Illinois: The State Money Couldn't Buy

Shakedown:
Exposing the Real Jesse Jackson

With a title like that to a blog post, you might thing I am implying Illinois is an ethical state. Naturally, it is known that it is ethical, though which system it plays by is not clear.

With the Madigan Dynasty beginning, the Daley Dynasty ending, the string of corrupt or screwed up governors, a sitting United States president who barely worked in the Senate before campaigning full-time, a former Chief of Staff who quit midway into the admistration to begin his own non-corrupt mayoral bid, Reverend Jesse Jackson and Son and their mistresses, and a essentially bankrupt state --

Wait? Did I imply a state with bad ethics?

No, we, the City of Big Shoulders, want to lead the State of Illinois to look more like Detroit, MI or New York, NY with a dash of New Orleans, LA.
