In what can be described as either as a final death knell or the last punch in a beat down, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was found guilty in his corruption trial and has vowed to keep running despite his felony conviction. This comes on top of Governor Palin is causing strife in the McCaincampaign by going off message at almost every given opportunity. McCain aides have responded by calling her...
Ted Stevens (R - Alaska) has been found guilty on all counts. They are all related to him getting $250,000 in free work done on his house. Personally, I hope they throw the book at him (5 years x 7 counts = 35 years = the rest of his life) as an example to help keep other Congresscritters in line. Sadly, I'd put my money on zero days in jail.

...watch the sun give a brilliant morning display. The radio plays a love song. I could compare it to my life and listen as I marvel at this untouched world. This land has never known greed, vanity, corruption, violence. This land is hopeful; a land in need of someone who will keep it as a memory, so when the industrial human wages war and then declares victory; when the hills will hold mansions with...

In the beginning, a few of the early starters forged ahead in the polls, establishing a name for themselves, a trademark image, hoping...the price of their souls! Some day all of them would regret this decision. For most the regret would be too late. For a very few, redemption came before it was too late. This tale is fiction
... tempered with the stout midwestern ethic, Chicago would really be a shining example of what a city should be. Yet, it continues to mutate and degrade further into a slimy morass, a stinking swamp of corruption, mismanagement and chaos. It's the life story of someone who just can't manage to get their priorities straight. The longer I'm here, the more I'm disappointedin Chicago. Once upon a time...
