Yeah, it's a real mess right now. But hey, we're rated the third highest in the nation for drug addiction!

So there! :p

Good grief, just when you think you have heard it all. What are they going to do when boots go out of style and big calves come in to style? Why are people so willing to act like sheep and follow the heard. Probably some beautiful woman with some very attractive legs and not one single ounce of anything but air in between their ears. Sad so very sad.

Boot Calf.... it's the new Thigh Gap.

Not that men are much better, but we at least don't have the same pressure of media images...

Currently there is only one: Blago. Ryan was paroled in 2013.[/QUOTE

Hi

Four of the last eight though. It lessens you chances of jail if you're succeeded by a member of YOUR party. Personally I think you're guilty under the Rico Statues when you swear the oath of office in Illinois. You've become the head of a criminal enterprise.

—Rod Blagojevich — Governor from 2002 through 2009, when he became the first Illinois governor in history to be impeached. Convicted of numerous corruption charges in 2011, including allegations that he tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama's old Senate seat.

— George Ryan — Governor from 1999 through 2003. After leaving office, was convicted of racketeering for actions as governor and secretary of state. In November 2007, began serving a 6 1/2 year sentence in federal prison.

— Dan Walker — Governor from 1973-1977. Pleaded guilty to bank fraud and other charges in 1987 related to his business activities after leaving office. Spent about a year and a half in federal prison.

— Otto Kerner — Governor from 1961-1968. Resigned to become judge, then was convicted of bribery related to his tenure as governor. Sentenced to three years in prison.

Walker was convicted of crimes that occurred almost a decade after he left office, and Kerner died before appeal of his conviction had been ruled upon.
