Photograph of the Morning
Two exciting photographs emerged from the daily morning blog surf. You choose. Either the luxurious Rolls Royce passing its way thru a McDonald's fast food drive-thru or vintage Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich meeting his mentor Richard Nixon. I've struggled my entire educational career to grasp the term 'irony' (Alanis Morisette's famous song led me astray); however, I might be close on this one. Which photograph is more ironic?

The Rolls is ironic, unless it was bought at a liquidation sale. Hmmmm, I wonder if Plax's asking price for his Rolls has gone down since he shot himself...
The second one won't be factually ironic once Blags gets convicted and sent to prison. Nixon was never convicted and since he was pardoned he could never be convicted. Nixon was impeached (a charge that cannot result in anything but a loss of position and title, and only ever admitted to poor judgment.
Richard Nixon = true American hero
The Good Doctor would kill me if he didn't see the sarcasm.
Kind of odd that Blags had his picture taken with an Elephant president. Just shows that no party is totally sound.
It's pretty ironic that Blags is getting convicted for trading political favors for cold hard cash, meanwhile Senators can trade votes to get cash for the people they represent, even if it's completely not in the nation's best interest. The United States' extremely high corn tariffs result in at least tens of millions of deaths annually because people in 3rd world nations can't afford their staple food (corn). All so that we can have a start our election cycle 18 months early...
Starvation in Africa makes page 26, but 600k for a Senate seat is the front and back cover. 600k can buy a lot of corn in Rwanda.
