the opportunity for him to plead guilty, or not guilty on the 16 counts of racketeering, extortion and fraud. 

A Tuesday quiz for you:  (Assuming Blagojevich ends up going to prison - And I'm willing to give odds on that) 
In what year was the last Democrat Governor elected to office in Illinois who DID NOT end up going to prison?

It was 1948 - Adlai Stevenson.  Since Adlai's election, and for more than 60 years, every Democrat elected to the Governor's office has ended up doing jail time. 
(thanks to Bill A. for the info)

    Should we just move the governor's mansion to Joliet state prison? It'd kill two birds with one stone!
