I just read in the NY Times that “Roland Burris is expected to announce Friday that he will not seek election to a full Senate term. ” After all he went through to faithfully represent the people of Illinois, how can he leave us?
And then I thought about Sarah Palin. She will resign for the good of Alaska. As she said, she can do more for Alaskans as a private citizen. This must be what Roland is thinking. He will not run for a full term and then he will vigorously fight for what the people of Illinois want. So move over Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, here comes Rolland.
And then perhaps, like Sarah Palin and other political greats, he may announce his run for
the Presidency. Imagine back to back African American presidents from Illinois. On the other hand, he could find himself in jail as a result of his contact with former Governor Rod Blagojevich. Either way, he’s going to have a few more lines to add to the grave stone.

Governor Ryan would like a bunk mate! We need to start a penpal club for Illinois officials in prison. The land of Lincoln is proud to claim Obama as the Hawaiian from Chicago! Glad I don’t live there anymore. A lot of hoboes from Chicago, like me are heading to Obamaville in San Diego.
You are correct. The great state of Illinois needs its own “Political hall of Shame.”
