Ponzi, Ponzi, Ponzi....(sigh)....

Y’know I almost miss the good old days of the never-ending campaign...key word being almost...I gotta say tho’ that having Illinois politics in the news is a welcome change from the everlasting joke of our California situation...I understand that the old joke about fruits ‘n nuts ‘n California never gets old back in the colder half of the USA ‘n I can live with that the same as I live with the incessant earthquakes, fires, mudslides ‘n illegal immigrants...but anyone that follows California politics at all knows that poor ol Arnold is being lobbed back ‘n forth like a shuttlecock in a never ending game of Badminton...our California Legislature has an approval rating just slightly higher than the Congress which is easy to understand since for some reason we keep electing the Al Frankens of the country to represent us.....Minnesota is a lot funnier than California...They had Jesse Ventura ‘n now they got Al Franken plus they got mosquitoes bigger’n our California condors...The only place worse right now is Chicago...I don’t think I c’d take living in Chicago....no wonder Mike Royko died, the politics just plain wore him out....
Anyways, the question raised was....”Somehow we have to find a way to reform campaign finance! We can’t keep shaking down state contractors, foreign donors, and city employees!”.......And the answer is.......wait for it..... straight from the Democratic Party playbook....wait for it....wait for it...”We’ll just shake down everybody else...well, everybody but us cuz, y’know, somebody has to run the darn thing.” Y’know, the famous Ponzi scheme actually worked until Albert Ponzi began to believe his own scam ‘n darned if I don’t believe that our wunnerful politicians have hoisted themselves on their own petard.
Let’s give it up for Blago!
