Well, if you haven't heard the negative news surrounding the governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich (now referred to as Rod), you just might be living in a vacuum. After watching Rod on The Today Show (1-26-09) this morning, I seriously wonder if he has schizophrenia. His grandiose comparisons to Gandhi, Mandela, and Martin Luther King almost made me lose my breakfast. And to add insult to injury I heard this morning that he may have an offer to host a radio talk show.
Although I truly believe a man (or woman) is innocent until proven guilty, this man is surely testing my convictions. His boasting about his initial thoughts on the tapes were a cruel joke played on him by friends, then claiming when ALL the tapes are released he'll be vindicated. Well Rod, I have news for you, it DOESN'T look good!!
If this article should gain enough popularity and reach Rod, my offer may be the best he'll get. Surely he will probably have a book deal, and maybe with my help a few choice recipes from his prison menu. I suppose time will tell, I'll keep you posted if I receive correspondence from him.
All kidding aside, maybe we need to look at how we as a people are empowering this man. The media has turned this into a circus, allowing him to spew menure regarding his innocence. Clearly an indictment or a trial will shed some light on this matter. Until then we will have to endure his claims of persecution and extreme innocence.
Even though Rod shows promise for bringing comedy and grandiose ideas to our show, realistically I know he would never accept. After all, I'm just a little fish writing an article in a BIG pond. Thank you for reading my thoughts, hopefully they brought a different view on a worn-out subject. AND, If he does accept our offer, of course I'll supply a press-release from Rod, perhaps from some prison zip code from beyond the stripes (bars) that bind him.

Top-level comments on this article: (6 total)Your article would of been much better if you actually explained, in your own way, what Sen. Rod Blagojevich did. Except for that, great job on the article it was very entertaining.
One wonders if all hands are "clean" in this "sale" when one thinks of "deals".
Another great article, Peter. I wonder how Blago can say he is innocent in view of tape recordings they already have. It will be interesting though to see how this all pans out. He is surrounded by many just as corrupt as he is and, I'm curious to see how many he fingers. He might even avoid jail time if he sings loud enough. But then, he'll probably be exterminated if he does.
Great job Peter!One doesn't get to see your humor to such a degree with recipes. I loved the bite! Personally, I think he is a pathological liar.Thanks for a good take on a bad individual.
So there is more spice to you than just in your cooking. You made me blush...but you know, the sad truth is that he would be famous for this kind of behavior. This is exactly why our country is a mess. No moral values and the public loves this kind of thing. His book will sell millions.Good article, leaving one with much to ponder. Blessings to you. Tersa
Unfortunately I don't know that I'd want to see Rod cooking in prison, Peter. That would be waaaaaaay TMI! (And yet, I still laughed. Go figure.) Good article.
