You people NOT from Illinois ... you can not begin to understand how things work that the "appoined one" or Mesiah hails from. Example:

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Governor's Mansion in Springfield, Illinois. One was from Chicago, another from Tennessee, and a third from Kentucky.

They all went with Governor Rod Blagojevich to examine the fence.

The Tennessee contractor took out a tape measure and did some measuring, then worked some figures with a pencil. "Well," he said, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me."

The contractor from Kentucky also did some measuring and figuring and then said, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew, and $100 profit for me."

The Chicago contractor didn't measure or figure, but he leaned over to Governor Blagojevich and whispered, $2,700."

Governor Blagojevich incredulously whispered back, "You didn't even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?"

The Chicago contractor whispered back, "$1,000 for me, $1,000 for you, and we hire that guy from Kentucky to fix the fence."

And that, my friends, is how it all works in Illinois politics!


Another example, your NEW U.S Secratary for Education came from the Chicago Public School system as Board President - has done nothing, did nothing, and the schools are in Chicago are going down the tubes.

We are going to change America; yea ... right.
