Roland Burris in the News Again!

Roland Burris back in the news again for allegedly lying to the senate counsel.  Apparently, he withheld information because it wasn't answered correctly.  So he didn't lie; he just did a Sarah Palin and didn't answer the question.  And he is being scrutinized by the media.

This has the US Senator in the hot seat with many asking him to resign and be brought up on charges of perjury.

Sen. Roland Burris only casually flagged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Sen. Dick Durbin about the affidavit he sent to the Illinois House impeachment committee -- the one where he came clean about multiple contacts with ousted Gov. Blagojevich's brother Rob asking him for fund-raising help.

This is what the brothers do to their "baby mamas" when she ask “did you go out with Shenicka?”

He waits then replies, "I went out with some friends."  If she doesn't follow up by asking specifically which friends, then he would get by, but when she brings it up later and says “I asked you if you went out with Shenicka, and you said 'no' now you saying you did.”

He would simply reply, “I didn't say no, I said I went out with some friends – friends like Shenicka, Latoya, Denise, Patrice, Monica, and Adrian were out and I said I went out with some friends.”  So is he guilty for perjury?  Not exactly, but he would be guilty for withheld information, vital information and the follow up questions were not asked.

I'm interested to see how this pans out.

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?
