Don’t Call It A Comeback

Been missing your recommended daily allowance of  Rod lately? Rumours say that Governor Blagojevich will be one of the contestants on the new season of Celebrity Apprentice.

Steve Webster, a spokesman for the show’s producer, said he could neither confirm nor deny that, because no contestants have yet been confirmed. The show’s 14 contestants won’t be announced until late January or early February, Webster said.

American Police Force Corporation Takes Over Small Town Police Force

Written on September 30, 2009 – 4:58 am | by Freedy |

How is this for fiction becoming Reality.  I’m reminded of the corporations in Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.  A newly created California corporation, named American Police Force Corporation show up in a Montana town with SUVs emblazoned with logos identifying them as the town police.  Except the town doesn’t have a police force, it’s covered by the Sheriff’s department.  They are there supposedly to take control of the empty jail, and fill it with prisoners, for a profit.  But no contract has been signed, and one of the people responsible for making the deal for the city has been placed upon unpaid administrative leave with no explanation.

Prostitution is like politics, duh.

Written on September 20, 2009 – 9:56 am | by Freedy |

I couldn’t pass up a chance to post a link to a picture of Rod Blagojevich and Ron Jeremy together.  Also there is Dennis Hof, who offered Rod a job working as a ranch hand when he was impeached.

“I don’t think [sex] is the kind of thing people should pay for,” said Rod, while talking with Mr. Jeremy and Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch.  But he’s right about prostitution and politics being like each other.  Somebody is gonna get screwed, somebody is gonna make money, and things can look pretty at first but turn ugly real quick.

Prostitution is like politics, says former Gov. Rod Blagojevich to sex industry bigs.

Charlie Crist Doesn’t Know What You Are Talking About

Written on September 17, 2009 – 12:31 pm | by Freedy |

Governor Charlie Crist, never one to pass up a moment in the spotlight, instantly regretted it the other day when he returned to the mike to tkae one last question, and it was to ask his opinion on what Rod Blagojevich had said about Crist’s seatwarming tactic.  Crist claimed later to not know anything about Blagojevich’s statement.  WHich is worse, Rod trying to sell a seat, or Crist filling it with a chickenhead until he can take it?

Steve Nunn Injured, Estranged Girlfriend Fatally Shot

Written on September 14, 2009 – 4:42 am | by Freedy |

Steve NunnFormer GOP State Representative Steve Nunn was found injured, his wrists slit, by police, who he shot at with a .38-caliber handgun.  He has not been charged with actually shooting his girlfriend, just violating the order of protection she had against him after he assaulted her.  I don’t get the wrist slitting.  He’s a GOP member from Kentucky with a gun!  Wrist slitting is something that liberal Democrats who voted for Obama and crave gun control do for attention.  On the bright side (for Republicans):  he’s not gay!

Rod Helps Unemployment Level

Rod, his usual, self-deprecating self, played along with Jimmy Kimmel “selling” one of the guest seats. Jimmy told him he could keep the money, but Rod, said only if Jimmy would hire three unemployed people.
