#1 "I indeed would be honored and humbled to succeed him in the U.S. Senate. "

Of course, the rest of us will be sickened...

#2 Governor Blagojevich has troubles of his own. Mr. Rezco is apparently still talking to the Feds. But I imagine Representative Jackson, Jr. would accomplish quite as much in the Senate as Barack Obama has these last two years.

#3 To imagine someone this close to Jessie's tree being humbled would "...require the willing suspension of disbelief."

#4 Un-frickin believable. I think I would resign my commission and head to Australia.

#7 Representative Jackson, Jr. would accomplish quite as much in the Senate as Barack Obama Multiplying any positive integer by Zero always gives the same results.

#8 How about a friggin election? Like they have in democracies?
When the troops come home from Iraq, we need an 'Operation Illinois Freedom'
In IL the political aristocracy just hand off offices to their spawn...

#9 Multiplying any positive integer by Zero always gives the same results.

There is indeed that, Anguper Hupomosing9418. These little mathematical facts can yield so very much amusement. ;-)

#10 I thought he was the non-voting representative from D.C. I thought you had to at least be a resident of a state to represent them. Am I missing something?

#12 Of course a negative interger multiplied by Zero is also zero, and JJJ probably qualifies as a negative.

#13 Can't we cede Illinois and Chicago to Canada? That would make BO ineligible to run and Jackson to replace him. O.K. that's my fantasy.

I'm looking forward to McCain and Palin winning on Tuesday. Just maybe this will be true!

#14 Whatchoo got against Canada, John? Most of the people up there don't deserve him either?

I say cede them to Russia. Who would notice?
