Blago is certainly milking his transit give-away for all it’s worth. You’d think he was planning to run for Gov again. There is a term-limit, isn’t there? I sure hope so!
I can’t begin to count the number of letters and postcards from him, praising his give-away. What is this going to mean to me? I mean, with all the public transportation in McHenry County to take me all the places I want to go, how much will I save?
Probably not so much as he has spent to tell me I can save money! What am I going to do? Ride Metra to Crystal Lake to go shopping? Yeah, sure…. and then hoof it to Northwest Highway from downtown Crystal Lake. Or worse…. What if I miss the "Crystal Lake" stop and leave the Metra train at the Pingree station? I'll be stuck in the middle of nowhere until another train comes along (in about two hours).
Why would Blago even be wasting State dollars to tout this give-away? The newspapers have covered it. When I slide my RTA pass into the machine, it will recognize me and not charge me; right?
So I do NOT need the Gov to keep telling me about this “great” benefit. I think it might be worth $5 to me in 2008. Thanks, Guv.
The most recent letter from the Gov tells me that he hopes I will take advantage of this new program. “You’ve earned it.”
How stupid! Just how did I “earn” it? By living long enough to reach a certain age? That’s all it takes. Listen, Blago, that’s not “earning” anything.
There is even a website where seniors can pre-register for their free rides. The only problem is that many seniors don’t use computers and don’t have email addresses. I tried to register one senior (with her permission). Although there were asterisks for mandatory information and the email field was not mandatory, the State webpage could not be submitted because no email address was entered! What kind of genius set up that page and didn’t test it?
You never know who is interested…

Gus is on the Illinois sex offender website.
The above libelous statement has been reported to the Woodstock Police Department for prosecution. The poster's computer and his identification will be determined by law enforcement, and prosecution will occur. When his identity has been determined and he has been charged, full reporting will appear here. He is apparently unaware that his computer leaves a "footprint" every time he hits "Send". Hiding behind "anonymous" is only temporary.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
What! And take time away from the tailgating and jogging in the streets epidemic? Shocking!
it sounds as if something actually got through to gus.
Methinks he doth protest too much!

nice illegal u-turn today gus! and you thought you would be able to follow me with that beetle, not in the snow homo! i wish i had a camera handy just like you so i can prove your dangerous driving. and you think you have the right to follow people if they break a traffic law?
What if it was a cop who posted the "libelous" statement?
What do YOU think should happen to any cop who posted a libelous comment (or commits any other crime)? What if you are a cop who knows that another cop has committed a crime? What do you do?
