Governor Rod Blagojevich Is Out!

Rod R. Blagojevich is the 40Th governor of Illinois. He was first elected in 2002 and was re-elected in 2006. Blagojevich was born in Chicago in 1956. He graduated from Northwestern University in 1979 and earned his law degree from Pepperdine in 1983. Prior to being elected governor, Blagojevich was a Cook County Assistant State's Attorney. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1996.

All this means nothing to the former Governor who was thrust out of office today.  For one or two hours today, I and the people of Illinois were without a a governor.  The senate voted him out 59-0!  Wow, Rod did not have a friend in the world.  You would think he had at least one senator or state rep to say, "Rod I got you main, 58-1 man..."

No; not one.  Now we in Illinois are without a king, without an ephod, without symbols.  A moment of silence for the ousted Gov...It's very disappoint... - shhhh!!!

Mr. Roland Burris with Dirt on His Shoulder

Happy New Year; first blog of the year starts with a scandal...yeah I know right!

Roland Burris was appointed by the scandal plagued Governor Rod Blagojevich.  This has created an uproar within the state, the democratic party, nationally, even in my home.

It's just a weird situation.  Rod is innocent until proven guilty but to allow him to pick is risky.  What if he is found guilty?  Do we revolt Burris?

This is the scenario I have played in my head.  You have Lucifer in heaven and corruption is found in him and he is going to be removed from his seat.  Before he leaves, he appoints another demon because that was his job.  

Now I'm not calling the governor Lucifer or Satan; and I'm not calling Roland Burris a demon.  I actually like both of these guys.  However; I am saying the situation is similar to the one found in Revelation 12 (Bible class is coming in handy here).

Would God let Satan make that pick?  Different government; different beings, I know.  In this current case, because the way the government is ran; Governor Rod Blagojevich still has this power no matter how corrupt he's been and we have to go along with it; business as usual.

At worse, in my opinion, of the candidates heard on the FBI spy taps; they should not be an option; but after that if the Governor selects a well qualified man or woman; I think it should fly.  Until he is proven guilty he is signing other bills right?  Tell me what you think?
