Bag of Chips, Full of Nuts

After perusing the complaint against Blagojevich (I know: I have a problem), I have decided this guy deserves a medal. Not only was he asking for money for the Senate seat; when he found out the Feds were onto him, he proposed using some of this money to pre-pay his defense attorney. But my favorite bit was this:

"ROB BLAGOJEVICH has spent significant time weighing the option of appointing himself to the open Senate seat, and has expressed a variety of reasons for doing so, including frustration at being "stuck" as governor, a belief that he will be able to obtain greater resources if he is indicted as a sitting Senator as opposed to a sitting governor, and a desire to remake his image in consideration of a possible run for President in 2016, avoid impeachment by the Illinois legislature, make corporate contacts that would be of value to him after leaving public office, facilitate his wife's employment as a lobbyist, and assist in generating speaking fees should he decide to leave public office."

What, no squirrel?

Overheard in my apartment this morning:

"Yes, I heard that you have moose and deer?...
Great, I would like one large moose, one large deer, and one small moose....
Yes, that's going to be delivered...."
