exerpt from www.miniluv.com:
This may have been the governor’s first year attending the Illinois State Fair, but he did learn to love pork.
Illinois Governor Blagojevich condemned the funding of the pet projects of legislative members while on the campaign trail. Now that he is in office, things are different.
As reported by the Tribune's Christi Parsons, Blagojevich has approved approximately $140 million in project requests. Most of it has gone to House and Senate Democrats, or for the governor's own priorities. Some lucky Republicans who went along with the governor's programs got a piece. But there has been an emphasis on political spending, not fairness or value.
One special project that didn’t get a piece of this $140 Million is the White Hills clean up project
Make no mistake, this was politically motivated pork. Consider the so-called White Hills in Downstate Livingston County. The hills are actually piles of gypsum left behind by an abandoned fertilizer factory. The hills feed highly acidic material to surrounding ponds--which have turned a surreal shade of green--and threaten to kill the fish and contaminate the Vermilion River.
Sen. Dan Rutherford (R-Chenoa), who represents the district where the White Hills are located, opposed much of the governor's legislative agenda. So the $1 million state grant that locals were hoping to receive to begin cleaning this toxic site suddenly went puff.
While the governor neglected the health of the water and wildlife in Livingston County he did fund other initiatives for his supporters such as an Opera House in Woodstock IL, a veteran’s memorial in Oswego IL, and the beautification of an intersection in Burbank IL. Livingston County is just where Chicago sends its garbage. Woodstock, Oswego, and Burbank on the other hand are all Chicago suburbs. Of course we aren’t insinuating Governor Daleyojevich would give Chicago preferential treatment.
The people of Illinois don’t have much money to spend during these trying economic times. We depend on the environment for their biggest industry, agriculture. The people of Illinois need clean land to grow their crops. We don’t like Opera and we don’t like Governor Blagojevich’s political punishment and rewards.

Monica, we are on for tonight. I'm looking forward to it.
Oh god, boy of the week, That is how I felt most of the time.
Boy of the Week is a good name; nice and nonspecific. It applies to all girls who go through boys like toilet paper, and the stupid boys who let them.
Bianca's Place sounds like a scary cobwebby attic.

Thanks, I needed a new number for prank calls. Just kidding.
I got a prank call tonight. They left two messages but I couldn't understand what they were saying so I checked the caller ID and called them back. They used the same crazy voice and I berated them on the usage of such voice. After giving them a tip they said they'd leave me alone. I really didn't care and my only regret is the poor job they did.
The number they called from was 622-8882 so feel free to prank them whoever they are. I'm too lazy to look through my phone numbers to see if I know them and who it was. It was my home phone so it may have been a random tromp through the phone book.
